Quotes for our Times:

The Babylon Bee, fake news you can trust: Judge orders Trump to stop noticing that the people trying to put him in jail are democrats.

In a new pinned post on Truth Social, Trump said, 'The court has ordered me NOT to discuss how everyone trying to put me in jail is a Democrat and I will honor that request ;)' Though prosecutors have demanded Trump stop exploiting the obvious loophole in his gag order, Judge Merchan was forced to admit that there was 'nothing in the rules that says he can't talk about the gag order.'

At publishing time, Trump had been hit with a new order requiring him to be fitted with an actual gag.'

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: When a 'difficult conversation' threatens free speech.

Here's the thing. University of Maryland officials should have been appalled that protesters stopped a member of Congress from speaking on campus. They should have vowed to take strong measures to punish those who shouted [Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland] down and stop such demonstrations in the future. But they didn't. In fact, [president of the University of Maryland, Darryll Pines] seemed somewhat pleased by what happened to Raskin's speech.

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Who a global warming activist blamed for natural disaster shows this isn't a serious movement.

Take Ayisha Siddiqa, a Pakistani American green warrior who pins the blame for natural disasters on white people. What does that have to do with anything? Also, for a movement already seen as unserious, making this a race issue doesn’t seem like a savvy public relations ploy, not that I’m complaining

Ashley Hayek, Executive Director of America First Works and former Trump 2020 Campaign Coalitions Director: Don’t let Biden redefine women.

The real question we must ask ourselves as women is, will we let this administration fool us into allowing a second term of Americalast, woman-last policies? Will we allow our daughters to be subjected to men in their bathrooms or locker rooms? Will we allow this leftist administration to redefine what a woman is? Will we allow men to parade as women to be role models for our children?

The anti-women agenda they’re promoting cannot be normalized. We must stop standing by on the sidelines. Let’s rally together and demand that our government protect women in this country. Let’s ensure that today, and for generations to come, our country remains a safe and fair place for all our daughters.

Liz Peek, Fox News contributor and former partner of major bracket Wall Street firm Wertheim & Company: Joe Biden doesn't care if his policies hurt the Average Joe.

The ongoing explosion of government spending under Biden, which is inflating the entire economy and counteracting Fed Chair Jay Powell’s efforts to rein in inflation, has hurt everyone. But higher prices for electricity, gasoline and food don’t mean much to the elites supporting Joe Biden. It’s the Little Guy who’s taking it on the chin. Don’t be surprised if they elect Donald Trump come November.
