Sean Davis @seanmdavOne of the things that drives me nuts about the current era of political conversation and speech-policing is that nobody is ever honest about the end goal of certain tactics. So let’s just lay it out: the war against Tucker is actually a proxy war against J.D. Vance.It is being waged primarily by interventionists who hate the foreign policy realism of the Trump era, hate that J.D. has embraced it, and desperately want to either get rid of J.D. or bully him into doing what they want. The war on Tucker is designed to be a warning shot...

Republicans keep waiting on Democrats to accept their clean CR bill and move on with a vote to reopen the government, but they won't do it. They want perks in there. Well, JD Vance is here to give the "Dad" explanation as to why Republicans aren't going to cave on this one. 🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance just said it PERFECTLY on the federal shutdown"This is how a CHILD BEHAVES!""They are trying to take a hostage. IF WE DO THAT - give them everything they want? In 3 MONTHS, they are gonna shut down the aviation industry and deny SNAP unless...

US Vice President JD Vance has defended the Trump administration’s decision to overhaul the H-1B visa programme, saying it is being misused to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labour. -snip- “If you look at the H-1B visa, what it’s supposed to be is that you have a super genius who’s studying at an American university and who’s working at a great company. You want that super genius to stay in the United States of America and not go somewhere else. What it’s actually used to do is hire an accountant at a 50 per cent discount for an American...

U.S. President Donald Trump said he stopped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from fighting in Gaza, a war he said would have continued "for years" without his pressure on Netanyahu. “He would have just kept going,” Trump told TIME in a newly published interview. “It could have gone on for years. It would have gone on for years. But I stopped him, and everybody came together when I stopped him.” Trump and Netanyahu have heaped praise on each other publicly. But Trump has also shown signs of frustration with Netanyahu's hardline approach, saying in his recent speech to the Knesset...

NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway. They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the...

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.

Erika Kirk, shared a moment of comfort she received from second lady Usha Vance in the immediate aftermath of his assassination, calling her a “precious woman.” Erika Kirk explained how she had confided in Vance about how she did not know how she could endure the loss of her husband and the father of their two children. Vance offered an analogy about the final 15 minutes of a turbulent airplane ride, when all a parent can think about is getting through to the landing. The second lady “told me, you will get through these 15 minutes and the next 15...

It’s begun. Democrats are now acknowledging the release of the Israeli hostages, albeit without giving President Trump credit. It’s not shocking, but it’s laughable: President Trump pitched the agreement that Hamas and Israel agreed upon to end the Gaza War. To omit this is like trying to talk about World War II without mentioning Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Bulge, or D-Day. Sen. Liz Warren’s (D-MA) post about the agreement was just comical: For two excruciating years, I have called for the return of the hostages brutally kidnapped on October 7th and held in Gaza. Today is a good...

Vice President JD Vance blasted Big Tech companies for firing American workers and then claiming they need visas for foreign labor Wednesday. The H-1B visa program allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for specialty occupations and is overwhelmingly used by the tech industry. However, it has long been controversial for some conservatives, who say it is abused by tech companies to bring in cheap, predominantly Indian, labor to replace American workers. Vance spoke with The All-In podcast hosts on a panel at the "Winning the AI Race" AI Summit in Washington, D.C. The Vice President noted that while some...

This week, the Democrat minority in the US Senate refused to vote for the continuing resolution that was needed to keep the federal government funded while the negotiations for the next budget are underway. The resolution was passed by the House, but couldn't make it past the Senate's filibuster rules. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) explained "Republicans want to discontinue the special pandemic increase in the spending for medicaid that has been part of the budget since 2021. Democrats want to continue this level of spending. Until Republicans do what we demand we will oppose the funding required to keep the...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met on Wednesday, one day after President Donald Trump called Moscow a "paper tiger" and said Ukraine could win back its seized land. Rubio and Lavrov sat with their delegations on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz was also present. The meeting lasted roughly 50 minutes. Lavrov didn't respond to questions as he left, including whether he was concerned about the shift in tone from Trump or whether the U.S. president had turned his back on...

The Trump administration signaled a dramatic shift in its approach to the Ukraine conflict Wednesday, with Vice President JD Vance warning that President Donald Trump is "growing incredibly impatient" with Moscow after diplomatic efforts to end the war have faltered. -snip- "He doesn't feel like they're putting enough on the table to end the war," Vance said during remarks in North Carolina, referring to Russian negotiating positions. "If the Russians refuse to negotiate in good faith, I think it's going to be very, very bad for their country." -snip- Secretary of State Marco Rubio reinforced the administration's hardening position during...

GLENDALE, AZ — President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared an awkward moment Sunday during the memorial for Charlie Kirk when they were both caught on a kiss cam. Witnesses could see Elon Musk awkwardly get Trump's attention, point at the Jumbotron, and turn to him with a shrug as if saying, "I guess we have no choice." Sources say Trump then shifted awkwardly in his seat as if waiting for the moment to pass, but Musk was ready to go for it. "I've never been on a Jumbotron before. Don't let me down," he allegedly said. "Come here,...

Vance goes scorched earth on people celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, says there can be no unity with these sick people. "There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents' politics." "There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder." "There is no unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day after the father of that family lost a dear friend." "There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination." "There is no unity with the people who fund these...

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Monday called for an expansive federal response to what he described as organized networks contributing to political violence, invoking the death of conservative leader Charlie Kirk as the impetus for his remarks. The White House will use the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to "identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy" those networks, Miller said to Vice President JD Vance, who hosted Monday's episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show." He said they are engaged in coordinated harassment and intimidation. He pointed to tactics such as doxxing, online targeting, and street demonstrations, saying...
