Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, Douglas Andrews, and more.

Race Bait

“The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. And I’m not saying this because I’m at a black HBCU. I say it wherever I go.” —Joe Biden

“In the terrorism context, domestic violent extremism is our greatest threat right now. … Regrettably, we have seen a rise in white supremacy.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

The BIG Lies I

“We’ve created 12.7 million jobs — nearly 800,000 new manufacturing jobs. Unemployment is at a 50-year low. Workforce participation is at its highest in 15 years. We’re building an economy that leaves no one behind.” —Joe Biden

“MAGA House Republicans are threatening to default on America’s debts unless we give in to their demands. Their wish list could cut thousands of jobs — including wildland firefighters, National Park rangers, and workers who regulate water quality. It doesn’t work for families.” —Joe Biden

The BIG Lies II

“Our president has led the greatest expansion of lawful pathways ever.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

“We cannot control the movement of people before they reach our border.” —Alejandro Mayorkas

For the Record I

“This neglect of securing the southern border is a disastrous game of Red Rover, except by their very presence, the illegal migrants have shown they are willing to break any and all rules in order to gain access to the U.S. And because there are so few agents actually patrolling the border … there is a high probability that many who are surging to the border will simply disappear into the interior of the United States. Millions already have, and the new illegal migrants know it.” —Emmy Griffin

“There have been over 6.3 million illegal border crossings since Biden took office and over 150,000 illegal encounters for 25 consecutive months. Biden’s ‘plan’ has only ever done one thing — create an unprecedented crisis.” —Tommy Pigott

For the Record II

“AOC and her fellow crusading Green New Dealers in and out of government claim to be the infallible experts of the incredibly complex science of climate change and the great threat it poses to us and the planet. But they really are a bunch of dangerous religious nuts who are armed with a lot of government power they shouldn’t have.” —Michael Reagan

“Cheap and abundant energy is fundamental to a thriving economy. And, clearly, it’s one of the reasons why the Trump economy roared and the Biden economy is once again flirting with recession.” —Douglas Andrews

Food for Thought

“A study show[s] that heavy use of weed accounts for as much as 30% of schizophrenia cases in men in their 20s. … If one heavily uses alcohol, liver and other problems tend to follow. If one heavily uses ice cream, diabetes and weight problems may ensue. If one heavily uses cigarettes, lung cancer could be around the corner. Why would pot be different? … There’s an argument to be made that banning stuff like pot and alcohol isn’t effective. Democrats might learn that lesson on guns. But Americans ought to at least be aware of the addictive and detrimental effects of a supposedly ‘safe’ drug like marijuana. There is, after all, a societal cost, as well as a fiscal one in a nation where taxpayers cover so much of the healthcare tab.” —Nate Jackson

And Last…

“Jordan Neely’s death is tragic, but it wasn’t the fault of the man who took his life. What are the long-term ramifications? Can this young man get a fair trial in New York City? And if he does, will The Mob rule as it did in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death? We can only watch and wait.” —Douglas Andrews

“As the horror stories continue to pour out of transgender facilities across the country, it’s clear that conservatives aren’t the ones victimizing the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society. No matter what the so-called mainstream media have to say, those of us on the Right are these children’s defenders and protectors. We’re the ones telling them the truth.” —Brian Mark Weber

“You guys in the press, this is easy pickings. This is Pulitzer Prize stuff.” —Congressman Byron Donald (R-FL) on the large volume of evidence pointing to Joe Biden’s corruption when he was VP
