From Reader Mike L., in response to this article‘s headline:
Toy prices in the US could increase by ‘high double digits’ because of tariffs on China | CNN Business
“Oh no! I can’t buy plastic toys with lead paint on them from China cheaply anymore??? Oh, the humanity!”
From Rick Moran:
“It’s not immoral to refuse to take people in. Those who claim we have an ‘obligation’ to feed, house, clothe, educate, and cure tens of millions of suffering people do not live in the real world.”
Yeah, the “Give me your poor” etc. words on the Statue of Liberty are just words on a statue, not official U.S. policy.
From Ward Clark, talking about POTUS’s latest effort to clean up the voting process and the reaction of ILGov Fatboi Pritzker thereto:
“No Democrat, anywhere, objects to someone being required to not only show ID but also to undergo a background check to buy a firearm. But to show an ID to verify citizenship for voter registration, or to actually vote, it seems, is a bridge too far.”
Of course. And the Socialists have to have illegal voters and fraudulent ballots in the process because most sane Americans — U.S. citizens — think that Democrats are a bunch of loonies and would rather vote for a dead skunk than a Democrat and their insane, unnatural and unworkable policies. (I read somewhere that some Democrat pollster discovered that if all registered voters in the country had been forced to go to the 2024 polls at gunpoint, Trump would have won the popular vote not by 1.7% but by over 5%. No wonder they’re panicking.)
But you all knew that.
From SOTI:
“The secret to Paris is to go to any of the major sites, turn around, and walk 45 minutes in the opposite direction. Paris becomes absolutely lovely.”
Couldn’t agree more. One of the highlights of one of my trips to Paris was walking from the Louvre / Palais Royal to our apartment on the Place de la Bastille, all the way along the Rue de Rivoli / Rue Ste-Antoine.
From John Nolte:
“A public that had come to sympathize with the bigotry and treatment of homosexuals no longer feels that same goodwill. After all, we were told that gay people just wanted to be left alone, to be allowed to live and let live. That turned out to be a big, fat lie. In about six seconds we went from, How does my same-sex marriage affect you, to openly targeting little kids with grooming, gay porn in elementary schools, drag queens reading to kids, boys playing in girls’ sports, men barging into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, and this monstrous push to permanently mutilate children as sacrifices to the trans gods.”
Phrases such as “camel’s nose”, “thin end of the wedge” and “slippery slope” come to mind.
From our old buddy Senator Schmuckie Schumer (Soc-NY), talking about taxes:
“You know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me?’ “
Couldn’t have put it better myself, asshole. And it’s not just “greedy business owners” who feel that way, either — something your Party Of Thieves is going to discover soon enough.
