Insight: “There’s one way to find out if a man is honest — ask him. If he says, ‘Yes,’ you know he is a crook.” —Groucho Marx (1890-1977)

Upright: “Disney is putting an openly gay character in a kid’s film for the first time. The Left is outraged that the actor playing the character is straight. A crucial dynamic is on display here. The Left gets what it wants, but demands more. Always more. It is never satisfied. Meanwhile, Christians cede more and more of the culture, rarely offer a peep of protest, and make do with whatever crumbs they are thrown.” —Matt Walsh

Braying Jenny: “It is not a disconnected fact … that American women entering the labor force from 1973 to 2009 added three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. … That is not disconnected from the fact that Roe became the law of the land in January of 1973.” —Chelsea Clinton, who neglected to mention that there are approximately 30 million fewer women (and another 30 million fewer men) since 1973

And last… “Remember when over 100 newspapers agreed to run editorials on the same day defending a free press against Obama after he spied on AP, hacked [Sharyl] Attkisson, got phone records of one reporter, while trying to jail another? Me neither.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor
