Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from G.L. Black, Willie Brown, Adam Schiff, Tulsi Gabbard, Armstrong Williams, Thomas Baker, Mark Alexander, Konstantin Kisin, Cal Thomas, and more.

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

“All the things that are sort of, I would say, like, components of DEI work are part of, like, what we do. Even if we don’t always label everything as DEI work.” —Vanderbilt University Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students G.L. Black

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?

“[Kamala Harris] may not want to run for governor of the state of California. … I think it’s going to be difficult for her to win that job.” —former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, whose dalliance with Harris sparked her political career

Spin Doctor

“I think what [Tulsi] Gabbard and her staff are doing is dishonest and misstated.” —Sen. Adam Schiff

Re: The Russia Collusion Hoax

“There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.” —Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard

“We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this. … The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment.” —Tulsi Gabbard

“I’m leaving the criminal charges to the Department of Justice. I am not an attorney, but as I have said previously, when you look at the intent behind creating a fake, manufactured intelligence document that directly contradicts multiple assessments that were created by the intelligence community, the expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described as a years-long coup and the treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our Republic, and an attempt to undermine President Trump’s administration.” —Tulsi Gabbard

“The information Gabbard has released is damning. It provides evidence that a sitting president — Obama — was conspiring with the FBI and the CIA to try to take down a presidential candidate and then a president.” —Laura Hollis

“Let us not pretend this charge is light. A ‘treasonous conspiracy’ suggests not merely malfeasance but a betrayal of the public trust at the highest levels of government. … With Trump back in the White House, the fear among Democrats is palpable. Not because of what Trump might do in the future but because of what he might uncover from the past. This is the nightmare scenario for the Left.” —Armstrong Williams

“Fact is, there is not much new in the Ratcliffe and Gabbard declassified documents except — and it is a BIG EXCEPT — the information has now officially been referred to the DOJ for criminal review, and this is not the DOJ under Biden’s corrupt leadership.” —Mark Alexander

“It’s treason, plain and simple. But exposure, without punishment, doesn’t deter. It emboldens.” —Auron MacIntyre

“Whatever the outcome of the current criminal investigations of Comey and Brennan, they will stand convicted by history as reckless partisans.” —former FBI Special Agent Thomas Baker

“Memo to Congress and the DOJ: Don’t jerk us around on the Russian collusion conspiracy. If you’ve got evidence of criminal wrongdoing, make arrests.” —Mark Alexander

For the Record

“Here is all you need to understand about a New York Times article titled ‘Understanding the Epstein Saga.’ Biden and his corrupt DOJ leadership had all of these files, and not only was there no leak to defame Trump ahead of the 2024 election, but neither Biden nor any of his congressional Demos called for the release of any of these files while he was in office. Hmmm.” —Mark Alexander

America First

“That math worries me. … I don’t want companies to fire 9,000 American workers and then go and say they can’t find workers here in America. That’s a [crap] story.” —JD Vance referencing an action Microsoft had taken

Re: The Next Generation

“A free society doesn’t survive by default. It survives when parents teach their children why it matters and what happens when it’s lost.” —Konstantin Kisin

“High standards must be taught, even imposed. Children, especially, don’t ‘catch’ them as they might catch a cold.” —Cal Thomas

And Last…

“Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” —Ecclesiastes 8:11
