Friday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Nick Fuentes, Donald Trump, John Fetterman, Condoleezza Rice, Larry Elder, Darrell B. Harrison, and more.
Horseshoe Theory
“I’m voting Democrat in 2026 because White people can play both sides too. … The GOP must be purged and burned to the ground in 26. Hostile takeover in 28.” —Nick Fuentes
Cabinet Shakeup
“I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’” —President Donald Trump
Oof
“Kristi Noem finding out the hard way that politics is a Dog SHOOT dog world.” —Jimmy Failla
One of the Good Ones
“As a member of the Homeland Security Committee + Ranking Member of Subcommittee on Border Security: I’m not sure how many fellow Democrats will vote to support our colleague [Markwayne Mullin] as the next DHS Secretary, but I am AYE.” —Sen John Fetterman (D-PA)
For the Record
“Every president since 1950 has launched military operations against foreign governments, without seeking Congress’ permission or a declaration of war.” —Betsy McCaughey
“Iran has been at war with us for at least 47 years. … To say that this regime was not a threat … it’s ahistorical. They have been a threat for a long time.” —former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
“This is about strength over appeasement. Reagan understood this in dealing with the Soviets. Trump applied it here. Trump’s redlines are, in fact, redlines. The result? A regime that once wrote ‘Death to America’ on its missiles faces collapse and, hopefully, an internal uprising to follow that gives the Iranian people a real future without fear or oppression.” —Larry Elder
Re: The Left
“For context, please understand that there is no difference whatsoever between the worldview held by James Talarico and that of Raphael Warnock. As professing Christians, they both subscribe to a liberation theology hermeneutic of Scripture.” —pastor Darrell B. Harrison
“James Talarico is obviously a total wolf in sheep’s clothing. But to left-wingers and journalists, this is what a devout Christian actually looks like. Because they have no experience interacting with real Christians and complete contempt for what Christians actually believe.” —former Deputy Assistant to President Trump Theo Wold
“A candidate for statewide office in Texas claiming God is ‘nonbinary’? That dog won’t hunt.” —Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis
“Abigail Spanberger had a post for the Chinese New Year, Ramadan, and Holi. But had nothing to say about the beginning of Lent. She isn’t doing that by accident.” —Greg Price
Re: The Epstein Files
“I’m only about 100,000 pages into the Epstein files, so these are just my preliminary observations, but clearly the Department of Justice abused its redaction pen. One of my own columns, printed in full, appears in the files, sent from XXXXXXXXX, to XXXXXXXXX, with a cc to XXXXXXXX. Or maybe it was XXXXXXXX — I always get those guys confused.” —Ann Coulter
