The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

Non Compos Mentis

“The criminal system has had a disparate impact on black and brown communities. … So when this person is committing six or seven crimes, I didn’t know his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child. Maybe they’re hungry. … I have no desire to put them in jail.” —Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell

Village Idiot

“It’s easier to talk [in Saudi Arabia] than it is in America.” —comedian Dave Chappelle

The BIG Lie

“It was the tightest, closest presidential election in the 21st century! He does not have a mandate! That is not a mandate! That is not a mandate!” —Kamala Harris

“Stop believing the lies that they are putting out there. … The only person that is harming you right now … is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain, and problems that you are enduring.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

“I think the strengthening of ICE and the way in which their mandate right now is being carried out is literally terrorizing neighborhoods and it is creating a military state where your normal civil rights and civil liberties in this country are no longer protected.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Re: The Left

“The one thing you haven’t heard from Democrats in the midst of all their raving histrionics: telling their radical base to stop violently assaulting ICE agents.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller

“Not to go all Occam’s Razor but perhaps the reason every single Democrat is standing behind Virginia Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones, who fantasized about Republicans getting assassinated and their children dying, is because they more or less agree with him.” —Mollie Hemingway

“The Democrat candidate for AG in Virginia has been fantasizing about murdering his political opponents in private messages. I’m sure the people hyperventilating about sombrero memes will join me in calling for this very deranged person to drop out of the race.” —JD Vance

“The Left crossed the unprecedented bridge first. … They didn’t care if [Trump] spent every last day behind bars, and to bankrupt him and to humiliate him with the E. Jean Carroll thing. … If we don’t fight fire with fire, we’ll lose.” —Megyn Kelly

“The narrowness of the Congressional Democrats’ leadership during the Schumer shutdown is illustrated by where they live. Senate Democratic leader Schumer and House Democratic leader Jeffries both live in Brooklyn. … They are an eight minute drive, 1.1 miles, from each other. … A country of 3,800,000 square miles has a major party congressional leadership that lives in a barely one mile radius. … No wonder the Democrats seem isolated and out of touch with the country. They both live in a city about to elect a big government socialist with weird values. Maybe that explains the Schumer shutdown as a strategy.” —Newt Gingrich

And Last…

“Diversity is not your strength. Your strength is your unity of purpose, your shared mission, your love of country.” —Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
