Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Joe Biden, Robert Reich, Armstrong Williams, and more.

Creepy

“I want to say one thing to your children. I know some really great ice cream places around here and daddy owes you, so talk to me afterwards.” —Joe Biden

Grand Delusions

“Joe Biden, when I’ve been around him … when I’ve seen him on the news, he’s absolutely 100% with it. And he’s got his recall, his cognitive ability. … He’s fine and he’s doing a good job. I think folks are making a bigger deal out of it than it is.” —Senator Jon Tester (D-MT)

The BIG Lies

“The economy is great. It’s the goldilocks economy. I’ll tell ya, I’ve been watching or participating in economic policy for at least 30 years, and I don’t recall an economy that is this good.” —former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich

“This law [the Inflation Reduction Act] is helping families save thousands of dollars in energy bills every year.” —Joe Biden

“When it comes to the Inflation Reduction Act, as great as it has been, the best is yet to come!” —Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

“[Democrats] will be able to articulate a whole host of accomplishments to say to the American people, ‘Trust us!’ We mean what we say, we say what we mean in terms of our efforts to put people over politics.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

“[Republicans] have done a pitiful job of trying to make any case that something untoward has happened… There is zero evidence linking President Biden personally to anything, and there’s zero evidence of political interference.” —Congressman Gerry Connolly (D-VA)

Dezinformatsiya

“Florida’s Black history curriculum teaches children slavery was beneficial for Black people.” —CNN headline (“If you haven’t learned that a significant portion of the media’s time is specifically dedicated to manipulating black people into feeling victimized and continue to fall for it when it happens, I’m not sure what to tell you.” —Allie Beth Stuckey)

Re: The Left

“People like Al Gore and Greta Thunberg have often literally screamed their apocalyptic vision of a near future world where the oceans rise and the earth burns. How many times have these charlatans claimed that earth will end in X number of years if we don’t immediately stop carbon emissions, only for the date to come and go without even a hint of remorse for the deceit they’ve peddled? And how many children suffer despair and anxiety because they’re repeatedly warned the world is ending?” —Thomas Gallatin

“I urge our government to welcome displaced Hawaiians with more than just open arms. They deserve five-star hotel accommodations, luxurious meals, free health care and child care. Why? Because that’s how we should treat Americans. And yet, it’s how we’re currently treating the migrants. ‘America First’ has been wrongly maligned due to the left’s deliberate misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the principle. It’s about preserving a nation’s dignity, offering help and utilizing resources wisely, without exhausting them. The American people’s welfare must not be sacrificed for Ukraine or the migrants crossing our borders.” —Armstrong Williams

Insight

“If I want to be free from any other man’s dictation, I must understand that I can have no other man under my control.” —William Graham Sumner (1840-1910)
