Quotes for our Times:

Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Schumer to GOP: Please don't do what we were going to do to you.

But Schumer's brand of hypocrisy is particularly egregious. He was not advocating whether this or that individual bill should or should not be filibustered. That goes on all the time. He was advocating changing Senate rules, on an entirely partisan basis, to eliminate the minority party's ability to demand a higher standard of approval for controversial legislation. And then, when Schumer's party loses, he instantly turns around and becomes Mr. Bipartisanship. For that, there should be a word that goes beyond mere hypocrisy.

Mark Lewis, native Texan currently living in Thailand, teacher and author: Kamala’s only true campaign statement.

No, Jesus is definitely not welcome at a Kamala Harris rally — or any other religion besides whatever the Democratic Party elite tells you to believe. And incidentally, when Kamala made her “you’re at the wrong rally” comment, she received loud, long, and sustains applause and cheers. It’s what the Democratic Party, from top to bottom, now believes. It’s the most dangerous enemy we face.

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: Jon Stewart rips into Dems for their obnoxious sugar-coating of the 2024 election.

Stewart opted to take a stab at the Democrats' extreme coping antics, which have veered into embarrassing territory, like how Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) listed few new members of Congress, making sure the bean-counting diversity checklist was mentioned for the record; Ma’am, you lost the election. Who cares? The part-time Daily Show host described liberal America’s reaction to Donald Trump’s win as a total “s**tshow.”

Paul Steinhauser, politics reporter based in New Hampshire: New Republican Governors Association chair says 'focus' is on helping Trump get 'off to a strong start'.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, the new chair of the Republican Governors Association, says a top mission for GOP governors going forward will be helping President- elect Trump. …

'We're ready to keep working as we move into what will be a tough cycle for us in Virginia, in New Jersey [the only two states to hold elections for governor in 2025] and then having 36 races in 2026.'

Kemp emphasized that 'my goal is for us to continue to raise enough money to be competitive. The Democrats are out spending us because they have big check writers, but we have a lot of really dedicated donors. We'll try to continue to build the tent, make sure that we have good candidates and win because our policies are better.'
