Vice President JD Vance called Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee and an outspoken critic of Israel, “very, very evil” at a campaign rally near Detroit on Monday and accused him of heightening racial and religious divisions.

“I realize that there’s something about Abdul El-Sayed that is very, very evil and on the rise in the United States of America today,” Mr. Vance said at the event at a warehouse in Sterling Heights hosted by MAGA Inc., President Trump’s super PAC.

Mr. Vance was in Michigan campaigning for former Representative Mike Rogers, Dr. El-Sayed’s Republican opponent in one of the nation’s most hotly contested Senate races this fall. The vice president’s remarks appeared aimed at stoking tensions between Dr. El-Sayed and Michigan’s Jewish community, which the Democrat has been attempting to allay since winning his party’s bitter primary against a pro-Israel opponent in early August. » | Bayliss Wagner | Monday, August 31, 2026

Democracy Now! "The Nerd Reich": Author Gil Durán on Big Tech Fascism, Peter Thiel, JD Vance & the War on Democracy

Aug 17, 2026 | A new book by longtime Bay Area journalist Gil Durán investigates “tech fascism” and its mounting influence on U.S. politics. The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy follows the rise of Vice President JD Vance, the former venture capitalist whose “outsider” campaign for Senate was bankrolled by the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Peter Thiel. Durán traces the ideological lineage of the current Trump administration back from Vance to Thiel and the far-right-wing monarchist Curtis Yarvin, whose “right-libertarian” political theory has long made the rounds among Silicon Valley elite. “These guys were never libertarians,” says Durán. “Now that they are the government, we see their true face: They’re fascists, and they’re authoritarians.”

Donald Trump Has Dug His Own Grave | Steve Schmidt

June 29, 2026 | Donald Trump has made the 250th anniversary of America's independence about himself. Steve Schmidt breaks down the empty Great American State Fair, JD Vance's villainy, and why America has turned against Trump's regime.

“Donald Trump is ‘un-American’.” Should we be surprised? His mother was Scottish; and his father had his roots in Germany. Because of family wealth, Trump has never had to have anything much to do with average Americans. So why should we be surprised by the fact that Trump is atypical of Americans in his thinking? He has probably rarely, if ever, mixed with average Americans in his life. The man is a unicum. — © Mark Alexander

Vance Issues Blunt Warning to Israel as He Defends Trump’s Deal

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The vice president delivered a rebuke to Israeli critics of the agreement, warning them not to alienate their most important ally, as the administration sought to rebut mounting criticism of the deal.

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday delivered an extraordinarily direct rebuke to Israeli critics of the U.S.-Iran peace agreement, as he sought to defend the preliminary deal with repeated misrepresentations of some of its terms.

“Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time,” Mr. Vance said. He added, “If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.”

The agreement has faced mounting criticism from Israeli lawmakers, as well as some Republicans in Washington, who argue that it gives Iran economic relief while punting negotiations on its nuclear program down the road.

The 60-day clock for the United States and Iran to negotiate the future of Iran’s nuclear program and other issues has begun, Mr. Vance said.

Not long after, Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said in his first statement since the preliminary agreement was signed that Iran would not submit to “excessive demands,” according to Iranian state media.

“In-person negotiations that will take place in the future do not mean accepting the enemy’s view,” he said in the statement, which cast his country’s bargaining position as a strong one. Mr. Trump, he said, had struck a deal “out of desperation.”

Israel is not a party to the deal, and its fighting with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia in Lebanon, had threatened to derail the U.S.-Iran talks, to the increasing frustration of American officials. Mr. Vance’s barbed remarks from the White House came a day after President Trump himself admonished Israel over its military campaign.

Mr. Vance also reminded Israeli critics of the deal that, according to him, two-thirds of the weapons “that have protected your homeland” were American-made and paid for by Americans’ tax dollars.

I wouldn’t trust JD Vance any more than I would trust a viper! Having Trump at the helm has been, is, and will continue to be bad enough. Having JD Vance at the helm would be an even bigger nightmare! He is also an incessant liar.

Let This Be a Warning – If Europe Worries about Trump, It Has Even More Reason to Fear JD Vance

THE GUARDIAN: His toxic Henry Nowak intervention fits a pattern. Vance has hard-right views, a disdain for European society – and he may yet become president

Immigration is falling in Britain. It’s falling so fast and so hard – net migration to the UK nearly halved between 2024 and 2025 – that before long we could conceivably be a shrinking population, with more people leaving the country than coming here. (And no, that’s not because of an exodus of bright young Britons fleeing overseas, though you wouldn’t blame them given how hard they’re finding it currently to get jobs: the rise, as the Institute for Government’s Sam Freedman helpfully points out, is mainly in foreign students and foreign workers going home.) Even small-boat crossings are down on last year. We have, in short, finally made ourselves as unattractive to the rest of the world as leave voters always wanted – which means that, sooner or later, populists who built their careers on railing against supposedly uncontrolled immigration are going to be needing another scapegoat to explain why taking back control hasn’t magically solved all the country’s problems. And with a grim inevitability, they’re finding it in turning on migrants who are already here. » | Gaby Hinsliff | Tuesday, June 9, 2026

I find JD Vance to be totally and utterly disagreeable. To me, he is a most unsympathetic character, whom I find untrustworthy.

US Fails to Secure Deal with Iran Resulting in Further Energy Chaos and Risk of World Recession

Apr 14, 2026 | After failing to secure a peace deal and instead declaring a full U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, Donald Trump adopted a far more aggressive strategy to achieve a goal he has pursued for weeks: restoring unrestricted global access through the Strait of Hormuz. The move appears designed to intensify pressure on Tehran following the collapse of direct negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan over the weekend, which failed to produce a path toward ending the conflict. Trump also indicated that other nations might join the effort, but early signs suggested limited support, with Benjamin Netanyahu emerging as the only leader to publicly endorse the plan.

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

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.
