“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society’s practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them.” It’s funny that you mentioned Veterans when vance himself was criticizing Tim Walz and his 24 years in the national guard. Double standards like always from you guys on the right.
Using the word woke like that tells me everything I need to know about you and your website. You know that what they call woke is simply having empathy and compassion for a fellow human being right? I’m out don’t be a fool and say dumb nonsense like a company has gone woke, I don’t think you know what that means.
Great story and sad for that boy who lived in that situation. I was a single mom with two young children. Left my beautiful home to escape a bad relationship. No money and got laid-off from my corporate job. I worked hard to give my children a better lives. Thanks god that I never smoked or drank. Congratulations JD 🇺🇸
My mother was #8 of 9 children in rural southern Mississippi. She was the only one to graduate from high school. She worked from high school until one of the attorneys at the law firm she worked at asked if she would consider going to law school. She went to night law school after working all day. She passed each class and finally the bar exam the first time in 1964. My mother worked in the private sector and eventually took a position with the Veterans Administration in adjudication. She worked tirelessly for 34.5 years HELPING veterans get the benefits they earned serving our country!!! She’s earned her eternal reward now, but I am ever so proud of my Mama!
His mom Bev is actually a very lovely person. She now works at a treatment facility in Ohio helping other’s who are battling any type of addiction. She was my nurse while I was battling a pain pill addiction and she would talk of how proud she was of him, Gave a lot of us hope that something so beautiful could come out of something so bad. I am Grateful to say that I am still clean today. Just goes to show you. No one can stop God’s plans.
Great interview with JD Vance: about truth, not embarrassed by his past (although still feels pain from it) because he’s worked through all of the baggage, we all have baggage & some people have more than others, he knows how to be sincere and speak for many people who are forgotten in the USA. He also knows how to remain being true to those he loved/loves. What a smart man !
Should he run for office? JD is the ULTIMATE American Success Story. After all the trials and tribulations he gets through it all and now on the cusp of being Vice President of the United States!! We need more guys like JD Vance in this country. Congrats Mr. Vance! God Bless you and your family and may the lord bring you nothing but success! #TrumpVance2024
I’m with Lyndsey. I too was the one in my family that felt the responsibility of taking care of my siblings. I had 2 older sisters and a younger brother. They were learning disabled and I wasn’t. Mom always told me I was the man of the family and I had to take care of them. I took this responsibility seriously but even now at 54 I grieve at my failure to protect them. We were removed from our parents care and placed in Foster Care where we continued to be abused. We were then moved to a Christian Group home, Gateway Woods in Leo Indiana. We thrived there but when they left I was lost. Had no one to care for and I didn’t know who I was and what my place was. God has been good to me though and I praise him every day for making me the man I am today. God bless Trump, God bless Vance and God bless the U.S.A.
Childhood trauma and not having support from both the parents is really sad😢. Moving foward for a better life without healing from his past could mean a great life still filled with alot of pain🙌.He deserves the best!😇.So humble and amazing.Blessed with a beautiful and loving family of his own❤🙌.Cancel the sins of the past generations with no power over your new life .God bless !⏰.. 🙏🙏🙌👏👏
I never saw this report before. As I watched this article, I could relate to the memories he shared with Meghan. I also had a rough and abusive childhood. It has effected just about everything about me. Everything he said was so true and his answers to Meghan were honest and heart felt. It is not easy to overcome such issues but JD seems to be doing great. I will be voting for him and I hope he is a successful vice president. God Bless you JD.
It brings tears to my when I hear when where people come from hurt poverty background,but like when I hear how they changed and want the best in people from his hurt background I think America should be happy to have some one like him I know what it is coming from broken family I was there I know actually what life is like pray eveeything well for him
Just finished the book. A good read. Reminded me of much of what my father described before we immigrated. Our family’s from N Ireland. My Dad often spoke about the culture of accepting failure, the concept of not bothering to make an effort because the system is stacked against the down-trodden (in our case Irish Catholics). Why try in school? Why apply for jobs? Why … anything? This resonated with me through Hillbilly Elegy, the culture of defeat, which ensures no success when effort is never made.
I feel the struggle / story is universal. The books talk about Appalachia, America. Swathes of mountain areas in West China, where far away from Metropolis, shanghai, Beijing, are trapped too. They see no real economic hope as only way out is to work as low-level labours in the city, no way to get good education because there is no good teacher, school as a result of resource skewed to city, brain drain. We have their own problems that has a lot in common with what the author talked out in Middletown. Inequity and its complications are big issues.
In my quest to learn more about our future VP, I stumbled upon this interview with Megyn Kelly. A great interview that highlights the path this man has taken in his young years. While many may think they “know” what a child suffers in this kind of life and atmosphere, you never will. Good for J.D. Vance, for fighting those demons and emerging with strength and conviction to continue the fight. I think he will be just fine. 👍
7/15/24, J. D. Vance now VP Nominee! I really knew nothing of the young man until searching articles & perusal articles. I’m older by decades, but I can relate to his younger life, raised poor, family disfunction, military, a feeling of being out of place and different in college/university. I’m so happy to see someone like this man earn the chance to be considered for such a high position of leadership in this nation. May God Bless him and the United States of America!
Loved the book, love this guy and praise his courage. Of COURSE it’s a lifetime process dealing with old wounds. There’s no magical finish line to dealing with your stuff. You just get better at catching it when you get triggered and you get better at moving through it. Speaking from my own experience.
I can really relate to this story. I too came from Scotts Irish heritage, and experience my mom going through three divorces, fights, swearing, yelling and violence. There was the time my mother hit my drunk stepfather with a brass lamp. I am forever grateful for the intervention of Jesus in our lives. It was not instant transformation on the outside, but on the inside my mother, sister and I became new creatures in Christ. I am also thankful for my family. We have also been faithful to each other over all the years.
This story somewhat reminds me of how my grandfather once told my mom that his mother used to chase them around the house and try to hit them while she was in a rage and he’d hide under the bed with his little siblings. Later on in life, my mom said my grandpa would also get angry and into a rage but never try to hit them. He’d get searing angry and then after a while he completely over it. He told her that his mom doing that to him and his little sisters really impacted him. He also went to war at 18, and served in three wars for 26 years. He started to cry when he told her that because of how proud he was of the parent she is. He was a wonderful man and was always loved. He died at age 92 three years ago. He went through a rough childhood with being dirt poor and having a troubled mother, but grew up into a great man
This story represented the lives of thousands of good people who left the hills of Kentucky to get higher paying jobs in Hamilton, and Middletown, Ohio. They called these towns Hamiltucky and Middletucky because almost everyone you met there was from Kentucky. Except for the terrible amount of swearing, and drug abuse, this story was like the story of my wife’s family. They came from Corbin, and I went to a funeral of a family member in Corbin, and the grave was dug by two men with shovels and a wheel barrow.
The truth about a background like this is that you’re never done working through everything. You don’t wake up one day and say, “I’m DONE! It’s all behind me now.” Over your life you get surprised over and over again by all the ways you didn’t realize your past was affecting your present. You deal with them as they reveal themselves.
I watched the movie last night after finishing it on Netflix. Never read the book, but I wanna now. The movie, if I’m interpreting correctly, really did remind me of how my grandparents and my old man pushed me to try hard to succeed in life. I never suffered abuse, but I’ve seen the typical dysfunction in my family. I never really cry much, but a lot of the film had me in tears.
Lindsay did her best (the best she knew) and J.D (J Dot) was always thankful. She was one of the “adults” in his life who always cared for him and was always there for him; even though she was a child herself – even when she left home, got a job, got married, and had a child. Family bonds are so important and too many of us take them for granted, don’t we?
Powerful stuff! Kelly is a great interviewer. This is the first time I’ve seen her work – she’s very good. Vance is a piece of work, too, with his heart firmly on the sleeve. Yes, I read the book, which is extraordinary but I am skeptical about Ron Howard’s movie version. Just mark me down as: I’ll stay tuned.
Just finished reading the book. One thing that I can’t stop thinking about, is the fact that we make it so hard for the people who want to succeed, to succeed but keep trying to uplift the lowest common denominator. I think JD represents one of those silent kids stuck on the middle that stays clean, plays by the rules, and yet society does very little to help the guy trying to make it through Ohio state, it’s not until he reaches Yale that people start paying attention to him. It’s like we are conditioned to only pay attention to the people in the worst of situations or at the top of society, never the poor guy in the middle grasping for air.
I hope this young man does much work to make sure mental health is accessible and that men come to know that they are MORE of a man for doing The Work to rise above their painful upbringings to become stronger and more present fathers, husbands, etc. and I feel like someone who truly knows what it feels like to lack essential things, to have suffered so much and rose above it will be a wonderful example for this country. There is hope for our society. I am so hopeful.
I watched his story on Netflix, and thought to myself, this is an extraordinary man. He succeeded, overcoming abuse, and dysfunction in his family. I love the way he still shown that regardless of what we endure within our family at the end of the day they’re still our family. JD Vance story is inspirational. One can overcome surmountable odds, and triumph regardless of what they came from with determination.
What a wonderful story of a life redeemed. What a great young man. Thanks to “Mamaw” not only is there one less criminal or drug addict on the street. but maybe even a future President. Kuddos to Megyn Kelly for encouraging him to run for office. He seemed very insecure about the idea. JD, the world is proud of you!
Humble man, who as result of Divine intervention, gratitude, self-awareness and sheer determination, along with a loving grandmother he admits was part of the reason he survived against all odds, just may be the answer to the polarizing politically charged evil rhetoric of the left and help bring us into a better America. Thanks to President Trump for recognizing this remarkable man and selecting him as VP.
I am from this area in KY, this is typical behavior from parents. Most, from this area endure this kind of treatment from parents. I certainly did! Drug addicted mother, father that abandoned us and an extremely abusive step! You have to be willing to do everything and anything to get out, some do, some do not! I left this area 27 years ago and have not been back!
And that’s why America needs Vance. Like Trump has said many times. He’s not a political advocate, its not about the politician, for Trump it truly is because he loves our country, and he acknowledged. That living anywhere else, he wouldnt have had rhe freedom to, be a sucessful business Man. The two, of these Ken, havevbe rediculed. In different ways. But they certianly Know what Truth and Reality means. TRUMP/VANCE 2024 🇺🇲👍
There’s a old adage that I’m reminded of…*”From an adult person, that has shows and lives a life filled with a great deal of Love & Compassion, comes from a very difficult & hard beginning”.* I’m hoping some of this great empathy will be funneled into good Public Servent practices that will help fulfill the American dream. Trump 2024 MaMaw rocks!!!
He will always have post traumatic in some form, but being a realists combined with his great maturity he will be fine. My childhood was 100% worse, but each individual processes differently. Now in my 60’s triggers still show their face, but Gods grace gives wisdom and maturity to go through the feelings.
