Thursday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Jared Bernstein, NBC News, and more.
Non Compos Mentis
“[Vladimir Putin is] clearly losing the war in Iraq.” —Joe Biden
The BIG Lies
“If you actually ask people about the components of Bidenomics specifically, you get poll numbers that are north of 70%, which in this partisan world is kind of unheard of.” —Council of Economic Advisers Chair Jared Bernstein
“My Administration has created more jobs in two years than any previous administration has created in the first four years. It’s no accident. It means our economic plan is working and this is only the beginning.” —Joe Biden
“Over 13 million new jobs created. More Americans are working than ever. Record number of small business applications. Bidenomics is growing our economy.” —Joe Biden
For the Record
“Joe Biden is perhaps the most substantiated liar over the past 50 years of anyone in public service. I witnessed it firsthand in the Senate. There is no subject too small he isn’t willing to lie about.” —Brett Tolman
Yellow Journalism
“The ‘coming for your children’ chant has been used for years at Pride events, according to longtime march attendees and gay rights activists, who said it’s one of many provocative expressions used to regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people.” —NBC News
Re: The Left
“California Democrats are moving a bill through their legislature to take custody of children from parents who don’t ‘affirm’ their gender. Michigan Democrats are moving a bill to put people in prison for five years if they ‘feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened’ by their words. New Mexico and Minnesota passed laws that decriminalized killing a baby born from a botched abortion. This is what happens when Democrats take control.” —Greg Price
“For a crowd that wants the government to stay out of our bedrooms the Democrats are pretty fired up to have the government in our kitchens, our garages, and our pizza parlors.” —Jimmy Failla
Political Futures
“The breakdown in values in which marriage, family and children flourish does not bode well for our future. Republican candidates need to provide clarity to primary voters on where they stand on the full range of social issues — not just specifics on abortion. All these issues together comprise the culture of life. The upcoming Republican debates … should be used as a platform to get clarity from candidates on all these issues, and all candidates, including Trump should participate.” —Star Parker
And Last…
“We already know that ‘transgender’ youth are confronting multiple mental health issues. In what other psychological situation would you ‘affirm’ someone’s delusions? Why on earth would you compound that with lifelong, severe physical complications? No doctor would ever agree to perform gastric bypass surgery on a young girl who weighs 90 pounds but insists she’s fat. … It’s being used as a battering ram to destroy parental rights, to attack religious liberty and to undermine science — all with the goal of advancing a neo-Marxist, nihilistic agenda.” —Gary Bauer
