"I guarantee that when Barack Obama was president, or Joe Biden was pretending to be president, that you had Republicans who still said they're proud of America."
VP Vance said he wished Democrats would be proud of their country, even when their party is out of power, telling @TheFive he rejected the idea that patriotic pride should rise and fall with politics.
"Not a single cent of American money."
VP JD Vance pushed back on claims that the Iran deal will hand Tehran billions of dollars in U.S. funding, arguing that critics are misrepresenting what's actually on the table.
Speaking on @TheFive, Vance said any economic benefits would come only if Iran completely changes its behavior and meets U.S. demands.
"I do think the political violence and rhetoric in this country is completely out of control."
Speaking on @TheFive, VP JD Vance reacted to news that the FBI disrupted an alleged drone and sniper plot targeting the White House UFC Freedom 250 event.
Vance said the suspects never came close to carrying out the attack and credited law enforcement for stopping the plot before it reached the point of execution.
The UK rape gang inquiry report just dropped and it should make your blood boil:
1. At least 250,000 young White girls were groomed, raped, trafficked, and tortured.
2. Perpetrators followed consistent tactics of befriending vulnerable girls as young as 11 with gifts, drugs, and alcohol before subjecting them to group rapes, violence, blackmail, pregnancies, forced conversions, and trafficking.
3. UK institutions—including police, social services, schools, NHS, and politicians—catastrophically failed victims through denial, ignored reports, criminalization of victims, destruction of evidence, and prioritization of political correctness and fears of “racism” accusations over child protection.
4. 87–95% of convicted perpetrators in group-based child sexual exploitation cases were Muslim. It was predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs. They operated across 149 local authority districts. Groups from Somali,
Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.
5. The Muslim perpetrators operated under an honour- and
shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially White working class girls, as property available for sexual use. Girls were told that they’re “White trash” who deserved punishment.
People need to go to prison for this.
i came to the conclusion that this story is so awful that we have no way to punish it. to commit to an appropriate measure of justice is beyond our willingness to do it.
TAXPAYER RISK: Obama Presidential Center's $470M endowment sits at just $1M as subcontractors claim they're owed millions days before grand opening.
The fund was promised as an insurance policy so Chicago taxpayers wouldn't get stuck covering future costs on the 99-year deal. Construction costs have ballooned from $330M to at least $850M.
The Obama Foundation says the center is 'fully funded' and plans to make 'significant investments' in the endowment in coming years — but critics say a promise to raise money later is not the same as having a funded backstop in place.
