We've always been yuge J.D. Vance fans in this house. Kinda goes without
saying, right?

I mean, obviously, the Marine Corps connection always gives someone an
initial leg up in our estimation, but to keep it, you have to earn it.

After reading Hillbilly Elegy, we had a greater appreciation for the young
guy we were seeing on CSPAN book tours and reading about in interviews (we
still got the NYT delivered back then).

Then he decided to go into politics and wanted to represent Ohio. It
seemed like a natural progression, and he seemed like a natural for it.

Vance has an exceptionally easy-going manner, always polite and pleasant,
but whipsmart, and can go for the jugular in a confrontation while
effortlessly maintaining his serene countenance. Maybe it was surviving
and thriving after all the mayhem in his childhood that taught him "water
off a duck's back."

Whatever it was, I wish he could bottle it.

The guy is gifted, and thank God he's on our side.

He hadn't been a senator for very long - less than two years - when Donald
Trump selected him in July as his vice presidential running mate.

Former President Donald Trump chose Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running
mate on Monday, picking a onetime critic who became a loyal ally and is
now the first millennial to join a major-party ticket at a time of deep
concern about the advanced age of America�s political leaders.

�After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous
talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to
assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D.
Vance of the Great State of Ohio,� Trump said in a post on his Truth
Social network as the Republican National Convention got underway in
Milwaukee.

We were tickled.

Lots of Republicans moaned. Some of it I understood - favorites had been
dissed in the pick. A lot of it I didn't. There were these complete,
disgusted dismissals of political "lightweight," "poser" - all sorts of
over-the-top derision. And more of the inherent Eeyores we lug around with
us as a party, who are always mourning popped red balloons at the back of
the crowd.

Predictably, the progressive Left went nuts and started their patented
fraudulent dogpiling with pithy Vance-isms, like "childless cat ladies."

Enlisting celebrities to rage piously on cue and whip up the emotions of
those very childless cat ladies...

Actress Jennifer Aniston hit back at Republican vice presidential nominee
JD Vance for past comments he made about lawmakers he described as
"childless cat ladies." "The Morning Show" and "Friends" star responded to
a post about Vance on her Instagram Stories.

"I truly can't believe this is coming from a potential VP of the United
States," Aniston wrote Wednesday. "All I can say is� Mr. Vance, I pray
that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one
day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because
you are trying to take that away from her, too."

....while leaving, as they do with always popular "fine people" canard, the
rest of the conversation that day conveniently out of the picture as it
blows their narrative.

The media loved the controversies they could manufacture with just a few
of the pithy sound bites provided by the senator's spontaneous
interactions and stump speeches. They also thoroughly enjoyed fueling the
angst over the Vance pick within a nervous and still not totally coalesced
Republican base.

In August, ABC was busy snickering that Vance was, well...let's just say
he couldn't hold a candle to Tim Walz.

JD Vance is more unpopular than Sarah Palin

Vance is one of the least popular vice-presidential picks this century.

It's important to make a good first impression � whether you're on a first
date, interviewing for a job or running to be vice president of the United
States. And the two men who recently joined the Republican and Democratic
presidential tickets have made very different first impressions.

According to 538's new polling average of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's
favorable and unfavorable ratings, the Democratic candidate for vice
president has an unusual quality for a modern politician: He's well liked.
As of Aug. 15 at 1 p.m. Eastern, 38 percent of Americans have a favorable
opinion of him, and 33 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.

....By contrast, Americans aren't vibing with the Republican vice-
presidential nominee. On average, only 33 percent have a favorable opinion
of Sen. JD Vance, while 42 percent have an unfavorable one.

The print media had a heyday with, "Man, that Vance sucks big time"
stories.

Everyone in reality-based America agrees: Sen. JD Vance of Ohio is not
well-liked. His national rollout after being picked as Donald Trump's
running mate is likely the worst in modern history. Vance is deeply
plugged into the fascism-curious world of the extremely online right.
There's been a drumbeat of stories of him endorsing views like hunger is a
"great motivation" to work, the "whole purpose of the postmenopausal
female" is to provide free childcare, and that progressives are "unhumans"
who deserve fascist violence. The seemingly endless number of clips of him
condemning childless women as "sociopaths" and "miserable cat ladies" have
drawn the most attention, likely because it's tied to the larger GOP
agenda of forcing childbirth through abortion bans.

Then, the debate happened. The JD Vance on stage was no surprise to those
of us already in his camp, but holy cow, did he turn a lot of doubters
into believers that night and earned himself serious fans.

Even Politico had the kudos going.

JD Vance arrived on the debate stage the butt of endless jokes from
Democrats. He was unpopular. And even some Republicans had second-guessed
Donald Trump�s decision to pick him as his running mate.

But on Tuesday, Vance reasserted his place in the race: He�s the lone
Republican on the national ticket delivering a sharp message aimed
squarely at Kamala Harris...

....If Vance�s out-performing of Walz was primarily on style, he also
excelled, for the most part, in his plan to prosecute Harris over the
uneven economy. Vance spoke colloquially and resisted the too-online MAGA
rat-a-tat that�s consumed coverage of the freshman Ohio senator since
Trump chose him this summer.

Anecdotal evidence from the street confirmed JD had turned a corner in
public opinion.

There was also what will forever be known as 'The Look.'

From that point on, the words most associated with Vance have been
"murder" and "love."

As in, "911? I want to report a MURDER..."

"Love" as in "We LOVE this guy."

The inevitable has happened, and all the affirmative, excited, JD-boosting
and boasting we've seen and shared has finally made it to the quantifiable
stage.

Survey says?

People are pretty wild about Vance.

All it took was a hostile media, a chance for folks actually to see him in
action, and there's no way JD wouldn't shine.

And Trump knows he is shining, too, by extension.

It takes a competent, confident guy to submerge an outsized ego and pick
an equally talented Number Two.

Whoda ever thunk - we've got ourselves quite a team.

TAMPA, Fla. - Police found a dead baby wrapped in a towel and discarded in a garbage bin near a dorm at the University of Tampa on Sunday night.

According to the Tampa Police Department, officers located a dead baby wrapped in a towel and placed in a garbage bin at around 7 p.m. near McKay Hall.

TPD located the child's mother, who police said is a UT student, and took her to a nearby hospital.

"The loss of a child is always a tragedy," said Chief Lee Bercaw. "As our department actively investigates this incident, we want all expectant mothers to know there are resources available."

Video from late Sunday night showed TPD forensic teams near the dorm, a residence hall sitting in the middle of campus and housing first-year students.

Just before midnight, students received a campus alert text message warning students of the investigation near McKay Hall, telling them to avoid the area, and assuring them there was no threat to the university community.

The Tampa Police Department released the following statement on the incident:

"The Tampa Police Department reminds the community that Florida has a Safe Haven Law, which allows parents to anonymously surrender an unharmed newborn infant seven days old or younger to any Fire Station, EMS station, or hospital staffed by full-time emergency medical technicians, paramedics, or firefighters. There will be no questions asked, and no charges will be filed for surrendering a newborn under the Safe Haven Law unless the infant has signs of abuse or neglect."

Nick Silverio, the founder of A Safe Haven for Newborns, said he hopes incidents like this put the spotlight on the state's Safe Haven Law and the help available for struggling new and prospective mothers.

"We provide so many services that are offered at no cost to help the moms confidentially with counseling, shelters, maternity homes, providing temporary motel stays, if that's the case," said Silverio. "Help with abuse issues with transportation services, taking to medical appointments and connecting to Medicaid, also in the partnership with the hospitals and the fire departments of placing the newborn in the arms of a staff member at a designated safe haven location. So it just absolutely breaks our heart."

TAMPA, Fla. - The mother of a baby found dead in a garbage bin at the University of Tampa on Sunday told police she gave birth to the baby in a dorm bathroom before it briefly cried and then died, recently released court records show.

READ: Newborn baby found dead in garbage bin on University of Tampa campus, mother hospitalized: TPD

According to a search warrant, Tampa Police officers served a search warrant at the McKay Hall dorm at UT two days after EMS responded to a call about a woman possibly having a miscarriage at the dorm. Paramedics ended up clearing the call after the woman told them the blood was from her menstrual period.

The next day, police responded to the dorm after students reported finding a deceased fetus in a bag. A UT security officer looked inside the bag and saw the torso of a baby. The report indicates the baby was ‘deceased and beyond help.’

In an interview with investigators, the 19-year-old UT student said she gave birth to a baby on Saturday without knowing that she had been pregnant in a shared dormitory bathroom. She had begun to feel sick and nauseous at around 7 a.m.

After giving birth, the baby started crying for about five seconds. The mother then picked the baby up and put it to her chest, with the baby facing her chest, and the baby stopped crying, according to records.

She told police she felt the baby's chest for a heartbeat and didn't feel anything or feel any signs of life. The mother then wrapped the baby in a towel, placed the girl on the floor, and then fell asleep for about an hour.

Upon waking up, the 19-year-old told police she then checked the baby one more time for signs of life, didn't feel anything, and then wrapped it back up in the towel and placed it in a trash can in the dorm room. She then went back to sleep.

The student later told officers she may have been in denial about not being pregnant and hadn't had a period in about a year.

So far, no charges have been filed. TPD is awaiting autopsy results from the Medical Examiner.

TAMPA, Fla. - A 19-year-old has been arrested in connection with the death of a baby found last spring on the University of Tampa campus.

Brianna Moore was arrested on Friday in Mississippi and charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child, child neglect with great bodily harm, failure to report death, and unlawful storage of human remains.

According to the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office, Moore’s roommates reported hearing the sounds of a baby crying and finding blood in their shared bathroom at McKay Hall on April 27.

They called the University of Tampa Campus Safety, who sent an ambulance to check on Moore. The suspect denied being pregnant and told an officer the blood in the bathroom was from her period.

PREVIOUS: Newborn baby found dead in garbage bin on University of Tampa campus, mother hospitalized: TPD

The next day, Moore’s roommates found a bloody towel inside the suspect’s trashcan and called police once again, according to the Hillsborough County state attorney.

Authorities say they found the dead newborn hidden inside a towel.

When Tampa police interviewed Moore that day, she admitted to delivering the baby in the bathroom and holding the baby tightly to her body until she stopped crying.

She told investigators she placed the baby in a towel and put her in the trashcan.

An autopsy revealed the infant had multiple fractured ribs along her spine and hemorrhaging in her lungs. The Medical Examiner determined the cause of death was asphyxia due to compression of the torso with the manner of death being homicide.

PREVIOUS: University of Tampa student gave birth in dorm bathroom, baby died soon after: Warrant

"It breaks my heart to know that this baby girl could still be alive today if this woman had alerted authorities that she needed help. Instead, she took actions that directly led to the death of her newborn baby. This is a difficult and nuanced case to prosecute, and our community must continue to educate women about the many resources available to them in situations like this one. This baby’s death was avoidable," said Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez.

Moore is currently being held at Lauderdale County (MS) Jail, pending extradition back to Tampa.

Florida lawmakers recently expanded the state’s Safe Haven laws in July to allow parents to anonymously surrender unwanted newborns up to 30 days after birth without any questions. A parent who has just given birth can surrender a child to medical staff at a hospital or any fire station.

NORTH PHILADELPHIA - Terrifying moments for a group gathered in North Philadelphia as a gunman took aim and fired into a crowd, hitting seven people.

The shooting started at the corner of North 11th and West Cumberland streets, near a park, early Saturday morning, around 3:30, officials said. Two males had a dispute earlier in the night during a party at the location and people then began to leave. Within a short time, according to authorities, the shooter came back to the gathering with a weapon.

This is when the gunman fired over 50 shots into the crowd still gathered. When he was finished, seven people were injured, including a 16-year-old girl shot in the chest.

As the gunfire started, those gathered ran to a residence on the 2500 block of North Jessup Street as the gunman pursued them to that location, firing off at least one round.

2500 block of North Jessup Street.
Officials say a 7th victim was found at a third location, North 22nd and West Susquehanna. That victim was suffering from a gunshot wound in the back.

All of the victims were taken to Temple University Hospital. Police took three victims, while medics took another three and one arrived in a private vehicle. The 16-year-old girl is listed in critical condition, while the others are listed as stable.

Police say that private surveillance video captured the violence, as well as Real-Time Crime cameras. Investigators believe the gunman may be a juvenile. They are actively pursuing the individual and searching for a motive.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact police.

Dead, or put in The Bin at the local firehouse or
whatever, the cops WILL do a DNA trace and try their
best to persecute the mother these days.

DNA parentage tests on babies found in The Bin
should be prohibited by law. This WOULD help
things.

Oh, why was there a "guns" group in the mix ???
