To the extent that his nickname when he was in the Army was "Baby Huey."

Was his actual name some variant of "Hugh", or did they think he resembled a helicopter?

Let’s change that title to show another who made it to Vice Presidency!

“Only in America can a hardworking young American Indian from The High Plains rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country!”

CHARLES CURTIS of the Kaw Tribe. VP under Hoover.

I checked google and also Grok to find out if the parents of Usha were at the inauguration. Google was useless. I gave up looking for the answer to my question after viewing 3 pages. But, according to Grok, yes indeed, Usha’s parents were there! [Btw, I phrased my question exactly the same for both search sites: Were the parents of Usha Vance at the inauguration?].

Huh. I also Googled that question and got lots of info about the parents, but nothing relating to the inauguration. Glad they were there. Such a great honor for their daughter.

I may be wrong, but I believe that the first attempt on President Trump's life influenced his choice of VP.

God bless them both.

When did Middletown, OH become part of Appalachia? JD is not from Appalachia although he is Appalachian just like people can be “Irish” or “Eyetalian” without being from Ireland or Italy.

He is three generations removed from those hills. But it still gives him the right to call an Appalachian a “Brier”.

No, Baby Huey was a cartoon character. Overgrown baby duckling.

I ran across a post by his mother on FB or X. She had been SO ill for a few weeks before the inauguration (hospitalized & surgeries), but was determined to be there for the swearing in.

Wow! So so happy she made it! What a journey and testimony.

And JD promised at convention that they may celebrate her decade of sobriety at the White House!!!

God bless the Vances.

Shaving in the 18th. century was done with a straight razor.

In an inexperienced hand that thing is lethal.
