Because the two girls who murdered this man are black, the case has taken on all the partisan connotations you’d expect, including CNN referring to the death of the man as him being “fatally injured” in an “accident.” … The pictures of smiling police officers with the message to not “leave your engine running” and “park in a safe space” are about as tone-deaf as it gets after what happened yesterday. Do you know how you prevent auto-theft? You arrest the criminals who commit them. — Bonchie, columnist, RedState
If [a vaccine passport] became a government mandate, it would go down a dark road very quickly. It becomes a credential. It becomes a 'needing your papers,' if you will. That could be dangerous—and it could turn off people. — Brian Castrucci, Beaumont Foundation
Parties win elections, misread electoral victories as ideological endorsements, overreach, and pay for it at the polls. The Democrats for whom the bill will come due first are well aware of this dynamic. They may not be as good on television as Jon Meacham or Michael Beschloss, but they have plenty of insight into the aspirations and concerns of swing voters. Biden may want to have them over to the East Room. Before they are out of work. — Matthew Continetti, author, The K Street Gang
The Donna facility is this giant tent city that they’ve built. It’s massive. It’s designed to hold a thousand people but under Covid restrictions, its capacity is 250. It right now has over 4,000 people in it. It is at a 1,500% capacity and that meant you saw in these cages children, little boys and little girls, side by side, they’re not 6-feet apart. — Ted Cruz, U.S. senator
Under no circumstances will the state be asking you to show proof of vaccination, and I don't think private companies should be doing that either. — Ron DeSantis, governor, Florida
“Privilege” is two teenage girls stealing a car for fun and ultimately killing a 66-year-old man working for Uber Eats. I don’t care about the race of the girls or the man. MSM won’t tell you because the girls aren’t white and the victim wasn’t black. All human lives matter. — Jenna Ellis, attorney
The Dems are a neoliberal party which serves Wall St & corporate power. They are overwhelmingly led by extremely rich people who serve these power centers. Touting diversity is how they try to hide that, and bad-faith bigotry accusations are how they punish those who report it. — Glenn Greenwald, liberal newsletter editor
The true believer partisans around Dementia Joe have him believing he is this generation’s FDR or LBJ. The moment has chosen him to go “All In” on the Democrat Party agenda in all its radical glory. — ShipWreckedCrew, columnist, RedState
Just to clarify, Jen, you allowed a camera crew in to see the HHS facilities. What we're talking about here are the Border Patrol facilities, the detention cells. … At this point, in terms of allowing access to Border Patrol facilities for reporters, you are being less transparent than the Trump administration. — Chris Wallace, host, Fox News Sunday
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.
