top official of the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Administrator Michael Regan touring the contaminated area created by last week’s catastrophic Norfolk Southern Railroad derailment, subsequent chemical spill, and fire had a message for Ohioans that, in light of FEMA’s recent refusal to assist them, has raised many eyebrows. According to The Associated Press, Regan walked along a creek described as reeking of chemicals and spoke to reporters attempting to convince the people of East Palestine that the water is fit to drink and the air is safe to breathe. “I’m asking they trust the government. I know that’s hard. We...

On Tuesday, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) published a piece in the Wall Street Journal explaining his reasoning for supporting former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination. The article, titled “Trump’s Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any Wars,” emphasized the 45th president’s foreign policy chops.Vance, who rose to prominence with his hit book “Hillbilly Elegy” in 2016, won the endorsement of President Trump during his run for Senate last year. Vance is seemingly returning the favor as the Republican contest for the presidency begins to take shape, as reported by Breitbart.“A few days before America’s 2022 midterm elections, Ukraine’s...

He has my support in 2024 because I know he won’t recklessly send Americans to fight overseas.A few days before America’s 2022 midterm elections, Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelensky accused Russia of firing a rocket into Poland. It was a claim with extraordinary implications. Poland, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, benefits from the alliance’s mutual defense pact—an attack against one is an attack against all. The U.S. would plausibly have an obligation to respond militarily to a Russian attack inside Poland. In making the accusation, Mr. Zelensky was pushing on the dominoes that could start the world’s first...

The green energy group behind a study cited in Consumer Product Safety commissioner Richard Trumka Jr.'s call to ban gas stoves has partnered with the Chinese government to implement an "economy-wide transformation" away from oil and gas. Colorado-based nonprofit Rocky Mountain Institute, which published the December study that attributes 13 percent of U.S. childhood asthma cases to gas-stove use, is hardly staffed by an objective group of scientists. The organization is demanding "systemic change and economy-wide transformation" to address a climate crisis it says we must go to great lengths to avoid. In 2013, for example, the Rocky Mountain Institute...

As chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) had one job: win the Senate majority. Not only did he fail, but he did so in spectacular fashion — through calamitous mismanagement of the NRSC that left Republican candidates under fire without air cover in the final critical months of the midterm elections. Now Scott is trying to deflect blame for the GOP’s disastrous showing. So, it’s worth reviewing the record of his catastrophic tenure at the helm of the GOP’s Senate campaign arm. According to the New York Times, by July of this year, Scott’s NRSC...

Republican candidate JD Vance has defeated Democrat Tim Ryan in Ohio’s senate race after the pro-life canddiate exposed Ryan’s radical pro-abortion views. When the race was called, Vance led Ryan 53-46 in the midwestern state. After the race was called, Ohio Right to Life’s Director of Communications, Elizabeth Whitmarsh, stated, “Ohio Right to Life is extremely encouraged by Vance’s victory tonight, as we have supported him from the beginning. He has proven time and time again that he will fight for the lives of every Ohioan, born and pre-born.” Throughout the campaign, Tim Ryan attempted to castigate J.D. Vance’s pro-life...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — J.D. Vance, the “Hillbilly Elegy” author who was a searing Donald Trump critic before converting into one of his most loyal allies, has defeated Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan in Ohio’s Senate race, NBC News projects.

JD Vance, the Trump-endorsed GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Ohio, has taken a commanding lead in the polls heading into Election Day. Just hours before President Trump will arrive in Vandalia, Ohio, for a special Election Eve Save America rally, the latest polls have Vance up by a wide margin.A new Nov. 4 poll from Trafalgar, for example, has Vance up by a whopping 10 points over his Democrat opponent, Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio. A more recent Trafalgar poll projected Vance will take the Senate seat at 54 percent to Ryan’s 44 percent.For too long, the D.C. machine has...

Monday, November 7, 2022: Join the RSBN broadcast crew LIVE from Vandalia, OH for all day coverage of President Donald J. Trump’s SAVE AMERICA rally. President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will hold a rally in Vandalia, Ohio on Monday, November 7, 2022, at 8:00PM EST.

Former President Donald Trump has told several allies he could announce a 2024 presidential run Monday night at a rally for Ohio Republican Senate candidate JD Vance, The Post has learned. A well-connected Republican source said the 45th president was “telling people he might tonight, but it’s not a done thing.” Trump told several prominent conservatives over the past two weeks that he would formally throw his hat in the ring during his 8 p.m. appearance with Vance in Dayton, Ohio. But it’s unclear if the notoriously mercurial 76-year-old intends to actually do so on the eve of an election...

Amid reports former President Donald Trump had to be talked out of making his 2024 presidential campaign declaration Saturday night in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Trump teased a potential announcement Monday night in Ohio. "I ran twice, I won twice, and I did much better the second time than I did the first, getting millions and millions more votes in 2020 that we got in 2016 – and likewise getting more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country by far," Trump told his Save America rally in Miami, Florida, on Sunday night, which aired live on Newsmax. "And,...

Former President Donald Trump released an ad urging voters to support America First Republican candidates to “help save America,” just days before next week’s midterm elections. The video starts with audio of Trump saying that next week’s election is a “referendum” on President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), and Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D).” “The radical left Democrat Congress is destroying our country,” Trump said. “You’re going to elect an incredible slate of True America First Republicans up and down the ballot.” The video displayed text encouraging voters to vote Republican while the montage of Trump’s audio...

"...But Tim Ryan and Joe Biden agree 100% of the time. Taxing Tim Ryan and Joe Biden. Wrong for Ohio. 100% of the time."

The widespread and coordinated plan to divide the Republican Party has failed, and it’s a major reason why Democrat prospects for the 2022 midterms are so bad. Separating Republican officials from their growing coalition of voters and the issues they care about has been the Washington establishment’s goal for several years now. The “divide and conquer” plan is being run by the Democrat Party, its propaganda press, and former leaders of the Republican Party such as Liz Cheney, who see how the GOP’s new composition and approach has threatened or destroyed their hold on power. The D.C. partnership has worked...

Fantastic morning in Medina County with @jdvance1!J.D. will stand and fight for working men and women of Ohio! Revival is coming! pic.twitter.com/fB2iQdHIud— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) October 21, 2022

Vance went right for the political jugular with a brutal statistical smackdown of Ryan on the economy, which remains by far the most salient of this election for voters in Ohio, and indeed nationwide. Vance indicted Ryan’s long tenure in politics by pointing out that “Tim Ryan represents a congressional district that has lost 50,000 jobs just in his time in office.” On the issue of the economy, Vance also skillfully forced Ryan to own the harsh financial crisis created by Joe Biden for Americans who suffer from both a Biden recession as well as historic Biden-induced levels of inflation....

Joe Scarborough's masculinity is so fragile that he needs to repeatedly brag about his toughness on national TV. Back in June, we caught Scarborough boasting that he would beat up Capitol tourists if he caught them taking pictures. The subject today was Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance. At a recent Trump rally with Vance in Ohio, the former president told the crowd “J.D. is kissing my ass he wants my support so bad." Scarborough chose to open his Morning Joe show on Tuesday with a long rant about how he wouldn't tolerate anyone who tried to "emasculate" him.Get the rest...

Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan doubled down on his comments from earlier in the year calling to “kill and confront” MAGA while specifically targeting J.D. Vance in his rhetoric during the debate on Monday night. In the heated debate between Ryan and his Republican opponent for Ohio’s open U.S. Senate seat, Ryan was confronted and asked to explain his comments earlier in the year when he told MSNBC’s Morning Joe that the “exhausted majority” needed to “kill and confront” the extremist Republican movement. Now, Ryan, during the debate — doubling down on his comments — included Vance in the group of...
