More of Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance's past comments about women are resurfacing, this time from a 2020 podcast interview in which he and the host discussed "the postmenopausal female."

In an episode of The Portal podcast released in April 2020, Vance — who was recently selected as former President Donald Trump's 2024 running mate — spoke about how his wife, Usha Vance’s mother came to live with their family after one of his children was born.

Host Eric Weinstein, managing director of the venture capital firm Thiel Capital, asked Vance about the experience sharing a roof with his mother-in-law.

The Republican vice presidential candidate said that having his grandma around the house made his son "a much better human being." He continued, "And the evidence on this, by the way, is, like, super clear."

"That's the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female in theory," Weinstein interjects, as Vance says, "Yes."

Weinstein then made a racially charged comment, calling the grandmother’s presence in a home a "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman."

Without acknowledging the jab, Vance continued to call the experience "in some ways, the most transgressive thing I've ever done against, sort of, the hyper-neoliberal approach to work and family."

A confrontation between U.S. Senate rivals Thursday on the Missouri State Fairgrounds may be the closest thing to a live debate in the 2024 campaign.

U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican seeking his second term, arrived at the Governor’s Ham Breakfast looking for Lucas Kunce, the Democrat hoping to unseat him.

He found him, and for about than 20 minutes — until the emcee asked them and the mass of reporters clogging the main aisle to move — they jabbed at each other with personal digs, disputes about whether campaign ads are accurate and when, or if, they would meet formally before television cameras.

“It’s great to see out of your basement, Lucas,” Hawley said at one point. “By the way, are you going to do any campaign events around the state or just media?”

“Josh, why are you so weird?” Kunce responded. “Man, why are you so creepy?”

Josh Hawley spent a day stalking his Dem challenger Lucas Kunce on the State Fairgrounds in Missouri this week. Recording the whole thing so that his constituents would know that he is sooo serious about debating! But only if they do it away from TV cameras.

It was such a huge publicity success for James Davenport Vance when he and his bro squad stalked Kamala, that it just seemed natural for a sycophant like Hawley to follow his lead?

The photos of the effete Ivy Leaguer, "Runnin Josh"; jutting his jaw and pencil neck out towards the former Marine, Kunce was a visual contrast.

I believe I read that Hawley (1) wants to do a Lincoln-Douglas style debate, and (2) didn’t want it broadcast live?

How could anyone not be excited to help elect this man?

If people watch the Daily Show tonight they are going to see why I love J.B.
It's who he really/truly is. Just a good guy down to Earth billionaire.

It reminded me that there is one Chicago thing I have not done yet; Jeppson's Malört. It would be that much better if Gutter was sitting on the bar stool next to me. I'll work on that.
