On one hand, we are winning the war with Iran. This week, bombings greatly accelerated and are not likely to end without real capitulation and surrender. On the other hand, the Vice President seems to be at odds with the administration, unhappy that we are in a (winning) war and casting blame for the failure of his peace effort, which is really only Iran’s fault.
On one hand, the President has declassified documents credibly showing foreign influence and interference with our elections. On the other hand, major news outlets seem determined to keep their viewers from knowing this

For now we are stuck in democrats bizarro world. We need to keep revealing the truth until they can't hide any more. You might end up with a lot of democrats in straitjackets, but that's OK with me. The next 2 years should be fun to watch.

The MSM could have claimed this was all “old news” if they had ever bothered to report it in the first place. Instep they buried it. The President’s address is still buried.

JD Vance is talking himself right out of the next presidency and clearing the path for Rubio. Anybody, and I mean anybody who believes that one can negotiate in good faith with the murdering mullahs of Iran or their IRGC is a prime candidate for the purchase of the Brooklyn Bridge. We are doing now what we should have been doing all along, pounding Iran until the last drone, missile and boat has been destroyed, then aid the people in their revolution. JD is a good man but he has a lot to learn.

FTA - "The Vance negotiations allowed Trump more time to work with Iran’s neighbors to encourage them to join us and offer them protection from anticipated Iranian aggression while setting in play steps to keep oil flowing to prevent a worldwide economic catastrophe. Vance willingly but naively believed in his mission. No one else in the Administration did, although they did nothing to undercut him. If he succeeded, it was good. If he failed -- and he certainly did because the task was futile from the outset -- he bore the brunt of it."
It is unfortunate that JD apparently thought the mullahs and irgc and the negotiations were honorable. He learned a hard lesson here. Or he actually did regard the negotiations as a farce and was willing to be the fall guy to advantage his boss and our military.

No 3, You said it all, full stop and all that stuff. Vance is what some call a moderate Republican, but the rest of us call a squish.

VP Vance was a combat correspondent in the USMC; just another journalist trained to spin things. He has little experience in elected office; couple years as a Senator. Private sector experience; wrote a best selling autobiography and advised on the movie adaptation and that’s about it. Maybe some corporate attorney experience-great just what this country needs is another attorney as President. No I am not keen on Vance. DeSantis or Rubio (presuming Rubio doesn’t fall for the pathways for illegals to be legal).

Vance has a Hindu wife. Strange that he apparently failed to understand the true nature of Muslims & Islam.

The truth is out there and not going away. Alcatraz Island Prison will again be occupied and the Commies know it! JD has to be reminded that it not real to be *like Mike*!

I'm with Poster #6.
De Santis is my first choice - - Rubio second. I don't think Vance would make my Top Ten - - although I do love Usha.

What is going on with J.D.? Has he become peace at any price, a peacenik?
And for him to blame Israel for Iran's aggression is downright crazy.
Israel is out for self preservation, not an expansionist like Russia.
BTW we don't have to agree with Israel's policies like mandated clot shots
to be supportive of the right of Israel to exist.

Looks like Vance has given a step up to DeS and Rubio. Both good contenders, but Rubio has the international bona- fides, and Cuban heritage.

I'll take a hard pass on all three--Vance, Rubio, & DeSantis. We can do much better than these Deep State Rinos!!!

We were promised no more forever wars. We are fighting for Israel, and some realize it will cost us the midterms. Just take the MoU since we won the war.

(1) Jeff Childers posted an excellent takedown Friday of the New York Times' "fact check" of the President's speech on his Coffee and Covid substack. Notably, the same media outlets that are valorizing the refusal of California and other blue states to submit their voter registration data to the U.S. Department of Justice for analysis are now contending that it is no big deal that Communist China has already stolen the same data. (2) The cease-fire framework was a roadmap for developing a final agreement if Iran demonstrated good faith, principally by ceasing its attacks on vessels transiting the Gulf of Hormuz. Iran unsurprisingly failed that test, conclusively demonstrating that the United States has no alternative to resuming attacks until Iran surrenders. That is by no means a failure of the framework.
