Monday Short Cuts

The Gipper: “Some may try and tell us that this is the end of an era. But what they overlook is that in America, every day is a new beginning and every sunset is merely the latest milestone on a voyage that never ends. For this is the land that has never become but is always in the act of becoming.”

Upright: “The irony is that the historic reduction of U.S. crime since the 1990s was predicated on police singling out African-Americans — for protection. Using victims’ crime reports, cops focused on violent hot spots; since black Americans are disproportionately the victims of crime, just as blacks are disproportionately its perpetrators, effective policing was heaviest in minority neighborhoods. The cops were there because they believe that black lives matter.” —Heather Mac Donald

Non Compos Mentis: “If there are 10 people who have been accused [of campus rape], and under a reasonable likelihood standard maybe one or two did it, it seems better to get rid of all 10 people.” —Rep. Jared Polis

Alpha Jackass: “Many of [my condescending] comments are made as an entertainer… [A]s everybody said, as an entertainer, it’s a much different ballgame.” —Donald Trump (“If Trump wants to be judged as an entertainer … maybe he should run for the job of entertainer, not President of the United States.” —Jim Geraghty)

Lacking humility: “I fully think apologizing’s a great thing, but you have to be wrong. … I will absolutely apologize sometime in the hopefully distant future if I’m ever wrong.” —Donald Trump

Demo-gogues: “The Republicans did not win last November. The Democrats lost because a lot of their supporters are demoralized. I think we can strike an excitement in those groups of people.” —Bernie Sanders

And last… “John Kerry said that the nuclear deal is safe, since ‘Iran could never get away with such a deception.’ I see… So, anyone ever find the data on Lois Lerner’s hard drive?” —Fred Thompson
