The Patriot Post® · Friday Short Cuts

Upright: “If the central transgender assertion is a lie … then God forgive us if we utter a word in its favor. … What is at stake … is the irreplaceable right to say of one thing, ‘true,’ and of another, ‘false’ — to define the basic realities from which our politics proceed. A man is a man. A woman is a woman. Let us not pretend otherwise.” —Graham Hillard

Friendly fire: “This is not the time for milquetoast incrementalism. It just isn’t. But with that being said, nothing about what I just said would provide a justification for a massive socialist economic-policy platform. [It’s] just not needed. There’s no need to lie to voters right now.” —Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) on the Green New Deal

Friendly fire II: “Should [Democrats] continue to look at things through a 2019 lens, from 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago? Otherwise who would want to run for president? No one is perfect. If Democrats keep like this, good luck. Hashtag Trump 2020.” —CNN’s Don Lemon

The BIG Lie: “When anti-choice politicians limit access to reproductive care, women die.” —Hillary Clinton (You know what does get people killed? Abortions. And refusing to protect government officials before and during a terrorist attack on a U.S. consulate.)

Sore loser: “We had this little election back in 2018. And despite the final tally and the inauguration and the situation we find ourselves in, I do have one very affirmative statement to make: We won.” —failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams

Braying Jenny: “While there’s [sic] still those that think [Trump will] never be impeached, you never know. So, let me leave you with this: Despite the fact that we haven’t gotten the [Mueller] report yet, and we’re going after it, and it may be subpoenaed, that it is being worked on, I’m still saying impeach 45.” —Rep. Maxine Waters

Braying Jackass: “Repeat after me: the NRA is not America. They are just noise. A noise that doesn’t even echo what their members believe. I do not fear them. And we will soon defeat them.” —Rep. Eric Swalwell

Alpha Jackass: “God does not love this world. God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on no cross. There was no Calvary for that Jesus. … I represent the Messiah. I represent the Jesus and I am that Jesus.” —Louis Farrakhan

And last… “If we killed criminals on death row using the same methods we use to kill babies in the womb it would be considered cruel and unusual punishment.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
