Is J.D. Vance the right man

J.D. Vance is the man Republicans have been praying for since the day Donald Trump stormed to the party’s presidential nomination five years ago. He has a lot of the traits conservatives liked about Trump: Vance, too, is a political outsider with proven appeal to an audience beyond politics, thanks to his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy. Like Trump, Vance offers himself as an avatar for the people who have been discarded by globalization and demonized by a left-wing media and education establishment. And he is as radical as Trump — maybe more so — in his willingness to reject the merely liberal side of American conservatism. Trump defied elite orthodoxy

More navel-gazing from the “conservatives”. He doesn’t like Trump because of his noxious behavior..horrors! I doubt if J.D. Vance will do well except with wine-swilling, suburban women and pubbies like Mitt Romney.

FTA: Vance himself told NPR in August 2016 that he was thinking of voting for the independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin because ‘I can’t stomach Trump. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.’ For me....that makes this guy a non-starter. Full stop, no fixing it.

"The Spectator was established in 1828, and is the best-written and most influential magazine in Britain. In 2018, we launched our monthly global edition of the magazine, bringing to the rest of the world the same insight, original thought the British have enjoyed for 190 years. The overall media landscape was missing something — a publication filled with ideas and wit that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Clearly readers agree."

Taxing endowments? Where does that fit? As long as government oversteps it's bounds to go after our political opposition it's OK? Isn't that at least in part the kind of thinking that we are trying to stop? Don't get me wrong, if there's a genuine breach of any legal statute that's fine. But using the power to tax as a political weapon is unacceptable.

Some people really don't want Trump, but the fact is Trump is in the driver's seat Look what certain people did to this country to get rid of Trump. They used a pandemic to wreck the United States! They tried to impeach the President twice on false charges. These people are monstrous corrupt tyrants. The most important thing we need is someone that stands up for America and stands up to the lying media, the Communist Democrats, the backstabbing Republicans, and their foreign allies. If it would have been someone other than Trump, they would have withered under the assault. Keep trying to find someone better than Trump! Doubt there is anyone out there.

I have found him to be insipid. Whoever we elect to undo the enormous damage Biden & Co are doing to every segment of our society and economy is going to need a spine of steel. ONLY Trump has shown that fearlessness. I am one of those who wished he had had an editor who could articulate responses to the jerks and boobs out there who took advantage of every verbal salad and then remained unable to set the record straight (think Charleston). Any candidate will face the same corrupt media, the liars, who helped get the old dolt Biden elected, with that ort field of Obaba acolytes and propagandists swirling around him. There just aren't very many people (and their family) who can withstand the cruel invectives and flood of lies day in and day out. Vance wouldn't last a day under it... and the nation would not be able to begin recovering from the destructive policies being unleashed by the day.

Vance is not running for President. They’re talking about the Ohio Senate Race. How many of you disliked Trump in 2016 and before. Vance is a heck of a lot better than any Democrat. Read his book Hillbilly Elegy.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia Friday over their passing of a law to ensure election integrity and security. President Biden has been highly critical of the new law comparing it to Jim Crow. George Washington University Law Professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sat down with "Fox & Friends" Saturday to analyze the DOJ lawsuit. "I'm highly skeptical and I think they may ultimately regret this move. It could indeed clarify this issue in a way the Biden administration does not want," Turley said.

Judges appointed by former President Trump have stymied President Biden's policies on multiple fronts in the early months of the new administration, taking what experts say is a less "deferential" approach to executive power as judges appointed by past presidents. "What you’re seeing is that ‘pen and phone’ initiatives are running into legal trouble right off the bat," Ilya Shapiro, the vice president and director of the libertarian Cato Institute's Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, told Fox News. "Trump appointed a lot of judges — more than anyone in one term than Jimmy Carter, for whom Congress created 152 new judgeships to fill

Vice President Kamala Harris was the recipient of sharp criticism Friday following her border press conference in El Paso, Texas, in which she blamed the Trump administration for the migrant crisis taking place there. While answering questions from reporters, Harris proceeded to list various border policies implemented in El Paso by the Trump administration, claimed they had "disastrous effects," and praised the Biden administration for work she claimed alleviated the crisis. "First of all, what is happening here in El Paso really is, in many ways, highlights many of the facets on the issue of immigration.

Something strange is afoot in the party of Jefferson. With the Democrats still spinning after the collapse of their election bill — and progressives furious with the White House’s seeming lack of commitment to that effort — the president has already pivoted, announcing a plan to tackle the violent crime wave besetting American cities. And the Vice President? She’s on her way to the border, 91 days, two countries, and countless laughs after it was first assigned by the boss.

It's a very basic concept of journalism: Cover the stories that impact your viewers and readers most, the stories they most care about. But for one very big story, there's been relative silence from our national media, just passing mentions. It is the skyrocketing violent crime that is paralyzing many major American cities while prompting record numbers of police officers either resigning or retiring. Here's a look around the country at what many cities are dealing with: New York City: Despite having the country's largest police force, the city’s murder rate is up 48 percent over 2019 (pre-pandemic), while shootings have increased by 107 percent in two years.

"It's a long tradition in Rhode Island." That was Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's response to a question from a local journalist about his membership of the Bailey's Beach Club, a private and all-white beach club in tony Newport. That a person of leadership in America belongs to such a club is outrageous. That a Democratic Senator who has spent quite a bit if time denouncing systemic racism would is doubly so. "We can and must do better to root out systemic racism in its many forms and meet America's full promise of justice for all," the Senator said in a press release last year. The hypocrisy is enraging.

In a nation of hundreds of millions of people, each with their own thoughts, beliefs, and ideas, there will be those with ugly thoughts committing ugly deeds. Racial prejudice will to a certain degree never be truly eradicated. And yet, we have done an excellent job as a country in substantially minimizing these attitudes socially, and even ensuring racial prejudices are eliminated at an institutional level within government. Although we are not perfect, in regard to race and opinions about race, we are living in the best of times; our nation is not recognizable as the place where segregation ruled throughout the South as recently as the 1960s.

President Biden repeatedly framed his campaign and his administration as defending “the rule of law” after what he and others portrayed as the lawless reign of President Trump. The image of Biden as restoring the Justice Department back into the good graces of the law and the courts is reinforced regularly in the media. What is not being as fully reported is that Biden actually has racked up a litany of notable court losses that may now exceed those of his predecessor in his first six months. Indeed, the Biden administration has been found to have violated the Constitution in a surprising array of cases in a surprisingly short period

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Saturday shared a celebratory message for Juneteenth, a new federal holiday, celebrating the emancipation of Black slaves after the Civil War. "Today is Juneteenth, a special celebration of the fact that our country strives each and every day to make good on its promise to protect the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all men and all women who are created equal," he tweeted. The tweet emphasizes the freedoms listed in the Declaration of Independence — the same freedoms Americans fought for during the Civil War — rather than the political differences the country is currently grappling with.

As a candidate, Joe Biden’s number one promise was to “unite” America. Yet in his first months as president, his number one priority has been to divide our country by race and gender at every turn. There is no clearer example than the Biden administration’s new effort aimed at indoctrinating America’s schoolchildren with some of the most toxic and anti-American theories ever conceived. It is vital for Americans to understand what this initiative would do, what drives it and, most importantly, how we can stop it. For decades, the America-blaming left has been relentlessly pushing a vision of America that casts our history, culture, traditions, and

Some 250 years after the Declaration of Independence declared that "all men are created equal," and almost 60 years after Martin Luther King dreamed that his children would "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," the federal government announced it wants to teach American children that they are not equal, and that skin color does matter. Under the misleading name of "anti-racism," the Department of Education has proposed to direct federal funds to the teaching of racial discrimination in America's elementary and secondary school systems—to encourage students to identify and to treat others differently according to race.

As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism
