The current vice president is giving Dan Quayle a good name.

JD Vance is a young, bright fellow. But like the Yankees shortstop, Anthony Volpe, he is far more promise than delivery. The Yankees had big expectations for the young infielder, but unlike, say, Aaron Judge, he has not lived up to the hype. One can definitely say the vice president, apparently still friendly with his benefactor Tucker Carlson, does not know how to act presidential.

I know that we are all supposed to line up behind our candidate for president to keep out the lunatic lefty Democrats’ offering. Fine. But we haven’t figured out yet who that person is. Marco Rubio coyly says that IF JD runs for president, he will not. Others might still try their luck, even if the current vice president decides to run. We are allowed to criticize our candidates and representatives, with the understanding that the critiques are honest, fair, and made in good faith. I believe that I can check all three of those boxes.

Vance went on the Joe Rogan show and once again took pot-shots at Israel. One can criticize Israel to his heart’s content, but Vance doesn’t realize that the people gobbling up his words actually use his position as actionable information. In the Torah, we have the story of the death of Aaron, the brother of Moses. It was said that when he passed away, the heavenly clouds that accompanied the Jews in the desert dispersed. Some of the Jews’ enemies of the day took that as a sign that God had abandoned them and decided to attack. When Vance reflexively attacks Israel, he is strengthening those who either wish to sit out the Abraham Accords (Saudi Arabia) or bomb Israel (Iran). Not every Jew hater has his hair on fire and screams, “Death to the Jews!” There were many fine Americans who would never step foot in Katz’s Deli or Abromawitz’s True Value Hardware, for their personal distaste of Jews.

On Rogan’s........
