Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Hunter Biden, Katie Wilson, Michelle Obama, Jennifer Welch, Jonathan Alpert, JD Vance, Victor Davis Hanson, and more.

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“That attitude that you can make a president or a party unsuccessful, no matter what damage it might do to the country, because it’s good politics — we have to get past that ruinous idea. … We have to figure out a way to stop viewing each other as our enemy.” —Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who led the Russia collusion hoax

Pot Calling the Kettle Black

“There’s no ethics in … someone as horrendously ugly as Miranda Devine — physically and in terms of her ethics.” —Hunter “Crackpipe” Biden

What Could Possible Go Wrong?

“We cannot allow giant grocery chains to stomp all over our communities, close stores at will, and leave behind food deserts.” —Seattle Socialist Mayor-elect Katie Wilson three months ago

Friendly Fire

“Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party — unfortunately, it’s the Republican Party.” —Democrat political pundit Bill Maher

Braying Jenny

“Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern, so when we’re straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. … Braids are for y'all so we can work harder and focus on the work. … Don’t tell me how to wear my hair. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t touch it.” —Michelle Obama

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready [for a woman president]. That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running because you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. You are not. You know, we’ve got a lot of growing up to do, and there’s still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman, and we saw it.” —Michelle Obama

Leftist Projection

“When I see the Riley Gaines of the world … I think you are a walking, talking advertisement on why not to be a Christian. I mean, there’s no empathy. There’s no room that maybe not everybody’s the same.” —podcaster Jennifer Welch

Trump Derangement Syndrome

“I had one patient who said she couldn’t enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered. So this is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” —psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert

For the Record

“The Democrats are doing everything in their withering power to push the Epstein hoax again… Epstein was a democrat, and he is the Democrats’ problem.” —Donald Trump

“Here’s what the Democrats actually accomplished. They caused a lot of stress for our troops. They made our air traffic controllers not get paid. They caused a lot of flight cancellations. They had a lot of people thinking they weren’t going to get their food benefits. All for literally nothing.” —JD Vance

Then and Now

“Three generations ago, a smaller, poorer, but wiser America properly solved its immigration problem at Ellis Island — welcoming in immigrants orderly and legally with health and background screenings. In contrast, during the Biden years, we, in our arrogance and affluence, engaged in a great experiment — or rather misadventure. Never in our history has the U.S. been home to roughly 53 million foreign-born residents.” —Victor Davis Hanson

Belly Laughs of the Day

“My experience with her is if you scratch the surface, you just get more surface.” —Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

“I think his testicles are on back order from China.” —Sen. John Kennedy roasting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
