A compilation of quotations on a variety of issues by national, state and regional writers, well-known personalities, just plain everyday people and from various publications collected by the editors of THE ADVANCE.

Quotes for our Times:

David Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Dems freak out over short-lived Kimmel cancellation, but ignore shocking Google revelation.

Where was this generosity of spirit and love of free speech when journalists like Alex Berenson and scientists like Dr. Scott Atlas were not only censored for over a year, but also berated and trashed by the same liberals crying over Kimmel’s free speech?

Jake Tapper and Democrats like him should remove the gigantic, censorious plank in their own eye, before criticizing the splinter that is Jimmy Kimmel’s slap-on-the-wrist punishment from ABC. …

So, spare us, Jake Tapper, you had a chance to stand against government censorship when it really mattered during COVID, and you blew it. Maybe, just sit this one out.

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Fox News' Greg Gutfeld torches co-host Jessica Tarlov again.

'People who do this stuff are always that way. The question is, who points them in that direction?

Why pick ICE? Why pick Kirk? Why target TV stations and put bombs under Fox trucks? Why vandalize memorials? Why kill kids in Catholic schools?

Two things can be true: A person can be mentally ill and you can be guiding him to that place in his life. That is how brainwashing works.'

Well said, sir. Game. Set. Match.

Kurt Schlichter, conservative political commentator: We totally voted for Trump to tick off tiresome foreigners.

I enjoy appearing on foreign news networks as a commentator, where I’m inevitably paired with their American correspondent, who is, of course, based in Washington, D.C., as opposed to in America. And it blows their minds when I say things like, “We totally voted for what Trump is doing,” “Diversity is a system designed to allow losers who can’t hack to get access to what achievers earn,” “We don’t arrest Americans for mean tweets because we’re civilized,” and – this one always gets a gasp – “America has a terrible assault weapons problem, in that not every law-abiding, healthy adult American citizen has an assault weapon.” I am rarely asked back, even if I’m not tossed off the air.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: In Kamala Harris book, why the petty slurs and slights?

So what's with all that? Let's take it as a fact that Harris just doesn't like [Pennsylvania Gov. Josh] Shapiro. Fine. What does she think will be accomplished by the quibbling and fault-finding?

In the bigger picture, if Harris does indeed harbor hope of being the Democratic nominee in 2028, she can probably forget it, but not for any of the reasons explored in '107 Days.' The simple fact is, the party does not like to re-nominate past nominees who lost, and that seems unlikely to change now. And that is the key fact of 2024 for Kamala Harris: She had her chance, and she lost.
