"To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker."- Frederick Douglass
The goal is to destroy capitalism, and to seek revenge. The Black Lives Matter movement, founded based on fraudulent narratives of the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases, is led by anti-American, anti-capitalist activists. They have concocted a false narrative of mass murder of Blacks at the hands of police, when the statistics show otherwise.-William Jacobson

Based simply upon case and death numbers, Hawaii’s David Ige is arguably the most successful governor in the country. But his mandatory quarantine rules have simultaneously destroyed the state’s tourism industry and his state has 26% unemployment.-@jimgeraghty
You know who will send you to your dictionary every five minutes? Edith Wharton. In the first few pages of The Custom of the Country, she refers to “the batrachian countenance of Peter Van Degen” and to the “grotesque saurian head” of the same. Animal adjectives are popular with fiction writers, who need lots of them, and with political columnists, who need only a few of them, mainly asinine, mustelid, and ovine. Wharton, probably under the influence of William James’s Principles of Psychology, sometimes takes a kind of physiognomic approach to characterization.-Kevin D. Williamson
“Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy. If only one vote has been illegally rung up or fraudulently stuffed into a ballot box, the integrity of that entire election is undermined.”- William M. McSwain, U.S. Attorney Eastern District of Pennsylvania
Faith is this extraordinary principle which links man to God; faith is this thing that keeps a man from hell and puts him in heaven; it is the connection between this world and the world to come; faith is this mystic astounding thing that can take a man dead in trespasses and sins and make him live as a new being, a new man in Christ Jesus.- Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The corona virus has highlighted problems in our medical supply system. Bringing medical manufacturing back to the US means doing something about tort reform. Which manufacturer in his right mind wants to manufacture vaccines or supplies and assume potentially outrageous liability?
"NFL owners and head coaches are almost all white. But nearly three-quarters of the players are black...Given that about 13 percent of the U.S. population is black, and given that the Black Lives Matter movement embraces concepts such as proportional representation, today’s NFL teams hardly qualify as diverse."-Victor Davis Hanson
Spain honored its 11th century knight El Cid, who strapped himself to his saddle when he died and led his troops on horseback to victory while dead. So the idea of Joe Biden is nothing new.- Argus Hamilton
“They feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry.”-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, at a town hall, asked about surging violence
Bill Clinton pardoned his own brother for felony distribution of cocaine. And a key witness in the Whitewater scandal for which he and Hillary Clinton were under investigation. And three others convicted in independent counsel Ken Starr’s probe. And Marc Rich, in what was a straight up political payoff. And his CIA director. And his HUD secretary. And eight people convicted in an investigation of his Agriculture Department...-Andrew McCarthy
Clinton also commuted the sentences of convicted terrorists, some of whom hadn’t even asked for clemency. Shameless as he was, though, even he couldn’t bring himself to pardon Oscar Lopez Rivera, the defiantly unrepentant FALN leader...President Obama took care of that.
So Roger Stone won’t go to prison for covering up a crime that never happened during an investigation that never should have begun. My outrage knows no bounds.-Andrew Klavan
“We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.”― R.C. Sproul
