JD Vance Just Lost It as Catholic Bishops Drop a Bomb on Him!
JD Vance's time would be better spent applying his eyeliner rather than spending it lecturing the pope in matters of theology! 😊 — © Mark Alexander

Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The vice president, who is Catholic, took issue with Pope Leo XIV’s statement that disciples of Christ are “never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.”
Vice President JD Vance invoked World War II on Tuesday to defend the U.S. bombing of Iran from criticism by Pope Leo XIV, extending the Trump administration’s spat with the Catholic Church and underlining the White House’s struggle to justify an unpopular war.
Mr. Vance, who is Catholic, told a conservative audience at the University of Georgia that the pope was wrong to say that disciples of Christ are “never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.”
“Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis?” Mr. Vance said after referring to the pope’s comment. “I certainly think the answer is yes.”
President Trump has appeared stung by Leo’s condemnation of the war, criticism that has highlighted the challenge the administration faces from the coalition of conservative and religious voters who helped elect Mr. Trump in 2024. The president lashed out at the pope on Sunday in a social media post that called the first American-born pontiff “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” » | Anton Troianovski | Reporting from Washington | Tuesday, April 14, 2026
For JD Vance to question Pope Leo's understanding of theology is truly the height of insolence. JD Vance is being impudent, impertinent, and he is showing extremely bad form. How shameless can one be? — Mark Alexander

Mohammad Marandi on Talks with US: Iran Will Not Give Up Its Sovereignty and Rights
Apr 15, 2026 | The first peace talks between the US and Iran, held in Islamabad, Pakistan from April 11 to 12, ended with no agreement reached. Before departing Islamabad, the head of the US delegation, Vice President JD Vance, told the media they "could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms."
US President Donald Trump hinted the two sides could resume talks within this week.
Seyed Mohammad Marandi, professor at the University of Tehran, was among the Iranian delegation in Islamabad. In an interview with CGTN's Li Jingjing, he shared his observations, and explained why the terms and conditions the US side offered was unacceptable to Iran.
It sounds to me as if JD Vance had a temper tantrum because he couldn't get his own way! — © Mark Alexander

Renaud Girard : « Les deux échecs du vice-président américain JD Vance »
LE FIGARO : CHRONIQUE - Les déplacements du vice-président américain, en Hongrie pour soutenir Viktor Orban, puis au Pakistan, pour négocier la paix avec l’Iran, ont été des échecs cuisants. S’il n’en tire pas des leçons, son rêve de devenir le 48e président des États-Unis d’Amérique pourrait s’envoler.
Les deux derniers voyages à l’étranger du vice-président américain, James David Vance, furent pour la Hongrie, afin d’y soutenir la campagne électorale de Viktor Orban, puis pour le Pakistan, afin d’y négocier une paix avec l’Iran. Ils se sont soldés par deux échecs retentissants. En allant, le 7 avril 2026, soutenir en Hongrie un régime prorusse miné par la corruption, et qui sera, cinq jours plus tard, balayé par les urnes, le vice-président américain a singulièrement manqué de flair politique.
En quittant prématurément, le 12 avril 2026, le Pakistan, où se tenaient les premières négociations politiques directes entre les États-Unis et l’Iran depuis la révolution islamique de 1979 à Téhéran, JD Vance a montré qu’il manquait de patience diplomatique. Il était évident qu’après quarante-sept ans de guerre larvée et de ressentiment accumulé, les Iraniens n’allaient pas tout lâcher à la minute, et que l’Amérique et la Perse n’allaient pas réussir à faire la paix en moins de 24 heures de négociations. » | Par Renaud Girard | lundi 13 avril 2026

Democracy Now! Ahead of Hungary Election, JD Vance Campaigns with Orbán in Show of Support for Far Right in Europe
Aug 10, 2026 | Amid strains in U.S.-European relations, the Trump administration has worked to strengthen ties with Hungary and its far-right leader, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who is facing his biggest challenge in 16 years. With just days to go before parliamentary elections, Orbán's Fidesz party is trailing the center-right pro-EU Tisza party led by Péter Magyar. U.S. Vice President JD Vance traveled to Budapest this week and appeared alongside Orbán to openly campaign for his reelection.
"This election is really crucial, not just for Hungary, but for the international right wing," says Kim Lane Scheppele, professor of sociology and international affairs at Princeton University. "There's been a lot of American signaling that the U.S. would really love to have Viktor Orbán be reelected. The problem is the Hungarian people don't seem to agree."
Scheppele also discusses the role of Sebastian Gorka, a top counterterrorism official in the Trump administration, who has longstanding ties to the far right in Hungary and has been instrumental in forging closer ties between the two governments. According to a recent New York Times investigation, Gorka is also leading an effort to target left-wing groups in the United States and abroad as "terrorist organizations."
Viktor Orbán, JD Vance, Donald Trump et al — all are birds of a feather! If Hungarians are wise, they will kick the corrupt Orbán out of office and take their country back. Just as Americans need to do with Trump. — © Mark Alexander

Steve Schmidt: The Dangerous Alliance between MAGA and Europe’s Far Right
It is to be hoped that Hungarian voters find it within themselves to kick that repugnant, objectionable, loathsome and corrupt Viktor Orbán OUT OF OFFICE. People like Viktor Orbán, JD Vance, and Donald Trump are so odious. They seem to be competing with each other to steal the ‘crown of odiousness’! Fact is, when it comes to odiousness, it would be difficult to slip a cigarette paper between them! — © Mark Alexander

JD Vance’s Claims about Orbán, the EU and Hungary Fact-checked
THE GUARDIAN: US vice-president said bloc tried to ‘destroy’ country’s economy, despite it being a net recipient of EU funds
During his visit to Budapest, where he heaped praise on the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, days before the country’s decisive election, JD Vance claimed the EU was responsible for “one of the worst examples of election interference” he had ever seen.
Standing alongside Orbán on Tuesday, the US vice-president said: “The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy-independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers. And they’ve done it all because they hate this guy.”

Steve Schmidt: America Has Hit the Iceberg

Trump’s Next Greenland Move Will ‘Blow the GOP to Bits’ | Scott Lucas
If it is true that the US wants to destroy the European Union, then the European Union must do everything in its power to destroy the US first. Bring the US to its knees! Be ruthless!

Should Greenland Push for Independence So That It Can Negotiate Directly with Washington? | DW News
9 Jan 2026 | U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Europe to take Donald Trump's desire to take control of Greenland "seriously." Trump has repeatedly stated his desire to own the Danish territory for reasons of national security.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that she does not believe the United States will use military force to take over the island. She called for a stronger NATO presence in the Arctic and warned that any American move on Greenland would have major implications for the alliance. The U.S.'s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has rekindled concerns about its intentions toward Greenland.
