Friday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Tim Walz, Gary Bauer, Allen West, and more.
Double Standards
“In a moment like this, we put politics aside. At least we should put it all aside, and we have here. … Nobody can deny the impact of [the] climate crisis anymore. At least I hope they don’t. They must be brain-dead if they do.” —brain-dead Joe Biden, putting aside politics…
The BIG Lies
“Their Project 2025 is going to have a registry of pregnancies.” —Tim Walz
“I found out in the first debate Kamala’s a hunter.” —Tim Walz
For the Record
“A lot of jokes have been made about Walz saying, ‘I’ve become friends with school shooters.’ But in a symbolic way, he is a friend to school shooters. Vance’s solution to school shootings is the most obvious and easiest: Hire more school resource officers who could stop shooters. Walz shook his head and said children shouldn’t have to go to school ‘in a fortress.’ School shooters will thank Tim Walz because, if he’s in charge, they won’t have to worry about an officer in the school trying to stop them.” —Gary Bauer
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
“Who wants a Vice President who admits that he gets caught up and is a knucklehead?” —Allen West
“Does Kamala still believe all women now that a woman has accused her husband of slapping her after a party?” —Clay Travis
And Last…
“Israel in the post-Oct. 7 era is not the Israel of before. It is a state unwilling to risk its future on the bet that its enemies will act with reasonable caution. It can no longer afford such bets. And so Israel has set about a mission the West has not pursued in decades: victory. Israel will not back down and cut deals that merely delay the inevitable, buying time for her enemies to arm up. Israel has struck at its enemies and will continue to do so. … Peace results from the credible threat of use of overwhelming force, not from empty words around glossy tables.” —Ben Shapiro
