I miss Vice President Mike Pence, and you should too
Gulf Today
|April 15, 2025
Thatis, if you appreciate the second incommand standing up for his oath to the Constitution instead of a man, and if you long for the days when America respected our European allies and was a proud member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
You can certainly disagree with Pence's ideology, but all Americans should be able to appreciate his willingness to draw a line.
On a recent trip to the US military's Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, current Vice President JD Vance said, "We can't just ignore the president's desires" when speaking about President Donald Trump's fascination with acquiring Greenland. Sorry, vice president. Yes, in some cases, we can ignore the "president's desires," and in other cases, we should, as in the case of Pence on Jan. 6, 2021.
Vance went on to say, "When the president says we have to have Greenland, what he's saying is this island is not safe" from the likes of Russia and China.
