Quotes for our Times:

Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Democrats must stop their deadly antifascism cosplay.

Instead of taking responsibility for their dangerous rhetoric, Democrats are doubling down on the delusion that they are in some grand operatic battle with the forces of evil and fascism in the form of nicely dressed college students discussing Thomas Jefferson.

If there is anyone on the Left, in politics, journalism or an influencer group, who is ready to stand up and say this dehumanization of conservatives has to stop, please, please do it now. Do it before another innocent life is snuffed out in the name of twisted leftist ideology.

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Wait, Biden's FBI was spying on Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA?

FBI Director Kash Patel is testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee right now. Mr. Patel is testifying on the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, which occurred on September 10. Kirk was doing his Q& A session when he was shot and killed. Suspect Tyler Robinson was apprehended two days later. Yet, there’s a new nugget to this story: the FBI under Biden was spying on Turning Point USA, the student organization that Kirk founded. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said a whistleblower has come forward, and that he hopes he can release the affidavits to that effect later today.

This operation, codenamed ‘Arctic Frost,’ also targeted the Republican National Committee and Republican Attorneys General Association, though it was supposedly greenlit to investigate Donald Trump—what else is new. Mission creep thy name is the Biden DOJ. And political retribution as well.

Liz Peek, Fox News contributor: Charlie Kirk urged kids to dream big. Democrats tell them the dream is rigged.

Surveys have shown that conservatives are generally happier than liberals. That is not surprising. Conservatives love God, family and country; that is more uplifting than loving the state.

Charlie Kirk embraced the American Dream and spread a message of optimism and patriotism to his followers. Young people flocked to him and even in death, he will inspire millions to embrace free speech, love of family, the Christian church and the core values that built this country.

Believe in the future, believe in yourself – that was Charlie Kirk’s message. And it is not what Democrats preach.

Pastor Corey Brooks, founder and Senior Pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago and the CEO of Project H.O.O.D.: Charlie Kirk's loss is personal. Here's how he gave me hope and strength.

As I reflect on Charlie Kirk’s life, I’m reminded of his unwavering belief in the American Dream, a dream he fought for not just for himself but for all of us. Let us honor him by carrying that dream forward, undeterred by the darkness of this moment.

Charlie, we love you, God bless you, and we will keep fighting.
