“Hot enough for you? Thank a MAGA Republican. Or better yet, vote them out of office.” —Hillary Clinton (“The Democrat Party has fallen fully into a state of primitive superstition. They have all the scientific credibility of an Aztec priest in the year 1450.” —Matt Walsh)

“It’s so upsetting when people say: ‘But I didn’t have anything to do with it. I didn’t own slaves.’ No, but you continue to reap the benefits of it! —"The View” co-host Sunny Hostin

The BIG Lies

“Did you ever think we’d be talking about banning books in America? Banning history? I’m serious.” —Joe Biden

“The president — what he is working on, the policies that he’s moved forward on, is making sure that we limit … the unlawful entry into this country.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“We’ve created more than 13 million jobs. We’re in a place where wages are up. Inflation is coming down; it’s easing. And we have talked about Bidenomics, the president’s plan, and how it’s moving this country forward.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

“The American people are beginning to feel Bidenomics.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

Observations

“Children are the most vulnerable among us, the most impressionable, the most likely to suffer abuse at the hands of adults. We don’t let young kids drive, drink alcohol, or head to the range with a pistol. We don’t let them vote, marry, sign contracts, buy cars, or obtain credit cards. Heck, there are countless stories of some perhaps well-meaning busybody who called the cops on unattended children at neighborhood playgrounds. Yet we’re supposed to conduct medical experiments on children based on their confused emotions? Really?!” —Nate Jackson

“Pretending like pop culture is not important because you don’t care is why we lose.” —Brett Cooper

The ChiCom Chronicles

“Globalization only made China stronger, and it fractured America’s social compact, leading to the intense polarization of our politics today. The highly educated winners of globalization are on one side; abandoned Americans turned to populism, nationalism and Donald Trump. Overconfidence in immigration-driven demographics will lead to similar upheavals.” —Daniel McCarthy

“In an age when public trust in government is already strained to the breaking point, and each party hardly accepts the democratic legitimacy of the other, calling the cohesion of the people into question is not only reckless; it’s potentially suicidal. That’s what Beijing is counting on. … Population matters, but continuity of character matters more. Without that, a nation ceases to be.” —Daniel McCarthy

And Last…

“You have to have a sense of humor if you follow politics. Otherwise, the sheer fraudulence of it all will get you down.” —Thomas Sowell
