Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Byron Donalds, Betsy McCaughey, John Kirby, and more.

For the Record

“There is rarely accountability in the political class for devastating financial mismanagement. Worse, many politicos have figured out that there’s a successful career to be built in appearing to ride to the rescue during crises they created.” —Nate Jackson

“Here’s a grim but telling stat to chew on, courtesy of a new paper published by the Crime Prevention Research Center’s John Lott: There are 3,007 counties in these United States, but a stunning 56% of our nation’s murders occur in just 2% of those counties — counties that contain cities like Philly, New York City, LA, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, DC, Dallas, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Houston, and the like. Care to guess which political party runs each of those cities?” —Douglas Andrews

“I love Trump. Like, as a person, I think Trump is funny and insightful.” —Tucker Carlson cleaning up after his “I hate him passionately” text became public

Re: The Village Academies

“If public education wasn’t the unionized outfit that it is, the Democrats wouldn’t care. They would want as much competition as possible. But if you give parents the ability to make purchasing decisions, they might choose an institution that’s not unionized. That’s why the teachers union[s] and the school districts and the Democrats have fought charter schools every step of the way.” —Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL)

“The backlash against extreme sex ed is exploding. Proponents insist they just want to provide information. Nonsense. When lessons include more than biology, someone’s values are being imposed. Comprehensive sex education is an ideology or religion, stressing gender fluidity, sexual experimentation and pleasure seeking, while repudiating parents’ roles and traditional values.” —Betsy McCaughey

“When Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child that was code for what they really believe, which is that it takes Big Government to indoctrinate a child.” —Gary Bauer

Race Bait Brew

“Coffee is in fact horribly racist, and there’s data to back it up. Every facet of the coffee industry, in fact, is rooted in racism. From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from Black and Brown People to the present-day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy, whites have been able to drink the fruits of our labor and our culture with impunity.” —an AFRU.com article titled, “Is coffee racist? How drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy”

Lack of Self-Awareness

“The greatness of a nation isn’t just measured by the strength of its army, the vastness of its geography, or the size of its economy. It’s also measured in the vitality of its culture. A democratic culture — forged in the ability to speak and think freely.” —Joe Biden, who leads the party of censorship and the culture of death

Zeitgeist

“[LGBTQ+ rights are] a core part of our foreign policy.” —National Security Council spokesman John Kirby

And Last…

“There is zero reason why the trans flag should appear on any government building. Zero.” —Sydney Watson
