In deciding which of my favorite quotes to share with you each day, I look for words that inspire, encourage, bring hope, comfort, a bit of humor, pearls of wisdom, or thoughts on combatting the negative aspects of life.

Today is not one of those days. Because this very brief quotation demands attention if for no other reason than to point out what we are up against. It was uttered — no, spewed — last week by someone whose ignorance is only exceeded by her innate cruelty. And, by what I can only assume is a diabolical joke being played on the world by some unseen cosmic force, she is the current Attorney General of the United States: Pam Bondi.

We’ve all read about her complete meltdown before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday while dodging serious questions concerning the notorious Epstein Files. But, amongst all of the vile insults and outright lies that she screamed out at the Committee members — while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge the group of Epstein’s victims seated directly behind her — one comment stood out for me.

As she deflected yet another question — this one from California Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren concerning the redactions of some of the files — she actually said this:

“I find it interesting that she [Lofgren] keeps going after President Trump, the greatest president in American history.”

And she said it with a straight face.

Now, I have to assume that her definition of “American history” only encompasses the last 25 years or so, when in fact — as any American with even a third-grade education knows — the history of this country dates back 250 years.

Because — forgetting about the last 25, or even 50 years, and looking further back — she has, in one brief, twisted, demented sentence, dismissed the likes of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, two Roosevelts, Truman, Kennedy . . .

It truly boggles the mind.

Just sayin’ . . .
