The Patriot Post® · Friday Short Cuts

Topsy-Turvy

“Kamala Harris is a radical liberal who would raise taxes, take away guns & health insurance, and explode the size and power of the federal gov’t. She wants to recreate America in the image of what’s happening on the streets of Portland & Seattle. We won’t give her the chance.” —former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (WY), August 2020

“Not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris.” —Liz Cheney, September 2024

Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste

“We must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines again, require safe storage of firearms, enact universal background checks, and end immunity for gun manufacturers. Thoughts and prayers are not enough.” —Joe Biden

Demagogue

“[Project 2025] is an agenda that’s been put together that would … take away rights and freedoms that so many of us take for granted, that would dismantle vital programs and services like the Department of Education. It’s not the kind of America that I think we’d want to live in.” —Barack Obama

For the Record

“Hunter to plead guilty to tax charges. How long until the pardon. A guilty plea avoids a messy trial that would inevitably connect Joe Biden to Hunter’s overseas business dealings.” —Katie Pavlich

“The funniest part of this will be when Joe pardons Hunter and Democrat act like it’s a shock that Joe lied.” —Buck Sexton

Political Futures

“While the Right criticizes [Kamala Harris] for not doing interviews, laying out her plans on her website, or being clear about what she wants to do in the White House, the truth is that she doesn’t need to — at least not at the moment. When all you have to do is create memes and latch onto viral trends and phrases, policy and planning seem sort of unnecessary.” —Samantha Koch

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“It was Hamas that kidnapped and murdered innocent Israelis and took hostages last October. It is Hamas that has a covenant which calls for the creation of an Islamic state in all of Palestine and the obliteration of Israel. How do you negotiate with an enemy who believes their god has given direct orders to eliminate the Jewish state by any means necessary?” —Cal Thomas

“Television journalists routinely allow guests/pundits/politicians/surrogates to call Trump ‘fascist.’ But isn’t it fascist for government to pressure social media platforms into suppressing dissent about COVID; for government to pressure social media platforms into restricting the Hunter Biden laptop story; and for Harris to propose price controls?” —Larry Elder

And Last…

“The Constitution does not just protect against human malevolence, of which there is plenty. It also protects against human stupidity, of which there is much more.” —Laura Hollis
