Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Victor Davis Hanson, Mark Levin, Chuck Schumer, and more.

Insight: “All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.” —Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945)

Observations: “Once a cultural revolution gets going, there can be no contextualization of the past, no allowance for human frailty, no consideration of weighing evil vs. good. Eventually, the architects of cultural upheavals always make two miscalculations. One, they presume that destroying things will never apply to themselves, given their loud virtue signaling. Two, if they are fingered by the mob, they assume they can somehow use their clout and influence to win exemption. In other words, once cultural revolutions turn anarchic and eat their own, they lose support. When quiet sympathizers conclude that they too may be targeted, to survive they turn on their former icons.” —Victor Davis Hanson

The bottom line: “Gender identity is not tied to biological sex. Trans activists will say as much. To expand the term, Gorsuch emptied the term of any stable meaning. It is circuitous nonsense and a metaphysical bait and switch. He may not have intended this, but it’s what he did.” —Andrew T. Walker

The sad truth: “This week the Supreme Court did more damage to the rule of law and the Constitution than the rioters in the streets.” —Mark Levin

For the record: “Stop lecturing me. [Democrats] had eight years under President Obama to do the things in the Justice and Policing Act — and 90% of it you never brought up.” —Senator Lindsey Graham

Demo-gogues: “Eight years ago this week, we protected young people who were raised as part of our American family from deportation. Today, I’m happy for them, their families, and all of us. We may look different and come from everywhere, but what makes us American are our shared ideals and now to stand up for those ideals, we have to move forward and elect @JoeBiden and a Democratic Congress that does its job, protects DREAMers, and finally creates a system that’s truly worthy of this nation of immigrants once and for all.” —Barack Obama

Grand delusions: “The Supreme Court — who would’ve thought would have so many good decisions in one week?” —Chuck Schumer

Non compos mentis: “You ought to marry into a family of 5 or more sisters… You know why that’s the reason? One of them always loves ya.” —Joe Biden

And last… “For the last 60 years, American liberals have promised African Americans that their policies would make things better. They were wrong and their policies have failed miserably. That’s why the Left has to spread hatred and division. And that’s why they’re lying about this country and its history. They have nothing positive to offer today. Their only hope is to persuade Americans to give up and turn on each other.” —Laura Ingraham
