QUOTES OF THE WEEK

“We’ll certainly never forget the dark days of June 6 — January 6, excuse me.”
Joe Biden

“Of course it’s a great American value to protest, but I don’t believe living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful.”
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA)

“How do the Democrats, how do all of us on that side, say January 6th was wrong if you can have the same pictures going on on college campuses? You lose the moral high ground.”
MSNBC’s Al Sharpton

“Who would take over our buildings and put another flag up? That may be fine to other people but it’s not to me. My uncle died defending this country. And these men and women put their lives on the line. And it’s despicable that schools will allow another country’s flag to fly in our country.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams

“These college students say they are fighting genocide, but they subscribe to the same belief system that led to the Holocaust.”
Lisa Boothe

“A key difference between 1968 and today is that protestors then were revolting against an institution dominated by traditional liberals, whereas the radicals have steadily taken over the universities since. Today’s protestors are only crudely expressing the attitudes and tropes that they hear in many of their classrooms.”
Rich Lowry

“The basic formula for fighting back against Hamas’ useful campus idiots is simple: suspend, expel, arrest, prosecute and, as appropriate, deport the abominable mini-jihadis.”
Josh Hammer

“Smashing windows with hammers and taking over university buildings is not free speech. It is lawlessness and those who did it should promptly face the consequences.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

“This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences.”
UF spokesman Steve Orlando

“These ‘Little Gazas’ are disgusting cesspools of anti-Semitic hate full of pro-Hamas sympathizers, fanatics, and freaks. … The terrorist sympathizers in these Little Gazas aren’t ‘peacefully protesting’ Israel’s conduct of the war. They’re violently and illegally demanding death for Israel, just like their ideological twins, the ayatollahs in Iran.”
Senator Tim Cotton (R-AR)

“It should not go unnoticed that President Biden has the ability to stop all of this on a dime. All he’s got to do is call the college presidents and say, look, if you don’t get control of your campuses, I’m going to withhold your federal money. The president hasn’t done that.”
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA)

“Law and order was a key theme that drove the 1968 election, which resulted in Richard Nixon’s victory over Hubert Humphrey. Another key event that came to symbolize 1968 and Humphrey’s defeat was the utter chaos at the Democrat National Convention, which was held in Chicago. Well, guess where Democrats are holding their national convention this year? That’s right — Chicago.”
Gary Bauer

“This is not complicated. Hamas committed the worst attack against Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas still has hostages, including five Americans. For defending itself and for going after an enemy that imbeds itself with civilians, Israel stands accused of ‘genocide.’”
Larry Elder

“The FBI director said that he worries about the Right. Don’t worry about the Right. The Right’s fine. Worry about the Left, because this is a movement from the Left. These are radical-left lunatics, and they’ve got to be stopped now, because it’s going to go on and on, and it’s going to get worse and worse.”
Donald Trump

“I will pay for any gay or trans anti-Israel protesters on campus to travel to Gaza and march for gay and trans rights there. I’ll rent out a plane, fly there and accompany you on a bus to the border of Gaza. I’m sure your arguments for tolerance will be well received there.”
Clay Travis

“When the Supreme Court says, ‘No prayer in school,’ ‘Abortion on demand,’ and ‘Men can marry men,’ the left insists that we follow and respect the court. But when the court says, ‘Abortion isn’t in the Constitution’ or ‘Christians can’t be forced to violate their faith,’ those same people scream, ‘The Supreme Court is illegitimate! It should be ignored!’”
Gary Bauer

“[People] need [comedy] so badly and they don’t get it. … Where is it? This is the result of the extreme Left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people.”
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld

“Imagine being such a strong feminist that you cheer for men to physically dominate women in sports.”
Tim Young

OUTRAGE OF THE WEEK

The Open Borders Administration is collecting illegals who are ineligible for asylum and distributing them all across the country under the laughable terms of what they call their “migrant parole program.” As Fox News’s intrepid Bill Melugin — one of the only network journos covering Biden’s intentional 10 million-and-counting border invasion — grimly reports: “During an eight-month period from January through August 2023, roughly 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via the program. Of those, 80% of them, (161,562) arrived in the state of Florida in four cities: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa Bay, according to DHS data obtained via a subpoena by the House Homeland Security Committee and provided to Fox News. The policy was first announced for Venezuelans in October 2022, which allowed a limited number to fly or travel directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally, had a sponsor in the U.S. already, and passed certain biometric and biographical vetting. The program does not itself facilitate flights, and migrants are responsible for their own travel.” Melugin adds, “By the end of February 2024, more than 400,000 nationals have arrived under the parole program, according to Customs and Border Protection data.” Imagine that. Illegals don’t even have to make the perilous trek to our southern border anymore. They can simply bypass our immigration laws and invade our country by plane.
