The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts

Non Compos Mentis

“I hope the legacy is that I kept my word that I said the reason I was running was to … reduce the prospect of war because of Vietnam.” —Joe Biden

Useful Idiot

“I think what [Benjamin Netanyahu] is doing is a mistake. I don’t agree with his approach.” —Joe Biden

“Just call for a ceasefire, allow for the next six, eight weeks total access to all food and medicine going into the country.” —Joe Biden

For the Record

“Obviously, America ought not involve itself in foreign conflicts in which we are unwilling to stay the course. American interests dictate pragmatism. But we’ve gone far beyond that. Now we’re telling our allies that they can’t win victories in conflicts in which they are willing to stay the course and in which they can win. We will actively step in to prevent victory. And so our enemies grow stronger. … It turns out that the alternative to an America confident in its own moral role — and an America willing to stand with its allies — is a world of chaos.” —Ben Shapiro

Spin Doctor

“We have dramatically reduced inflation from 9% down to close to 3%.” —Joe Biden, who caused it to spike to 9% in the first place, and is behind its recent rise back to 3.5%

Grand Delusions

“[Trump] was terrible for the economy. Thank goodness Joe Biden got into office, because Joe Biden pulled us out of a potential recession.” —Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL)

The BIG Lies

“I used teach the Second Amendment in law school. From the very beginning, there were limitations. You couldn’t own a cannon.” —Joe Biden

“When it comes to guns, it is the number one killer of our children.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“Can you believe that laws are being passed that make it literally illegal to give [voters] food and water while they’re standing in line?” —Kamala Harris

Dumb & Dumber

“Just this past week I saw, I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity — and I was like, ‘I don’t know that that’s not necessarily a bad idea’ … propose [that] black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

“Men punching random women in NYC: A desperate last gasp of the male rage fueling MAGA.” —Salon headline

“[Republicans] want to bring slavery back. They’re okay with it.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg

“[Abortion] is not mentioned in the Big 10 [Commandments]. … I think ‘thou shalt not kill’ cannot be used as the block because we allow wars all the time.” —Whoopi Goldberg

Lack of Self-Awareness Awards

“Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements.” —Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

“The way we denigrate people. The way we talk about people. … What the hell is this? It’s never been like this.” —Joe Biden

Re: The Left

“Leftists have an annoying habit of thinking fear and loathing and ugliness and venom are somehow unique to the Republican half of America. They, by contrast, are apparently all sugar and spice and everything nice. Have they watched five minutes of ‘The Reidout’ or ‘The View’?” —Tim Graham

And Last…

“Everybody who defends open borders by telling you ‘America was built on immigration’ fails to mention that they weren’t getting off the boats at Ellis Island and chanting ‘death to America.’” —Jimmy Failla
