The country did not need a currency that’s good for kidnappers and so on. There are people who think they’ve got to be on every deal that’s hot… If it’s hot, they want to be in on it. I think that it’s totally crazy.
- Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman Charlie Munger on CNBC talking about cryptocurrency
[Think about] Fetterman as a nominee at some point for president.
- MSNBC host Katy Tur talking about John Fetterman who won the Pennsylvania senate race even though he is cognitively impaired
I would say to the former president, who I supported and he did great things during his term, I would say to him, move on. A couple of days before the election, he tells the country he has a major announcement. Donald Trump, it was not about you. It was about the candidates that were running, and you took away from them. There’s no question that he hurt candidates all over the country. Donald Trump, you had your opportunity. You hurt your party that you love, and your country in this election. Here’s one issue I didn’t talk about because I don’t want to shame anyone. You’re going to have a problem with the Har Habayis. This is a critical issue. You have a partner that the whole world around us is worried about. I told him that too, between us. It’s not for publication. I don’t want to cause trouble.
- Israeli President Isaac Herzog talking to Shas leadership in a conversation that was caught on a hot-mic
I live in Hebron, am a mother of six sweet children, drive on terror-hit roads and am married to the most threatened man in the country, so yeah, I have a pistol.
- Itamar Ben Gvir’s wife explaining why she brought a pistol to a get-together of minister wives hosted by Sara Netanyahu at the Waldorf Astoria
A @washingtonpost reporter was able to create a verified account impersonating me—I’m asking for answers from @elonmusk who is putting profits over people and his debt over stopping disinformation. Twitter must explain how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again.
- Tweet by Sen. Ed Markey (D- MA)
Perhaps it is because your real account sounds like a parody?
- Elon Musk, in response
And why does your [personal picture] have a mask!?
- Ibid.
NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post (bring back Col!), is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious, an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations, who didn’t have to close up his State, but did, unlike other Republican Governors, whose overall numbers for a Republican, were just average—middle of the pack—including COVID, and who has the advantage of SUNSHINE, where people from badly run States up North would go no matter who the Governor was, just like I did!
- Former President Donald Trump, on social media
Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?
- Ibid.
One of the things I’ve learned in this job is when you’re doing, when you’re leading, when you’re getting things done, you take incoming fire — that’s just the nature of it. I roll out of bed in the morning, I’ve got corporate media outlets that have a spasm, just the fact that I’m getting up in the morning, and it’s constantly attacking, and this is just what’s happened. I don’t think any governor got attacked more, particularly by corporate media, than me over my four-year term. We focused on results and leadership. And, you know, at the end of the day, I would just tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night. The fact of the matter is, it was the greatest Republican victory in the history of the state of Florida.
- Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), when asked about Trump’s attacks
The populist movement is about ideas. It is not about any one person. If the voters conclude that you’re putting your own ego or your own grudges ahead of what’s good for the country, they’re going to look elsewhere, period. While we’re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by reelecting him posthumously.
- The Pennsylvania Democratic Party statement after a dead state representative won reelection
Joe Biden and his administration view Israel and Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu as political enemies, and so they are responding to them the way they respond to all their political enemies: by unleashing the FBI. Our Israeli allies have, since the very beginning, cooperated closely with the United States in investigating this incident, and the State Department and Defense Departments had already drawn their conclusions.
– Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responding to the news that the FBI is investigating the Israeli army for the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, who was killed in a firefight in Jenin last spring
This outrage underscores how corrupt and blatantly politicized the Justice Department has become, and how entirely beholden to the radical left-wing Squad Democrats really are. This administration has spent its time in office weaponizing the DOJ to target their political enemies as a matter of policy, and now they have allowed that tactic to bleed into their obsession with undermining our Israeli allies. Everyone involved with this debacle should be fired or impeached – all the way up to Attorney General Garland.
The biggest takeaway from Tuesday night is that Republican attitudes in regard to mail-in voting needs to change. Right now, it’s like we’re running a 100-yard race against the Democrats and giving them a 45-yard head start. Both parties have limited resources, but while they work during the 50 days of early voting collecting and banking early votes ... we’re just collecting promises to show up on Election Day; it’s not sustainable, and Democrats get better at it every cycle.
- Allegheny County Republican Chairman Sam DeMarco talking to journalist Selina Zito
Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson.
- Actor Rainn Wilson’s new name that he chose in order to bring attention to global warming
I’m going try. If you put everything in the computer, we should have lost 57 seats. The reason is Donald Trump. He brought people out to vote against this. He had a suppressive effect. He out-trumped inflation and crime. He out-trumped the normal cycle of the first off-year election with an incumbent president.
- Democratic strategist James Carville
It’s memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!
- Message that was sent on the KFC app in Germany on November 9
We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error.
- Ibid, issuing an apology
McCarthy…McConnell…McDaniel…McFailure.
- Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) blaming Republican leadership for the epic fail on election day
