At this point, we’ve seen a lot of strange things from politicians. Not too many things shock us anymore given the history of weird, ugly, evil and just flat out crazy kind of things we’ve seen. — Nick Arama, columnist, RedState
How did he ever get elected? #bidenpressconference — Lisa Boothe, Fox News
She [Dana Nessel, attorney general] said straightforwardly that Marlena Pavlos-Hackney had dared to come on this show at 8:00 PM and complain about her. That’s no longer allowed. To compound the offense, Pavlos-Hackney tried to raise money for her own legal defense. That, too, is now a crime in Dana Nessel’s Michigan. — Tucker Carlson, host, Tucker Carlson Tonight
CNN's Defense of Chris Cuomo's Special COVID Privileges is Grotesque.
How can a media outlet credibly claim to denounce abuse of power by political officials when they defend and glorify their own anchor's participation in it? — Glenn Greenwald, Substack newsletter
We live in surreal times, when our political and legal culture have the First Amendment and anti-discrimination law turned on their heads. On the one hand, they suggest that a person cannot refuse service for a particular message that violates his conscience when the customer can obtain that service easily almost anywhere else. Yet, at the same time, they believe that the entire corporate world can collude with each other and government to deny conservatives the ability to obtain any service that essentially allows them to engage in effective speech or commerce. — Daniel Horowitz, host, Conservative Review

FYI: No nine year old child is walking "alone" from Honduras to the United States. They are being smuggled by cartels for a lot of money. — Katie Pavlich
Biden was a functionally incapable candidate last year, of course. Voters knew it. Kids, cats, and dogs knew it. But Democrats were unfazed. Joe was a longtime familiar face. Irascible, cheatin’, influence-peddlin’ old Joe. He was kinda centrist, kinda liberal. Voters weren’t threatened by him, so party powerbrokers settled on him from a woeful field of Democrat presidential contenders. — J. Robert Smith, columnist, American Thinker
The fact that the Times sent this spiteful missive tells us that the left is worried that its insurrection narrative about January 6 is collapsing. The email blast can only be intended to stoke the dying fires behind a narrative intended to destroy conservatives and conservativism in America. — Andrea Widburg, columnist, American Thinker
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 ...
