Quotes for our Times:

Kurt Schlichter, writer of conservative commentary: People Are Getting Tired of Woke Nonsense.

And there’s another reason to be glad dumb people are howling about puny slights. Wokeness has survived as long as it has via seizing the moral high ground by falsely asserting that the wokies are fighting bigotry. Of course, what wokeness is really about is enshrining bigotry in our society and leveraging it for power. But, while we are conservawoke to this scam, many normal folks are not. It takes time and repetition to explain that the cynical hucksters calling themselves “anti-racists” are actually the only significant group of active racists left in society. But everyone understands immediately that harumphing all over social media because some nice lady mistook you for a clerk is stupid.

Colby Hall, political commentator: Biden's Coast Guard one-liner went over very differently when Reagan made same reference in 1988.

“I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is, quote, the hard nucleus around the Navy forms in time of war,” Biden said, though in a confusing manner that killed the joke and was met with crickets. “You are a really dull class,” Biden then cracked, which was returned with laughter from the cadets. “Come on, man, is the sun getting to you? I would think you would have an opportunity when I say that about the Navy to clap…” Turns out that Reagan referenced the same exact quote during his speech on May 18, 1988. “My Coast Guard aides have been excellent. One of them taught me that “The Coast Guard is that hard nucleus about which the Navy forms in time of war.'” Katie Pavlich, Editor of Townhall.com:

Facebook 'Fact Checkers' punish and censor debate on climate science.

But the censorship of [Steven] Koonin's book ['Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t and Why It Matters'] and any outlet that dares to discuss it is just one piece of the broader agenda being pushed by Science Feedback. The organization has repeatedly 'fact-checked' Townhall pieces about climate change, labeling them false after ignoring context, falsely rebutting factual climate data, and effectively removing all debate about climate change from Facebook. They also suppress debate on other topics and regularly censor thoroughlysourced stories about CDC guidance, masks, vaccines and more.

Larry Elder is a best-selling author and radio talk-show host: Fake outrage over Cheney 'ouster'; dems 'ousted' Bernie twice.

Sanders, like Cheney, found himself on the wrong side of a party determined to win. This happens. It's called politics. But this, apparently, is the rule: It's OK for Democrats to push Bernie Sanders aside — twice — in order to beat Donald Trump. But it's not OK for Republicans to push Liz Cheney aside in order to beat Joe Biden.
