Mike Pence: Dan Quayle and Al Gore his
role models, not Trump

Original Article

Recalling how former Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dan Quayle fulfilled their roles in certifying elections they lost was much more influential in former Vice President Mike Pence’s ceremonial ending of the 2020 campaign than his boss, former President Donald Trump. In one of several interviews to promote his new book, Pence said he looked to the examples of Quayle and Gore in deciding to certify the election of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Jan. 6, 2021.

He must be trying for some obscure Guinness World Record.

If President Trump had one weakness, it was picking the worst possible people. This is another example. He would have done better to throw darts at a phone book (of anywhere but DC) and pick who the dart hit.

I really remember nothing about Quayle other than the Potato Caper. Maybe he’s a good man. But an absolutely obscure reference to a figure that’s barely a footnote from 40 years ago. How gooooofy. Al Gore. Pence must be thinking of the episode where gore chased the masseuse around his hotel room. Or maybe the tobacco farming or the dirty mining. Or making a fortune on scamming the public into doling out massive amounts of money for a technology that cannot work on a large scale until we discover new physical laws to live by. My God i used to think he was stupid. He’s getting down to biden territory. The Bi-Q. He’s gone Bi-Q. I guess running for president is guaranteed to be profitable.

Dan Quayle was a Senator from Pence's state of Indiana. A very smart guy that ate Teddy Kennedy's lunch over nuclear arms debate. He was a Reagan man through and through, 30 years ago. He was brutally used by the H W administration, I think because of it. Maybe Dan and Al will come out and bring their reputations with them and support Mr. Pence. That'll be fun.

His act is finally so over with any America-loving, God-fearing conservative. I think, HE really thinks the ole Bush-Rove playbook is gonna work for him. Trump outted this guy and I was very sorry to see his brother was elected to anything!! Dan Quayle. Nice man. Unfortunately, those Bush era nice men allowed great damage to the country by consistently refusing to FIGHT. They all chose the easy go along get along way which prospered them and their families. I prefer patriots because the “nice” risk averse types were not to be found amongst the Founders of this great nation.

#18, when Pence was governor of Indiana, the state legislature passed a law which banned LGBTs from suing people for not making cakes, etc. IIRC, it was called the Freedom of Religion Act. Pence signed it and then, when the alphabet folks went nuts, he caved and “unsigned” it. I was not happy when Trump chose him - he proved himself to be completely untrustworthy way back then and had done it repeatedly ever since. He’s a snake. Al Gore???? Maybe Mikey is looking for his own second Chakra.

You already know what’s happening. In Tennessee, the Legislature passed a bill that puts a stop to transgender surgeries for minors, and the Left went crazy. Not long after the bill passed, a biological female still living at home at 28 snapped, descending on a Christian school in a psychotic rage and killing three school staffers and three 9-year-olds before law enforcement gave her the suicide-by-cop she wanted. The shooter wrote a manifesto explaining the crime, which the police still refuse to release — a telltale sign that trans politics played a role. CORRECTION*

A sizable majority of likely voters believe that the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, was provoked by government agents secretly operating in the crowds, a stunning rejection of the blame that Justice Department prosecutors and a special House panel have put squarely on the head of former President Donald Trump. While many had suspicions of undercover agents fanning anger in the crowd about Trump’s electoral loss to President Joe Biden, the airing of never-before-seen videos by Fox’s Tucker Carlson jumped that number to 65% in the latest Rasmussen Reports survey.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unloaded on her Supreme Court colleagues Friday in a series of sharp dissents, castigating what she called a "pure textualism" approach to interpreting laws, which she said had become a pretext for securing their desired outcomes, and implying the conservative justices have strayed from their oath by showing favoritism to "moneyed interests." The attack on the court's conservative majority by the junior justice and member of the liberal wing is notably pointed and aggressive but stopped short of getting personal. It laid bare the stark divisions on the court and pent-up frustration in the minority over what Jackson described as inconsistent and unfair application of precedent

In a fearless and practical move to shore up immigration enforcement, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has pitched a novel concept to the Trump administration: a 39‑square‑mile detention site in the Everglades, slyly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Situated on the abandoned Dade‑Collier airport—as part of the Big Cypress Wildlife Management Area—this remote facility would capitalize on Florida’s natural defenses. ICE currently holds around 53,000 migrants in facilities funded for just 41,500 beds, according to WLRN. This “Alligator Alcatraz” could house up to 1,000 criminal illegal entrants, built in as little as 30–60 days — a swift addition to national security infrastructure.

The Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold Tennessee’s law prohibiting so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors was a victory for common sense, but has sent the left into a tailspin. It’s hard to believe anyone could defend such barbarism toward children, but this is the Democratic Party of today. And one of the worst offenders was Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). In her typical fashion, Warren took to social media to decry the ruling, claiming, “Trans kids suffer when they don’t get medically necessary care. This is a brazen political decision by the Supreme Court. My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones.

Shortly after sunrise, Iran launched a barrage of 20-30 missiles in three waves, according to Israel’s Army Radio. Sirens were sounded in the north, and then throughout the entire country. Most of the missiles were intercepted by Israel’s air defenses; the missile that hit the port city of Haifa, where Arabs and Jews live side-by-side, was the only one that caused injuries on the ground. It turns out that one of the damaged buildings was the Al-Jreena Mosque, one of the most important Muslim houses of worship in the city. Muslim clerics, or imams, were in the mosque, presumably ahead of weekly juma’ah services held on Fridays.
