Jefferson's words on equality are often seen as self-evident, yet they fail to encompass enslaved individuals, women, and other marginalized groups, revealing a significant contradiction.

Watters expressed, 'Many people are saying, do women have the emotional maturity to be president? Many people are saying, do they have the personal contacts in the business world to manage the economy?' He listed these claims to justify his controversial stance.

Scott pre-empted gossip site TMZ, writing, 'Hey TMZ. Yes, I'm at Disney with my grandkids. Should we be in DC? Yes! But I don't get to make that decision.'

Rep. Chip Roy stated, 'We aren't getting the job done. Part of that is because we are bound by this big, broken, fake filibuster of 60 votes. But part of it is you gotta have the willpower to do it.'

Trump's removal of Attorney General Pam Bondi illustrates his growing frustration with his inability to implement his agenda, particularly regarding the Epstein case.

Some senators are pushing the White House to appoint Sen. Mike Lee as Attorney General following Bondi's ouster and plan to pitch Trump directly on the idea, sources told me.

As far as President Trump and boots on the ground, I don't understand why the base, which they have already, they understand, wouldn't have faith in his ability to execute on this. Look at his track record of pursuing peace through strength, America First outcomes, the defense secretary began.

Paula White stated, 'No one has paid the price like you have paid the price.' She emphasized that Trump faced betrayal and false accusations, similar to Jesus, and that his journey reflects a divine plan.

O'Reilly stated, 'There isn't one serious person that thinks there will be a draft. Not one. These are hucksters, these are scare mongers. It's not going to happen, it's ridiculous, it's not necessary.'

The conservative commentariat now spends most of its time talking to itself about itself. It is increasingly divorced from the issues that impact actual Americans. It can't even pretend to care anymore. I'm disgusted by the whole thing at this point.

The Department of Homeland Security's Facebook account recently posted a recruiting notice for ICE under the banner "WE'LL HAVE OUR HOME AGAIN"-the title of a white-nationalist anthem by the Pine Tree Riots ("By blood or sweat, we'll get there yet"). The Department of Labor recently posted a video montage referencing American battle scenes under the tagline "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American"-a slogan close to the Nazi-era Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.

The most notable, and perhaps most effective, ad of the 2024 presidential campaign featured footage of the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, voicing her support for gender-affirming treatment for inmates in federal prisons. "Kamala is for they/ them. President Trump is for you," the narrator concluded. The spot was a crisp, 30-second encapsulation of one of the key Republican talking points of the cycle: that "wokeness" was sweeping the nation and upending established ways of life, and that Donald Trump would fight against it.

Ben Shapiro is a conservative provocateur. Ever since he was a teen-ager at U.C.L.A. writing op-eds for the Daily Bruin, he has shown a penchant for the rhetorical grenade. Women who have abortions are "baby killers." Western civilization is "superior" to other civilizations. "Israelis like to build," he tweeted in 2010. "Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage. This is not a difficult issue. #settlementsrock." Shapiro is now forty-two, and his rhetoric has mellowed only somewhat.
