QUOTES OF THE WEEK
“A funny thing happened on the way to the beer aisle: 39-year-old Bud Light VP of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid thought a creepy, cultish, fingernails-on-the-chalkboard trans activist would make a great company spokesman. It didn’t work. … You thought making Dylan Mulvaney the face of Bud Light was real marketing genius, but now you can’t even give your toxic brew away at softball games and frat parties. And that’s just as it should be for a business that thinks it knows better than its customers.”
Douglas Andrews
“Lock Donald Trump up, or don’t lock him up, but don’t tell me that ‘no one is above the law.’ It’s one of the most ludicrous fantasies peddled by the left.”
David Harsanyi
“‘Inflation is falling,’ headlined The Washington Post [Wednesday]. ‘Why aren’t people noticing?’ Because inflation is NOT falling. It is true that the annual rate of inflation is now 5%, which is considerably lower than last June, when it hit a 40-year high of 9.1%. Yet that means inflation is still growing, just at a slower pace than a year ago or a month ago. … The Post’s story does largely get the details correct, explaining that the rate is slowing and so forth. Yet the vast majority of people saw only the headline and came away misinformed. That’s often how the media misleads and sometimes flat-out lies to consumers.”
Nate Jackson
“The people of Chicago ousted woke Mayor Lori Lightfoot for the even more woke Brandon Johnson. Nothing says we need a change by steering harder in the wrong direction. The reality is Chicagoans have trapped themselves, going nowhere but in a circle of bad politicians and bad policy. So yeah, it’s no wonder Democrats have selected the Windy City for their national convention in 2024! It’s a perfect exemplar of their policies in action.”
Emmy Griffin
“The three poisons of America’s leftist cities are 1) high taxes, 2) schools that don’t educate and 3) crime running rampant. … Alas, our cities can’t be saved if the voters in these metropolises don’t want to be saved.”
Stephen Moore
“Amusing that National Public Radio is now trying to deny the meaning of the word ‘public’ in its name. NPR was literally established and financed by the government as part of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.”
Christopher F. Rufo
“If the media were fair and balanced, they’d be noting with great praise that the GOP is advancing two credible candidates from South Carolina, home of the first shots in the Civil War, who are not white.”
Erick Erickson
“Sooo… Megan Rapinoe and the leftist women who complain that women don’t get paid as much as men in sports… now argue for men to take women’s places in sports… got it.”
Tim Young
“Any parent or doctor who sterilizes a child before they are a consenting adult should go to prison for life.”
Elon Musk
“There’s nothing our nations can’t achieve if we do it together, I really mean it. So thank you all, God bless you all and let’s go lick the world! Let’s get it done!”
President Biden speaking to the Irish Parliament in Dublin
“Naturally, we’re left wondering what exactly this expression means. Did Biden have ice cream on the mind? Did he mean to say ‘sniff’? The world may never know.”
Matt Palumbo, the Bongino Report
