The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts

Fearmongering

“Donald Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and … I fear that we will not have an election in 2028. I really mean that in the core of my soul. Unless we wake up to the Code Red, what’s happening in this country.” —California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Non Compos Mentis

“I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone.” —"comedian" Jimmy Kimmel

Say That Again … Slowly

“We have got to stop demonizing each other. Now, I think most of that right now in our country’s history is coming, you know, from the Right, coming from people who want to dominate. … We have got to stop with the finger-pointing and the scapegoating.” —Hillary Clinton

Dumb & Dumber

“The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was, dominated by, you know — let’s say it, white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology — it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.” —Hillary Clinton

“Maybe the way that JD Vance got into Yale is because they were tired of just letting in white men from New York … from all the elite schools, and they wanted an Appalachian white. That’s how that man got into Yale, I promise you. Same thing with Ron DeSantis, from a small town in Florida. … Baby, that’s also affirmative action and DEI.” —Joy Reid

Re: The Gender Cult

“The people who have ‘transitioned’ have poured a massive amount of emotional and financial investment into their choice, and there is no going back. The last thing that they want to hear — from anyone — is that it is all a fraud, that they’ve wasted all that psychic energy and money, that they’ve harmed themselves via hormones or surgery for no reason. The level of delusion involved in the trans cause, meanwhile, requires pushing on all fronts, to get every claim of the trans advocates accepted and to squash all dissent. If there’s one crack in the edifice, it discredits the entire enterprise.” —Rich Lowry

Re: The Left

“Kimmel: ‘Erika Kirk forgave the assassin, whose motives I covered up, so give me my show back, or you’re not a real Christian.’” —Michael Knowles explaining Kimmel’s “apology”

“Jimmy Kimmel’s return sends a powerful message to little kids EVERYWHERE that if you work hard and wear blackface, liberals will stand up for you as long as you hate Trump.” —Jimmy Failla

“Radical leftists violently reject both free speech and law enforcement. They’re at war with civilization itself.” —Seth Dillon

In Memoriam

“I’m not sure Charlie [Kirk] knew how big his impact was. There’s a saying among the timber workers in Oregon: ‘You never know the height of a tree until it falls.’ And that’s the case with Charlie.” —Dennis Prager
