QUOTES
“Professor Steven Pinker, hailed as a free-thinking intellectual, slammed efforts by Chris Rufo and others to stop woke indoctrination in schools[:] “Stoking the culture wars, rallying the Trumpist base, and using the power of the state to defeat bad ideas is not the road back to sanity”…Rufo responded Pinker saying he and others like him have "presided over the decades-long collapse" of academia. "Boomers like Steven Pinker presided over the decades-long collapse of standards in academia. Now they want to lecture sanctimoniously about ‘how not to fix academia,’" Rufo tweeted. "Sorry, buddy, we're not going to listen to people who can't even open their comments. We're in charge now.””

“…the idea that policing—and every police department today—is a “direct descendant” of slave patrols or the Fugitive Slave Act is ahistorical nonsense no dumber than saying policing was invented to catch escaped Hebrew slaves in ancient Egypt. … Rep. Val Demmings, a black woman, was the chief of police in Orlando before she went to Congress. Was she just good at hiding her racism? Do we really believe that the San Francisco Police Department (established in 1849), run by a black man, is compelled to compound the legacy of slavery despite all of his training and beliefs, never mind the political culture of San Francisco? How about the black female Memphis police chief?”

“…Biden … gave the impression that he never took classified materials home with him. He left them in unsecured locations, and we still don’t know who glanced at them or had access to the multiple locations where they were improperly stored. Trump had all the files at Mar-a-Lago under Secret Service protection and handled by staffers with the proper security clearances…The FBI raided Trump but is dragging their feet with Biden, creating a chaotic chain of custody concerning the re-possessed files grandpa left out in the open. Also, the fact that the FBI doesn’t know where the documents are should at least spark a fire at the DOJ to blitzkrieg the effort to recover as much as possible on a speedy timeline, right? They don’t care because Biden is a Democrat, which isn’t a shocking development from a corrupt agency that's become the Left’s Gestapo force.”

“Police don't stop people at random. They stop people whom they believe to be breaking the law. … George Floyd was a fentanyl addict (which, of course, contributed in no way to his death) who'd just passed a counterfeit $20 bill -- not to mention the armed home invasion robbery he'd committed back in Texas; Michael Brown had just knocked over a convenience store and gratuitously roughed up the small Asian owner on his way out; Freddie Gray was a heroin dealer in possession of an illegal switchblade; Breonna Taylor was the bag woman for a fentanyl dealer; Daunte Wright was driving with an expired registration and had a warrant for his arrest stemming from his choking a woman during an attempted armed robbery. For any meaningful comparison of civilians killed by cops, the denominator needs to be "percentage of contacts with the police.””

“When progressives can’t pass their agenda through the front door in Congress, they sneak it through a regulatory back window. That’s what the Biden Administration is doing with gas stoves, as the Energy Department this week proposed new rules that amount to a gradual de facto ban.”

“Like it or not, the hijab has become the symbol of oppression by the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially its oppression of women. It would be particularly tone-deaf to celebrate that symbol in 2023 while the Iranian government is arresting and killing women who are protesting the mandatory hijab and the men who impose it on them…The progressives who celebrate World Hijab Day also call themselves feminists, but they are really cultural relativists. They express their low expectations for non-Western cultures by excusing purdah (forced female seclusion) and other forms of misogyny as "just their way." They signal virtue by veiling themselves for a day, but then take off their Gucci scarves with impunity, unlike real women in Iran and Afghanistan and even some in the West. Instead of celebrating World Hijab Day this year, we should celebrate its opposite, or as close as we can get to its opposite, something called amameh parani or "turban throwing" (or "tipping"). This phenomenon began in Iran late in 2022 as protesters grew more confident and their performative acts of rebellion against the ruling clerics grew bolder. Easily identified by their robes and white or black turbans, the "pious" members of Iran's valeyat-e-faqih (guardianship of jurists) are the issuers of fatwas, condemners of freedom, killers of fun. The act of tipping off, or grabbing and throwing, their amameh (the Shia turban) signifies both defiance and profound disrespect. It is in some ways comparable to an Arab using his shoes to beat a foe, as the revelers in Baghdad did to a statue of Saddam Hussein on April 9, 2003, and an Iraqi journalist attempted to do to George W. Bush on Dec. 14, 2008.”

“California Democrats have used the $4 billion in annual cap-and-trade auction revenue to subsidize electric vehicles and solar panels for the wealthy. The dirty little secret that California and Ms. Hochul won’t share with voters is that cap and trade is a regressive tax that punishes low- and middle-income earners.”
