While calm, polite, and collected, JD Vance cut through the Biden Harris B.S. like a razor blade. In the Battle of the Great Lake States, JD Vance clearly won. Another Great Lake Stater, Chicago-born Earnest Hemingway called "Grace under pressure." JD Vance is grace under pressure.

Dumbing Down: Obama “I want a VP dumber then me”. Biden “I want a VP dumber then me”. Harris “I want a VP dumber than me”. Waltz………..can’t get much lower.

Great article, and btw I totally agreed w Vance about abortion and the referendum. We are not going to save lives by imposing laws nobody agrees with, but we are going to save lives by talking about what is the best law, by hearing out the difficulties and trying to find ways forward, and trying to shape a law that is acceptable to consciences and experiences and the biological truth.

FTA: "Neither Vance nor the moderators raised Walz’s alleged embellishment of his military exploits or use of fertility treatments to help his wife conceive children, despite Republicans focusing on both in recent weeks." Across the board (or should that be across the Internet?), I see Republicans and/or conservatives repeatedly losing sight of the essential issues, and the true goal of winning back the Presidency, in order to play games of "gotcha!" Yes, it is fun to do, and gives us, "the Great Unwashed", a chance to offer our opinions and comment on events we know something about - like me and that other Master Sergeant, Walz. But it ain't gonna win us the election. What Vance did is know what his essential arguments were, made his points, and kept On Task. No rambling unless it supported his point. This is called Discipline. Vance should also be an example to every conservative social media "news" site out there. When your write your commentaries, follow him. Make your esstential points BEFORE your gotchas and your "and another things." If you must include them, put this last, as I am going to do here: And another thing, JD Vance talks well and is a relief to listen to. (See? this was not necessary to my main argument. I tried making this comment at the beginning and realized it was just a tangent.)

One thing that stood out for me was that in almost every answer, Walz talked about what was done in Minnesota. It is good that things are going so great in Minnesota but that's not what people are concerned about. They are concerned about what is going on in the rest of the United States - the economy, the crime, the lack of affordable housing, the illegal drug epidemic, the cities that are overrun by illegal aliens, etc. Those two hopeless moderators made derogatory statements about Trump to preface every question directed to Vance. They never asked Walz why Kamala hadn't done a better job in the almost 4 years she has been in office. At least Walz didn't wave his arms in the air and carry on like a balloon filled with helium but he didn't give me any assurance that things wouldn't be just as bad under him and Kamala as they now are under Kamala and Biden. I can see Vance perfectly capable of taking over the presidency if something happened to Trump. He was a great choice as Trump's running mate. Maybe some of Vance's calmness will rub off on Trump.

For years, Americans have watched as our country has been stripped of our jobs and stripped of our wealth. We've watched our companies get sold off to foreign countries. But with my plan for the American economy, this will stop immediately. When I am president, we will begin to take other countries' jobs and factories, bringing businesses and trillions of dollars back to the United States. Under my plan, American workers will no longer be worried about losing their jobs to foreign nations. Instead, foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to Americans. German car companies can become American car companies. We can beat China in electronic production.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talked a huge game during his first appearance with Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democrat running mate. “I can’t wait to debate the guy,” he said of Sen. J.D. Vance, his Republican opponent from Ohio. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.” Walz’s tune has changed so dramatically now that it’s unrecognizable. “Tim Walz is telling people he’s just as nervous about facing JD Vance as he was the Sunday afternoon in August when he warned Kamala Harris in his running mate interview that he was a bad debater,” said CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere.

I was once taught you should always open an important speech by making reference to a shared experience. So what do all of us at Rescue the Republic have in common? Nothing! In a pre-Trump universe, chimpanzees would be typing their fourth copy of Hamlet before RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Zuby, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell Brand, Bret Weinstein, and I would organically get together for any reason, much less at an event like this. True, everyone speaking has been censored. The issues were all different, but everyone disagreed with “authoritative voices” about something. Saying no is very American.

Six months after Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) sent the Department of Homeland Security a letter asking the agency to tell Congress how many criminal noncitizens have been released into the United States, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner responded late last Friday admitting that ICE is aware of more than 600,000 non-detained noncitizens with criminal histories in the country. This includes more than 400,000 convicted criminals and another 200,000 with pending criminal charges. Of those 400,000, 13,000 had been convicted of murder, 15,000 had been convicted of sexual assault, and more than 50,000 had drug convictions.

Why are we still asked to pretend Joe Biden is running the country? Every time he shows his face, he reminds the American people how much his cognition has declined and how he can’t be trusted to finish a speech or remember which foreign leader he’s introducing, let alone manage the daily affairs of running the country. The man was forced to bow out of his campaign after he embarrassed the national press corps and Democratic Party elites during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump in June. But Democrats and political operatives in the corporate media aren’t as concerned about Biden making us an international laughingstock until Jan. 20, 2025.

Censorship is the only hope for increasingly desperate Democratic grandees as Kamala Harris flounders in swing states and among Hispanic voters against Donald Trump. The vapid candidate they installed at the last minute is shaping up to be even less palatable to voters than her predecessor, Joe Biden. Apart from her off-putting personality and inability to string together a coherent sentence, her biggest liability is the illegal migrant invasion. As Biden’s designated border czar, Harris cannot evade responsibility for the irreparable damage on her watch, after 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens entered the country, including hundreds of thousands of criminals and terrorists.

Vice President Kamala Harris is fond of saying that Donald Trump is only in it for himself, not the American people. Well, this weekend we saw, in a picture-perfect example of psychological projection, Harris throwing a small business under the bus for her own supposed political gain. On Saturday, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance tried to drop in on Pittsburgh’s famed Primanti Bros. sandwich shop, only to be barred entry. This came much to the disappointment of waiting voters, some of whom angrily recorded the events on their phones.

Nearly all Gallup measures that have shown some relationship to past presidential election outcomes or that speak to current perceptions of the two major parties favor the Republican Party over the Democratic Party. Chief among these are Republican advantages in U.S. adults’ party identification and leanings, the belief that the GOP rather than the Democratic Party is better able to handle the most important problem facing the country, Americans’ dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, and negative evaluations of the economy with a Democratic administration in office.

In 2019, I became the first African American to lead a federal financial regulatory agency when President Trump made me Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration, the independent federal agency overseeing credit unions across the country. From that position, I had a unique view of how economic policies impacted African American workers, families, and businesses. As the 2024 election approaches, I am confident a second Trump administration will build on the record of accomplishment in his first term, especially for African American communities.

PHILADELPHIA — Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation that could reignite inflation and cause shortages of goods if it goes on more than a few weeks. The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight, and even though progress was reported in talks on Monday, the workers went on strike. The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977. Workers began picketing at the Port of Philadelphia shortly after midnight, walking in a circle

JD Vance was accurately describing the migrant crisis fueled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden when CBS moderator Margaret Brennan decided to insert herself with a “fact check.” “Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,” she said smugly. Vance was rightly annoyed by the interruption and said, “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check, and since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”

She also has a track record of being shockingly unfamiliar with issues that are directly related to her job.

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a “knucklehead” — while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor. The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments — avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year. Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes,

We give our police officers extreme power. We provide them with the right to arrest us before we are convicted in court or even indicted by a Grand Jury.

I’ll assume Somali-native Officer Lesly Vera is a good woman. Now 23, she emigrated legally when she was four. Although she has been here for 19 years, we wonder how much of America she really understands, and respects.

I don't know what the viewership numbers were on the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov.

Vance, as RedState previously reported, wiped the floor not just with Walz but also the CBS News debate moderators, who did what they weren't supposed to do at least twice in "fact-checking" Vance, only to have him refuse to be silenced by fact-checking them right back.

Last week, Iran’s leaders found themselves in a familiar position. The Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was the latest in a series of assassinations of senior figures with ties to the regime. In a short statement eulogising Nasrallah, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, declared that Israel had “not become victorious” by carrying out the strike on Nasrallah, which he described as an “atrocity”. Khamenei insisted that Israel would face “more crushing” blows in retribution. But those blows are to come from the groups of the “resistance front” and not from Iran itself.
