J. D. Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, is asserting he has a right to “tell stories” about Haitian immigrants. He’s carrying out his party’s campaign strategy, which is what veep candidates typically do. Republicans have made immigrant-bashing a centerpiece of their 20[...]

Pet lost and found
The now-infamous false rumor, amplified by Trump and J. D. Vance, that Haitian immigrant workers in Springfield, Ohio, were stealing and eating people’s pets originated from a police report about a missing cat. Anna Kilgore (photo below), the Springfield woman who reported the missing cat, fou[...]
Trump assassination attempt 2.0
America has always been a violent country. Several presidents, candidates, and leading public figures have been assassinated, with attempts made on others including FDR and Reagan. What happened to Trump isn’t a historical outlier. It shouldn’t be this way. Political violence is bad for [...]
Will Stephen Miller be America’s Heydrich?
Stephen Miller (bio here), an immigration hardliner, likely would become immigration czar in a second Trump administration. Trump has promised “the largest mass deportation campaign in US history,” Mother Jones says (read article here); and last weekend, in a Truth Social post (view it [...]
J. D. Vance doesn’t care he provoked school bomb threats
J. D. Vance (photo, left) just keeps getting more odious. The man who wants to replace America’s democratic elites with an unelected conservative ruling elite that would impose unpopular policies on the American people (see story here) is unapologetic for the mayhem he unleashed on Springfield[...]

J. D. Vance hopes to be vice president in a second Trump administration. In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, July 30, 2024 (details here), he said he wants a role in solving the border and drug crises. How does he plan to solve them? On the border, he said “I’d basically do the [&helli[...]
Will Republicans force you to have children?
This question should be laughable, but it’s no joke. If the Trump/Vance ticket is elected this November, it’s possible J. D. Vance could become president, either by succession or as Trump’s likely successor. And by now it’s out in the open that Trump’s running mate has [...]
GOP senator calls migrants “garbage”
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is a bad politician, and not a very good human being either. Tuberville rode into the U.S. Senate on name familiarity and sports mania, defeating the former U.S. Attorney who sent two Klansmen to prison for the 1964 Birmingham church bombing. The last time I posted about[...]

J. D. Vance’s lying campaign video
In the video below, J. D. Vance says, “I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across the border,” referring to drugs. That’s a lie; his mother, a nurse, fed her addiction by stealing drugs from her patients. He would’ve had little reason to lament “losing” h[...]
