The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

The BIG Lies
“[The Senate is] pushing, in terms of the SAVE Act, to strip Americans and black communities of their right to vote.” —New York Democrat Congresswoman Yvette Clarke

“Democratic Socialists are fundamentally pro-democracy, and we believe in the ballot box; we believe in respecting the outcomes of elections.” —New York Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Lipstick on a Pig
“I have a local city councilman that has this saying, ‘Woke 1 was crazy,’ and I think that what’s important is that we have to assess what a candidate is saying now.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Braying Jenny
“I think that October 7th was largely inevitable. If you put people in an open-air concentration camp and you deprive them of rights — of dignity, of food, of the ability to live in safety — you have to expect that they are going to not take that for that long.” —DSA cochair Megan Romer

Village Idiots
“[Stephen Miller] will go down in the history books the same way that Joseph Goebbels and other Nazis have gone down because that is this man’s personal ethos.” —Jennifer Welch

“The real boogeyman is not the brown-skinned Abdul or the brown-skinned Zohran. The real boogeymen are white, crusty, pink-arm Republicans like Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk. … The whole communist scare is total bullsh*t.” —Jennifer Welch

“Donald Trump carpet-bombed a little girls’ school in Iran, killing 170 precious little girls, and they actually triple-tapped it. They knew it was a school; they knew it had little girls.” —Kyle Kulinski

“They’ve been calling Abdul El-Sayed an extremist. And I simply don’t want to hear about extremism from a party that’s backing a pedophile, rapist, conman, terrorist.” —Kyle Kulinski

Re: The Left
“Born into a society of unprecedented wealth built on American work ethic, capitalistic imagination, Christian ethical and communal norms, and liberal freedoms, El-Sayed won the generational lottery. Every step of his impressive career was sustained by foundational institutions of Western culture and American exceptionalism. El-Sayed didn’t adopt Third World Marxism because of his color or his circumstances. He is one of the luckiest people to ever live. He is an extremist by choice.” —David Harsanyi

“There’s a reason why there are no ‘pro fascism’ courses in US universities. The same should be true of socialism and communism. All three are authoritarian, anti freedom and fundamentally anti American. To call yourself a socialist is to declare open hostility to the US.” —Nick Freitas

For the Record
“What does the ‘W’ in WNBA stand for? Women. That is not an insult to anyone. It is not hatred. It is not intolerance. It is the very reason the league exists.” —Armstrong Williams

“The WNBA exists because women aren’t athletic enough to compete with men. This used to be so obvious that it didn’t need to be said. Now many involved with the WNBA claim to support biological men competing in women’s sports. If that happened at scale, female basketball players wouldn’t make the cut.” —Victor Joecks

Touché
“After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. … See you at training camp.” —former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom

“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of basketball, professional basketball, so I’ll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well.” —former NBA player Royce White
