Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Josh Hammer, Neil Patel, Brian Mark Weber, and more.

Re: Foreign Policy

“What is the U.S.‘s long-term plan to deal with Russia? It is unclear at best whether anyone in a foreign policy decision-making capacity has given a second of thought to what U.S.-Russian relations might possibly look like when this war is finally over. At this rate, and absent a course correction toward de-escalation and direct mediated negotiation between the warring parties, Moscow will loathe America and Europe after the conflict even more than they did prior to the conflict’s onset.” —Josh Hammer

“For anyone interested most in long-term peace and security and in making sure the situation doesn’t lead to World War III, figuring out a plausible and acceptable end to the shooting seems pretty important. Yet this topic has somehow been off-limits in the national discussion. Just asking it will get you accused of supporting Putin. You don’t have to be a Putin sympathizer to want to protect American kids from fighting Russia or to care about the ultimate nightmare of driving Russia and China closer together.” —Neil Patel

Re: The Left

“We’ve all heard of the Left’s DEI agenda by now, but we might argue it’s better to organize those leftist buzzwords this way — Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity — because it makes the acronym DIE. Diversity, equity, and inclusion as historically understood could all be laudable goals as part of a bigger picture in a plural society such as our own. But each of those perfectly serviceable English words has been grossly distorted by 'progressives’ who are never done trying to redefine and undermine our national culture. Indeed, they seem to want that culture to die so their preferred utopia can rise in its place.” —Nate Jackson

“Polls are one way to take the pulse of the electorate, but they often tell us more about the narrative the Leftmedia is trying to create than what’s really on the minds of our fellow citizens. In the end, polls should be taken with a grain of salt and a pound of skepticism.” —Brian Mark Weber

“When burning our flag is ‘protected speech,’ and a banner of sexual fanaticism is untouchable, we’ve passed the point of absurdity as a nation. And yet, these are the lessons our children have been taught: you can kneel for the national anthem but not refuse to wear a rainbow.” —Tony Perkins

The BIG Lies

“Inflation Reduction Act will be the most transformative bill that we’ve ever had.” —Senator Joe Manchin

“A black and a latino steal a pack of cigarettes and they’re in jail for years.” —"The View" co-host Ana Navarro

Projection

“We’re also finding out now that one of the outlets has decided that they will put things on that they know to be false in order to increase their ratings.” —Joe Biden
