The Patriot Post® · Tuesday Short Cuts

Re: The Left

“The greatest threat to our democracy is not Trump voters or parents protesting at school board meetings, but the permanent Washington elite which has weaponized the govt and teamed up with corporate media to intimidate and silence those who dare to disagree with them.” —Tulsi Gabbard

“Leave us alone, you centralizers of power. You worshippers of Gaia. You sacrificers of the wealth and property of others. You would-be planetary savers. You Machiavellian pretenders and virtue-signallers, objecting to power, all the while you gather it around you madly. Leave us alone!” —Jordan Peterson

Climate Snake Oil

“If you are moderate income, today you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. Those solar panels can be financed, so you don’t have to have the big outlay at the front.” —Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (“GOP just needs to run ad after ad of Granholm telling the poors to buy solar panels and electric cars to save money.” —Erick Erickson)

Missing Context

“Americans all across the country are back at work in record numbers. [Twenty-two] states — a record high — have unemployment rates at or below 3 percent, and 14 states now have their lowest unemployment rate on record. This is the latest sign that my Administration’s economic plan is working.” —Joe Biden, who failed to mention that most of those states are Republican-led

Dear Joe

“The White House ‘claiming victory for making things worse’ approach to touting gas prices is as pathetic as it is out of touch. If Biden and Democrats actually cared, they would end their war on American energy producers and be honest with the American people.” —RNC spokesman Will O'Grady

With Friends Like These…

“I’m going to be very focused on working to ensure that we do everything we can not to elect election deniers. We’ve got election deniers that have been nominated for really important positions all across the country. I’m going to work against those people. I’m going to work to support their opponents.” —Liz Cheney

No Child Left Behind

“This is a national security crisis. When so many of our children are not learning, we’re in trouble. We need STEM education. Heavens, we need children who can just read and write. How about that? And add one plus one. We don’t have that.” —Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears

Hyper Hypocrisy

“We urge you to take immediate action to address any threats of violence against law enforcement that appear on your company’s platforms. … Violent rhetoric and personal threats and attacks toward law enforcement officers have deadly consequences.” —House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and House National Security Subcommittee Stephen Lynch (D-MA) in letters to social media platforms (“So, where were these protest letters back in 2020 when their Marxist Black Lives Matter radicals and antifa movement of self-styled ‘anti-fascist’ fascists constituencies were burning down inner-cities, battling and murdering cops, all while being stirred into violent frenzies by Democrats? Social media platforms were instrumental in fomenting the ‘summer of rage’ violence.” —Mark Alexander)

And Last…

“So if She-Hulk gets mad enough, she can open a pickle jar by herself?” —Frank J. Fleming
