Monday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joel Berry, Tim Graham, Victor Davis Hanson, and more.
Non Compos Mentis
“If you shoot with an AR-15, let’s say you shoot a deer, you can’t eat it because you basically demolish the animal.” —"The View" co-host Joy Behar
Is the Fix In?
“When the American people are able to take a close look at election time on their options, I think the choice is gonna be clear. … We’re gonna win. Let me just tell you that. We’re gonna win. And I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. But we will win.” —Vice President Kamala Harris
Leftmedia Lob
“Israel must stop weaponising the Holocaust.” —Stockton University professor Raz Segal
For the Record
“[Biden] often says that he decided to run for president when he heard Trump call neo-Nazis ‘very fine people,’ which, of course, Trump never said. I’m bringing this up again, because there are real neo-Nazis right now all throughout America. They are, broadly speaking, supporters of Joe Biden and his political party. They are the youth on our college campuses chanting calls for the genocide of the Jewish people and destruction of the only Jewish state in the world. They are the millions of immigrants we have imported from Muslim nations in recent decades. Their rabid anti-Semitism would make Hitler proud!” —Gary Bauer
“When the fighting erupted, Egypt sealed its border with Gaza and refused to take refugees from Gaza. There’s a reason for that. Egypt already has a problem with extremists and they don’t need any more coming in from Gaza. In fact, Egypt regularly keeps the Gaza border sealed for security reasons.” —Gary Bauer
Double Standards
“The same Marxist revolutionaries melting down [Robert E.] Lee’s statue are the same people who erect statues of prolific child molesters like Alfred Kinsey.” —The Babylon Bee’s Joel Berry
Leftmedia
“Political observers could say the House Democrats are clearly more disciplined and organized. But it should also be said that these pro-Democrat media outlets create no incentives for publicly rocking the boat. Decisions are kept behind caucus doors, and reporters are ready to hail the results after it’s all over.” —Tim Graham
Re: Immigration
“For years, liberals and globalists have pushed for open-ended migration of people across borders, as if borders are entirely arbitrary (if not outright atavistic) and all cultures and ways of life are interchangeable. As the West grapples with the very radical Muslims it voluntarily imported … it has become obvious that assimilation of huge numbers of non-Western immigrants into Western society is simply not working. … Mass migration was always delusional; all cultures are obviously not equal, let alone interchangeable. Now, given the emboldened forces of jihadism the world over, it has never been more important to turn off the spigot.” —Josh Hammer
“The old immigration once enriched America, but our new version is destroying it.” —Victor Davis Hanson
“Europe is belatedly discovering how unbelievably stupid it was to import millions of people from cultures that despise Western values and which often promote hatred toward the people who have let them in.” —Thomas Sowell
