Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Jen Psaki, Donald Trump, and more.

Insight: “The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is … legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay. … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.” —Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)

Grand delusions: “I know parents out there are anxiously waiting for a vaccine for children ages five to eleven. The good news is the FDA and outside experts from the CDC are set to make this determination as to whether the vaccine will be authorized for that age range in the next few weeks. … Families will be able to sleep easier at night knowing their kids are protected.” —President Joe Biden

Then let go of the mandate: “Let’s be clear — vaccination requirements should not be another issue that divides us.” —Joe Biden

Clown world: “If you are fully vaccinated against Covid the next step to improve your immunity may be to actually catch the virus.” —Australia’s The Courier-Mail

The BIG Lie I: “We all understand the American people are not looking at cost-to-cost comparisons from this year to two years ago; they’re looking at cost-to-cost comparisons to their checkbooks from eight months ago or 12 months ago. And even though, factually, if you look back to two years ago, things may be comparative, that’s not how people look at things.” —White House Press Secretary Spin Doctor Jen Psaki

The BIG Lie II: “The American people are, of course, impacted by rising prices of gas in some parts of the country — not all.” —Jen Psaki

The BIG Lie III: “Most of the economic problems we’re facing (inflation, supply chains, etc.) are high class problems. We wouldn’t have had them if the unemployment rate was still 10 percent. We would instead have had a much worse problem.” —Jason Furman, former chairman of Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers (“According to this administration, we must choose between massive inflation, shipping bottlenecks, and huge numbers of Americans dropping out of the workforce…or 10% unemployment. Good midterm messaging there.” —Ben Shapiro)

Who’d a thunk it? “When people ask me, ‘If you ruled the world, what one thing would you do?’ — I think about that a lot.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Non compos mentis: “If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ‘22 and '24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do.” —Donald Trump, whose similar rhetoric cost Republicans two Georgia Senate seats

And last… “It kind of blows my mind that the Biden Administration is about to start monitoring all of our bank accounts and somehow this isn’t a major topic of conversation even on the right. The vaccine mandates are bad. This is worse. A lot worse.” —Matt Walsh
