Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall.com: New polling data confirms a brutal fact dems refuse to accept.

On 2Way, Mark Halperin spoke with Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik about the party’s dismal approval ratings, where he also noted that the electorate sees Democrats as cultural elitists. They weren’t going to vote for people who looked down on them, and that’s likely not going to change. Democrats slobbering over an MS-13 gangbanger who was deported for being in this country illegally who also might have beaten his wife is another example of this party being hopeless in finding a coherent message. It’s all catered to the most unhinged sects of America.

Terence P. Jeffrey, editor-in-chief of CNSNews: What democratic leaders did not say about Pope Francis.

On Sept. 15, 2021, while on a flight, Pope Francis also told reporters that abortion is murder and is like hiring a hit man.

'Abortion is more than an issue. Abortion is murder,' he said, according to a Catholic News Agency transcript.

'It's a human life, period,' he said. 'This human life must be respected. This principle is so clear. And to those who can't understand it, I would ask two questions: Is it right, is it fair, to kill a human life to solve a problem? Scientifically, it is a human life. Second question: Is it right to hire a hitman to solve a problem?'

David Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: What America owes Elon Musk after DOGE.

As strange as sympathy for the wealthiest man to ever live might seem, no amount of money can purchase respect or a glowing legacy, both of which Musk has risked, and in the case of liberal opinion, sacrificed, at least for now.

Elon Musk and DOGE team sit down with Bret Baier in 'Special Report' exclusiveVideo Elon Musk has served as a heat shield, or lightning rod, throughout Trump’s tumultuous and historic second first 100 days. In fact, at the protests I have covered, it is Elon, not the Donald, who is the target of the most ire.

Now, the lunatic left will have to find a new public enemy No. 1. They won’t have Elon Musk to kick around anymore.

Liz Peek, Fox News contributor: Democrats have a Joe Biden problem. And there's no way to fix it.

A new Gallup poll finds confidence in Democratic Congressional leadership at an all-time low of 25%; that compares with 39% confidence in GOP leadership. A CNN poll from last month shows Democrats’ overall approval rating also hitting record lows.

Unfortunately, Biden wants to earn some money, and raking in $300,000 per speech is one way to do that. Though there evidently have not been many takers, Biden will likely continue to show up. That will add to Democrats’ angst and may push them to undertake less subtle encouragements.

The DNC posted an Easter greeting on X that included photos of four former presidents and their families but omitted Biden. That stings.

Will it convince Biden to exit the public arena? Doubtful. After all, he’s so out of touch with reality that he still thinks he could have beaten Donald Trump.
