If a song works acoustically, it will work forever.

Bari Weiss says that Sixty Minutres needs to "win back audience trust" which is why she's renamed the show The Magnificent President Trump's White Christian Variety Hour

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer exists. - Hannah Arendt

the most dire pre-election warnings about how Trump would damage America and the world, dismissed as hysterical at the time, were in fact understated

Let’s be clear: When it comes to Venezuela’s giant oil reserves, America’s oil companies will be making money for themselves. During the 2024 campaign they made a deal with Trump on which they’re still cashing in. Everything is for sale.

Robert A. George Not only aren't they cops, they're not even good *fake* cops. My dad and brother were cops in a small city; never saw the police training where a cop walks directly up to the driver's window from the *front* and yanks on the door, a reckless move most real cops would never do.

I’m not easily shook these days but the number of people who think the appropriate punishment for not following a masked federal agent’s orders is assassination is rather shocking

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Ronald Reagan’s budget director.

It turns out the biggest set of testicles in DC is on the 74 year old math geek.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Troy Neils was sued for not helping a teenager who was sexually assaulted hundreds of times, fired for being a crooked cop, misused campaign funds for personal use and wore a combat service badge after the Army revoked and removed it. An out and out crook.

Phillip: When Trump was impeached for his actions, Republicans said that the remedy was not impeachment but was criminal prosecution. When that criminal prosecution then happened, they said it’s weaponization of justice. Both things cannot be true.

BREAKING: A furious Mayor Frey explodes at the irony that we'd have to question whether Trump's admin would abide by a lawful court order. "The answer BETTER be yes... the answer has to be yes if you are a patriot!" This hits hard.

I guess it’s good for the networks to have Trump apparatchiks on to lie, so we can see how despicable they are. I admire the anchors asking tough questions. But I couldn’t be in the same room as them. And if I were on a panel after, all I’d say is: “They lie. They lie. They lie.”

It would sure be nice if it were joined by a comparable statement from George W. Bush. But even though democracy, decency and America’s future hang in the balance, he chooses to stay silent.

The extent to which residents of Minneapolis are more civic, courageous, and patriotic than business elites, conservative luminaries, and Republican members of Congress, is really striking. It’s a lesson not to be forgotten. It’s one that would not have surprised Hubert Humphrey.

Wearing a cross outside the mustard suit brings the ensemble all together.

Donald Trump is probably the only President who would give an overtly partisan speech at an event like this. He's only interested in dividing people, and our country is worse off for it.
