“Trust the science” is now the universal way of saying “shut up and conform.”

"When the history books are written about our time in Afghanistan, (Gen.) Milley will look more like a Custer and less like a Patton."

Quote du jour

We who believe there are serious questions about the 2020 presidential election and who want to support litigation to force recounts in states where immense Biden majorities, against all laws of statistics, materialized magically out of thin air on Election Night must keep this in our hearts day and night—ignore the mockery from the mainstream media. We are not only fighting for Donald Trump; we are not only fighting for the Republican Party. We are fighting for the “most wonderful document ever struck off by the brain and purpose of man,” the Constitution of the United States of America, as William Gladstone put it. Even more important, we are fighting for our country. And ultimately, we are fighting for the survival of the freedom of mankind. Yes, it’s that important.

The US won the Second World War in the pacific because of an authentic God given miracle at Midway. Now we need another blessing from on high to win our war. Let us pray. Let us pray.

Quote du jour

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Leni Riefenstahl would like them except for the fact that they’re all Jews and gays and blacks. She made Triumph of the Will with the same idea in mind: strict rules on ethnicity in all aspects of the show. They just had to be all Aryans, preferably blond. No difference at all from the 2020 Academy. The real goal of the Left is not racial equality; it’s demolition of the Constitution. That’s always been true.

Quote du jour

World War II: the most horrible and most interesting thing that ever happened. I think of our men fighting in jungles and being machine-gunned and shelled at Bastogne. I cannot ever express my gratitude to the men and women who fought in that war — Norman Lear, Peter Flanigan, David Scull, Jim Bellows, and about 15 million others. God has been unbelievably good to people like me, who were born in late 1944. Our lifetime was the peak of human civilization.

Now it’s rapidly downhill.

"My dear friend K is from Korea. She has told me about how rigorous the South Korean educational system is. It’s truly staggering. It is so different from ours, which is endlessly dumbing down and requiring less and less work and knowledge that it’s a certainty that Korea will be a giant power very soon. And what will we be? A vast graveyard of what used to be the best hopes and dreams of mankind."

Why are voters turning against Trump because of Covid? What did he do wrong? I don’t get it. Hindsight is 20-20. But no one could have guessed that Covid would jump so fast. And what can Joe Biden, who can barely talk, do to make it any better? Biden recently called Mr. Trump “America’s first racist president.” Wait a minute, senator. How about the 10 or so presidents who owned slaves? How about FDR, who refused to desegregate the armed forces in World War II, or Woodrow Wilson, who insisted on a totally segregated military? Or Jimmy Carter, who vowed to maintain the “ethnic purity” of neighborhoods?

Quote du jour

When I was a lad and my parents drove through the “colored” neighborhoods of D.C., I saw the ragged little black children playing in fire hydrants in their slums. They looked so sad that it broke my youthful heart. I remember thinking that if I “woke” up one morning and was a “colored” person, I would kill myself. Now, I see them in giant Rolls-Royces and see their butts kissed by the entire Democrat Party and it’s great. I want them to be just as happy as they can be by hard work, education, and entrepreneurship.

Quote du jour

"This is just an opinion. I’m not a pediatrician, so I don’t really know what a big sulking baby is, but it seems to me that he is a person who cannot deal with even the slightest bit of frustration and that doesn’t, to me, bode well in a president of the United States. I'd like to see somebody with a little more solid character dealing with the problems we're going to have."

Quote du jour

Here is what I got for Christmas: not having to be in Auschwitz; not having to be beaten to death by Lithuanian death squads with iron bars; not having to be a prisoner in a Japanese prison ship; not having to be galley slave in Roman times; not having to fight in sub-zero cold against Communist hordes in Korea; not having to be in a leukemia ward; not having to be homeless on skid row in downtown L.A. That’s not all. I got to not be tortured and executed by an opposing ethnic group in South Sudan; not being sold into slavery in Brazil; not being hanged for having been born Jewish; not having to be gassed by insecticide by Nazi “scientists.”

Quote du jour

The whole world is rightly overwrought and crazed with grief over the murder of twenty totally innocent and blameless souls last Friday in Newtown. It was and is a catastrophe for the ages.

But Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promises to kill every Jew in Israel and then in the whole world, including babies… and he had his defenders, even at the Democratic National Convention. And it was daily life in Nazi-occupied Europe from 1939 to 1941 to kill thousands of Jewish children every day. But powerful, intelligent men and women in this country defended Hitler, spoke up for him and for keeping America from even sending arms to Britain when England stood alone. What are we to make of that?

"Let me be clear about this: Mr. Obama is wrong. We have complete freedom of speech in this country. We do not apologize to mobs of thugs and bullies for our residents having free speech... We are not ashamed of being a free country. We are proud of it."

Quote du jour

"Do you think that if we eliminated our nuclear arms we could trust every single other nation and terrorist entity on the earth to eliminate theirs FOREVER? What possible goal is worth jeopardizing the entire future of the United States and making us naked to our enemies by nuclear disarmament? Why does it hurt us or anyone else for us to hold onto our nuclear arms forever?"
