Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Black voter on MSNBC: the Kamala Harris agenda is already 'killing us'.

But inflation and the price of energy, which will ruin fixed-income seniors, will get worse if Democrats win this year’s elections. Their agenda is anti-job, anti-work, anti-law and order, anti-energy, and anti-American. What does Kamala stand for? Currently, it’s recycled failed Biden policies, which perhaps explains why she’s hiding like a little schoolgirl from the media.

David Marcus, columnist and author: Donald Trump was almost assassinated one month ago. Our media has moved on. Voters have not.

July 13, 2024, was a 'where were you' kind of moment, like the killing of JFK or the moon landing, and while things like Tim Walz’s stolen valor or JD Vance’s cat lady comments may fade quickly from the public mind, the shooting of Trump will not.

The nation changed one month ago, an innocence was lost, and everyone can feel it. The stakes of this election are no longer just about which side will win and get to set policies, but also whether we can peacefully coexist at all.

But one thing is certain, for millions of Americans stepping into ballot boxes in November, one image from this campaign season will outshine all others, and when they recall it they will be reminded of Trump’s appeal to fight, fight, fight.

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Should voters feel joy when paying the bills is harder than ever?

But what about everybody else? For those families making trade-offs to meet their most basic needs — can joy pay their electric bill? The water bill? The rent? Insurance on the house? Kamala Harris will spend the coming weeks trying to persuade those voters to reward her for the dismal circumstances her time in office has brought. She will have many advocates, in the Democratic Party and in the media, cheering her on. But for millions of American voters, the bills are still the bills, and there's nothing joyous about that.

Hugh Hewitt, host of the Hugh Hewitt show: Kamala Harris is not ready to be president.

It is her tenure as Vice President that should matter the most to voters, and neither she nor the president she served has accomplished anything of lasting positive significance. They spent a vast amount of money the country didn’t have on projects that have not come to fruition. That spending unleashed ruinous inflation. They failed to secure our southern border and more than 10 million migrants have crossed it without invitation since Biden and Harris assumed office. Their record on national security is awful and the support originally offered to Israel after the massacre of 10/7 waxed and since last year has steadily waned. The influence of America on the world has never been this low.

The resume of actual accomplishments by Harris isn’t there and the record that is there is terrible.
