The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts

We’re Shocked — Shocked!

“Joe Biden was more than a participant and a beneficiary of his family’s business. He was an active, aware enabler who met with business associates such as myself to further the business.” —Tony Bobulinski

“It is clear to me that Joe Biden was the brand being sold by the Biden family.” —Tony Bobulinski

Violent Rhetoric?

“He’s clearly going mad and I would attack right now. I’d spend that money, I’d jump all over him because my feeling is when your opponent is drowning, the first thing you do is throw him or her an anvil and that’s what he needs right now. He’s drowning, give him an anvil!” —Democrat strategist James Carville on how Biden should handle Trump

Grand Delusions

“This election is not a referendum on me.” —Joe Biden

Lack of Self-Awareness

“We need other countries to … enforce their enforcement protocols at their respective borders.” —DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Bingo

“Texas basically copied federal law and made it state law. There would be no conflict if the Biden administration were enforcing the law. Bank robbery and kidnapping, for example, are against both federal and state law and may be prosecuted at either or both levels. Is the Biden administration really going to argue that a state prosecuting a robber or kidnapper is conflicting with the federal government? Of course not, though that’s because the administration doesn’t advocate robbery and kidnapping the way it does illegal entry.” —Nate Jackson

Non Compos Mentis

“You’ve increased NATO and the border of NATO from [sic] bringing in Sweden and Norway.” —Joe Biden (“Norway was a founding member of NATO in 1949.” —RNC)

“We’ve cut deficit by over by the time it’s out over $2 trillion we’ve cut the deficit.” —Joe Biden

For the Record

“Not long ago, it was cheaper to fuel up an EV than a gas-powered car. No longer thanks to the government’s force-fed renewable transition, which is raising electricity prices. Fueling up a Ford F-Series truck now costs about $17 per 100 miles on average compared to $17.75 for an F-150 Lightning with mostly home-charging and $26.39 with mostly commercial chargers.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Ironically, the one industry in America that pays virtually no business tax is the green energy colossus. Why don’t we start with making THEM pay their fair share, which clearly isn’t zero?” —Stephen Moore

Upright

“Protecting life is the moral center and purpose for the pro-life movement. We should not shy away from exposing the extremism of Democratic lawmakers and abortion advocates, who believe it should be legal to kill babies until the moment of birth.” —Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)

“Abortion is a social issue, not an individual issue. There is mother, there is father, and there is a child. … America’s future depends on a culture of life. This should be the Republican message.” —Star Parker

“All law is someone’s idea of what is right and what is wrong. The question is: Whose ideas are going to prevail?” —Gary Bauer
