Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from KJP, Joe Biden, The Washington Post, and more.

The BIG Lies

“Bidenomics is indeed working. … Cost is going down … wages [are] going up.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“This is a president who has spent the last two years turning the economy around.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

Non Compos Mentis

“We passed a $368 billion climate control facility.” —Joe Biden

“We’re preparing the military by trying to deal with the climate stuff.” —Joe Biden

“The Grand Canyon, one of the earth’s nine wonders, wonders of the world — literally!” —Joe Biden

Race Bait

“[Yesterday was] the 9th anniversary of Mike Brown’s killing. He would be alive today if the institutions of racism and white supremacy were eradicated. He should be alive today. We will never forget. We will continue to fight for justice and accountability.” —Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO)

“Former president Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis argue Trump would not get a fair trial in the ‘Swamp,’ adding to a history intertwined with race and partisan politics.” —The Washington Post

For the Record

“My ancestors would have rolled over in their graves. They believed that transgender, gays, that sort of thing was all a very personal issue. They loved this country because it is a free country and people are allowed to do what they want. But it was never meant to be on a beer can and never meant to be pushed in people’s faces.” —Anheuser-Busch heir Billy Busch

“The elites often are vicious and evil. Because of their … contempt for America and her regular, normal, hard-working people, the elites have destroyed our institutions and culture. They eroded trust in government by lying and controlling, they ruined our schools and colleges by indoctrinating our youth, they turned news reporting into propaganda peddling in service to one party, and they perverted Hollywood by churning out sanctimonious social messaging. If there’s ‘systemic’ anything, remember who controls the system.” —Nate Jackson

Political Futures

“Biden wants a campaign about personalities, not about issues. And no personality now attracts more attention, diverting from the issues we should be debating, than our former president.” —Star Parker

Insight

“As compared with impulsive commitment to the first idea which dawns, that is, with intuitive action, reasoning is patient, exploratory of other possibilities, and deliberative.” —Edwin Arthur Burtt (1892-1989)

And Last…

“Abortion is at the center of our throwaway culture where we don’t see children as precious, don’t treat sex as sacred, & don’t take responsibility for our actions.” —Lila Rose
