QUOTES OF THE WEEK
“I haven’t really found evidence he actually had a real job in the private sector.”
US Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), referring to opponent Mandela Barnes in this week’s US Senate debate
“I say this as a father of a man who … lost his life in Iraq.”
President Joe Biden (“Beau Biden died of brain cancer on May 30, 2015, at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, rather than in Iraq.” —Newsweek)
“You may not like what I got done, but the vast majority of the American people do like what I got done.”
Joe Biden
“Let me start off with two words: Made in America.”
President Joe Biden
“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war. I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”
Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard
“The economic headwinds are so tough, and Biden just doesn’t have the oomph as a candidate anymore. People don’t really want him around. And he can’t really make his case. I don’t think the Democrats are in any better place.”
ABC News’s Terry Moran
“To this day, I have never heard a normal person say that they are worried about ‘our democracy.’ But inflation? Its discussion is ubiquitous.”
Charles C.W. Cooke
“A lot of these consultants think if all we do is run abortion spots that will win for us. I don’t think so. It’s a good issue. But if you just sit there and they’re pummeling you on crime and pummeling you on the cost of living, you’ve got to be more aggressive than just yelling abortion every other word.”
Democrat strategist James Carville
“America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse.”
Yahoo Finance editor Sandra Salathe
“Nobody should have to go to jail for smoking weed.”
Vice President Kamala Harris, who put nearly 2,000 marijuana offenders behind bars as California attorney general
“Kamala [Harris] accuses Republicans of ‘dereliction of duty’ on the border that she hasn’t even visited as the actual BORDER CZAR. This is like OJ calling you a bad husband.”
Jimmy Failla
