Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall.com: Here's what Neil Young is trying to get Spotify employees to do because of Joe Rogan.

Read the room, grandpa. No one cares. I would even argue that a lot of Spotify’s employees had to Google who you even were, but that’s not the point. You got what you wanted, right? Your music is gone — now go away. What else is there? Is there anything else? Did this plan backfire on you? Did you really think Spotify was going to choose you over Rogan? That’s laughable if true. Rogan has a sweetheart $100 million deal with Spotify. It’s making them tons of cash. And losing Rogan is simply not an option. He’s too big to fail. He’s uncancellable. You got what you wanted, Neil. You got your music removed. Now, get the hell out of here.

Jim Daws, writer for American Thinker: Stacey Abrams and voter suppression.

Abrams, who was neck deep in tax and credit card debt, has turned her voter suppression scam into a lucrative position as head of a non-profit, the ironically named Fair Fight Action, that raked in tens of millions from leftist billionaires and major corporations terrified of crossing the woke mob. In addition to her salary — her mountain of debt has been vaporized — critics accuse Abrams of using her coerced windfall to promote her own political profile and another run for governor.

Tucker Carlson, host of FOX News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight: How long before protests like the 'Freedom Convoy' come to America?

Now, people at MSNBC might not be aware of this, but our country has no domestic Botox production, along with vitamin C and antibiotics. It's one of the lifesaving pharmaceutical products we have recklessly offshored. So if the trucks stop delivering, the Botox stops coming and suddenly your morning television anchors are going to look like they're 58 years old, which actually they are.

Could that happen? Is it impossible? No, it's not impossible. The people in charge aren't really thinking this through. Most of the time, trends start the United States and they move north to Canada, but this time, the opposite could happen.

Richard Arrington, author and freelance writer on political matters: Black History and the democrats.

President Biden said of desegregating schools in 1977 that it would cause his children to "grow up in a racial jungle." In May 2020, Biden, appearing on a radio show, made the now infamous statement that if they were unsure of whether to vote for him or Trump, then, “you ain’t black!” The Democrats have manipulated race so long that they take the black vote for granted.

We are a diverse nation, we each have our own uniqueness and culture, that when added together are much better than our individual selves. Black history — American history — should be studied, and the failures reviewed so they are not repeated, we must learn the lesson of American, e pluribus unum: out of many, one.
