The Patriot Post® · Thursday Short Cuts

Non Compos Mentis

“Shut up you ugly f**k.” —Democratic National Committee to White House adviser Stephen Miller

“The biggest threat in this world right is actually … MAGA. … MAGA is a fascist, terrorist, imperialist death cult. That’s what it is.” —leftist political pundit Kyle Kulinski

Braying Jennies

“For somebody to back a guy like Trump … that is just the definition of stupidity and racist, in my opinion. … Maybe he needs a little extra padding.” —"The View" cohost Joy Behar on Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introducing President Trump

“For me, [Dart’s introduction] feels personal. I think if you are someone who attacks the community to which I belong, and you support that, that tells me two things — either, one, you agree with his politics and you agree with his biases, or you can … stomach it, and that means you are complicit, in my view.” —"The View" cohost Sunny Hostin

The Warmth of Collectivism

“We will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers, and for building that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.” —New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on his Marxist housing plan

Shot/Chaser

“UFC fights on the White House lawn are a desecration of the White House, America, our history, and the dignity of the office of the presidency.” —OneShared.World founder Jamie Metzl

“Andrew Jackson threw a drunken rager of a party so massive when he was elected that the whole White House had to be repaired.” —Will Tanner

Political Futures

“James Talarico is just another Beto O'Rouke — the latest leftist loser in a long line of leftist losers. As I have previously noted, Talarico is radically out of step with Texas values. From abortion to the border, boys in girls’ bathrooms, the Bible and even barbecue brisket, Talarico is more San Francisco than Texas. That said, Republicans can’t take anything for granted. Democrats believe Talarico is their template to fooling just enough Christian voters to win elections.” —Gary Bauer

“Talarico is much more offensive than someone who just disdains Christianity entirely.” —Frank J. Fleming

Upright

“I view serving in Congress the same as I do jury duty. You should show up, serve your time, and then go home.” —Nevada congressional candidate Marty O'Donnell (R)

For the Record

“What are some of the biggest drivers of violence in these European societies? It’s mass migration. It’s people who haven’t assimilated into European societies who are driving cars into Christmas festivals, killing tons of innocent people. And very often the European response to that is not to say, ‘Oh, well maybe we should get control of our own borders.’ The response is to try to silence and shut down their own citizenry.” —Vice President JD Vance

“Within weeks of this [fraud] task force being established, we’ve seen the largest-ever slate of indictments, recovered funds, search warrants, raids, seizures. investigations, and new legal actions to stop, disrupt, and prevent fraud.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“Cities are cleaning up their streets before the World Cup. Why does it take a special occasion for Democrats to do their job?” —Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)
