Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall.com: And the voter group that truly delivered for Trump was…

Hispanic voters have never been high on mass amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens; they care about public safety, they hate illegal immigration, and they’re not a monolithic voter group. They certainly don’t vote based on preconceived notions vis-à-vis race, which professional Democratic strategists thought. It blew up in their faces. It’s not like we didn’t see this coming, either. You can’t say that. In Texas, the border counties saw Trump’s support quintuple between 2016 and 2020. Democrats were either not paying attention or dismissed it. Now, they’re in the hole with a voter group they wrongly thought was theirs.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Who was 'shocked' by Joe Biden's infirmity?

Many in the media were biased in favor of Biden over Trump. When there was something terribly wrong with Biden, they either did not want to know about it or reacted reflexively in a way that was comfortable to them — that is, when Trump or Republicans said something, their instinct was to knock it down. And so it was with Biden's infirmity.

Then came the debate and the professions of shock. Now, a year later, with all the other things that are happening, the political world is still grappling with it, and it is still dominating the news.

David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Federalist and author: Welcome to the Intifada, America.

Let's be honest, though, reality doesn't matter to the 'Free Palestine' crowd. There is a reason Western intifada targets Jewish businesses, Holocaust museums, Hillels, synagogues and innocent people on the streets of D.C. It has nothing to do with 'ceasefires' or aid. The tragedy at the Capital Jewish Museum, where Lischinsky and Milgrim were killed, was not pro-Israel. It wasn't sponsored by Mossad, but by the American Jewish Congress.

Liz Peek, Fox News contributor: Conservative women scare Democrats like Hillary Clinton for good reason.

Last year, a month before the election, a KFF survey found inflation the most pressing concern for women; abortion tied with immigration as number three.

Another problem for Democrats: young mothers are increasingly paying attention to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA initiatives. They don’t want their babies eating carcinogenic food dyes or filling up with microplastics. Kennedy’s assault on Big Food may turn out to be the Trump administration’s most successful outreach to women yet.

Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Jake Tapper chose lying Biden sources over his own eyes.

The age of post-Watergate 'gotcha' journalism has driven the industry off of a cliff. Nobody believes what journalists say because they are just mouthpieces for those in power.

The primary job of the journalist isn’t to pry out some hidden information being kept from people; They aren’t detectives. It is to accurately report on and analyze what we know is happening.
