Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall.com: Here's the part of Trump's Chick-fil-A visit that will drive liberals crazy.

What isn’t up for debate is that Biden is bleeding with young voters, especially young black voters, something that Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who arguably saved Biden’s 2020 campaign, discovered this year, much to his annoyance. These folks don’t care about student loan debt, which Biden uses to mobilize support. It’s all about Gaza.

The Babylon Bee, fake news you can trust: American transition to idiocracy running ahead of schedule.

Proponents of the transition to idiocracy cited the recent statements made by Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee regarding the moon and sun as clear evidence the plan is ahead of schedule. Jackson Lee offered a brief comment on the incident. 'What I said is correct,' she explained. 'Once you realize that cars are made of cheese and rain is actually falling tears from crying birds, everything else makes sense.'

At publishing time, Jackson Lee had proposed a plan for NASA to launch a mission to colonize the sun.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: The reality of migrant crime.

In New York, we are seeing the results of the confluence of two Democratic policies — one, the arrival of large numbers of illegal border crossers who were allowed, unvetted, to remain in the United States, and two, the practice of releasing many suspects accused of serious crimes without bail. It's a mess, and it will continue to be a mess. And that is on top of all the other social dislocations and financial burdens created by massive influx of unvetted illegal crossers. It's an issue that is not going away, especially in a presidential election year.

Kurt Schlichter, conservative commentaror, a name partner at a growing Los Angeles trial law firm, a retired Army Infantry colonel with a masters in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College, and a former standup comic: Time to rethink your Never Trumpism.

You’re not teaching the Republicans a lesson by rejecting Donald Trump. The base’s embrace of Donald Trump should be a lesson to the establishment, which created Donald Trump by its refusal to address the problems that mattered to actual voters as opposed to the problems that mattered to actual politicians. If you think you will somehow convince people to go back to the Romney era, that will not happen. Maybe Donald Trump Trump’s not your conservative, but he’s the kind of conservative who isn’t Joe Biden, and dammit, that should be enough.

Derek Hunter, Washington, DC, based writer, radio host and political strategist: Reality keeps ruining the lies democrats are telling about the economy.

If that doesn’t make any sense to you, it’s largely because Joe Biden is an idiot who can’t form a coherent thought. But it’s also because he’s trying to argue that limiting fees for bouncing a check or going over your credit card limit is a good thing while he ignores the reasons people are bouncing checks and going over their credit card limit in the first place. Those reasons, by the way, are his economic policies; his failures.
