Wednesday Short Cuts
Notable quotables from Whoopi Goldberg, JD Vance, Michael Knowles, Elissa Slotkin, and more.
Gaslighting
“Let me just remind you about the Biden economy, okay? The economy added 16.6 million jobs… They are the only administration in history to have created jobs every single month.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg
Demagogue
“[Elon] Musk said the quiet part out loud: he’s going after your Social Security and Medicare. Period. Mark my words. They will make you pay in every part of your life.” —Senator Elissa Slotkin reiterating the Democrat commitment to never balancing the budget
For the Record
“It makes no sense that millionaires and billionaires can make seven-, eight- and even nine-figure donations to their alma maters and these funds escape the taxes that all the rest of us pay. … There are at least a dozen schools bulging with $10 billion endowments, and scores more with more than $1 billion each. We should call these schools Loophole U.” —Stephen Moore
“President Trump has made more threatening sounds about Canada than about Russia. He is wielding a weapon — sweeping 25% tariffs — that would almost certainly drive our Friendly Neighbor to the North into a recession, while he is making its leaders and people honestly fearful of the United States. The madman theory has much to recommend it … when dealing with Hamas or the Houthis. No one heretofore has thought it has similar benefits when handling relations with Ottawa.” —Rich Lowry
Political Futures
“Every day Trump focuses on primarying people like Thomas Massie, the deep state saboteurs who derailed his first administration are able to continue scheming against him.” —Tom Elliott
Re: The Left
“In an off-the-record remark to his adoring Leftmedia propagandists 10 years ago, Barack Obama summarized his guiding policy principle: ‘Don’t do stupid sh*t.’ … Biden proved there are no limits to ‘stupid sh*t’ a sitting president can do.” —Mark Alexander
“Democrats have gone from mandating electric cars to setting them on fire and they wonder why nobody takes them seriously.” —Jimmy Failla
“Antisemitism permeates the left, and the trend lines are clear. It will get worse with every passing year.” —Gary Bauer
“If we really wanted to make America great again, we would deport all Columbia graduate students.” —Michael Knowles
Upright
“I just want people to know that you can’t be penalized for being a patriot. And he’s a great patriot.” —Donald Trump referring to Elon Musk and announcing his decision to purchase a Tesla
And Last…
“Dictators crave power. President Donald Trump is using his power to give Americans more freedom. That’s a massive difference.” —Victor Joecks
