Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Mike Pompeo, Joe Biden, The New York Times, and more.

Insight: “The news is like a ship. If you take hands off the wheel, it pulls hard to the left.” —Roger Ailes (1940-2017)

Upright: “If we don’t act now, ultimately, the [Chinese Communist Party] will erode our freedoms and subvert the rules-based order free societies have built. If we bend the knee now, our children’s children may be at the mercy of the CCP, whose actions are the primary challenge to the free world. If the free world doesn’t change Communist China, Communist China will change us. There can be no return to past practices just because they’re comfortable or convenient.” —Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Friendly fire: “I really wish Joe Biden would shut the eff up forever and continue to act like he’s starring in the movie ‘A Quiet Place’ because as soon as he opens his mouth and makes noise, he gets us all killed, OK?” —"The Breakfast Club" radio host Charlamagne tha God

That’s racist: “People don’t make a distinction, as you well know, from a South Korean and someone from Beijing. They make no distinction. It’s Asian.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lie, Part I: “This president is going to try to indirectly steal the election by arguing that mail-in ballots don’t work. They’re not real. They’re not fair.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lie, Part II: “As a matter of fact, it has been suggested that [dispatching federal agents] is a trial run of the president of the United States who may be organizing to not accept what happens when we have the election if he’s not elected.” —Rep. Maxine Waters

Race bait: “To understand what’s wrong with our public education system, you have to look at what’s arguably the most powerful force in our schools: White parents.” —The New York Times

Non compos mentis: “One of the gentleman’s arguments was that China hid the true risk of the virus from the American people, and yes, that is terrible that China did that. It’s not actually their job to warn the American people. It’s the president’s job to warn the American people.” —Rep. Adam Smith

And last… “It’s been instructive watching many of the same characters who cheer on governors who take undemocratic emergency powers and shut down houses of worship without the consent of the people … act as if policing portends the end of democracy.” —David Harsanyi
