NOTABLE QUOTABLES (September 14, 2023)

THE BIG LIES

“Ground Zero in New York – I remember standing there the next day and looking at the building. I felt like I was looking through the gates of hell.” – Joe Biden, who was in Washington, DC, on September 12, 2001

“Overall, we are seeing progress, but we’re not gonna have a constant. There are gonna be fluctuations. That is normal, just like the weather fluctuates.” – Kamala Harris vis-à-vis illegal immigration

“We see that the work that this president is doing, the economic policies that he’s put forward, is actually helping.” – White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“There is no direct evidence that President Biden was involved in any way, shape, or form in Hunter Biden’s business dealings.” – Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY)

LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS AWARD

“I think the [Biden] impeachment inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do something that will make their lives better, not go off on these chases and witch hunts.” – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

AUTHORITARIANISM

“If there’s an emergency – and I’ve declared an emergency for a temporary amount of time – I can invoke additional powers. No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute.” – New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who banned the carrying of guns in Albuquerque for 30 days

FOR THE RECORD

“[Michelle Lujan Grisham] says she wants to ‘make New Mexicans safer,’ but she might have been better off taking a cue from the ridiculous plea for a daytime cease-fire in Chicago. Criminals are about as likely to obey her order as they are to, you know, not murder someone.” – Nate Jackson

RE: THE LEFT

“The Founding Fathers, architects of the First Amendment and defenders of the very idea of free speech, would be appalled to see the lengths to which the censors now go to silence political debate in what should be a free country. That the executive branch has been a part of such censorship is worthy of a place in the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence.” – Nate Jackson
