Friday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Tim Walz, Seamus Coughlin, Mark Hemingway, Erick Erickson, Gary Bauer, Cal Thomas, and more.
Theater of the Absurd
“Let’s be very, very clear: This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.” —Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz
Moving the Goalposts
“‘She didn’t hit him with her car.’ ‘Ok she did but he wasn’t injured.’ ‘Ok he was injured but he didn’t say ow.’” — FreedomToons’s Seamus Coughlin on the evolving narrative around agitator Renee Good and ICE Agent Jonathan Ross
For the Record
“This can’t be said enough. If ICE is causing tension in communities, that could largely be addressed by cooperation with local law enforcement. But local law enforcement isn’t allowed to cooperate because the goal is not reduced violence — it’s ending all immigration enforcement.” —Mark Hemingway
“What we are witnessing is not spontaneous civic unrest. It is a sustained strategy of division, enabled by progressive activism untethered from accountability and amplified by legacy and social media ecosystems that reward outrage over truth.” —Armstrong Williams
Sad, but True
“Could someone please explain to the Iranian regime that there is a place called Minnesota? They could flee Iran, take up residence in Minneapolis, open child day care centers, and make not just more money from American taxpayers than they ever made in Iran, but could also have the local government hide them from Trump. It’s a pretty sweet deal.” —Erick Erickson
Double Standards
“Here’s another amazing display of left-wing hypocrisy: Democrats and their radical allies are filing a lawsuit demanding their states’ rights against federal immigration enforcement. At the same time they were in court Tuesday demanding that states’ rights be struck down when it comes to men in women’s sports!” —Gary Bauer
Upright
“Changing words to make behavior and identity seem more acceptable can change some minds. But it doesn’t change reality. Men do not belong in women’s sports. The [Supreme] Court should make that case.” —Cal Thomas
And Last…
“PRO TIP: Men CAN’T get pregnant and any Doctor who tells you they CAN probably studied medicine at the Quality LEARING Center.” —satirist Jimmy Failla
