JD Vance claps back at Disneyland criticism with one-line reply: ‘Had a great…'
In a snarky comment, Newsom shared a post on X, addressing Vance. 'Hope you enjoy your family time, JD Vance. The families you're tearing apart certainly won't,' he said. Vance, however, seemed unaffected by the comments and online hate and replied: 'Had a great time, thanks.'
The Vances' trip was marred by protesters berating the vice president over recent immigration raids. Protesters even showed up at the hotel where the Vances were reported to be staying.
On social media, users poked fun at clips of JD Vance, mocking the politician's manner of running. "This is the 'alpha male' MAGA keeps telling us about? Really?" said one user.
Others came up with the moniker "JD Prance," comparing the running to the Pirates of the Caribbean character Jack Sparrow. "JD Vance is running like a kid late to a Dungeons & Dragons tournament who forgot his dice," said one user.
However, MAGA supporters rushed to defend the vice president, calling out those mocking him. "JD Vance running after his kid at Disney is the most normal dad thing ever. Had Secret Service or a nanny chased after the kiddo, that's when I would have judged. Get a life people. Be grateful our VP and Second Lady are human and good parents," said one of them.
Another added, "How can a video of JD Vance running towards maybe his kids, maybe whatever, be an internet sensation? What's wrong with some people?"

The US Embassy said Wednesday the project will take place at Oyster Bay and Quezon town in western Palawan province. It said in a statement that it underscored the treaty allies' aim to maintain a "free, open and resilient Indo-Pacific." Palawan faces the disputed South China Sea, which Beijing claims virtually in its entirety, and is the headquarters of the Philippine military's Western Command, which deploys navy patrol ships, surveillance vessels and aircraft to defend its territorial interests. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have also been involved in the long-simmering territorial disputes in the busy waterway, a flashpoint in the regional rivalry between the US and China. Washington has no territorial claims in the waters but has repeatedly stated that it's obligated to defend the Philippines, its oldest treaty ally in Asia, if Filipino forces, ships and aircraft come under an armed attack, including in the South China Sea. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If A Cat Bites Their Owner Heres What It Really Means Gloriousa Undo The US military has separately constructed warehouses, barracks and other facilities in nine Philippine military camps, where rotating batches of American forces can stay and store weapons under a 2014 defence pact.

Iraq PM reopens Mosul airport years after IS devastation
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani (Image: AP) MOSUL: Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani inaugurated Wednesday the city of Mosul's newly restored airport, years after it was destroyed in the battle to dislodge the Islamic State group. Sudani's flight landed at the airport, which is expected to become fully operational for domestic and international flights in two months. "The airport will serve as an additional link between Mosul and other Iraqi cities and regional destinations," the media office of the PM said in a statement. In June 2014, the Islamic State group seized Mosul, declaring its "caliphate" from the city after capturing large swathes of Iraq and neighbouring Syria. After years of fierce battles, Iraqi forces backed by a US-led international coalition dislodged the group from the city in July 2017, before declaring its defeat across the country at the end of that year. The airport, which was heavily damaged in the battle, has not been operational since the jihadists seized Mosul. In August 2022, then-prime minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi laid the foundation stone for the airport's reconstruction. Airport director Amar al-Bayati told AFP that the "airport is now ready for domestic and international flights," but no date has been announced for their resumption. He added that the airport previously offered international flights, mostly to Turkey and Jordan. The airport now includes a main terminal, a VIP lounge and an advanced radar surveillance system, Sudani's office said. Its expected to handle 630,000 passengers annually.
