Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from John Kerry, Gregory Meeks, Thomas Gallatin, and more.

Hot Air

“We don’t own a private jet. I don’t own a private jet. I personally have never owned a private jet.” —climate czar John Kerry

“I think at some point someone called you [sic] that you were carrying a far-left, radical agenda. I have to admit to you, if anybody thinks it is radical to care about the protection of this planet for future generations, sign me up. It reminds me of Martin Luther King … when he was called a radical and an extremist.” —Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-PA) to John Kerry

“Climate change and its effects are a national security issue.” –Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY)

Hunter, Call Your Office

“If you have a piece of crack cocaine no bigger than this quarter that I’m holding in my hand … you go to jail for five years. You get no probation. You get nothing other than five years in jail. Judge doesn’t have a choice.” —Joe Biden in 1991

Nothing to See Here…

“I can’t get a bottle of water onto a Delta flight but you can get a bag of white powder into the most secured location in America and there’s NO WAY to stop it or figure out who left it. Seems totally legit.” —Jimmy Failla

“If you leave cocaine in the WH or leak a confidential SCOTUS draft to the press, you can rest well knowing every governmental investigative resource will never find out who you are. Leak classified documents on discord however and the Feds are at your front door in 35 minutes.” —Stephen L. Miller

Observations

“There was a time not too long ago when the FBI was held in the same high regard as the American military. Now the bureau is about as popular as Joe Biden. Does Chris Wray even care that he’s presiding over the collapse of this once-proud agency? If he does, he’s got a weird way of showing it.” —Douglas Andrews

“While it is true that the U.S. and much of NATO are effectively engaged in funding an increasingly expensive proxy war against Russia, at least American soldiers aren’t over there dying. If peace is the desired end, then NATO membership for Ukraine is the wrong answer.” —Thomas Gallatin

“Decades ago, leftists decided that Nazis were so universally reviled that the best way to discredit conservatives was to falsely assert that Nazis were right-wingers simply because the 20th century’s most famous fascists tended to be racist and nationalist. Of course, claiming that the National Socialist German Workers Party was on the Right is a lie big enough to make Joseph Goebbels blush. Unfortunately, thanks to public school indoctrination, it has mostly worked.” —Nate Jackson
