The Patriot Post® · Wednesday Short Cuts

Tempest in a Teapot

“What’s crazy is I AGREE that we have a rogue regime ruining our country & I’ll be watching to see what the ICC does. Trump is a national security risk & embarrassment & MAGANIACS are the only ones that can’t see it.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

Non Compos Mentis

“Don’t tell me you reject DEI when you live in a White House built by black hands.” —Senator Raphael Warnock

Poor Taste

“Egg prices are supposed to come down, not airplanes.” — “The View” co-host Joy Behar

D'oh!

“Progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights. We’re seeing a U-turn right now.” —Kamala Harris, unintentionally affirming that Trump is restoring rights violated by the Biden/Harris regime

Paradigm Shift

“We are waging a 21st-century information warfare campaign against the Left and they are using tactics from the 1990s. They are holding tiny press conferences, tiny little rallies. They’re screaming into the ether on MSNBC. This is what you call top-down command and control — you get your talking points from a newspaper and you put it on the broadcast network and then it disappears! What you’re seeing on the Right is asymmetrical; it’s like grassroots guerrilla warfare. Someone says something on social media, Musk retweets it, Rogan podcasts it, Fox broadcasts it, and by the time it reaches everybody, millions of people have seen it. It’s free money!” —Jessie Watters

Re: The Left

“Here’s a dirty secret about the federal government many Americans are just learning: It’s run by Democrats, even when voters elect Republicans. … By fighting the partisan bias of the permanent government, President Trump isn’t endangering the Constitution — he’s restoring its balance.” —Daniel McCarthy¹

“Always funny to me that ‘listen to your people when they object to mass migration’ and ‘censorship is bad’ is treated as a ‘threat to democracy.’ Do you know what ‘democracy’ actually means?” —JD Vance

For the Record

“[Trump] is actually following through on the promise to cut federal government waste, fraud, and abuse. And this is the first president to actually do such a thing and the Democrats are up in arms about it.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

“Why should Congress and various government agencies care? It’s not their money they are spending. Republicans should not be left off the hook. Many are just as guilty as the Democrats they are now deriding.” —Cal Thomas²

“If anything, the frightening realization that we can save a billion here and a billion there and still make just minimal progress toward fiscal stability serves as a wake-up call about the enormity of our economic challenge. We need DOGE on steroids.” —Jack DeVine³

Belly Laugh of the Day

“If I can’t continue to send Social Security checks to each of the Founding Fathers, I’ll have no choice but to resign.” —Senator Mike Lee

And Last…

“Look, you just gotta try harder not to suck.” —Senator John Kennedy in reference to the Democrat Party
