Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Gary Bauer, Dennis Prager, Douglas Andrews, and more.

For the Record

“The fall of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is quite a morality tale. It was one of the wokest banks in America. It worshipped at the altar of the left-wing worldview. … Last year, the bank made a $5 billion commitment to ‘support a healthier planet,’ while running an unhealthy bank. And over the past few weeks, the bank’s CEO managed to sell $3.6 million worth of shares before it went bankrupt. Just hours before government regulators seized control of the bank, some employees received $12,000 bonuses, while managers got $140,000 bonuses for their ‘great work.’ By the way, $140,000 is the annual salary for three families living in East Palestine, Ohio. And notice the speed with which the Biden Administration reacted to the SVB crisis. The people of East Palestine have had to beg for help, but not the leftists in Silicon Valley.” —Gary Bauer

“Joe Biden is bailing out his too-big-to-fail wealthy investor friends in Big Tech and Big Climate. If you understand that, you get the big picture with his rescue of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank in recent days. Big Tech firms not only give Democrats an awful lot of money, but they stand as the Praetorian Guard for the flow of information.” —Nate Jackson

“Beginning in the second half of the 20th century, people in nearly every white-collar profession ceased finding their work inherently meaningful. So, they sought to use their profession to change the world. … That’s why the people running the Silicon Valley Bank were more interested in LGBTQ activism than in making money for its investors and protecting the money of its depositors. The former is way more meaningful.” —Dennis Prager

Political Futures

“The Biden administration has authorized a major oil drilling project in northern Alaska, and environmental groups aren’t happy about it. They say the president isn’t living up to his campaign promises and his climate commitments. It’s unlikely, though, that Biden has simply decided to stick it to his party’s ‘green’ wing. Instead, he may sense a bipartisan win with an election year looming, especially given his abysmal record on energy.” —Douglas Andrews

Dezinformatsiya

“MSNBC has a very high standard of what is factual. You have to go through a process before you report things on air to make sure they are factual and you have sources.” —former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki

Non Compos Mentis

“For those of you that didn’t notice, Florida was doing great long before Ron DeSanctus got there. … Sunshine and ocean are very alluring. It’s no too hard to work with those factors.” —Donald Trump

“[Biden] is absolutely a magnificent leader. He is younger than I am … so I don’t know what the problem is.” —Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi

Hot Air

“You can’t just go after China with a cudgel. You have to say: ‘We have to live on this planet together. How can we work together to save the planet from climate change?’” —Nancy Pelosi

“Mother Nature let her wrath be seen over the last two years. … If we don’t keep the temperature from going above 1.5 degrees Celsius, raised, then we’re in real trouble. That whole generation [18- to 35-year-olds] is damned. I mean, that’s not hyperbole.” —Joe Biden

“We can do solar, we can do wind cheaper than we can do fossil fuels.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lies

“We’ve made strong economic progress in the past two years.” —Joe Biden (“When Biden took office, inflation was at 1.4% and gas was $2.39/gal. Today, inflation is at 6.[0]% and gas is $3.47/gal.” —RNC)

“I can remember exactly when my epiphany [on supporting same-sex marriage] was. … I was a senior in high school. And my dad was dropping me off and [I] remember [I was] about to get out of the car and I looked to my right and two well-dressed men in suits kissed each other.” —Joe Biden (“He had that epiphany in high school and then voted for the Defense of Marriage Act a few decades later.” —Greg Price)

Zeitgeist

“What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. I mean, it’s just terrible what they’re doing. It’s not like, you know, a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I want to become a man’ or ‘I want to become a woman’ or ‘I want to change.’ … We make sure we pass legislation like we passed on same-sex marriage. You mess with that, you’re breaking the law, and you’re going to be held accountable.” —Joe Biden

And Last…

“On the most recent International Women’s Day, the ‘progress’ of women in America was on full display as we watched First Lady Jill Biden present the Woman of Courage award to a biological male. Perhaps by next year we’ll be celebrating International Dress-Wearers Day or International Estrogen-Containers Day. I can’t wait.” —Samantha Koch
