Thursday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joy Reid, James Comer, Mike Johnson, Ian Haworth, Allen West, Star Parker, Daniel McCarthy, Nicki Minaj, and more.
Re: The Gender Cult
“If I saw a penis in the ladies’ locker room, I would freak out too.” —Joy Reid admitting that perhaps “trans women” aren’t women after all
Friendly Fire
“What use is it to win an election at all costs — even your own integrity — if, in that process, you’re destroying Americans’ confidence in government?” —Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) on Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-IL) undemocratically choosing his successor
For the Record
“Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries… So Hakeem Jeffries’s campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein.” —Rep. James Comer (R-KY)
“The truth is, the biggest proponents of this discharge petition were never actually interested in transparency or ensuring justice or protecting victims of this unspeakable tragedy, the Epstein evils. And how do we know that? Because the Democrats had every one of the Epstein files in their possession for the four long years of the Biden Administration. The Biden Department of Justice had the files the entire time, and not a single one of the people who were so loud and animated right now ever said anything about it for all those four years.” —House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)
Socialist Takeover
“[Zohran] Mamdani isn’t waiting. He’s building, he’s embedding, he’s institutionalizing his anti-American worldview, through a deliberate, generational effort to seize the institutions that define our cities, states or our nation in order to remake them in a way that will long outlast any single elected official.” —Ian Haworth
Re: The Left
“The siren song of the welfare state culture is [that] the problem does not lie with individual behavior but getting others to foot the bill.” —Star Parker
“If there is one thing that the 40+ days of the Democrat shutdown evidenced, it is that inflicting hurt and pain on the American people is a modus operandi for the party of mean girls and weak, petulant boys.” —Allen West
“Mrs. Obama complained in an interview with Stephen Colbert that the country carried this false impression that she was an ‘angry, bitter black woman.’ Fact check: She often sounds angry and bitter, and like she’s making a face at the white people.” —Tim Graham
Political Futures
“What came within a hair’s breadth of winning a majority of Hispanics for the Republican presidential ticket last year wasn’t running a Hispanic candidate. It was running a candidate who stood firmly for both immigration restriction and working-class opportunity — Donald Trump.” —Daniel McCarthy
And Last…
“Churches have been burned, families have been torn apart, and entire communities live in fear constantly simply because of how they pray. Sadly, this problem is not only a growing problem in Nigeria but also in so many other countries across the world, and it demands urgent action.” —singer-songwriter Nicki Minaj speaking to the UN
