Quotes for our Times:

Spencer Brown, managing editor for Townhall.com: Joe Biden falls apart on camera during meeting with Israel's President.

What's more, Biden and others in his administration have dodged questions or tried to brush off criticism for the president's failure to welcome Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House for a visit. Florida Governor and 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis slammed the Biden administration for its snubbing of Netanyahu. 'What this Biden administration has done, I think, has been disgraceful,' De-Santis said. 'The way they treat a strong ally like Prime Minister Netanyahu has been disgraceful.'

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Politicize Defense? Never!

The point here is that within the last few years, Democrats on Capitol Hill have inserted plainly political measures into the National Defense Authorization Act and have blocked military promotions en masse for political reasons. Remember that when you hear some of those very same Democrats complaining that today's Republicans are 'politicizing' the defense process.

Chad Wolf, former acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and executive director and chair of the Center for Homeland Security & Immigration at the America First Policy Institute: Biden is cooking the books at the border.

Taken together, the reality is vastly different from the picture the Biden administration is painting. When you combine the illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol, the aliens found inadmissible at ports of entry, the categorical parole illegal aliens, and the gotaways, it turns out that 294,183 illegal aliens, unlawfully entered the U.S. in May, or nearly 9,490 per day.

Nearly all have made their way into American communities because ICE is detaining a record-low number of illegal aliens under the nationwide catch-and-release scheme currently in place.

This is a crisis by design. The American people deserve transparency, and Congress must hold this administration accountable through proper oversight and defunding these unlawful policies.

Dan Gainor, freelance opinion editor for Fox News Digital: The movie the media tried to kill is still going strong.

CBS's Elaine Quijano explained nine years ago, 'Jim Ballard has one mission: to track down child traffickers.' Quijano end ed the piece saying, 'liberating one child at a time.'

'Sound of Freedom' doesn’t just highlight those important victories. It shows how Americans are gradually being liberated from the grip of the left. The press tried hard to squash this film. Instead, it’s going strong promoting the kind of values even liberals used to support – faith and freedom.

Only now, movies like this are succeeding without the legacy media.
