Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Rosa DeLauro, Gilbert Arenas, Mike Pompeo, and more.

Theater of the Absurd

“I am a Catholic — baptized, raised, and confirmed. The fundamental tenets of my faith compel me to defend a women’s right to access abortion. I am proudly part of the faithful large majority of US Catholics who support legal protections for abortion access.” —Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day

“The left is missing the crisis happening [with] men today and we need to talk about it openly and without fear. We cannot avoid the biological/evolutionary differences between men and women.” —Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)

Re: The Gender Cult

“I think it’s the most unfair group walking the planet right now. They have a playbook that only they’re playing by. No one else gets to see this playbook, but we’re being judged by everything that’s in this playbook.” —former NBA player Gilbert Arenas regarding LGBTQ+

For the Record

“Contrary to what most Americans assume, affirmative action has never helped poor kids. In fact, Harvard favors wealthy kids. Only 3% of the student body come from low-income families. A staggering 67% come from families in the top fifth of the nation’s earners, per data provided by Harvard researcher Raj Chetty. Nearly three-quarters of Harvard’s Black and Hispanic students come from high-earning families.” —Betsy McCaughey

“Many Democrats believe packing the Supreme Court is justified simply because they disagree with certain decisions of the Court. Let that sink in.” —Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)

“The Biden Admin’s Afghanistan report is a cover-up. They try to pass the blame but don’t explain why they abandoned our conditions-based approach. Or why they left Bagram Air Base before evacuating civilians. Or why they arbitrarily selected 9/11 as a final deadline. A complete failure of leadership. The catastrophic handling of Afghanistan encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine. Weakness is provocative, and we’ll be paying for these mistakes for years.” —former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Observations

“There is … a palpable gloom that has taken over the country. … This doesn’t feel like Ronald Reagan’s Morning in America. It feels like dusk. It feels like Biden’s big bills are coming due soon and that it will take a long, long time to pay them off. … Biden wants to strike up the band on the economy and his record as president, but few Americans feel like celebrating his ‘achievements.’” —Stephen Moore

“When an entire generation is as poorly prepared for the responsibilities of citizenship as today’s young people are — including the ultimate responsibility of defending the nation — the blame falls heaviest on their elders. Our institutions shaped this youth cohort, and the leaders at the top of our institutions utterly failed them.” —Daniel McCarthy

“I don’t know if social media made people monsters or just gave them the opportunity to expose themselves to the world.” —Derek Hunter

And Last…

“I do know this — and I think the American people can see it — the Washington managerial elite, the establishment, if you will, is working harder than an ugly stripper to cover up whatever happened.” —Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) on the Biden corruption cover-up
