I don’t know how he’s going to get up in the morning.” But he ...still thought he did a good job. – Trump’s impeachment attorney David Schoen talking to the Jewish Insider about his cocounsel Bruce Castor who gave a rambling opening statement in defense of Trump which left everyone – on all sides of the aisle – perplexed

Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children.

How is that any different from hating someone for their political views? – Social media post by a conservative actress, resulting in Disney firing her, making her the latest victim of cancel culture, even though many of her colleagues have equated conservatives with Nazis and Trump with Hitler

Covid did not get into the nursing homes by people coming from hospitals. Covid got into the nursing homes by staff walking into the nursing home when we didn’t even know we had Covid. Staff walking into a nursing home even though they were asymptomatic because the national experts all told us you could only spread Covid if you had symptoms, and they were wrong. Covid may have been brought into a nursing home because visitors brought it in and didn’t know they were contagious, because the guidance was “you can only be contagious if you have symptoms…” -Ibid.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called his and the state’s handling of the coronavirus “beautiful.” My dad being placed on a ventilator wasn’t beautiful… .My father dying all alone wasn’t beautiful…. The Cuomo administration denying my father’s family and community a proper funeral wasn’t beautiful…. Hearing Cuomo blame these deaths on G-d, former President Donald Trump, Mother Nature, the media, the nursing home staff, and arguably even the nursing home patients themselves wasn’t beautiful. - Tracy Alvino, USA Today
