Quotes for our Times:

Stephen Moore, senior fellow at FreedomWorks, co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, and a Washington Examiner columnist: Congress is back to serving pork.

By injecting all these slabs of pork into the tax code, we will have reversed all the gains from bipartisan tax reform under President Ronald Reagan. Back then, the goal was to lower tax rates and get rid of all the tax breaks so that the tax system was pro-growth and simple but made everyone pay their fair share. President Joe Biden keeps saying this bill will make the rich pay their fair share — unless the rich people are contributors to the politicians. Then they get tax goody bags from Congress.

Betsy McCaughey is a former lieutenant governor of New York and author: Biden is stabbing nonunion workers in the back.

Unfortunately, Biden and the Democratic Party won't take no for an answer. They're also pushing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which would outlaw right-to-work laws in 27 states, forcing workers to fall into line and pay dues once their workplace is organized. And in April, the White House announced a task force to identify other ways the federal government can push union membership.

Biden claims it's to build the middle class. In truth, it's to benefit the Democratic Party. That's an outrage.

Greg Gutfeld, host of Gutfeld! and cohost of The Five: Media attention to border has nothing to do with compassion or journalism.

You see my point? It would be one thing if the press or Mayorkas had cared about the crisis while we cared about the crisis. You know: if they followed this story, and the government had acted — we wouldn't even be discussing this story. Because it wouldn’t exist.

Fact is — this is just about seizing a story that suits them. They found a boogie man — a cop on a horse. And that’s all they needed to pretend to care, when they really, truly don’t give a damn at all.

Tucker Carlson, host of 'Tucker Carlson Tonight': Biden knew the border crisis was coming, he wants illegal immigrants here.

Parts of our country are already very poor. Leave Martha’s Vineyard sometime, and you’ll discover that. America could be on the brink of getting much poorer. This is the last thing we need. And it was preventable, easily preventable. The U.S. holds tremendous sway over the Mexican economy. With a single phone call, Joe Biden could make sure that the Mexican government sent these migrants back where they came from. But Biden hasn’t called to do that. And he hasn’t because he wants them here, in the United States. So they’re coming. He did this on purpose.
