Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Heather Graham, Chuck Todd, Rich Lowry, Tom Homan, and more.

Village Idiot

“I would say 80% of the time I feel glad I don’t have kids, and I feel free and really good about it. … I do think it’s awesome now that more women are expressing their desire to not have kids.” —actress Heather Graham

Denialism

“This is not a media failure. This is a failure of the Democratic Party.” —Chuck Todd regarding the Leftmedia’s cover-up of brain-dead Joe Biden

Demagogues

“The Trump team has tried to go on a firing spree at the IRS, targeting staff who go after wealthy people dodging their taxes. … You don’t save money by firing the people who save money.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren

“Only 11% of Americans feel better off since the election.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Leftist Lunacy

“There are but two parties in America right now — patriots and traitors.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries hilariously asserting Democrats are patriots

Re: The Left

“The America our Founding Fathers fought and died for was built on ordered liberty under God. That America has provided more freedom and opportunity to more people than any nation on earth. The Left wants to erase all of that and replace it with a country built on Marxist ideas.” —Gary Bauer

For the Record

“I worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. Every president I ever worked for took more [border] security seriously. Because you can’t have national security if you don’t have strong border security… Joe Biden was the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured the border on purpose. That’s just a fact.” —Border Czar Tom Homan

“Here we are 100 days in, and we have the lowest border crossings in American history. … We went from an open border to a sealed border. That surely ranks as not only one of the greatest achievements of this president but any president.” —Stephen Miller

“Make sure you understand this: The legal controversy is over which country Abrego Garcia was deported to, but the U.S. government had every right to deport him.” —Victor Joecks

Political Futures

“I think it’s bad that Trump basically nuked the conservatives in the Canadian election, but it’s also pretty pathetic that comments from a foreign leader would swing their election that much.” —Frank J. Fleming

Right Idea, Wrong Prescription

“President Trump’s suggestion that $5,000 payments would help produce more children reduces the value of a child to materialistic levels. An appeal made on the level of more important things … might work better, producing not only more babies, but even good parents and a healthier society.” —Cal Thomas

And Last…

“Friendly reminder that it your poll said Trump CAN’T WIN nobody cares what you say about his popularity 100 days after he DID” —Jimmy Failla
