Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Nicki Minaj, Matt Walsh, Donald Trump, Erick Erickson, Josh Hammer, Victor Davis Hanson, and James Woods.

Truth Bomb

“Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids.” —singer-songwriter Nicki Minaj responding to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s statement that he wants to see trans kids

What Is a Conservative?

“We’re conserving Western civilization. We’re conserving American identity. We’re conserving the sanctity of human life. We’re conserving the family. We’re conserving marriage. … If you agree with me on that, then we’re on the same side as far as I’m concerned.” —Matt Walsh

Belly Laugh of the Day

“I think you could get rid of a couple of your little policies, like men in women’s sports, open borders, transgender for everybody. But other than that, I like what you’re doing.” —Donald Trump

For the Record

“China is neither a friend nor an ally. It is not a trading partner. It is an aggressive nation against whom we are in a cold war. It has compromised our power grids, our telecommunications infrastructure and attempted to wreak havoc on our agricultural products.” —Erick Erickson

“The Chinese Communist Party views the West — particularly the United States — not as a partner but as a rival to be surpassed and supplanted. Beijing’s posture and actions are consistent with those aimed at an adversary in a long, grinding cold war. Washington needs to view Beijing in the same way.” —Josh Hammer

“Europe is only growing more socialist, censorious, globalist, pacifist, multicultural, atheistic, and green. In contrast, the U.S. is undergoing a counter-revolution toward smaller government, fewer regulations, more fossil fuels, an expanding military, less DEI and woke, more secure borders, legal-only immigration, and renewed faith. Only one of these competing solutions will solve the shared crisis of Western civilization.” —Victor Davis Hanson

And Last…

“As long as Republicans act like Congress is a gentlemen’s club, while Democrats act like a street gang, America is lost.” —actor James Woods
