JD Vance

We've seen presidents and vice presidents come into office before with pie-in-the-sky ideas about how easy it is to bring about world peace if only the mean old United States would stop being such a warmonger. At some point, however, reality tends to intrude. In no case has this been truer than in our Russia policy. Woodrow Wilson, as late as in January 1918, in his "Fourteen Points," declared that "the treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished ...

As courts block parts of his agenda, President Donald Trump and his allies are ramping up criticism of judges and continuing to question judicial oversight of the executive branch.

While he's said he would abide by their rulings -- but also appeal them -- he kept up the effort to undermine the authority of the courts on Wednesday, alleging in a social media post that a "highly political, activist judge" wanted to stop the work of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency...

In contemporary Washington, leaks are political warfare by other means — and the body count has been rising at the Pentagon. Over the past week, the Defence Department has been racked by internal conflict. Three of defence chief Pete Hegseth’s top advisors were placed on leave and then fired, allegedly as part of a leak investigation. Then, Hegseth’s chief of staff — who allegedly ordered that investigation — was out the door, too.

Vice President JD Vance revealed Wednesday that President Trump hopes to complete construction on a “physical” border wall spanning the entire US-Mexico boundary by the end of his second term. 

“I think the president’s hope is that by the end of the term we build the entire border wall,” the vice president said during remarks in Eagle Pass, Texas  — a hot spot for human and drug smuggling during former President Joe Biden’s term in office. 

“And of course that’s the physical structure, the border wall itself,” Vance noted. 

Vice President JD Vance told reporters in India that the U.S. had offered Russia and Ukraine "a very explicit proposal" to end the war that has been ongoing for over three years: make a deal or risk the U.S. walking away.

"We've issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and Ukrainians, and it's time for them to either say yes or for the U.S. to walk away from this process. We've engaged in an extraordinary amount of diplomacy, of on-the-ground work," Vance told reporters.

Vice President JD Vance says he did not realize how sick Pope Francis was when he met with the pontiff at the Vatican a day before he died.

"I've thought a lot about that. I mean, it's pretty crazy, actually," Vance said. "And, obviously, when I saw him, I didn't know that he had less than 24 hours still on this earth. I think it was a great blessing."

At least two dozen people are feared to have been killed after gunmen indiscriminately fired at tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Tuesday in what local authorities called a terror attack, blaming militants fighting against Indian rule.

"This attack is much larger than anything we've seen directed at civilians in recent years," Omar Abdullah, the region's top elected official, wrote on social media. "The death toll is still being ascertained so I don't want to get into those details."

US Vice President JD Vance met with senior Vatican officials amid sharp differences over the White House's crackdown on migrants, with the Holy See reaffirming good relations but noting “an exchange of opinions” over the issue and current international conflicts.

According to a statement by the Vatican, Vance, a Catholic convert, met with the secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher.

Wikipedia has become a powerful weapon in the left’s political arsenal. Initially launched to democratize access to information, it has debased itself through partisanship.

No longer a straightforward source of facts, Wikipedia today is pure left-wing propaganda — and its intense campaign against Vice President JD Vance is just the latest example of its bias.

The Pentagon fired the commander at the U.S. Space Force base in Greenland after she distanced herself from Vice President JD Vance, who recently visited the headquarters. 

After the vice president’s visit, Col. Susannah Meyers emailed base personnel on March 31, writing, "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base."
