Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Antony Blinken, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ben Shapiro, Larry Elder, and more.

Spin Doctor

“Even the U.S. government’s most pessimistic assessments did not anticipate that the Afghan government and security forces would collapse so rapidly in the face of Taliban advances.” —Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who’s either lying or revealing how pathetic government “assessments” were

The BIG Lie

“Our alliances, our partnerships, are stronger today than they have been in a generation.” —Antony Blinken

Braying Jenny

“This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that ppl interpret and feel & experience denied claims as an act of violence.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the murder of Brian Thompson

For the Record

“Your premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums went up while your coverage got worse. Obama’s signature legislation created a healthcare system that enriched executives like [UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian] Thompson while leaving ordinary Americans strapped with skyrocketing costs and limited options. While [Luigi] Mangione’s crime is inexcusable, it’s impossible to ignore that he is a symptom of a societal failure rooted in the flawed foundation of Obamacare.” —Matt Margolis

“If we get nothing else out of this poor man’s murder, can we all finally admit that Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster and everything Democrats said about it was a big fat lie? Putting a bullet in an insurance executive won’t do anything to change that. Only putting a bullet in Obamacare and regulating health insurance like we regulate pet insurance will work.” —Ann Coulter

“The inevitable trajectory of universal health care is shortages and rationing. The inevitable trajectory of legalized assisted suicide is widespread death. The two in tandem present a dystopian future. … Leftists like [Taylor] Lorenz are celebrating the killing of [Brian] Thompson because the company he ran did not, in their opinion, pay for enough of their fellow citizens’ health care. But if she and others get their wish, there will be much more killing — this time, of their fellow citizens in the name of ‘health care.’” —Laura Hollis

“The answer to flawed policy is better policy. But if you wish to see the American system torn down from within, you’re better off advocating bloodlust and murder. And unfortunately, there are an awful lot of Americans who seem willing to tear down the American system itself rather than attempting to discuss rational solutions to intransigent problems.” —Ben Shapiro

“If murder of individuals is justified by dissatisfaction with the system, we no longer live in a republic.” —Ben Shapiro

Sad, but True

“[Daniel] Penny was attacked by a maniacal DA, Alvin Bragg, for one reason: he was a white man. The useful idiots of BLM never care about black lives unless they can be leveraged for the leftist agenda…they did not give a damn about Jordan Neely until he became a vehicle for their insanity.” —Allen West

“If Penny were black, there would have been no charges. If Neely were white, there would have been no charges. If both were black, or both were white, there would have been no charges.” —Larry Elder

And Last…

“Trump has invited Xi Jinping to his inauguration, which is only fair considering the guy ran our country the past 4 years.” —Jimmy Failla
