Much has already been written about Tuesday night’s debate between the two Vice Presidential hopefuls. Tim Walz has had a long love affair with China. Below I will address his attempt to excuse his lie during the debate about being in China during the Tiananmen Square “protests.” Not only did he try to minimize the lie, but he attempted to pass off the murder of innocents as “democracy protests,” without mentioning that his Chinese friends used tanks to massacre innocent, non-violent protesters so that others would get the message.

[cut] Callista and I went to bed on Tuesday night convinced that Sen. Vance had won a substantial triumph. In that victory, he also vindicated President Donald J. Trump’s gamble in selecting a running mate so early in his career. At 40, with only two years in the U.S. Senate, Vance is only a few months older than Richard Nixon when President Dwight Eisenhower picked him to be the Republican vice presidential nominee in 1952. Nixon would remain a major part of the political scene for 42 years. That would give Sen. Vance a potential role in American government and...

According to the talent at MSNBC, mansplaining knows no gender boundaries, which they argued was on display by Republican presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) during Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate between Vance and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace, Vance attempted to “mansplain,” a term typically used to describe how a man talks down to a woman if done condescendingly, to Walz and moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, an aspect of illegal immigration.

NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. — Cell phone videos of Republican Vice Presidential Nominee JD Vance are circulating on social media after the Ohio Senator was reportedly turned away from Primanti Bros. in North Versailles Saturday morning. Allegheny County Republican Party Chair Sam DeMarco said Sen. Vance made a stop at the restaurant on E. Pittsburgh McKeesport Boulevard to pick up lunch. It was spontaneous, but he said a manager wouldn’t let Vance go inside initially and even threatened to call police. “Senator Vance was absolutely turned away today,” DeMarco said.

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) was “acting” at the vice-presidential debate. Co-host Joy Behar said, “When people say this is a vice presidential debate who cares? It’s not that important. It is because you cannot have this guy in that position either. Both of them are horrible. And Tim Walz is a real person and he’s a smart guy so he made one faux pas.” Goldberg said, “Keep in mind, that what you saw last night was a lot of good, you know, acting choices.” She added, “JD Vance made...

Predator vs Prey

Wow….they’re making the Hurricane Helene question about CLIMATE CHANGE,” Turning Point USA’s Savanah Hernandez wrote. “Americans lost their lives, their homes were destroyed and in response, the Biden/Harris admin sent billions of dollars overseas. “And the moderators immediately go to climate change…pathetic.” “The CBS moderators are even worse than the ABC. This is horrible. Would you deport children from parents. EVERY QUESTION is loaded for Democrats

Democratic pundits were left scratching their heads in disbelief Tuesday night after the at time stumbling performance of Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, MInnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Walz started off shaky, often mixing up his words and appeared anxious and unable to answer when pressed on his own misstatements about his past and experience. 'I was missing the magic and the organic spontaneity of Tim Walz,' said former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.

Minnesota nice ran headlong into Ohio smart on Tuesday night, as Governor Tim Walz faced off against Senator JD Vance in a CBS News vice presidential debate in New York City. The best Democrats can hope for is that voters were watching 'Dancing With The Stars' instead. Walz was exposed as a stuttering lightweight with no business being a heartbeat away from the Oval Office and Vance delivered the most persuasive case for 'America First' Trumpism yet, in what may be the last debate of the 2024 election.

Pundits and commentators online were not all pleased with the CBS News moderators' performance during Tuesday night's vice presidential debate. The most jarring moment came when Margaret Brennan fact-checked Republican VP nominee, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance over comments he made about Haitian migrants. That led to a back-and-forth that ended with Brennan and Norah O'Donnell cutting off the candidates' mics.

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) received stellar reviews for his debate performance on Tuesday night against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), with pundits describing him as “sharp” and offering a “commanding performance.” “For Vance, it was a commanding performance. For Walz, it was a nervous ramble. For the audience, it was the most civil and substantive debate of the Trump era,” wrote Ross Douthat, a columnist for The New York Times. “I was struck by the fact that JD Vance is a significantly more eloquent Donald Trump,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, “The View” co-host and a CNN commentator during a panel....

Near the close of the vice-presidential debate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio was on the verge of capping off a fantastic night for a Republican ticket that has been lost in a news cycle of its own making over false claims about Haitian migrants eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio. And then January 6, 2021, and the 2020 election came up.

From J.D. Vance’s knowing glance at the camera to Tim Walz’s professed friendships ‘with school shooters,’ the debate was instant meme fodder.

Top political anchors at liberal news outlets panned Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz’s debate performance Tuesday, with one journalist likening it to President Biden’s disastrous June showdown with former President Donald Trump. “It kind of reminded me of the June 27 debate, when Kamala Harris that night said of Joe Biden, ‘It was a slow start, but a strong finish,’” ABC News anchor Linsey Davis said of the Minnesota governor’s matchup against Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio). “And that’s how I felt Tim Walz kind of did tonight,” she added. *** Davis, who alongside David Muir moderated the Sept. 10...

Sen. JD Vance refused to acknowledge that former president Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, setting off one of the most contentious exchanges in Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate with Gov. Tim Walz. Walz vigorously pressed Vance on the issue near the end of a debate that had otherwise been marked by unusual comity. “I would just ask, did he lose the 2020 election?” Walz asked. “Tim, I’m focused on the future,” Vance said, without addressing the question. “That is a damning non-answer,” Walz responded. The Republican senator from Ohio and the Democratic governor of Minnesota offered sharply different perspectives on...

Sen. JD Vance’s (R-OH) regard for the facts appeared to help him out perform the sugar-coated whimsy of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) during Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate. At least, that is the opinion of those polled immediately after the showdown by CBS News, which hosted the forum. According to the CBS poll as seen by the Hill, 42 percent of debate watchers say Vance, a Yale-trained lawyer, won the debate. Walz trails closely behind with 41 percent of viewers saying he was victorious. About 17 percent said it was a tie.

SOMERSET – About 25 Republicans from this rural coal-mining community gathered at a sports tavern Tuesday night for the political showdown between vice presidential candidates. Amid tables filled with beer, pizza and wings, the GOP faithful expected a heaping serving of political red meat as tart-tongued Republican JD Vance took on homespun Minnesota Democrat Tim Walz. Only, they largely didn’t get it. Instead of confrontational fireworks between the candidates, a polite, reasoned policy discussion broke out. “It was a lot calmer than a Trump debate,” said Guy Berkebile, the Somerset County GOP chairman who organized the event. “You know, I...

Tim Walz and J.D. Vance debated Wednesday night. The debate was gracious on both sides. The moderators of the debate asked a number of policy questions, and each candidate answered giving some deference to the other candidate and in most cases suggesting there was some room for compromise on specific laws/policies that would need to be enacted during the next four years. Yet the tone of good will and compromise that each tried to establish to some degree was false and misleading. The differences between the two candidates and the presidential candidates with whom each is running could not be...

Five weeks before the final day of voting in the U.S. presidential election, Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate represents what will probably be the last face-to-face showdown between the Democratic and Republican tickets for the White House.Sen.

Tim Walz are scheduled to confront each other at 6 p.m. Pacific time in a 90-minute showdown hosted by CBS News.With no more debates planned between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the battle of the No. 2s is the last mass-viewership event on the campaign calendar. The debate is expected to draw tens of...

As I write this, the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is living up to the hype as Vance is wiping the floor with Walz, leaving him stammering and staring as though he can't remember anything from his script except "But Trump!"AdvertisementWalz at the VP debate: pic.twitter.com/0a2J79LmDS— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) October 2, 2024I think Walz is going to vote for Vance. 😂 #VPDebate2024 pic.twitter.com/3EfxGxBDKt— under construction!
