Who will be Donald Trump's VP?

First, it's important to admit that the pundits don't know with 100% certainty who will be Donald Trump's vice president. Lots of people have opinions on who it'll be. Further, Trump himself floats a different name as his potential running mate. The first name floated was Doug Burgum. After that, Marco Rubio's name was floated. This week's choice appears to be Tom Cotton.

It wouldn't be fair to wrap this section up without mentioning the names of Elise Stefanik, Kim Reynolds and Nikki Haley. The names listed each bring something positive to the ticket. Burgum is a businessman with extensive expertise in the oil industry. He's the governor of a well-run state (North Dakota), too. That isn't nothing. Rubio understands foreign policy like nobody else in the GOP. He's rock-solid on Israel, too, which is essential with Trump. Sen. Tom Cotton has been toughest on China, especially on rebuilding the Pacific fleet.

I've noticed, though, that a name has been conspicuously missing from the names Trump has floated. I've noticed that Gov. DeSantis' name has been missing. Thanks to Ryan Saavedra's Daily Wire reporting, that name isn't missing anymore:

The Associated Press reported that DeSantis and his allies met in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this week over a fancy dinner where the governor pressed them over the importance of helping Trump. The governor and dozens of allies then spent Thursday morning fundraising for Trump, bringing in more than $3 million for the super political action committee Right for America, the report said. Trump called into the meeting to thank everyone for their efforts and then praised the governor: "Ron, I love that you’re back."

A top Trump ally told the publication that Trump World was "thrilled by the support we are receiving from Governor DeSantis."

Check this out: Despite all of the trial baloons being floated by Trump, Gov. DeSantis makes the most sense to be Trump's VP. Everyone is impressed with Gov. DeSantis, aka America's governor. There's no questioning Gov. DeSantis's America First credentials, either. DeSantis already has plans to dismantle the Deep State, too, which means Trump could focus on fixing the economy.

It's always been obvious that Gov. DeSantis was the best candidate to extend Trump's legacy. Gov. DeSantis is a man of accomplishments. Just look at the lengthy list of conservative legislation that Gov. DeSantis has signed into law.

Finally, Gov. DeSantis is great as a work partner. Assigning him a responsibility isn't like assigning Kamala Harris a task. In fact, they're opposites in that respect.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
