TWEETING
"I love Trump’s tweeting, from his eccentric grammar to his wacky capitalization, from his occasional hilarious typos to his caustic venom when he’s in full effect mode. I love how he uses his tweets to seize and set the narrative, and I love watching the debate suddenly become not, say, if gropey Grandpa Badfinger is senile but just how demented he is. And if Trump didn’t tweet, we wouldn’t have “covfefe,” and western civilization would be less grand for it." Kurt Schlichter, Townhall, 7/23DEMOCRATS
"Laws against rioting, looting, and assault exist for a reason – because the people, through their representatives in government, have decided those actions are unacceptable and should be punished. Now, the people whose job it is to follow through on those laws, to enforce them and punish the guilty, are choosing not to.
"There has been no change in the law, rioting isn’t suddenly legal, but you’d never know it by the blanket dismissals of charges against those arrested. This isn’t discretion, it’s abuse.
"A similar abuse of power is taking place in Democratic cities as mayors order police to stand down in the face of riots. Commanding police officers to take a physical pummeling and suffer injuries because the mob is viewed by elected Democrats as an asset is unacceptable; it’s an abuse of power. Yet this has happened from coast to coast.
"If the law doesn’t apply to everyone, if some people are above it, there really is no law. We will have transformed from a free people to a people living at the whims of local dictators. Run afoul of the politics of those in power and face their wrath. Think wrongly on a sliding, situational scale and you might find yourself with the entire power of the state coming after you." Derek Hunter, Townhall, 7/23
RACISM
"The notion that America is systemically racist bodes ill for the future. It's also a dramatic lie. American history is replete with racism; racism was indeed the root of systems ranging from slavery to Jim Crow. But the story of America is the story of the cashing of Martin Luther King Jr.'s promissory note: fulfilling the pledge of the Declaration of Independence to treat all men equally and to grant them the protection of their unalienable natural rights. America has worked to extirpate the nearly universal sin of bigotry in pursuit of the fulfillment of the declaration. The story of America is 1776, not 1619; it's Abraham Lincoln, not John C. Calhoun; it's Martin Luther King Jr., not Robin DiAngelo." Ben Shapiro, Townhall, 7/23
ALL LIVES MATTER
"All told, more than 20 million black children have been aborted since the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973 -- more than the entire number of people brought from Africa during 350 years of the Atlantic slave trade.
"Why do these numbers not engender the same outrage as the deaths of George Floyd or Trayvon Martin? One answer is so unpleasant and painful that we rarely hear it explicitly stated: It's because those responsible want those lives extinguished. Indeed, that is the rallying cry of so many feminists who say, "Shout your abortion," "Abortion is health care" and "Free abortion on demand and without apology."
"In other words, those lives don't matter because someone wants them gone . . .
"We will never achieve a truly compassionate and egalitarian society unless we abandon the selfishness that got us here. Abortion is proof. In a society where unborn lives do not matter, no lives matter." Laura Hollis, Townhall, 7/23
GUNS
"In March, while the COVID-19 virus was beginning to overtake us, Biden said this about Beto O'Rourke after O'Rourke dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Biden: "You're going to take care of the gun problem with me. You're going to be the one who leads this effort. I'm counting on you. I'm counting on you." He then added, "We need you badly, the state needs you, the country needs you. You're the best." Cal Thomas, Townhall, 7/23
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
"Planned Parenthood is condemning its founder, Margaret Sanger, for her “eugenic ideology” and “racist legacy.” But if the nation’s largest abortion provider really wants to erase her legacy, it will also have to erase itself.
"On July 21, Planned Parenthood’s largest affiliate, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY), announced the removal of Sanger’s name from its Manhattan Health Center. The name change, supported by the national organization, came “as a public commitment to reckon with its founder’s harmful connections to the eugenics movement.” But to fight against the notion that some lives are more worthy or valuable than others, Planned Parenthood should do something else too: halt its abortion procedures . . .
"Today, as the largest U.S. abortion provider, Planned Parenthood still encourages the destruction of the unwanted human person. And while Margaret Sanger opposed abortion, others have used her to promote it. As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in Box v. Planned Parenthood last year, “Although Sanger was undoubtedly correct in recognizing a moral difference between birth control and abortion, the eugenic arguments that she made in support of birth control apply with even greater force to abortion.”
"That’s because abortion targets the unwanted unborn, from little girls to those diagnosed with Down syndrome. It also destroys the unborn within African-American communities." Katie Yoder, Townhall, 7/24
BASEBALL
"It is the abnormality of this season that makes it worth opining on. Baseball arrives at the very moment when America most needs a pick-me-up. A resurgent pandemic, economic depression, lawlessness in Portland and Chicago, widespread school closures, a bitter election, and increased tensions with China contribute to the sense that things are out of control. What a relief to spend a few hours each day in blissful ignorance of world events, consumed instead by a perfectly delivered change-up, a risky late-innings pitching change, or a walk-off home run. With the days of Tiger King and The Last Dance long past, and the release of summer blockbusters such as Tenet and Black Widow delayed until the future, only sports can leaven our national life with entertainment and novelty." Matthew Continetti, NRO, 7/25NBA
"As Vice President Mike Pence recently said, “Some of the NBA’s biggest players and owners, who routinely exercise their freedom to criticize this country, lose their voices when it comes to the freedom and rights of other peoples. In siding with the Chinese Communist Party and silencing free speech, the NBA is acting like a wholly-owned subsidiary of the authoritarian regime.” Susan Brown, Townhall, 7/25ELECTION 2020
"Biden is obviously cognitively impaired, he's morphed into a Bernie Sanders lefty and he's been making wrong decisions about race and foreign policy for half a century in Washington." Michael Reagan, Townhall, 7/25KNEELING
"The only baseball player who refused to kneel during a moment honoring Black Lives Matter in Dodger Stadium on Thursday claimed he did so because of his Christian faith. Sam Coonrod, a 27-year-old reliever for the San Francisco Giants, explained his act by saying he only kneels before God, according to TMZ Sports.
"Coonrod also said that his faith kept him from endorsing the Black Lives Matter movement because of its Marxist political platform. “I just can’t get on board with a couple things I’ve read about Black Lives Matter, how they lean towards Marxism. And … they said some negative things about the nuclear family. I just can’t get on board with that.” Drudge Report, 7/25
