Spin Doctors
“Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” —title of a book by CNN talkinghead Jake Tapper, claiming he was too stupid to realize Biden was non compos mentis
“Everybody now talking to these authors — get out of here. Go home. You’re part of the problem. Now you tell us?” —former NBC anchor Chuck Todd apparently admitting his stupidity (Everyone with an IQ above room temperature knew Biden was non compos mentis, but somehow Todd missed it.)
For the Record
“The unmitigated GALL of you profiting off of your collusion with Democrats to gaslight Americans when we noticed Biden’s decline. Even for you, what you are doing here is truly disgusting beyond words.” —Mollie Hemingway on Jake Tapper’s claim he was shocked to find out Biden was almost brain-dead
“The fact that Jake Tapper could make MILLIONS of dollars on a book about something we all saw (and he willingly ignored) perfectly paints what’s wrong with the left-wing media.” —Paula Scanlan
Virtual Signal
“We can’t be ourselves in the Episcopal Church and take this step of resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa. Our church has a long commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and we have historic ties with the Anglican Church of South Africa. … So we’re just not able to take this step. It’s not in line with anything that we’re about.” —Episcopal Church Bishop Sean Rowe in a rather stunning statement of racism
Shot/Chaser
“They’re saying, like, ‘Oh, this guy, you know, he’s a criminal.’ The whole point is that no one person — least of all, no one politician — gets to decide that you’re a criminal. Who decides? We have a process. We have laws. That’s what due process is. You’re not a criminal because the head of the government of the country you live in says you’re a criminal.” —Pete Buttigieg regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia
“Multiple judges determined that Garcia is a gang member. And multiple judges granted his wife’s restraining orders against him because of his violent abuse. He’s also, unambiguously, an illegal immigrant. Hope this helps.” —Guy Benson
Demagogue
“Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
“It kills women to defund care — reproductive care. … This legislation will kill women. That is not a hyperbole.” —AOC
Who Wants to Tell Them?
“Trump has turned the pardon process into the Wild West. What had long been a sober legal proceeding done by career officials in the Justice Department increasingly resides in the White House and depends on the whims of a president who is receptive to arguments of political persecution.” —The Wall Street Journal
Non Compos Mentis
“As it turns out, our new American pope has Haitian and black roots. So, we actually have a black pope.” —”The View” co-host Sunny Hostin
Observations
“One of the big lies we’ve seen spreading around … is that Kamala was somehow disadvantaged by having a shorter campaign. This was actually her single biggest advantage.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller
“Trump dominates the world stage. Biden needed a map to find his way off a stage!” —Gary Bauer
“The Left says illegal aliens deserve the same rights we have. But when Democrats are in power, they actually have more rights than citizens!” —Gary Bauer
Upright
“Far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it’s our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use U.S. policy to dispense justice for their sins. … I believe it is God’s job to sit in judgment — my job [is] to defend America and to promote the fundamental interests of stability, prosperity, and peace.” —Donald Trump
Belly Laugh of the Day
“I trust Qatar like I trust a rest stop bathroom. If they want to be friendly, I want to be friendly back, but with those guys, you know, trust in God but tie up your camel.” —Sen. John Kennedy
