Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the Republican Party were not perceived as the pro-family party but as taking away rights on abortion, they would lose elections.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Ohio’s new constitutional amendment went into effect Thursday. You said after it passed, we have to recognize how much voters mistrust us on this issue, us meaning Republicans. This week, the Texas Supreme Court is blocking a woman in Texas from obtaining an abortion even though her fetus has a rare genetic condition that is almost always fatal, and her doctors want her to be able to get this so she’s able to have babies in the future and for her health. Isn’t that situation an example of why many voters might not trust Republicans?”
Vance said, “Well, I don’t know the details of that story, Jake. But I will say that we have to accept that people do not want blanket abortion bans. They don’t. I say this as a person who wants to protect as many unborn babies as possible. And that is a basic necessity. And when people don’t trust us, what I’m getting at, I’ve been shocked by you go to the hospital, and you have a baby, and you get a $24,000 unexpected bill. What does this look like for a middle-class family?”
He added, “We’ve made it hard to have children and families in this country in that environment. If people see Republicans not as the party that is trying to make it easier to have babies but trying to take people’s rights away, then we’ll lose. I think we have to win the trust back of the American people, and one of the ways to do that is to be the pro-family party. I think we have, but we have to enact some public policy to that effect.”
Nice catching. They are making their way up to our area.
Howies CNN roots always show through

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that her main focus was on defeating former President Donald Trump because he is an “existential threat.”
Cheney said, “Neither party has selected their nominee yet. It looks like it’s most likely to be Donald Trump and Joe Biden, but we don’t know that for sure. I think it’s going to require making an assessment about sort of how we can most effectively mobilize people in both parties and mobilize independents frankly to stand against Donald Trump. I think, you know, there’s a lot that has to be done to begin to rebuild the Republican Party, potentially to rebuild a new conservative party, but in my view, that has to wait until after the 2024 election because our focus has got to be on defeating Donald Trump.”?
Anchor Jonathan Karl said, “But running as a third party or no labels candidate is a distinct option for you?”
Salted pork, anyone?
Gore: Global Mental Health Crisis Due to Young People Worried About Climate
Former Vice President Algore said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there was a global mental health crisis because young people look at we are not yet solving the climate crisis.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “It does look like the 2024 election will come down to President Biden versus former President Trump, and I’m wondering what you think the world would look like under President Trump being re-elected, which is a possibility, not only when it comes to the climate but also when it comes to democracy.”
Gore said, “Well, I saw the other day where he pledged to be a dictator on day one, and you kind of wonder what it will take for people to believe him when he tells us who he is. And, you know, the solution to political despair is political action. And for those in the Republican Party and in the Democratic Party and Independents who love American democracy and who want to preserve our capacity to govern ourselves and solve our problems, now is the time to get active.”
He added, “There is a mental health crisis around the world. I think that one of the main reasons for that is that young people look at the fact that we are not yet solving the climate crisis or dealing with some of the other challenges. We heard the word thrown around polycrisis. Well, solving the climate crisis is a poly-solution. We know what we need to do, and we have the means to do it, and we have to make sure that we make the right political choices in our democracy to enable ourselves to make the right choices.”
Ok, he's a polygoreon.
Yesterday, Hunter Biden was finally indicted — on tax charges. Here is a copy of the indictment, filed by Special Counsel David Weiss in the Central District of California, and signed by his principal deputy Leo Wise. The nine counts include three felonies. The indictment makes for moderately entertaining reading. The gist is that Hunter Biden, rather than paying taxes of about $1.4 million that he acknowledged he owed for years 2016-19, instead “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle.” Well, we all knew that.
A more important question is why it has taken until now to produce an indictment for crimes that were this obvious and on which the statute of limitations was running. One theory is that the indictment is a signal that the Democratic establishment has finally concluded that Joe Biden is expendable. I don’t buy that theory. The better hypothesis is that the indictment is a last-ditch effort to protect Joe by diverting attention to the only crimes of Hunter in which Joe isn’t fundamentally implicated. From the New York Times today:
Republicans immediately hailed the indictment . . . as a validation of their inquiry. . . . Yet in the most critical respect, the indictment is far from helpful to the Republicans: It never mentions President Biden, not even indirectly, and provides no evidence linking the misdeeds of the son to the father.
So where are the bribery charges? Those are at least as clear and obvious as the tax charges. The difference is that they would inherently implicate the President. The failure to bring them shows that our Department of “Justice” continues to view its role as protecting the politically-favored incumbent from clear and serious criminality, while simultaneously prosecuting his main political rival in two separate cases of highly questionable merit.
Stunning . Incompetence personified.
Waste money, give money away, no accountability
Any ideas who he should dress as next?
And We the People, taxpayers, are still paying for all that empty office space...
Trump will be a one-term President. Whomever he chooses to be his VP will have a leg up in 2028. It is critical that he chooses someone who is MAGA to carry on his legacy.
Calling ManBearPig!
Lol!!
Trump needs to reduce the size of the federal workforce dramatically. Programmatic cuts are the only way to achieve rapid reductions. Automation, reductions-in-force, etc. are just incremental changes. It is like pruning a tree. The federal workforce just gets bigger and stronger.
Ku Klux Klan? Or MAGA Reps wearing red hats?
Malone had a learning curve for sure but once he figured it out he was right on track.
I thought it was amazing that Maria outright asked Rand Paul if he thought the shots were bio-weapons. His non-answer showed who Paul really is, a front running phony,IMHO.
Im sure they are there,lots of fun as well.I stake the bigger ones and grill them after marinating them with zesty italian dressing. Taste good!
My cat loves them too!!
On the other hand, the federal worker can work from home. no commuting, lower dry cleaning costs, no restaurant expense for lunches, etc. Teleworking is a racket.
Let’s face it demoncrats don’t work unless they are forced to.
