FOR THE RECORD

“[Ilhan] Omar shouldn’t have lost her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee because she believes rootless cosmopolitans are brainwashing the world for the ‘Benjamins.’ She should have lost it for downplaying 9/11 and equating the United States with theocratic terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. She is neither ideologically nor morally prepared for the job. … Omar’s rhetoric is already the norm in academic and activist leftist circles, so it’s unsurprising. She could read the Hamas Charter into the Congressional Record and her defenders would claim she was merely being ‘critical’ of Israel. No matter what she says, no matter how often she lies, the partisans at The Washington Post will contend criticism of her is ‘inextricable from her religion.’ The bigot is actually the victim.”– David Harsanyi

 

THE BIG LIES

“Am I taking blame for inflation? No. Because it was already there when I got here, man. Remember what the economy was like when I got here? Jobs were hemorrhaging. Inflation was rising. We weren’t manufacturing a damn thing here.” – Joe Biden (Fact-checks: Inflation was 1.4%. Half of the 22 million jobs lost because of COVID shutdowns had already been recovered. The manufacturing sector boomed in the Trump years.)

“The state of the union and the state of our economy is strong.” – Joe Biden

“There have been so many accomplishments under this administration, it can be difficult to list them in a distilled way.” – Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg

 

AND LAST…

“It is pathetic that the President has effectively allowed an obvious spy overflight of our country by an enemy foreign power. The Chinese sent a balloon either because it could do something satellites couldn’t, or as a show of strength. Either way, Biden’s decision is cowardice.” – Ben Shapiro
