I should sooner live in a society governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the 2,000 faculty members of Harvard University. — William F. Buckley, Jr., author, editor, and TV host
Number two is how mean-spirited, partisan, and egotistical these award ceremonies have become. We, the great unwashed, are constantly lectured, hectored, shamed… That includes our personal beliefs, our country, and our faith. Who wants to spend four hours watching amoral, marginally-talented people virtue-signal? According to the ratings, pretty much no one. — John Nolte, columnist, Breitbart
According to the Left, white men flooding into a country uninvited is called colonization, but Mexicans flooding into America uninvited is...something else. Basically, as long as you aren’t white, whatever you do is totally fine. — Candace Owens, author, Blackout
Everybody is making their own decisions now. Where we are forced to comply with Dr. Fauci and his Faucisms, we do. But in private, most of us are doing what we want, when we want, and have been for a long, long time. We do try to take precautions. — Rand Paul, U.S. senator
We Americans haven't yet figured out what to do with Biden.
Do we treat him as we would a cherished but mentally dimming granddad?
Do we empathetically excuse his lack of grasp of the basics of his job?
Do we ignore his lack of engagement?
Do we start making noise about trotting out the doctors and getting him examined? …
You know he's not fully grasping what he's saying.
You know because he can lie without even blinking.— Terry Paulding, columnist, American Thinker
To date, the Supreme Court has clearly demonstrated its unwillingness to review any serious challenges alleging 2020 vote fraud. We should expect even less help now that every Dem, the DOJ, SCOTUS, big corporate CEOs, the MSM, and even the DoD are seemingly united. I see little chance that adult supervision will reappear in time to save America from the Orwellian future that awaits. — James Stansbury, columnist, American Thinker
This is a breathtakingly bold scam in an age of scams. Only 9% of the money pledged in a "COVID relief bill" is being specifically directed toward COVID relief. The other 91% is essentially being spent on a wide-ranging campaign to re-elect Democrats. … Has any previous group of would-be totalitarians ever acted so quickly and boldly? Chairman Mao? Pol Pot? … Today's Democrats are tyrants in tyrant's clothing. They are intent on robbing us of our past and stealing our future. They want to replace America with its opposite. They are shockingly good at being evil. — Eric Utter, columnist, American Thinker
At the end of the day, during the Trump administration, we were reducing our CO2 emissions faster than any of our European allies. We don’t have to join the Paris Climate Accord, but by joining it, it allows China to get off without doing anything on climate and it requires us to pay a lot of money to other countries that, quite frankly, aren’t meeting their own obligations. — Andrew Wheeler, former EPA administrator
The government is the only entity that can take 5k from you, pocket 4k, give you 1k back, and you say 'thank you'. — Zuby, rapper

Scott Hounsell: It seems everything with liberalism is about two things: force and, as a direct result, hypocrisy. Whether it is taxes, speech, or any of the other 100 different ways it seeks to control your life, the inherent requirement for the left’s enforcement mechanism of their grandiose ideological quest is always force. Don’t pay your taxes? Force. Don’t want to buy an electric car? Force. Don’t want to believe that a man can become a woman? Force. And as we have been seeing more recently, decide you don’t want to get vaccinated? Force. ...
If you think that climate change is as big of a threat as you constantly lecture us that it is, why don’t you just volunteer to make the changes in your life to combat it? ...
If, again, climate change was such a grave threat to our existence, and immediate action is necessary, why would you only give up some? Why would you not give it all up? Why wouldn’t you take the totality of the action available to you, with as much ...
Anony Mee: Joe is building a more impoverished populace, a diminished and less robust commercial sector, and a disheartened electorate. Republicans must pound this message home and give this administration a daily beat-down from now until November 2022. It’s the very least Joe’s minions deserve.

Spruce Fontaine: How does one debate with a side that claims with a straight face that the supply chain problems are an indicator that President Brandon has fixed the recession (according to Sec. Buttigieg) or that the $3.5-trillion infrastructure package is already paid for?
