The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts
Demagogue
“To my Republican colleagues, I offer a word of caution in good faith: Take care not to misread the will of the people, and do not abandon the need for bipartisanship.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer (“Schumer’s top priority in the new Harris administration would have been to eliminate the legislative filibuster that has long protected minority rights in the Senate.” —Byron York)
The BIG Lie
“Although there is very little evidence indicating a connection between immigration and violent crime, this is still something President-elect Trump, several Republicans on The Hill wanted to essentially plant their flag on and point that to the current Biden administration.” —ABC News’s Ike Ejiochi
For the Record
“It turns out that [Jose] Ibarra was flown by the Biden/Harris administration, at taxpayer expense, on a ‘humanitarian flight’ from New York City, a left-wing sanctuary city, to Georgia, where he stalked Laken Riley and killed her. That flight was anything but ‘humanitarian’ for Laken Riley.” —Gary Bauer
“Laken Riley was a victim of a heinous crime, committed by an illegal alien who should have never been anywhere near her — he was enabled by a government/NGO system that claims to be empathetic. To who? This man also victimized her family, who have a hole in their hearts forever, and her friends, who testified today they no longer run outdoors — terrified they’ll be next. … It didn’t have to be this way. It must stop.” —Katie Pavlich
It’s incredible how many headlines from legacy media outfits are saying that a “man” has been convicted of killing Laken Riley.

That “man” is an illegal immigrant.
Political Futures
“Matt Gaetz is virtually no one’s idea of a qualified nominee. … He practiced law for less than two years in a civil firm, has no criminal law experience and was briefly suspended for not paying certain administrative fees but was later reinstated, according to USA Today. He has spent most of his adult professional career in Congress, representing Florida’s 1st Congressional District since 2017.” —Christine Flowers
And Last…
“Women shouldn’t be forced to share bathrooms, locker rooms, or any other private space with men. Sex-exclusive spaces exist to protect women and girls from men, especially the men who’d dress up as a woman to get undressed next to them.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
“The same people who feel that it’s banning books to take pornography out of school feels that it’s perfectly fine to keep the Bible out of school.” —Andrew Klavan
