Tuesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Rolling Stone, Gavin Newsom, David Harsanyi, John Kennedy, Tony Perkins, and more.
Delusions of Grandeur
“On the day I left office, I handed Trump the strongest economy in the world. … That’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact.” —former President Joe Biden
Dezinformatsiya
“A Texas GOP candidate has drawn scrutiny after video surfaced of him happily boasting about having a copy of Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf.’” —Rolling Stone (“The Rolling Stone fails to mention that the person in question, Brandon Herrera, mocked the book and its contents at length when he showed it off, [c]alling it ‘dog sh*t’, ‘schizo’ and ‘bad’. He in no way endorsed the book or supported its contents.” —Community Note on X)
“Multiple arrests made after ‘suspicious devices’ found outside Gracie Mansion, home of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, during anti-Islam rally and counterprotest.” —NBC New York describing what was an Islamic terror attack
Re: The Left
“I wanna live in a world where Democrats are more upset about the people trying to bomb us than the people talking about them.” —Jimmy Failla after the Leftmedia desperately tried to cover up an Islamic terror attack in NYC
Demagogue
“The leadership of Iran must go. But that does not justify the President of the United States engaging in an illegal, dangerous war.” —California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, who might want to read up on the War Powers Act before his presidential campaign
For the Record
“Trump now has clear, achievable objectives: Ensure the mullahs don’t get their blood-stained hands on any nukes, end the regime’s ballistic missile capabilities, and destroy the Iranian navy so it can’t threaten world shipping.” —David Harsanyi
Reality Check
“Obama-Biden advisor Susan Rice said that ‘it’s not going to end well’ for businesses that ‘take a knee to Trump.’ Political payback like that happens in countries whose Powerball jackpot is 287 chickens and a goat. It’s not supposed to happen in America.” —Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
How Did We Get Here?
“Citing a case from more than a century ago, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the long-standing precedent that parents — not the state — have the primary authority regarding the upbringing and education of their children. The real question is how our society reached the point where states believe they have the authority to cut parents out of decisions that can permanently shape or, in some cases, end a child’s life.” —Tony Perkins
And Last…
“Tucker [Carlson] has lost his way. … MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.” —President Donald Trump
