Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Victor Joecks, Matt Margolis, Donald Trump, and more.

The BIG lie

“The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate.” —disgraced former FBI Director Andrew McCabe

For the Record

“Eternal life should be the subject of sermons by preachers and topics in seminary classrooms, not government agencies and programs.” —Cal Thomas

“The melting pot isn’t just a history-book fantasy. It is real. The rapid increase in interracial and intercultural marriages is making racial distinctions almost obsolete.” —Stephen Moore

“Hunter Biden’s business was selling access to daddy. The real crook here is Joe Biden. The Biden family, they made tens of millions of dollars selling favors from Joe Biden. Listen, nobody pays Hunter Biden. Nobody pays a crack head money when he has no marketable services. He was not selling anything other than daddy. When Joe Biden entered this pardon, it is about protecting his own rear end” —Ted Cruz

“If the differences between men and women were imposed by society, it’d be much less concerning to have women in combat roles. They aren’t.” —Victor Joecks

Political Futures

“Months ago, Democrats treated Biden like a hero — the second coming of George Washington. He was selfless, patriotic, and the most consequential modern president, they said. Clearly, after being forced out of the 2024 presidential race by his own party, the surge in political capital he got is all but gone. They no longer have to pretend that Biden was all these great things. The Teflon is gone. It’s open season on this lame duck.” —Matt Margolis

“We’ll do every possible regulation we can get to. We’ll use it on everything possible that’s a bad regulation. It’s a wonderful tool for undoing the bureaucratic excess of the Biden administration.” —Senator Rand Paul on using the little-used Congressional Review Act

Deportation Flashback

“I think we’ve got to have tough conditions. Tell people to come out of the shadows, and if they’ve committed a crime, deport them. No questions asked. They’re gone.” —Hillary Clinton, March 2008 campaign speech

Good Catholic

“For the second year in a row, Biden issued a Thanksgiving proclamation that totally left out God and, thus, the entire history of our country.” —Gary Bauer

Top Zinger

“If Canada can’t survive without ripping off the U.S., they’re free to join America as our 51st state.” —Donald Trump, discussing our nation’s trade deficit with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago

And Last

“I have never seen language like this in a pardon document, that purports to pardon offenses that have not apparently even been charged, with the exception of the Nixon pardon.” —U.S. pardon attorney Margaret Love
