Quotes for our Times:

Now you see the Democrat Party and the mainstream media spiraling out of control about a very simple promise: rooting out waste, fraud and abuse from our federal bureaucracy. This is a promise President Trump campaigned on. He is now delivering on it.

White House Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: A top Trump official took a CNN host to school today. It was beyond entertaining.

Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller got into it with CNN’s Brianna Keilar, which lasted almost 15 minutes. It got very heated to the point where I thought Keilar would end the interview. Miller explained government functions, executive appointments, and how those staffers report directly to the president. There’s this aura of illegality regarding what Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are doing. That’s precisely wrong — they’re exposing wasteful spending. It’s no shock since DC is a snake pit, but now we have receipts and solid numbers on how the elite have wasted our taxpayer dollars. It’s something that has popular support, even among Democrats.

Justin Haskins, New York Times bestselling author, senior fellow at The Heartland Institute, and the president of the Henry Dearborn Liberty Network: Shocking government report reveals national debt crisis grew much worse under Biden.

The only way to stop this destructive debt cycle is to slash spending or dramatically increase taxes. Increasing taxes is politically unpopular and horrible for economic growth, so cutting spending is the only reasonable way for the Trump administration and Congress to prevent the current debt crisis from getting even worse.

This is exactly why the recent efforts to slash government waste by Elon Musk and the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are so important. Government spending must be reduced immediately, or our economy is going to be in massive trouble over the next decade.

There is still time to end America’s addiction to debt and save the economy from disaster, but the opportunity won’t last forever.

Liz Peek, Fox News contributor: Vance is right about free speech. That’s what makes EU and US leftists so mad.

If this sounds familiar, it is because Democrats in the U.S. have followed a similar course. Allowing unchecked illegal immigration, adopting idiotic climate policies and hobbling businesses with cumbersome regulations may attract leftist supporters, but the damage done by those policies eventually pushes voters to demand change. That’s what happened last year with the election of President Donald Trump, and that’s what’s taking place in Europe.
