JD Vance may be running for the United States Senate in Ohio. The venture capitalist and author of the autobiographical bestseller Hillbilly Elegy, now has a very well-funded Super PAC backing his potential candidacy.
According to Cinncinnati.com, “Thiel, a German-American billionaire and early investor in Facebook, gave $10 million to Protect Ohio Values, a super PAC formed last month to support Vance’s possible bid, said Bryan Lanza, a communications adviser to the super PAC.
Yeah I saw that
“Richard Grenell.”
Thanks, yea, that was a disappointment.
He's so private, in fact, that he didn't want it exposed that he was even gay. When the vile leftist site "Gawker" outed him, Thiel funded Hulk Hogan's libel lawsuit against them, resulting in their bankruptcy and end.
Do we have to have our own anti Boot-edge-edge ?
That’s right! I forgot all about that.
Dennis Prager this morning talked about gays and Jews being the most outspoken in the Conservative movement. I think he might be right. Interesting.
He started Paypal and was an early backer of Facebook
He’s nothing like Butt head.
Ok, this is good. Gay and Republican. There are those out there, many in fact. If so, this would be very good for us.
From what I’ve seen of him, Vance is a good guy. He “gets it” regarding the plight of the working class and the middle class in this country. He’s not GOP establishment.
Vance is a populist...could be worse. He’s on Tucker a lot.

WIKI - Vance is married to one of his former law school classmates, Usha Chilukuri, an Indian-American woman who was a law clerk to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts during the 2017–18 term and clerked for then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh in 2014–15.[28] They have two sons, including Ewan.[29]
In August 2019, Vance converted to Catholicism in Cincinnati, Ohio,[30] in a baptism ceremony attended by various conservatives, including Rod Dreher. In an interview with Dreher after the ceremony, Vance said he converted because he “became persuaded over time that Catholicism was true,” and described Catholic doctrine’s influence on his political views.[31]
Both he and backer Thiel use lots of JRR Tolkien names for their investments and funds.....
Thiel is the openly gay one, not Vance.
