The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

The BIG Lie

“Illegal crossings have gone down every year for three years.” —Bill Clinton

Letting the Mask Slip

“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally. No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.” —Kamala Harris’s response to some Christians’ “Jesus is Lord” declaration

Upright

“That’s right, Jesus is King.” —JD Vance’s response to a Christian’s “Jesus is King” declaration

Flip-Flop

“Let me be very clear: My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency. … I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership.” —Kamala Harris, who recently said “There is not a thing that comes to mind” when she was asked, “Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?”

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Can we all agree that [Kamala Harris] is the most qualified person that’s ever tried to do this?” —Tim Walz

Re: The Left

“Fascism historically was ‘national socialism’ — government control over much of the economy. By that definition, Democrats today are the national socialists — using regulation, mandates, law enforcement, and trillions of dollars in subsidies to coerce Americans to follow their dictates on climate and culture.” —The Wall Street Journal

For the Record

“That Harris is so tinny and unpersuasive on the border is, in large part, not a product of poor communications skills; rather it is part and parcel of a strategic choice to try to muddy the waters instead of admitting how and why the administration created an utterly avoidable debacle.” —Rich Lowry

“The record indicates that whatever Harris’s results are on an I.Q. test or other measure of intellect, she is particularly talented by another measuring stick, one that may be even more important in politics: She is exceptionally skilled at getting other people emotionally invested in her success.” —Jim Geraghty

And Last…

“While the country might benefit from another debate between Trump and Harris, the more interesting debate would be the old liberal Kamala Harris debating the new one, who’s trying to convince you she’s actually moderate.” — former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy
