VP Vance’s Splinter Problem

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/4/2026 3:51:49 AM

At one time in my life, I was an operating-room nurse, both participating in and witnessing the things that just about every person on earth can’t stand to think about. So, I can say with some authority that splinters in particularly sensitive areas of the body––often the kind that happen when sitting on a fence––can cause significant discomfort. And removing them requires a recovery period that involves quite a bit of post-op pain. Metaphorically speaking, VP JD Vance has been sitting for quite a while on a splintery fence, trying to camouflage his dislike of Jews and Israel with fancified language, while at the same time,

To a hammer everything looks like a nail, and to the Jewess, Ms. Joan Swirsky, everyone looks like an anti-Semite. Ya know, Joan, so long as JD Vance doesn’t advocate mass relocations to labor camps, I think you’ll be fine. As a Christian nation worshipping the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Christ, our responsibility to the Jewish people is in the provision a safe haven in times of oppression. The USA protects Jews within our country. Please don’t confuse that national obligation with a personal choice to “like” someone based on their race or ethnicity.

My wife came to this country as a Jewish refugee in 1949. Her parents fled Poland after Kristallnacht to Belarus and spent the war running. Her mother was wounded three times. Why mention that? My bonafides established, I do not see the Antisemitism Ms Swirsky is ranting about, Tucker ok, but not Vance.

I agree with her on Tucker, so I no longer listen to him. I believe that Israel is an ally worthy of our belief in it. No one or entity is perfect, but if I have to choose, then I choose Israel and her people. HOWEVER, some of the most anti-Semitic rhetoric are coming from Jews themselves, especially those who live in free societies. I don’t understand it, but I have witnessed it.

Not condemning Carlson makes Vance an antisemite? By that logic, every demonicrat who doesn’t condemn the cartels is a drug runner. #6, the names of over 100 of my relatives are on the memorial wall at the Holocaust Museum in Prague. I don’t see Vance’s antisemitism either.

Pure nonsense. I don't condemn Carlson every day just like I don't condemn Anthony Fauci every day but I would not have coffee with either one of them, ever. Swirsky's mistake, the mistake of many of our enlightened journalists, is placing people into groups, categories and saddling them with stereotypes. There are some bad Jews, just as there are bad Whites, bad Blacks and bad Nepalese. but they are all individuals, some of which may have been taught bias and hatred. JD Vance is smart, moral and has come far from humble beginnings. He would make a fine president. Leftists, on the other hand, belong to the groups in which we have placed them and they are all some degree of insane.

FTA - "We need to know that the man who may soon lead the Republican Party does not see Jews and the State of Israel as a problem to be ‘managed’ in his coalition — but as allies central to his vision of America.”" Just wondering if Swirsky's piece was AI-generated and not her writing. Not sure where she got her material from that JD could be antisemitic. It is nonsense to claim that he is. As for the Holocaust, I have heard it all from my Jewish neighbors who recant the loss of easily half of their brothers, aunts, uncles, and parents in Poland during WWII. All because Hitler didn't think they embodied the master race.

This woman, who has never met JD (or she would have mentioned it), has read his mind and drawn conclusions about what he thinks because she thinks he hasn’t said enough about fringe conservatives who are antisemitic. I see some of the posters got sucked right into it. She cites articles and comments from Leftists who belong to the Party that is standing in the street screaming ‘Death to the Jews!’. Many of her own brethren voted for a Jew hating Muslim communist in NYC. Before she attacks JD Vance’s purity she needs a big fat reality check.

So now it's happening before the 2028 presidential election. Smear J.D. Vance any way you can with lies, slander, and libel. I don't believe this woman, Joan Swirsky for a minute. As for Tucker, he's a private citizen and not running for office. We don't agree with him about the U.S. supporting Israel, but that's his opinion. Sadly, Tucker has overlooked our country's history in saving the Jews during WWII, or what scripture says about God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who go against Israel. Pray for Tucker Carlson.

I’m not Jewish, but I am sad so few readers here are sympathetic to a Jewish woman’s fears. Just a few weeks ago, 15 people were killed in Australia by Islamist terrorists. Across Europe and in the UK, Jews are regularly attacked/raped/murdered by Muslim “refugees.” Since 10/7, there have been thousands of anti-Israel protests/riots across America. Jews are the canary in the coal mine. Vance’s very close relationship to Tucker Carlson does make me question Vance’s judgement. And Carlson’s son Buckley is Vance’s deputy press secretary. Tucker Carlson has become an open anti-Semite since being fired by Fox News. But worst of all, he is pro-Islam. For one of numerous examples, Carlson praises the lack of rapes in Islamic countries, ignoring the fact that women who report rape require two men to testify for her that they witnessed the rape. The women who report rape are usually prosecuted for being prostitutes. Yet Tucker said he’s buying a house in Qatar, the home of billionaire Hamas leaders. Carlson praises sharia law, feudalism, thinks Churchill caused WWII. He said Bonhoeffer was wrong to try to assassinate Hitler, that it would be murder which the Bible forbids. Carlson said he hates Christian Zionists the most. Even Victor David Hansen has said he doesn’t understand Carlson anymore and doesn’t know what happened to him. Carlson said at TPUSA Amfest 2025 that if his brother murdered people, Tucker would not turn him in because Tucker a is loyal man. The man awaiting trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk was turned in by his parents. I don’t care about what the ADL or self-hating Jews say, they have cried wolf for too long. The truth is still the truth. Israel and Trump are in the fight against Marxist Islamists. This is the fight for our children and grandchildren now. I don’t know about Vance, and the fight is too important to have a McClellan in charge.

This woman can say whatever she wants, but I believe we have several excellent people who can become our presidential. All of them will become the worst thing since Hitler. Lately I've been leaning towards Marco Rubio because I believe he may actually bring in more voters than the other candidates. He's smart, great at his job, and backs our president 100%. He could give Newsom or any of the other losers a run for their money.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas militants carried out one of the most depraved acts of violence in modern memory. Their surprise assault on Israeli civilians left roughly 1,200 people dead and some 250 taken hostage. Even more chilling was the perpetrators’ evident glee: terrorists filmed and live-streamed their brutality, broadcasting scenes of barbarism across social media in real time. Americans initially responded to the attacks with shock. In the days that followed, however, as Israel launched counterstrikes against Hamas in Gaza, Democrats’ early expressions of solidarity with the Jewish people began to give way to a more pronounced emphasis on the Palestinian cause —

The executive order, made public on Saturday, says that if the funds were to be seized for such use, it could “undermine critical U.S. efforts to ensure economic and political stability in Venezuela.” The order comes amid caution from top oil company executives that the tumult and instability in Venezuela could make the country less attractive for private investment and rebuilding. “If we look at the commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today it’s uninvestable,” said Darren Woods,

The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.

President Donald J. Trump has emerged as the first leader to stand decisively, openly, and courageously with the Iranian people themselves — against the dictatorship, against repression, and in favor of genuine freedom, democracy and peace. What distinguishes Trump's position is not rhetoric, but resolve. For years, Western leaders have issued statements of "concern" while avoiding any action that might inconvenience their diplomatic calculations or economic interests. President Trump broke from that spinelessness. More importantly, Trump sent a direct warning to the Iranian regime: if it continues to kill innocent protesters, he will "rescue" them: the United States will not stand idly by. This is the opposite of a call for war;

She really doesn’t have much choice. President Trump has shown the Venezuelan government how the U.S. can put a complete stranglehold on the South American country if they do not adhere to the transition plans of Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the enforcer. Following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s new government under Delcy Rodríguez has begun releasing political prisoners in a bid to foster unity and peace. The change in Venezuelan politics comes directly as the result of President Trump using the military to block oil shipments, the major source of revenue for the nation.

Mamdani – who backed off his ardent “defund the police” stance during the mayoral campaign – waited 16 hours before he released a statement addressing the bloody pair of police-involved shootings, despite being briefed by Tisch right after each unfolded roughly six hours apart Thursday. The murky Friday morning statement further stoked fury by emphasizing an “internal investigation” would follow the shootings, which some insiders believed implied wrongdoing by NYPD officers, when such probes are par for the course, police sources said.

Delegate Karen Keys-Gamarra (D) introduced legislation to create a $500 tax on suppressor sales in the state of Virginia. The bill, HB 207, “Imposes a firearm suppressor tax equal to $500 per retail sale of any firearm suppressor by a dealer in firearms.” Keys-Gamarra’s bill directs monies from the tax to “be deposited in the general fund.” A long-standing $200 federal tax on suppressors was wiped out by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill which took effect January 1, 2026. This means suppressor sales around the nation are now hundred of dollars lower than they were even one month ago. But HB 207 will force Virginians to ante up $500, on top
