Vance<\/b> of Ohio, officially accepted the GOP&#8217;s nomination for Vice President during his remarks at the <b>Republican National Convention<\/b> on Wednesday night. His speech was long on hillbilly biography but <i>very<\/i> short (virtually bereft) of the horrifying policies that Vance actually supports. Helpfully today, we correct his oversight with <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1vnYYq4bXRNqjugQcCZuKphkbHAY2H6TWddZr0YD-Z_Y\/edit?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1cFSs2Nqq39qnXGymNoPxGDNbDrv5yKoYIxeg9fW8FzYQBJq7TdTy3zis_aem_a6FG1HhfEViGcNXQE_4Urg&#038;pli=1\">actual facts and policy proposals<\/a> from the ambitious Yale-educated Senator, including his push for a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions; ending no-fault divorce; slashing Social Security and Medicare; embracing <a href=\"https:\/\/project2025.org\">Project 2025<\/a>, turning over <b>Ukraine<\/b> to <b>Russia<\/b> and much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>While leaving out his radical policy positions, Vance also dropped a few big <i>lies<\/i> about a number of things during Wednesday speech. When it comes to his lies about all-time record, world-leading energy production under <b>Joe Biden<\/b>, our own Desi Doyen has a few thoughts and a corrective that J.D. and his convicted conman running mate would prefer you didn&#8217;t listen to. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Self-proclaimed &#8220;Liberal Redneck&#8221; comedian <b>Trae Crowder<\/b>, who hung out with the GOP&#8217;s new Veep nominee back in the days when Vance regarded Trump as &#8220;America&#8217;s Hitler&#8221;, also has <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5eMMZksZSL8\">a few insights<\/a> on him today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>What explains the <a href=\"https:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/edblog\/pretty-passive\">complete lack of pressing<\/a> by <b>corporate media<\/b> for <i>any<\/i> kind of official medical statement on the injury suffered by <b>Donald Trump<\/b> during last Saturday&#8217;s assassination attempt?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Chief U.S. District Court Judge in <b>Nevada<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/thenevadaindependent.com\/article\/judge-tosses-gop-suit-that-sought-to-end-nevadas-post-election-day-ballot-counting\">tossed out<\/a> a suit on Wednesday brought by the <b>Trump Campaign<\/b>, the <b>RNC<\/b> and the <b>Nevada GOP<\/b> seeking to block the counting of potentially tens of thousands of perfectly legal mail ballots in the battleground state, cast and timely post-marked by Election Day, but arriving up to four days after, as allowed by NV state law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>With <b>President Biden<\/b> now <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-covid-las-vegas-ff29bb071f18b993d20dedccbe2c8fbf\">battling COVID again<\/a>, top Democrats, including former President <b>Barack Obama<\/b>, House Speaker Emerita <b>Nancy Pelosi<\/b>, Senate Majority Leader <b>Chuck Schumer<\/b> and House Minority Leader <b>Hakeem Jeffries<\/b> have all <i>reportedly<\/i> been <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-democrats-drop-out-election-2024-3f9e3d15431fd4974771a54e1d0e4ea7\">pressing the President<\/a>, in various ways, to reconsider his insistence on staying in the race for reelection. If there is to be a change at the top of the ticket, it is believed likely to come (and would <i>need<\/i> to come) within days. Perhaps as soon as this weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the meantime, <b>President Biden<\/b> has been continuing to present new, popular policies &#8212; as all Democrats should be joining him in doing at this point. This week, for example, Biden is reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2024\/07\/16\/biden-supreme-court-reforms\/\">planning to issue<\/a> a long-overdue proposal for <b>SCOTUS<\/b> reform to include term limits and an enforceable code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices. He will also be proposing a Constitutional amendment to counter the Court&#8217;s recent corrupt ruling granting criminal immunity to Presidents. Also this week, Biden has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-07-16\/biden-calls-for-national-rent-cap-on-large-landlords-to-stem-housing-inflation\">called for<\/a> a national rent control statute that would cap rent increases at 5% annually unless landlords choose to forego federal tax write-offs. <i>These<\/i> are the sort of things that Dems <i>should<\/i> be doing right now, rather than squabbling amongst themselves.
