Maybe we should try that. And since those big-box stores buy more insurance wholesale (from China or somewhere) at a cheaper price, they pass that along to the consumer! ---

In the past 48 hours, JD Vance has: A) Said that the US is a Christian nation B) Said that people no longer have to apologize for being white C) Said that people making racist attacks of his non-Christian, non-white wife can eat shit Now I obviously agree with C, but it does feel a little like he might have caused the situation. ---

Embracing anti-semitism is thankfully a bridge too far for some on the right. > # **Top Heritage Officials Flee to Mike Pence’s Nonprofit as Think Tank Fractures** > > ## The conservative movement continues to splinter about how to deal with its most controversial voices > > Former Vice President [Mike Pence’s](https://www.wsj.com/topics/person/mike-pence) political group is poaching top officials from the conservative Heritage Foundation amid growing ideological fights within the conservative movement and backlash at the think tank. > Pence’s Washington-based group, started in 2021 and called Advancing American Freedom, is slated to hire about 15 of Heritage’s employees including several of its prominent leaders, the group’s officials said. > In an interview, Pence told the Journal he had long admired the Heritage Foundation but sees the group now “abandoning its principles.” He said the foundation had “fallen” because it had embraced elements of isolationism, stopped backing Ukraine in the war with Russia, supported some tariffs and backed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary, among other things.
