VILLAINS OF THE WEEK
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
“In case you aren’t keeping score, the first ever ‘gender fluid’ government employee was arrested for being a serial thief of women’s luggage from airports and the first ‘openly transgender’ Army officer was recently arrested for selling military secrets to the Russians.”
Michael Seifert
“How does one use ‘woman’ in a sentence? One of Cambridge’s examples is, ‘Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth.’ Who assigned Mary’s sex? Her parents? God? Evolution? The SRY gene? And what other human characteristics does Cambridge believe can be altered according to one’s feelings?”
David Harsanyi
“The same leftists who dismiss the Twitter expose on the grounds that ‘it’s a private company’ see no problem using government to compel a private company to provide health insurance, minimum wage, racial diversity and sensitivity training, paid medical and family leave or to require at least one female on its Board of Directors.”
Larry Elder
“A month ago, all those Teslas on the streets of Palo Alto, Austin, and Cambridge were virtue-signaling proof of green moral superiority. Then suddenly, these still wonderful cars are seen as fuel for the prince of darkness. … How sad that the Left despises a man who built real things against the odds and took risks to champion free speech. And how predictable it worshiped a leftist fraud who bilked a million investors and ruined the lives of thousands. The hatred of the accomplished Musk and the worship of the hollow man Bankman-Fried are sad commentaries on how liberalism has descended into progressivism and ultimately into Stalinism.”
Victor Davis Hanson
“Liberals struggle to find viable Twitter alternative after Musk takeover.”
Headline in The Hill
“Just showing up at the border would send a strong signal to the communities that … [Biden] cares about the border communities — just show up. It doesn’t take much to just show up at the border.”
Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar
“When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, this is still wrong.”
Joe Biden
“No one is being thrown out of a restaurant for being gay. No one’s interracial marriage is at risk. Libs don’t live in reality.”
Allie Beth Stuckey
“A conservative can wake up in the morning and be denied service at a restaurant in the afternoon. That’s actually happening.”
Erick Erickson
