Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Jasmine Crockett's 'Hot Wheels' narrative about Greg Abbott just imploded.

You knew this apology was never going to hold up. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (DTX), the emerging face of the Democratic Party, who I hope becomes a permanent fixture, mocked Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, calling him “hot wheels” at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles last weekend. She has tried to deny that it was about Abbott’s wheelchair. …

No, lady. We knew you meant the wheelchair. There’s no wiggle room here, and only someone who is mentally invalid would think otherwise. Also, there’s social media evidence that you know damn well what you were doing with the “hot wheels” remark.

Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the Media Research Center and executive editor of the blog NewsBusters.org: Team Biden's mistreatment of a pliant press corps.

The national media elitists were never independent enough to stand up for its own prerogatives with Biden or Kamala Harris. These cowardly pols could avoid interviews as aggressively as they desired, and there was no pushback from their supposed foes.

So, we roll our eyes when journalists promote themselves as reliable professionals who are essential to a functioning government. They aren't the ones who will be 'holding government accountable' when it's the government they all picked on Election Day.

Liz Peek, Fox News contributor: Trump, Zeldin bring a key ingredient to America’s 'green agenda'.

Polling from Pew Research last fall showed that the country was split on whether Biden’s climate policies helped or hurt the country, and that '51% of U.S. adults say they’ve felt suspicious of the groups pushing for action on climate change.' That skepticism will doubtless have grown in the wake of revelations that billions of dollars allocated by Congress in the Inflation Reduction Act flowed to Democrat-aligned NGOs in the final weeks of the Biden administration. And, that some of those newly-formed organizations have little history of climate activism, like the $2 billion that flowed to Democratic activist and politician Stacey Abrams.

Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Sanders-AOC comedy tour is sign of far-left desperation.

The American people gave the party of Obama a good fair chance and, for their trouble, wound up in a deeply divided nation overwhelmed by illegal immigration, a crushing cost of living and frankly, a stark and troubling lack of patriotism.

Put another way, the party of Obama has failed, and no matter how many times Sanders & AOC yuk it up for a crowd of liberal college-educated women, that fact and its electoral consequences are not going to change.
