The Russia-Ukraine war has continued despite months of negotiations because neither side is ready yet to make a peace deal, US Vice President JD Vance said in an interview Thursday with the conservative news network Newsmax. -snip- Vance pointed to what he called a “misalignment of expectations,” saying “the Russians tend to think that they’re doing better on the battlefield than they actually are,” which he said has made negotiations more difficult in recent months.

The public release of a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. The Young Republican National Federation, the GOP’s political organization for Republicans between 18 and 40, called for those involved to step down from the organization. The group described the exchanges, first reported by Politico, as “unbecoming of any Republican.” Republican Vice President JD Vance, however, has weighed in several times to speak out against what he characterized as “pearl clutching” over the leaked messages....

The ABC News mainstay sparred with the vice president over claims Border Czar Tom Homan accepted bribes to lobby for government contracts. One of Donald Trump’s most loathed nemesis in the media abruptly cut off JD Vance during a live interview Sunday morning. ABC News host George Stephanopoulos was speaking with the vice president about bribery allegations against the MAGA administration’s Border Czar Tom Homan when the host interrupted Vance mid-sentence to announce the network would be cutting to commercial. “I think the American people would benefit much more from [talking about the shutdown] than from you going down some...

Vice President J.D. Vance just roasted ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on live TV. After Vance stopped speaking, the ABC host cut to commercial instead of responding to Vance’s criticism against the fake news media. “I don’t know what tape you’re referring to, George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe. There’s no evidence of that. And here’s, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and you’re losing credibility. Because you’re talking for now five minutes with the vice president of the United States about this story about Tom Homan, a story that I’ve read about, but...

Fake News CNN cut off House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday as he attacked the Democrats for shutting down the government over healthcare funding for illegal aliens. Earlier this week, Vice President JD Vance made it clear that Democrats are refusing to keep the government open because they are prioritizing illegal aliens. “Democrats want a $1.5 trillion spending package that funded free health care for illegals. We told them that was absurd, and now they’re willing to shut down the government over it. It’s unacceptable,” Vance said earlier this week after a meeting with top Democrats Schumer and Jeffries.

In the 1969 single that became a career landmark, the peerless and fearless country artist was protesting about protesters.Merle Haggard poured his own life experience into the song that gave him a new signature at the end of the 60s. When he wrote “Okie From Muskogee,” as he told The Boot in 2010, the peerless and fearless country artist was protesting about protesters. ‘I knew what it was like to have freedom taken away’ “When I was in prison, I knew what it was like to have freedom taken away,” he said. “Freedom is everything. During Vietnam, there were all...

A pregnant woman in Dublin, Ireland told authorities she is “living in fear for me and my kids and my unborn child” after her boyfriend allegedly threatened to drag her “by the hair of her head to the abortion clinic” when she refused to kill her baby in an abortion. That’s according to court testimony and a local news report that underscores the perils of coercive control against expectant mothers. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was refused bail last Friday at Tallaght District Court following the September 12 domestic incident in Dublin’s Tallaght area. The 20-something...

The arrest of a woman known as the 'she devil' has lifted the veil on a Mexican cartel scheme to cut babies out of their mothers' womb and sell the infants for less than $14,000 to Americans, US officials have confirmed. Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, 44, alias 'La Diabla,' ran a baby trafficking operation for Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in Juarez, Mexico- directly across the border from El Paso, Texas, the National Counterterrorism Center stated after her Sept. 2 arrest. La Diabla had been luring Mexican pregnant women, often poor and looking for work, to remote areas of the...

Vice President JD Vance on Sunday attributed President Donald Trump’s recent change in attitude toward the Russian-Ukrainian war to the loss of human life and the impact to Russia’s economy. “The Russian economy is in shambles. The Russians are not gaining much on the battlefield. It’s clearly time for them to listen to his passionate plea for them to come to the table and actually talk seriously about peace,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum that aired on “Fox News Sunday.” “I think what has changed is the reality on the ground, with the Russians killing...

United States Vice President JD Vance called on Russia on Sunday to adhere to President Donald Trump's request and "sit at the negotiating table" on the conflict in Ukraine. Speaking to Fox News, Vance insisted that Russia is not making any gains on the battlefield and is only provoking losses in human lives.

His post, which has since been removed, was picked up by the San Francisco Standard, and had reportedly said that Thiel argued that because we are increasingly concerned about existential threats, the time is ripe for the Antichrist to rise to power, promising peace and safety by strangling technological progress with regulation.

Along comes the hard-left Guardian US to save the day with an article by Adrienne Matei entitled "From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home." It's a l-o-n-g and rambling piece, but one thing can be said in its favor: it doesn't lack a sense of humor. Thus, a "cultural historian" is quoted as saying: “There’s been a reluctance to name this moment as fascism.”Right! So much reluctance that Googling "Trump fascism" yields only 20.4 million results in 0.33 seconds. Hitler's propagandist Joseph Goebbels makes an appearance before long, and sure enough, Trump's "pro-natalist" policies...

CNN once again presented itself as a case study of how much pull leftist billionaire George Soros has within the global media when it chose to use its journalists as emissaries protecting his image and his dark vision for the world. The loaded headline for the September 18 article: "How the right blames George Soros for just about everything." CNN took aim at Soros critics following Vice President J.D. Vance’s September 15 guest-host appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show, where he ripped unhinged magazine The Nation for grave-stomping on the TPUSA Founder’s grave after he was assassinated September 10. Vance...

George Soros has been the go-to bogeyman for the American right — and right-wing leaders around the world — for years. The 95-year-old billionaire has funneled money into causes around the globe, supporting democratic endeavors, immigration efforts and criminal justice reform through his Open Society Foundations, which he founded in 1979. In the intervening decades, Soros, with his large network of progressive causes and opposition to strong-arm governments, has become the target of conspiracy theories in areas that range from Malaysia to his birth country of Hungary, where a so-called “Stop Soros” law made it illegal to aid undocumented immigrants...

Politico’s knee-jerk reaction to trust but not verify leftist magazine The Nation’s retort to Vice President J.D. Vance’s connection of the latter to billionaire George Soros is the epitome of what happens when journalists let Trump Derangement rot their brains so much they throw ethics to the wind. During his guest-host appearance for the Charlie Kirk Show September 15, Vance argued that Soros “funds” The Nation, which drew the ire of the magazine’s president Bhaskar Sunkara, who falsely accused him of “lying” in an X post. “[W]e're not funded, not one dime, by Soros or Open Society Foundation,” Sunkara railed....

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly anointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a chilling call to arms targeting the President of the United States, Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials, including Elon Musk and Cabinet members.

Al-Awlaki, speaking in Arabic but quickly translated and circulated on social media, issued a...
