The Patriot Post® · Monday Short Cuts
Non Sequitur
“The final reports are in on the Uvalde tragedy. 376 armed officers were outside that classroom. For one hour and 17 minutes. And they did nothing. Final proof that more guns in our schools will not keep our kids safe.” —Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT)
Fearmongering
“Two years ago, the Supreme Court justices that Trump handpicked helped overturn Roe v. Wade. … For MAGA Republicans, Roe is just the beginning. They’re going to try to ban the right to choose nationwide. They’re coming for IVF and birth control next. We’re up against extremism. Send me back to the White House and I’ll fight like hell to restore Roe v. Wade and protect American freedom.” —Joe Biden
Non Compos Mentis
“Joe Biden doesn’t have any concerns about his mental fitness.” —Biden campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu
Upright
“DRUG TEST BIDEN BEFORE THE DEBATE! … The American people deserve to know if their ‘President’ is taking Performance Enhancing Drugs!” —Congressman and former White House physician Ronny Jackson (R-TX)
The BIG Lies
“Biden, every day, is fighting to save people money.” —Mitch Landrieu
“[Biden] can’t deal with [the border] if Congress and Republicans continue to block him. … The president is doing what he can with the resources available to him. … The president is out there doing everything he can, not just at the border, but overall for families.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
For the Record
“Biden’s amnesty is blatantly, flagrantly and offensively unconstitutional. Only Congress, not the president, can ‘establish a uniform rule of naturalization.’ … The president has plenary statutory authority under 8 U.S.C. 1201 to deport any alien (legal or illegal) at any time for any reason, but he does not have any reciprocal power to naturalize aliens outside of Congress.” —Josh Hammer
Re: The Left
“Those who want a few big states ruling the nation via a direct federal democracy are not interested in a ‘republic’ that derives power from the governed but one that strips local control and individual rights from those they dislike. … It’s no accident the people who demand you call us a ‘democracy’ also champion the idea that 50.1% of the country should be empowered to lord over the economic, religious, cultural, and political decisions of 49.9%. It’s the point.” —David Harsanyi
“California has become a test case of the suicide of the West. Never before has such a state, so rich in natural resources and endowed with such a bountiful human inheritance, self-destructed so rapidly.” —Victor Davis Hanson
