The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

Tone-Deaf

“Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago.” —Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Memorial Day

The BIG Lie

“There were very limited destruction of property and violence during the [Black Lives Matter] uprising.” —"The View" cohost Sunny Hostin

Dumb & Dumber

“MAGA and Zionism is religious overtaking of government. … I never said I want Jews in internment camps. Literally never said it. I said I want to close all detention centers … and put billionaire American Zionists who are funding the genocidal prison systems involved in trafficking into prison.” —Texas congressional candidate Maureen Galindo (D)

“I trust Texas women to make decisions about their own bodies, to shape their own destinies. … I don’t believe that’s a place for government. … That’s a belief I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith. Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion.” —Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (D)

Lack of Self-Awareness Award

“Democrats operate in an ecosystem defined by reason even in cycles when the electorate is defined by rage.” —DNC autopsy report

Newspeak

“YMCA in liberal city finally cracks down with new rules after trans woman exposed pre-op privates [read: penis] in female locker room.” —Daily Mail headline

Re: The Left

“A new Fox News poll finds that … 65% say America is winning [in Iran]. Only 34% say Iran is winning. Diving deeper into the details of the poll, only four demographic groups believe Iran is winning, and they strongly overlap: Democrats, liberals, Harris voters, and college-educated white women. … The same poll found that half of Democrats believe the assassination attempt against President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was staged.” —Gary Bauer

“A shocking new poll shows that just 16% of men support the Democratic Party. I can’t imagine why. I mean, they have people like James Talarico in Texas, a vegan who wants to take your meat and thinks there are 6 genders. It’s truly a mystery.” —Scott Jennings

“The progressive left & Islam work together because they have a shared goal. They both want to conquer the west. The left thinks they can use Islam. Islam knows the left is too arrogant to realize they will also be conquered.” —Nick Freitas

Political Futures

“Older voters have seen foreign policy success, but all younger voters know on the world stage is failure. The solution is to alter the entire paradigm, and flip the script on its head, by demonstrating unambiguous success on the world stage.” —Josh Hammer

Upright

“The challenge facing the West today is not whether immigration should exist. Immigration will always exist. The real question is whether leaders still possess the wisdom and courage to preserve social cohesion while remaining humane, lawful and fair. Because compassion without order eventually produces chaos. And order without compassion eventually produces cruelty. Great nations require the discipline and maturity to uphold both simultaneously.” —Armstrong Williams

“If you want to lower the price of housing for Americans, the conversation should start with lowering demand by deporting the illegals who shouldn’t be here and severely restricting immigration.” —Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX)

For the Record

“Iran is trying to set up a tolling system in international waterway. That’s just not acceptable. It can’t happen. If that were to happen in the Straits of Hormuz, it will happen in five other places around the world.” —Secretary of State Marco Rubio

And Last…

“Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.” —Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf (1934-2012)
