Whatever Wednesday

TRENDING

• "Recent comet sightings are signs of Apocalypse, preacher warns" Drudge Report, 7/14
• "6 in 10 adults more tired than ever"  Ditto
• "Grocer giant to no longer return change to customers due to coin shortage"  Ditto

• "Bible experts determine Goliath died of Covid-19"  Ditto

FARRAKHAN

"Farrakhan’s views are as hateful as those of, say, Klan leader David Duke, and he has many more followers and a much wider sphere of influence than Duke. Yet Duke is rightly ostracized across the political spectrum, while Farrakhan remains 
welcome on the left."  Jonathan Tobin, National Review Online, 7/15

ANGELA DAVIS

"Last night, 76-year-old radical Angela Davis was trending on Twitter due to her endorsement of 77-year-old presidential hopeful Joe Biden. Bravely we go into the future, I guess. While no politician can control who supports them, apparently numerous pundits believe that the Davis endorsement is worthy of celebration (though most also carefully avoided noting her blessing was made on Russian propaganda television)."  David Harsanyi, NRO, 7/15

ELECTION 2020

"Joe Biden on Tuesday outlined a $2 trillion four-year plan to create economic opportunities and strengthen infrastructure through investments in clean energy technologies."  Brittany Bernstein, NRO, 7/15

"During an interview with Townhall at the White House Tuesday, President Donald Trump warned the 2020 election could be a "fraud" and "totally rigged" if Democrat governors move forward with massive mail-in-ballot voting schemes. 

"This election's going to be a fraud if they do that," Trump said. "To me that's the most dangerous thing about this election." Katie Pavlich, Townhall

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE . . . NEW YORK

"Yes, COVID-19 daily death rates are now by the dozen rather than the thousand, but New York City’s crime problem, at its worst since the 1990s, is spiraling out of control. In the first three weeks of June, there was more than double the number of shootings compared with last year."  Madeleine Kearns, NRO, 7/15

THE GLORIOUS AGE

"Have we finally reached the glorious age in which Absolute Truth is known with such fulsome certainty that our cultural betters should be trusted to wish dissenters away into the cornfield? Of course not. We're just watching the latest cultural revolution in real-time. Which leaves those who wish to not be purged with two simple choices: stand up together against this round of Maoist purification, or hang separately."  Ben Shapiro, Townhall

THE NEWS

"It is obvious to everyone that Donald Trump boasts and exaggerates about his greatness. Just as it was obvious that former President Barack Obama never needed to boast or exaggerate about his greatness; he had CNN and the rest of the "objective" media gang to do it for him.

"It should be obvious that the "news" deals in part with facts, but so much more of it these days is what Dan Rather called "context and perspective." The heavily biased "context" can make many Americans skeptical of the "facts" located inside it."  Tim Graham, Townhall

CLEMENCY

"Let me educate you, Madam Speaker and others. The presidential power of the pardon is absolute and unchecked. The founders struggled with conferring this power, but as Alexander Hamilton put it in Federalist 74: “The reflection that the fate of a fellow-creature depended on his sole fiat would naturally inspire scrupulousness and caution; the dread of being accused of weakness or connivance, would beget equal circumspection.”  Joe Connor, Townhall
