The Patriot Post® · Friday Short Cuts

Braying Jennies

“This is a fight between the millions of hardworking people who don’t want to get cheated and a handful of billionaires like Elon Musk who want the chance to cheat them.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren

“You can’t spell felon without Elon.” —Congresswoman Delia Ramirez

Race Bait

“Black excellence scares Donald Trump, it scares Stephen Miller, and it scares Elon Musk. Because you know what? Deep down they recognize their own mediocrity.” —Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman

“White supremacy is rampant in this country. Just look at the current administration and our own legislative body.” —Congresswoman Summer Lee

Sexism Bait

“You had mentioned trying to engage more women in manufacturing. I’m just wondering if just the name ‘manufacturing’ sounds like a guy.” —Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“House Democrats believe that urgent action is needed to drive down the high cost of living in the United States of America.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries, whose party drove up the cost of living in America

Friendly Fire

“Democrats are only focused on one thing right now: Mr. Musk. The fact of the matter, he’s quite popular. He has the largest platform in human history, which is, of course, Twitter/X. And I think we’re missing the boat as Democrats. And all I’m saying is that sometimes it’s better to join them and actually play a role in how the strategy works rather than — so pathetically, frankly — try to combat something that clearly is a steamroller. And Democrats are being steamrolled.” —former Democrat Congressman Dean Phillips

For the Record

“Liberals are especially bent out of shape that the man leading Trump’s attack on ludicrous government expenditures is Elon Musk. In case you haven’t heard, he is ‘unelected’! You know who else is ‘unelected’? Federal judges.” —Ann Coulter¹

“If the president’s authority to make personnel decisions in the executive branch is subject to judicial veto, can a district court judge veto bills? Order Congress to adjourn or to pass a law? Make treaties? Perhaps we could have all 677 district court judges give their own State of the Union addresses next January!” —Ann Coulter¹

“I just find it so notable how upset the left is with cuts to foreign aid because of the harm the cuts can cause to others abroad and these same people refused to recognize the harm Biden’s policies were causing to Americans here.” —Erick Erickson

Political Futures

“Look, there’s a lot for which Mitch McConnell can be fairly criticized. But pillorying him for voting against a dude whose entire worldview is 99.9% contrary to conservative orthodoxy? Come on. RFK is a nut, even if a broken clock is right twice a day.” —Jordan Candler
