Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Wait, that's what Trump said about Kamala that set off this MSNBC panel?

The irony is the press fostered the environment that led to Trump being shot with the incessant and hyperbolic campaign against this man who did nothing wrong other than beating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. If anything, they should be angrier at the former first lady for blowing it — 2016 was an eminently winnable election for Democrats.

Trump calling Kamala a “bum” and setting off liberals is not a shock. It’s entertaining and shows these aren’t serious people in public discourse.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Kamala Harris and DEI.

'We have always fought for equality. But now we are also talking much more rightly about equity, understanding that we must be clear-eyed about the fact that, yes, we want everyone to get an equal amount – that sounds right — but not everyone starts out from the same place. Some people start out on first base; some people start out on third base. And if the goal is truly about equality, it has to be about a goal of say ing everybody should end up in the same place. And since we didn't start in the same place, some folks might need more equita ble distribution.'

It is hard to imagine a major-party nominee for president of the United States saying that. But that is what Vice President Harris said. That is what she believes. Should she become president, she would, of course, have much more power to pursue her goal of equity across the country – a president for DEI.

Hugh Hewitt, host of 'The Hugh Hewitt Show': Morning Glory: The cover-up, the coup, and Kamala.

Prayer is in order because we really don’t want to live under the control of Ka- mala Harris, the Squad and the dark money web behind them. That they are planning a radical agenda isn’t in doubt. If the American Left somehow pulls off a miracle out of the wreckage of their bait-and-switch coup from 'Scranton Joe' Biden back to the San Francisco Democrats, the bell will be tolling for all of us as well as our allies like Israel, NATO and in the Asian Pacific theater.

David Marcus, columnist and author: Harris vs Trump: 2024 election is suddenly about race. That's awful for our country.

Pretending that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy wasn’t working, especially when the alternative was a half awake Joe Biden who couldn’t run an ice cream parlor. So now, Democrats will pretend that America is a fiery cauldron of horrible racism and noble white saviors must man the buckets.

Don’t fall for it, look around your own communities and churches to determine if we live in a hotbed of racism, don’t take the word of cloistered Hollywood celebrities and TV pundits, judge with your own eyes. You will see, their vile vision of this country is nothing more than a politically motivated fiction.
