The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

Hot Air

“Supercharged by climate change: [Hurricane Helene’s] intensity was fueled by warm waters due to fossil fuel use.” —CNN

“Big Oil and their mouthpiece, Fox News, would rather us burn fossil fuels until entire cities get wiped out than have us confront the climate crisis. They do not give a damn about people losing everything.” —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

The BIG Lies

“In the four years that Donald Trump was president, he did nothing to fix our broken immigration system.” —Kamala Harris

“[Immigration] is something that’s on the mind of American voters … which is why Vice President Harris visited the border. … Somebody is actually putting in the work.” —Harris-Walz Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks

Dumb & Dumber

“Your role has reshaped the perception of masculinity.” —MSNBC’s Jen Psaki to Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff (Does peak masculinity include or exclude impregnating the nanny?)

“Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer [disinformation] out of existence.” —John Kerry

Village Idiot

“I think Biden should dissolve the Supreme Court.” —leftist author Fran Lebowitz

Useful Idiots

“[Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah] maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians. A powerful orator, he was beloved among many Shiite Muslims, a historically marginalized group in the Arab world, and created a state within a state in Lebanon that provided social services.” —The New York Times

“Among his followers, Mr. Nasrallah was seen as a father figure, a moral compass and a political guide.” —The Washington Post

“Nasrallah was regarded by supporters as a charismatic and shrewd leader.” —Associated Press

For the Record

“If this is what the Secret Service has become, it’s a wonder that something worse than Butler, Pennsylvania, hasn’t already happened. … Barney Fife was better organized and more accountable. … Surely, this sort of ineptitude wouldn’t be tolerated by Taylor Swift’s security detail.” —Rich Lowry

And Last…

“[Tim Walz] is the only school teacher in America who brags that none of his students can get into an Ivy League school.” —Republican strategist Scott Jennings
