Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Byron York, Nate Jackson, and more.

Spin Doctor

“We’re gonna stay focused on really ensuring that we’re communicating what this president has delivered for the American people.” —Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez

The BIG Lies

“Wages are growing faster than inflation.” —Joe Biden

“Our plan is working. It’s working. … We’ve created over 13 million brand-new jobs since I took office. Thirteen million in less than three years.” —Joe Biden

We’re Shocked — Shocked!

“I wish I hadn’t called it that. [The Inflation Reduction Act] has less to do with reducing inflation than it does providing for alternatives that generate economic growth.” —Joe Biden

Non Compos Mentis

“The problem was too many people are working. Or working people are working making too much money. That’s not the problem.” —Joe Biden

Swampthink

“Small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for democracy and for the GOP because … large donors actually have a strategic view about moderation, who can win, who can’t. Small donors really are just venting their spleen with their credit card.” —CNN’s Jonah Goldberg

Observations

“Chris Wray and his chums on the J. Edgar Hoover building’s seventh floor deserve to be thoroughly exposed for their anti-Catholic bigotry and their anti-Republican bigotry and all the rest of it. The thousands of good and decent patriots among the FBI’s 35,000 employees deserve nothing less.” —Douglas Andrews

“It’s just human nature that when something is repeated over and over, we become less attuned to each new repetition. Especially when we think at least some of it is just politics. That could be enormously frustrating to those Democrats most determined to remove Trump from the American political scene.” —Byron York

“Personal responsibility is hard. Taking responsibility for the separate human life growing inside a woman’s womb is hard for that woman. Hard things are often also right and very worthwhile things. They’re just really hard to sell politically to people who prefer what they think is the easy way out. That just means pro-lifers need to redouble our efforts to change hearts and minds.” —Nate Jackson

“The reprehensible labor conditions for mining the minerals necessary for making EV batteries are just one of many problems with forcing this green revolution. It’s painfully ironic that Kamala Harris is busy lying about Florida’s slavery curriculum while the Biden administration is seeking to force more Americans to buy into an industry that relies on slave labor.” —Thomas Gallatin

“40 years ago they told us an ice age was imminent. Now they tell us that the climate warming is an existential threat to humanity. Which is it? Neither. It’s really about dominion, control and punishing the West.” —Vivek Ramaswamy
