The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts

Tone-Deaf

“Heaven help anybody who’s going to use real eggs on Easter. I have an Easter egg roll at the Governor’s Residence, inviting kids from the neighborhood over. I can’t afford them.” —New York Governor Kathy Hochul, whose combined income with her husband was north of $1 million last year

Non Compos Mentis

“Donald Trump could not be airlifted to another country and just deported from the United States because he’s a criminal convict. And [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] … has no criminal record at all.” —Rep. Jamie Raskin

“I think this is worthy of being at the top agenda of things that we’re going to fight over is get [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] back home.” —James Carville (His “home” would be native El Salvador…)

Projection

“In fewer than 100 days, this new administration … has done so much damage and so much destruction. It’s kind of breathtaking it could happen that soon.” —Joe Biden

Double Standards

“The American people should never have to wonder if the president, the cabinet, or members of Congress are making decisions for the good of the country or the good of their own bank accounts. It’s long past time to ban those senior leaders from owning & trading individual stocks.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren miraculously rediscovering ethics every time Democrats lose power

Dezinformatsiya

“I just want to say, for the record, since we heard President Trump say in the Oval Office that CNN hates our country — CNN does not hate our country.” —CNN’s Dana Bash

Village Idiot

“My two granddaughters … don’t have as many rights right now as I did growing up.” —Melinda French Gates

Defending Evil

“We see how the issue of sacrifice exists in both cultures. It was a practice; it’s not that they were violent, it was their way of connecting with the celestial bodies.” —Maria Belen Mendez, an archeologist defending child sacrifice

Reality Check

“Decades ago, the United States was a global leader in the production of rare earth minerals. But, like virtually everything else, our stupid trade policies sent those jobs to communist China. And what our trade policies didn’t destroy, the radical environmental movement finished off.” —Gary Bauer

“China is at war with the United States. The question is, how will we fight them? Better, how do YOU want to fight them?” —Allen West

You Reap What You Sow

“Private institutions have every right to do what they want within the confines of the law. But the second you accept taxpayer dollars — and in Harvard’s case, billions of taxpayer dollars — you’re no longer an entirely private institution.” —Ian Haworth

“The Ivy League universities are about to find out that the Civil Rights Act doesn’t have an exemption for discriminating against whites, Asians, and Jews.” —Christopher Rufo

Re: The Left

“So to recap: left wingers have now tried to assassinate Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh, Trump twice, and the governor of Pennsylvania. Seems like kind of a serious trend.” —Clay Travis

For the Record

“It’s the Republicans who are taking the side of Facts and Science when it comes to the immutable reality of the gender binary.” —Tim Graham

Belly Laugh of the Day

“Letitia James is gonna wind up in a $500 million jail when this is over. But knowing her she’ll say it’s only worth $18 million.” —Jimmy Failla

And Last…

“Faith doesn’t have to mean turning off your brain. Rather, having faith can be the step one takes based on the evidence, including the historical documentation of an empty tomb. Happy Easter.” —Victor Joecks
