Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Janet Yellen, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Larry Elder, and more.

Dumb & Dumber

“All Americans — both those who are well off and those who are near the bottom of the income distribution — are better off now.” —Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen

“To aspire to create wealth is a good thing, as far as I’m concerned, if that is what one chooses. I, on the other hand, have chosen to live a life of public service.” —Vice President Kamala Harris (Net worth: $8 million.)

The BIG Lie

“MAGA Republicans’ plan would increase inflation by repealing the Affordable Care Act, side with Big Oil to raise utility bills, let Big Banks rip off Americans, and blow up the debt by slashing taxes for billionaires. My plan puts working families first.” —Joe Biden

Projection

“The only thing that [Republicans] would want to do with this [Joe Biden-Robert Hur interview] audio is to basically misconstrue and pretend as if what people are reading is actually not what happened. … If we had a party that lived up to being the ethical people that we were elected to be, then I don’t think that there would be a big concern, but we know that they cannot be trusted with anything that can be manipulated. … We’re talking about an administration that has been completely transparent.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

Biden Crime Family

“Given the array of serious crimes allegedly committed by Biden family members, Hunter’s gun conviction represents the equivalent of nailing Al Capone over unpaid parking tickets.” —Larry Elder

For the Record

“Either out of profound moral confusion, enmity toward Israel, self-loathing of the West, or all of the above, many people since Oct. 7 have confused victim with victimizer, hostage-rescuers with hostage-takers, and the forces of civilization with the forces of barbarism. If Israel can’t even bring home its own, the world is truly upside down, just the way Hamas wants it.” —Rich Lowry

Political Futures

“A debate and an election run strictly on issues and what has been proven to work in the past, and what hasn’t worked, is the way to build and sustain strong nations that contribute to their societies rather than a ‘take mentality’ based on what you think you are entitled to.” —Cal Thomas

And Last…

“Biden campaign is now demanding that he doesn’t have to stand during the debate. Next they’ll demand he doesn’t have to talk.” —Jimmy Failla
