The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts
Friendly Fire
“We are not going to win in November with this president. … Top Democrats — Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi — and senators, representatives and other candidates who face losing in November need to ask this president to voluntarily step aside.” —actor George Clooney
How hilarious would it be if it was an actor (George Clooney) who ultimately forced Biden out of the race. After all, Democrats have been acting as if nothing’s wrong for years.

“For the good of the country, I’m calling on President Biden to withdraw from the race.” —Senator Peter Welch (D-VT)
For the Record
“Let’s be clear about something, none of this Democrat panic is actually about Biden’s health, it’s about him losing. If Biden were winning there wouldn’t be a word of criticism.” —Clay Travis
“Democrats have traveled through all five stages of grief… But what they’re accepting is not Joe Biden’s mental decline. What they’re accepting is the fundamental reality that they bet on the wrong horse.” —Ben Shapiro
“The impaired president and his wife should not be able to hold onto power, endangering the national interest. Americans adopted the 25th Amendment for a crisis like this one.” —Betsy McCaughey
Political Futures
“Some will reject using the 25th Amendment, arguing that an acting President Harris will be more dangerous than doddering Joe. But at least the nation will get to assess our DEI vice president in the top job on a trial basis before the November election.” —Betsy McCaughey
“Harris is a Black woman whose entire career was built on an affair with a powerful married man old enough to be her father. … As vice president, Biden openly chose Harris (at the very least, in part) because of her race and gender. By definition, she is a DEI hire.” —Ian Haworth
The BIG Lie
“Food prices are still too high because of corporate greed.” —Joe Biden
Veep Thoughts
“In this election, there can be no doubt who you can count on to fight for you when it counts.” —Kamala Harris
