The Patriot Post® · Wednesday Short Cuts

For the record: “They sent 15 federal agents to investigate a rope in a garage, meanwhile violent mobs are burning buildings, tearing down statues, and assaulting people, and nothing is done about it.” —Matt Walsh

Food for thought: “Trends happen for a reason. If we have this many people in our country pushing race hoaxes, maybe it’s time we address how much we’ve incentivized being a ‘victim’ of racism?” —Jesse Kelly

Dezinformatsiya, Part I: “A rule of thumb: If you’re lying about nonexistent voter fraud, if you’re limiting polling places, if you’re forcing people to line up to vote in a pandemic, even the old and the infirm, then it seems you’re basically admitting most Americans don’t want you to be president.” —Dan Rather

Dezinformatsiya, Part II: “In 2016, Pres. Trump claimed voter fraud to explain his loss in the popular vote. It was a lie. Now, with horrible polling, he’s trying to delegitimize the vote — through suppression and more lies about voting by mail.” —Dan Rather

Non compos mentis: “Being killed by the police is now the sixth leading cause of death for young men in America, and young black men are 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police, while black women are 1.4 times more likely than white women to be killed by police.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

The buck stops… “By the time a [nursing-home COVID patient] was transferred after nine or 10 days, they were no longer contagious and what all the data says is, the reason you had infections in nursing homes were [sic] because the staff brought in the infection.” —New York Governor Andrew Cuomo

Alternate reality: “We have seen over the last couple of years … a White House enabled by Republicans in Congress and a media structure that supports them and has not just differed in terms of policy but has gone to the very foundations of who we are and who we should be.” —Barack Obama

Alpha jackass: “For something to happen, [Republicans are] going to have to face the reality of police brutality, the reality of the need for justice in policing, and the recognition that there are many, many good people in law enforcement — but not all — and that we have to address those concerns. So far they’re trying to get away with murder, actually — the murder of George Floyd.” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

And last… “When you elevate victimhood as virtue, you will have people tripping over themselves (and their garage door openers) to be oppressed.” —Allie Beth Stuckey
