It took me several minutes to stop laughing long enough to share this. Tough talk, Sandy. As reported by Fox News, the question was prompted by a recent poll that showed AOC edging out Vance in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is incorporating Gen Z messaging and viral jabs at Vice President J.D. Vance into her playbook as she builds momentum for a 2028 presidential run, a Republican political strategist has claimed. The strategist's comments came after the New York Democrat used meme-style language and mocked Vance on Dec. 17 over a poll and declared she would 'stomp him'...

My guest today is Andrew Kolvet, who was Kirk’s close confidant. Since the assassination, he’s taken on many of Kirk’s responsibilities, including hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show.” Andrew Kolvet: …“Now, Charlie’s mission was to say: Hey, before us are two roads. You can either go grievance politics, socialism, free stuff populism, Mangione-ism, Mamdani-ism, or you can go MAGA.“ …“I think this is the through line for Israel — is you do not have to support Israel to belong to the team, at least in a traditional historical sense…I’m an American. I’m born in this country. My kids are going to...

Vice President JD Vance just dropped a hilarious Oval Office story leaving the entire room cracking up. President Trump glanced over the Resolute Desk at VP Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio and said, “You guys have shitty shoes.” Right then and there, Trump pulled out a shoe catalog and gifted them 4 pairs of shoes. 🤣 Wait until the end of the story… “Today I'm in the Oval Office with the President and Marco Rubio, and we're talking about something really important. The President kind of holds up his hand and says, ‘no, no, no, hold on a second. There's...

A Very Merry December, MAGAdonians ... ... bad guys, not so much

Thanksgiving weekend ends on Sunday, and still there’s no peace in Ukraine. Donald Trump’s latest attempt to end the war – his 28-point plan – began to fall apart from the moment it mysteriously leaked to various international news outfits last week. As that story landed, Reuters broke some other news: Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, would stand down in January. Kellogg, who represents the more ardently pro-Ukrainian faction of the administration, had clashed repeatedly with Trump’s peace envoy Steve Witkoff, who has been engaging in friendly dialogue with Moscow for most of the year. His departure seemed...

Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that Canada is being overrun by migrants. Almost half of all births are now to foreign-born mothers (42% currently, and rising), and one-third of the overall population is foreign-born. One of the many terrible consequences of the liberal policies that have resulted in this replacement of the native population is stagnating economic growth. Migration, of course, is not the only cause of this stagnation. Energy policies, housing policies, and all sorts of government meddling in the economy are at fault as well, but it is undeniable that replacing a high-trust first-world citizenry with people...

A 67-year-old Michigan man named James Donald Vance Jr., who shares the exact initials “J.D. Vance” with the Vice President, was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison for posting online death threats against President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and a member of the president’s family. The convicted man, from the Grand Rapids area, used the Bluesky handle “Diaperjdv” to post a series of violent threats in March and April. In the messages, Vance Jr. stated he did not care if Secret Service agents shot him or if he spent the rest of his life in prison,...

Nick Fuentes, the highly controversial white nationalist roiling the MAGA movement, took a victory lap over Vice President JD Vance, following his interview with Tucker Carlson last week. Fuentes has long been a fierce critic of Vance and has made deeply racist comments in the past about Vance’s interracial and mixed-faith marriage. Carlson’s platforming of Fuentes on his show has led to an escalating battle on the right as many argue that such blatant hate speech should remain outside the realm of mainstream MAGA, whereas Carlson has let it in. “He’s getting squeezed because the Groypers are on the one...

Vice President J.D. Vance received overwhelming support for a potential 2028 presidential run during a live taping of The Megyn Kelly Show in Fort Worth, Texas, earlier this week. The event, part of Kelly’s national tour, featured several prominent conservative figures and drew a large audience to Dickies Arena. During the discussion, which was released Friday as a podcast episode, Kelly and her guests debated the political landscape looking ahead to the 2028 election. Panelists included media host Glenn Beck and political analyst Mark Halperin, among others. The conversation turned to Vice President Vance’s prospects as a future presidential candidate...

With the potential Democratic Party field made up of weak candidates like Pritzker, Newsom, Harris etc, JD looks very good to win in 2028.

“Having your own opinions is one thing. Voting against the party on every single issue, you’re eventually going to make too many enemies, and that is the problem that Thomas has had,” Vance told the crowd. “It’s not one issue. It’s not three or four issues. It’s that every time that we’ve needed Thomas for a vote, he has been completely unwilling to provide it,” he said. “It’s because we can never count on him for some of the most difficult votes. I wish that that weren’t the case. I say that as somebody who’s known Thomas well before I...

(The Daily Signal)—President Donald Trump named two members of his Cabinet as an unbeatable duo in the 2028 presidential election. When asked by a reporter on Air Force One Monday morning if he would run in 2028, Trump said, “We have great people.” “One of them is standing right here,” he said, referring to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “We have JD [Vance], obviously. The Vice President is great. Marco is great, I think. I’m not sure if anybody would run against those. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable.” Trump said he “hasn’t really...

Vice President JD Vance has maintained a narrow lead over Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the latest hypothetical poll for the 2028 presidential race, according to a survey from Emerson College. The poll shows Vance with 46% support, while Newsom trails closely with 45%, leaving 10% of participants undecided. While neither figure has formally announced a presidential bid, both are widely considered the likely frontrunners for their respective parties in the next election. A Tightening Contest The results are the latest in a series of head-to-head match-ups conducted by Emerson College, which indicate a tightening race. Vance’s current one-point...

Ben Domenech has a very interesting take on Vice President Vance in an essay on The Transom. [T]he truth is: They hate him because they view him as a traitor to their class, after they welcomed him with open arms. He recounts the rapturous response Hillbilly Elegy received upon publication and the instant celebrity conferred upon Vance, in so small part because it satisfied a need of “people on the center left trying to make some sense of (or offer some dismissive explanation for) the Trump phenomenon.” Vance went all-in (something he has done as Trump’s number two as well):...
