Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Nicolle Wallace, Rashida Tlaib, Nate Jackson, Samuel Alito, and more.

Non Compos Mentis

“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide.” —MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace commenting on DJ Daniel being honored in Donald Trump’s address to Congress

“For the record — and this is disgusting — the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who’s thus far survived pediatric cancer – as if the president had something to do with that.” —MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow

Race Bait

“I’m at the Canadian border in Detroit. …. The majority of the people coming down undocumented is Canadian. But guess what? It’s still the brown folks that are overwhelmingly … the ones being targeted, detained, and deported.” —Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

The War on Women

“Many Democrats showed up [to Trump’s speech] wearing pink to show that they ‘support women.’ The irony, of course, is that not a single Senate Democrat voted on Monday to advance a bill banning men from women’s sports. Who wants to tell them that wearing pink doesn’t spare women the indignity and injury of playing sports against men pretending to be women?” —Nate Jackson

Upright

“Payton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls’ team or they will lose all federal funding.” —Donald Trump speaking to Peyton McNabb, a high school volleyball player severely injured by a “transgender” player

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“[Jeff] Bezos, founder of Amazon, has owned The Washington Post since 2013. If his commitment to free markets is so deep, so strong, why has it taken him more than 10 years to shake things up at this deeply entrenched left-wing megaphone?” —Star Parker

Re: The Left

“Europe is kind of like a big museum. Tourist money keeps it going, but there’s so little growth that, per person, America’s poorest state (Mississippi) is now richer than most European countries. The reason is the very same policies ignorant Americans want to copy — like higher taxes on the rich.” —John Stossel

“The Democrats are the party of Government Waste, and the party that DOES NOT WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING CHRONIC DISEASE FOR OUR CHILDREN!” —Rob Schneider

“Dems won’t clap for a little boy becoming a cop but they’d cheer if he became a girl. What a bunch of weirdo losers.” —Jimmy Failla

For the Record

“When you hear the demagogues oppose Medicaid ‘cuts,’ remember that not making these changes is what is dangerous to you — your job security and your ability to afford necessities and even to buy a home.” —Betsy McCaughey

“Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned.” —Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito writing the dissent in Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition

And Last

“We have ended weaponized government, where, as an example, a sitting President is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me. How did that work out?” —Donald Trump
