Quotes for our Times:

Kurt Schlichter, conservative political commentator: The nightmare of America after Kamala wins.

No, Kamala will imagine that she can wave her wand and make her opponents simply disappear. But patriotic Americans are not going to disappear. Patriotic Americans are not going to give in. Patriotic Americans are not going to give up and submit to her. What you will see is red states revolting, with Florida, Texas, and others simply refusing to be part of her scheme to turn into Cuba, Jr. And then she will push, and she will push too hard and too brutally, and there will be a backlash, and there will be violence at a level that, if you were familiar with history, will shock you. Civil wars are the least civil of wars.

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: The media is freaking out over Trump's garbage truck stunt.

The liberal media is losing their minds again. This time, it’s over Donald Trump’s garbage truck stunt in Wisconsin. Joe Biden and the Democrats are now doing damage control after the president referred to Trump supporters as trash. Even worse, he made these remarks during Kamala’s DC rally. What should have been media coverage about the vice president’s final argument for her campaign got run over with a train as the media asked for reactions to Biden’s remarks. It’s sheer incompetence.

Jonathan Turley, Fox News Media contributor and the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University: Defiant billionaire Bezos could radically change journalism as we know it.

Few can stand up to this movement other than a Bezos or a Musk. However, the left has long created their own monsters by demanding absolute fealty or unleashing absolute cancel campaigns. Simply because Bezos wants his newspaper to restore neutrality, the left is calling for a boycott of not just the Post but all of his companies. That is precisely what they did with Musk.

A Bezos/Musk alliance would be truly a thing to behold. They could give the push for the restoration of free speech and the free press a real chance to create a beachhead to regain the ground that we have lost in the last two decades.

David Marcus, columnist and author: Is Biden rooting for his vice president, or his legacy?

Who knows what lies in the hearts of men? Maybe Biden is rooting for Harris as hard as Rudy Giuliani is rooting for the Yankees, but neither situation is going well.

It is impossible to know if Biden is intentionally trying to sabotage his own vice president, but he is as savvy a political player as they come, mental decline or not. His legacy is on the line, and quite frankly, it looks a lot better if she loses.
