J.D. Vance, You’re Hired

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 4/19/2022 9:37:30 AM

Former President Donald Trump made the most courageous decision of his post-presidency so far by endorsing J.D. Vance for the GOP Senate Primary in Ohio. Vance is an authentic representative of America’s populist tradition, contending against a field of establishment phonies. For the discontent that propelled Trump to the White House in 2016 to be addressed, Vance must find his way into the halls of the Senate. And thanks to Don’s nod, he likely will. A disclosure: Vance and I are friends. (Snip) The Vance I’ve gotten to know over the past few years has something few politicians possess: namely, depth of soul.

Comments:

The last time I posted about Vance, there were a lot of comments about his being anti-Trump. Indeed he was, at first. But he paid attention to reality, turned his opinion around, and *apologized*. I believe he has more integrity, courage, and smarts than most politicians and I hope he makes it.

I've seen Vance's name in various stories for quite a while, but never bothered to pay much attention. I wish I had done so because now I'm having a heck of a time sorting it all out. PDT's endorsement certainly requires a close look, but I don't know where to start!

Vance is a political chameleon, able to change color as necessary to match the political zeitgeist. He's smart enough to realize that he has to distance himself from the GOPe if he ever hopes to advance a political career. In that He's like who he hopes to replace, Rob Portman, and for that matter a number of the GOPe members of the Senate (McConnell, Graham, etc) who suddenly turn right 12-18 months before the end of their current terms in order to show that they've "felt the heat and seen the light" (hat tip to the late Everett Dirksen) and fool some of the people some of the time. This seems to be recurrent theme here. "Oh, he's changed! He gets it now!." No, he doesn't.

for an idea who J.D. Vance really is, read his book, it's an excellent portrayal of American life in Appalachia with nothing held back - the guy is real, flesh and blood American and he deserves to be a Senator from Ohio - everything he got in life, he worked for and deserves, especially a win for a Senate seat representing Ohio

Thanks, #2. I read Vance's book and noted that he was especially in awe of several Bushie people (Mitch Daniels is his bero). He works for a hedge fund in Columbus, or did. That meant he was hanging around with elitists, and I think he loves it. Being on Tucker's show all the time must boost his ego something fierce. I admire his overcoming his background, but that doesn't mean he is senatorial material. One Rob Portman was enough. I am voting for Josh Mandel, because when he was Ohio Treasurer he opposed John Kasich on Medicaid expansion. He has said all along he believes the 2020 election was stolen.

I'm glad I don't have to make the decision to vote for him because it would be tough. He seems like the best option, but I do not trust him. He was against Trump until he realized that would work against him in his quest (for?), and so he changed his mind and said (pretended?) he was for Trump. He's a Fox contributor and I imagine he will win. It's all so discouraging. Because it's difficult to get rid once they're in there. So tired of being fooled.

Josh Mandel has “ sealed” divorce papers. And we all know they will magically become unsealed if he gets the nomination. How many times do we have to see this act with Reputation candidates who have messy divorces? And they always lose.

We have started to be wary when they all of a sudden awaken to appreciating Trump WHEN they lust for a Senate seat. the Bushies have people everywhere, beholden to them because of political employment to get running for those incumbent RINO seats like Portman’s. Its happening with Oz too. Can any of Vance’s supporters point us to WHEN Vance publicly came out supporting Trump? Was it when he was about to announce his run or after he did?

"Good evening to the thousands of you who are joining us from around the country," Doug Emhoff, the Hollywood lawyer serving as Kamala's husband, intoned. The sign language interpreter on the small box next to him spread her arms in what was either an attempt to 'sign' Passover or a gesture of disbelief and contempt. The "People's Seder" was about to begin with its apostrophe in the right place and heart in the wrong place. As the Biden White House rushes to enable Iran's nuclear program and the modern day pharaonic mullahs plotting, like the original, to wipe out the Jews, it put on a "People's Seder" to distract American Jews
Masks fail their latest test 11 replies

The CDC just decided to continue the transportation mask mandate for another two weeks. Dr. Bob Wachter, Chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF, concurs with the CDC decision. This doesn’t prove that masks work. Instead, it proves that the CDC, Wachter, and most mainstream scientists (who claim masks work) are incapable of differentiating solid science from a sloppy study. There have been only two randomized trials to test whether public policy using masks to mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2 can reduce the spread. (Snip) But the second one, in Bangladesh, claimed that masks worked. We challenged Yale Professor Jason Abaluck, the first author of that study, to defend their study.

The GOP-E is notoriously skittish about the Culture War that’s been raging in America. The GOP-E preference, we’ve been told, based on fairly indisputable evidence, is to manage the devolution of America into a Social Democrat utopia—managers of the Revolution. And they’ve been paid well to take on that role, so it’s small wonder that so much of the GOP-E were frankly appalled at winning. It wasn’t just Trump—it was all the deplorables coming out, getting involved, voting. The whole thing. That’s the story behind what investigations of Election 2020 are documenting—the coup against Trump was enabled in no small part not only by DC Establishment GOPers

Have you ever wondered why the corruption in the CDC hasn’t been exposed by whistleblowers? In response to my latest whistleblower request, I received the following message from a doctor which I wanted to share with you: I have had some contact with people who would fit your search - however, it appears they are unwilling to share information because of the danger of offering the information. We have a client whose daughter had worked for the CDC but refused to sign an agreement to withhold information. She left her job and fled to an undisclosed location in .

The Washington Post faced backlash on Tuesday for what many saw as a bizarre job posting on Twitter. The Washington Post PR team posted a link to a job listing site to advertise for a reporter in Texas to track and document conservative culture. "Job posting: The Washington Post is looking for an enterprising reporter based in Texas to document life in red state America and develop a new beat mapping the culture, public policies and politics in a region shaped by conservative ideology," the Washington Post PR tweeted. Conservatives called out the post for appearing to treat Texas as a different country for its conservative lean. "Is this a joke?" opinion
Stunning: McCullough On Reverse Transcription 16 replies

We wrote previously about the Swedish study (University of Malmo) that concluded that Pfizer’s mRNA injections do, in fact, alter human DNA—reverse transcription. (Snip) However, here’s a video embedded in a tweet that features Dr. Peter McCullough discussing the implications. The video is only two minutes long, but it’s couched in readily understandable language. And it is stunning in its implications. What could be very interesting about this is that it seems these results are caused by the injections, rather than the virus itself. These are criminals we’re faced with:

Tucker Carlson opened his show on Monday night with the story of the mass lockdown in Shanghai, with more than 24 million people turned into starving prisoners in their homes, as the government adds in the singular cruelty of slaughtering their pets. This is ostensibly in the name of a “Zero COVID” policy, but that’s nonsense. The real goal is to bring the citizens of Shanghai to heel lest they start to pose a threat to Xi Jinping’s and the Party’s dominance. We’ve learned a lot about COVID since China released it to the world in 2019. It’s most dangerous to the very elderly and those with comorbidities.

There has been some good news on the legislative front in the past week. But unfortunately, there are still a number of bills and regulatory policies pending that could change the very nature of a pandemic response worldwide. Policy that would allow public health to easily gain control of government during a bio-threat emergency. Policy that might allow public health to be weaponized for other purposes. What happens when emergency powers are written so that they can be granted for a severe flu season?

Science is in its worst state since the burning of Giordano Bruno (1600) and the trial and conviction of Galileo (1633). The wounds it has suffered are largely self-inflicted. Science advances by questioning the current state of knowledge and by attempting to fill the gaps identified by examination of the germane data pertinent to the discipline. Any attempt to stifle vigorous—even if heated—debate is an assault on science. Over the past three decades dissent from what some consider orthodox scientific theories has been ridiculed rather than refuted.

Last week I learned from a neighbor that Donald Trump deliberately allowed the Biden-Harris ticket to win the 2020 election so they could destroy the Democrats with stupid policies. I also learned that only a biologist can define a woman from the now confirmed nominee for a not-yet-vacant seat on the Supreme Court who was selected by President Biden because she was a Black woman. (Maybe he had a biologist on his staff to help him decide this.) Speaking of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, I remembered that once again Democrats, including Biden, have taken credit for minority appointments

Borrowers working as public servants are eligible for forgiveness under PSLF once they’ve made 10 years of qualifying payments.
Why Are Women Unhappy 26 replies

A little over a decade ago, two researchers at Wharton published a paper showing that, despite women’s increasing work and educational opportunities, their self-reported happiness was in steady decline. Back in 1970, women were on average happier than men; they are now less happy than men. Broadly, since 1970, everyone has gotten more miserable. But the decline in women’s overall happiness has outpaced men’s, and the happiness curve inverted sometime in the early 1990s. The paper also documents increasing anxiety and neuroticism, as well as decreasing social cohesion among women.
