Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Marc Morial, Dylan Mulvaney, Brittney Griner, and more.

The BIG Lies

“Within the constraints of a broken immigration system, we are doing so much.” —Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

“[The] extremism, hate and white supremacy movement has infiltrated mainstream politics. As such, it’s impacting lawmaking. Nearly 1,000 bills, proposals and initiatives have been introduced since 2020 to simply strip away the right to vote.” —National Urban League President Marc Morial

Non Compos Mentis

“New York crime isn’t really out of control.” —New York Times columnist Paul Krugman

“The articles written about me using ‘he’ pronouns and calling me a man over and over again … I feel like that should be illegal. … That’s just bad journalism.” —Dylan Mulvaney

“Everyone deserves the right to play. Everyone deserves the right to … feel safe and not feel like there’s a threat or they can’t be who they are. … I think it’s a crime … to separate someone for any reason. So I definitely will be speaking up against [sports integrity] legislation and those laws that are trying to be passed for sure.” —WNBA star Brittney Griner

“This is a party that says, ‘We believe in parents’ rights.‘ You’re telling me that as a parent … I’m not smart enough to decide if my child and I need to have gender-affirming [surgery]. … You’re telling me your beliefs … and I keep saying, 'What Bible are you reading?’ Because God was really clear!” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

Observations

“Unfortunately, one kind of Planned Parenthood service that has not declined is ‘transitioning’ teenagers, though such services are likely hidden under categories like ‘Other Procedures’ in its report. If Planned Parenthood workers aren’t killing kids, they’re grooming them.” —Nate Jackson

“Large swaths of the modern Left have made the fight for gender ideology and transgenderism their foremost hill to die on precisely because they are so infatuated with their own vogue anthropology and ‘theology’ that they view the other side — the side of sanity — as wholly undeserving of the civility and respect that a normal exchange over public policy might entail.” —Josh Hammer

Re: The Leftmedia

“While I don’t think that anyone is going to be floored that this administration is wanting to make sure their mentally declining figurehead has pre-scripted answers written for him, who this should really humiliate is the media. Imagine being so committed to furthering the agenda of the current regime that you’re willing to cash in your credibility, prostrate your professionalism, and deceive the American public into believing you’re not part of a dog and pony show to prop up a flailing presidency.” —Peter Heck

For the Record

“Almost no one after the election swallowed the notion that Dominion had rigged its voting machines. But millions before the election may have been swayed by the Biden campaign and the media-generated lie that the authentic Biden laptop was part of a Russian intelligence operation. And that lie, unlike the Dominion charge of postelection defamation, might have changed history.” —Victor Davis Hanson

Political Futures

“My advice to Republican primary voters who are justifiably tired of the media and national security professionals lying and suppressing the truth: Don’t renominate a candidate who does the same thing.” —Michael Barone

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“Sudan is in the middle of a brutal civil war. One militant faction just seized Sudan’s National Public Health Laboratory. … An investigative report by Natalie Winters for the War Room discovered that over the years, the Sudanese lab has received financial assistance from the CDC, the Department of Defense, and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health. Why? Why do we keep investing taxpayer funds in bio labs in questionable, unstable countries?” —Gary Bauer

And Last…

“Just as abolitionists sought a United States without a single slave, pro-lifers want a modern America where every preborn baby’s right to life is preserved and where elective abortion isn’t by far the leading cause of death for American children.” —Nate Jackson
