Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: ICE has commenced the great Somali round-up in Minnesota.

All I can say is happy hunting. Also, this state is awash with Somali illegals and gang activity. They’ve created massive Medicaid fraud schemes, which have enriched terrorists, so please spare me the fake news sob stories. I don’t care.

Get them out of here. Dmitri Bolt, graduate of American University's School of Public Affairs and a former intern with the Young America's Foundation's National Journalism Center: Trump officially nullifies all Biden-Era autopen pardons.

While the president made a similar post last week, his latest post includes any 'pardons' or 'commutations.' This means that the protections for people, including Hunter Biden, Rep. Liz Cheney, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and January 6 committee members and aides, may now be called into question.

Former President Biden issued more than 4,245 clemency actions during his presidency, including roughly 2,500 in his final month, the most in U.S. history. Many of those pardons were signed in his final weeks using an autopen.

Marc Siegel, M.D., Senior Medical Analyst for Fox News, and Clinical Professor of Medicine and practicing internist at NYU Langone Medical Center: May God grant a medical miracle to National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe.

Healing is a combination of the physical and the spiritual. Seventy-five percent of physicians surveyed believe that medical miracles occur. Doctors who participate in medical miracles are not always believers to begin with, but many become believers when they experience a miracle firsthand. …

One can only hope and pray for a similar miraculous outcome for Sergeant Wolfe. May the Lord hear our prayers and not take this courageous soldier away from us too soon.

May Sergeant Wolfe return to good health so he may continue to protect us and spread the word of God.

Carol Roth, former investment banker, entrepreneur and author: Americans have never had access to more luxuries, but why do we feel so poor?

A healthy economy needs to be balanced with a healthy society, and you can’t have that if individuals don’t have peace of mind. Financial stress is cited as a reason in almost one out of every four divorces. It correlates with anxiety, depression and physical health issues.

Of course, some of that is self-inflicted, but looking at the percentage of income that basic needs are accounting for today, something is wrong.

Our wealth paradox is one that can be solved with action. We need real reform on getting the government to stop sucking up the wealth of hardworking Americans. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness hangs in the balance.
