Common Core Budget

“The CBO recently projected that the debt will increase $20 trillion over the next 10 years. Biden plans to jack up taxes and increase spending, the combination of which he claims will somehow knock $3 trillion off that $20 trillion — ergo, he’s ‘reducing the deficit.’ Unfortunately for all of us, his funny math will never actually add up.” —Nate Jackson

The Gist of It

“Many of the actions [on January 6] cannot be excused. That’s not how civilized countries handle politics. It’s not acceptable behavior in the United States, where we still believe in law and order. But none of that justifies the left’s politicization of the Capitol mob. The takeover of the U.S. Capitol was horrible, but it was nowhere near a ‘coup’ or an ‘insurrection.’ It just wasn’t. Those trying to portray it as such are milking the situation for political gain.” —Neil Patel

“Why didn’t [Nancy] Pelosi release the J6 video? The short answer is obvious: Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer wanted to maintain total control on the J6 narrative, and they succeeded.” —Mark Alexander

For the Record

“Remember: Joe Biden rescinded Donald Trump’s executive order banning TikTok, and he replaced it with a far more accommodating posture, including welcoming TikTok influencers to the White House to — no kidding — discuss Ukraine policy.” —Douglas Andrews

Upright

“For some reason, with hundreds of citizen kidnappings, far too many murders and an unfathomable number of Americans now dropping dead from cartel-supplied fentanyl poison, bipartisan elites cite concerns about diplomatic niceties and say our hands are tied. Nonsense. Our hands are not tied. … It is time to rain hell on the cartels, stopping their illegal alien smuggling, fentanyl-peddling chemical warfare, thuggery, brutality and corruption once and for all.” —Josh Hammer

Re: The Left

“Radical gender ideology is pervasive. It is marketed to children on the brink or in the throws of puberty. It targets feminists who have no desire to be married or mothers. It targets lesbians who may not perfectly fit into their definition of gender roles. It targets men who are porn addicted or struggling with mental illness. It appeals to pathological narcissists of all stripes as a means to achieve power and prestige. It is a soul sickness that presents as a solution to an identity crisis that leads to destruction first through puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, then through cosmetic surgeries, then through mutilation surgeries that remove sexual organs or create useless facsimiles of the desired sexual organ. None of these promised solutions ever bring about the promised result: becoming whatever their declared identity is.” —Emmy Griffin

“Leftists are playing ‘God,’ believing they can change reality. But both God and science say there are only two genders. Anything else is insanity that denies reality.” —Gary Bauer

Theater of the Absurd

“While there are many forces and people at work who seek to spread lies and misinformation, let me set the record straight: Abortion care is routine medical care. Abortion care is safe. Abortion care is a fundamental human right. Abortion care is healthcare.” —Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley

The BIG Lie

“Our administration will continue to build on the actions we’ve taken to expand supply and provide cost relief in areas like energy and healthcare. These actions have made a meaningful difference for American families.” —Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen

And Last…

“If you are a believer, you are ‘in Christ,’ which means that you are also in ‘the Body of Christ’ (1 Corinthians 12:27). It also means you are to be engaged with the people of God — fellowship is not optional. … Body life is messy, but it is only in community that we can encourage one another and bear one another’s burdens. In this environment, we should be able to be transparent with each other about the sin we struggle with.” —Ron Helle
