Insight: “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” —Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

“I like to speak the truth and I’m not a part of this woke cancel culture that gets off on trying to silence people all the time.” —NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers

“We have been debating Dave Chappelle for three weeks because he said that only women can give birth.” —Matt Walsh

“China has just tested a space missile that can potentially hit any target on earth. … There’s no denying the gathering danger and the fact that Washington is currently ill-equipped to meet the Chinese nuclear challenge. At the moment, though, we don’t have the national resolve to match the talk of a ‘Sputnik moment’ that the Chinese test has occasioned. President Biden’s defense budget proposal this year would actually have cut defense spending if Congress hadn’t intervened. And the Biden administration’s response to this test was, to say the least, muted. ‘We welcome stiff competition, but we do not want that competition to veer into conflict,’ White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Monday. Usually, sovereign countries don’t ‘welcome’ other countries developing new ways potentially to obliterate their cities.” —National Review

Non compos mentis: “Today on International Pronouns Day, we share why many people list pronouns on their email and social media profiles.” —Department of State (“Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan and our State Department is celebrating ‘International Pronouns Day,’ whatever that is.” —Charlie Kirk | “I suspect the ChiComs are going to put ‘Target They’ on their hypersonic missiles.” —Mark Alexander)

The BIG Lie: “This hateful [girls’ sports integrity] bill in Texas is just the latest example of Republican state lawmakers using legislation to target transgender kids — whom the president believes are some of the bravest Americans — in order to score political points. These anti-transgender bills are nothing more than bullying disguised as legislation and undermine our nation’s core values.” —White House spokesman Ike Hajinazarian

Facepalm: “[Ecuador and the U.S.] are working together and facilitating what had been — in both a good news, bad news story — record drug seizures. The good news being we’re effective. The bad news being it’s a record drug seizure — which means the problem, in a sense, is even larger.” —Secretary of State Antony Blinken

Dumb and dumber: “We’re going to continue to recommend masks in all schools, for all people in those schools.” —CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky disincentivizing getting the jab (not that hardly-at-risk youth need the vaccine)

Game-changer: “Just chill out. Drink a 7-Up. Eat a MoonPie. Quit murdering people.” —Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd

And last… “So if I understand this, in [San Francisco] you need to show proof of vaccination to eat at In-N-Out… unless you shoplift the burger because then it would be illegal for anyone to stop you. The Hamburglar loophole.” —Frank J. Fleming
