Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Scott Walker, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and more.

Insight: “The ruling class has the schools and press under its thumb. This enables it to sway the emotions of the masses.” —Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“Liberals all over the country denounce people they disagree with as racists. Yet, they promote a curriculum that tells students there is something wrong with them based on their race. Many are even segregating people based on the color of their skin. In the past, that was called racism. Today, it has fancy names like ‘Critical Race Theory.’ Many in the sports and entertainment industry encouraged boycotts of South Africa years ago because of Apartheid. Today, many in these same industries excuse the actions of the Chinese Communist Party that imprison and abuse religious and ethnic minorities. All of this goes back to the simple statement that if not for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.” —former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

“Biden fomented this and now he’s alienated us. … As a border town county judge … I will tell you right now that [the crisis] is true, it’s happening … and it’s a sad situation [of which] President Biden needs to take ownership. … Today, he has an opportunity to show the world what he is and who he is. And unfortunately, he hasn’t done that.” —Webb County, Texas, Democrat Judge Tano Tijerina

“I consider Joe Biden a friend. But he’s absolutely wrong and he needs to apologize to the American people for saying what he said. And here’s why. He’s somebody who’s been very outspoken about being against autocrats and dictators. But what he essentially did was act as judge, jury, and executioner for these [immigration] agents on horseback.” —Tulsi Gabbard

The BIG Lie I: “It was horrible what you saw — to see people treated like they did, horses really running over people being strapped. It’s outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation underway now, and there will be consequences. There will be consequences. It’s an embarrassment. It’s beyond an embarrassment. It’s dangerous. It’s wrong. It sends the wrong message around the world. It sends the wrong message at home. It’s simply not who we are.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lie II: “Human beings should not be treated that way and as we all know it also evoked images of some of the worst moments of our history where that kind of behavior has been used against the indigenous people of our country, has been used against African Americans during times of slavery.” —Kamala Harris

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil: “I don’t think it’s an issue of wanting to go; I think it’s an issue of what’s most constructive to address what we see as a challenging situation at the border and a broken immigration system.” —White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when asked, “Why doesn’t [Biden] want to go [to the border]?”

Gaslighting: “There are a lot of Republicans out there giving speeches about how outraged they are about the situation at the border, not many who are putting forward solutions or steps that we could take. So, we’re a little tired of the speeches. We’d like to partner on solutions and working together to address this problem that has not been partisan in the past.” —Jen Psaki

Braying jenny: “We cannot only be talking about Israel’s need for safety at a time when Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system and are dying from what Human Rights Watch has said are war crimes.” —anti-Semitic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (Friendly fire: “I cannot allow one of my colleagues to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives and label the Jewish democratic state of Israel an apartheid state. I reject it.” —Democrat Congressman Ted Deutch)

D'oh! “I’m tired of trickle down. Trillionaires and billionaires are doing very, very well.” —Joe Biden

Spendapalooza I: “This is about … what’s in the bill. For children, what’s in the bill: universal pre‑K, child care, Child Tax Credit, family and medical leave for their families, protecting the planet for them. It’s about specific legislation. … It’s about values, not dollars.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Spendapalooza II: “Let’s not talk about numbers and dollars.” —Nancy Pelosi

Non compos mentis: “It’s none of our business how other people choose the size and timing of their families. [San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone] and I have a disagreement about who should decide this. I believe that God has given us a free will to honor our responsibilities.” —Nancy Pelosi

And last… “We should have left our guns for the Australians, not the Taliban.” —Kevin Sorbo
