Vance used to be a regular guest on Tucker's Fox nightly show, prior to winning his Senate election.

I suspect that exposure helped him considerably.

So proud of my friend, classmate, and fellow southwest Ohioan today. We used to watch Bengals games at the bar in law school, it’s awesome we’re now here a decade later with JD joining the strongest presidential ticket in our lifetime. He’ll be an outstanding Vice President and I look forward to everything ahead for him and for our country.

On his X account header he describes himself as a "Christian, husband, dad. U.S. Senator for Ohio."


I'm really quite confused and bedazzled by what quacks, waddles and ****s like a bait and switcheroo.




For me, "Gutted" is an under statement.

Waheguru literally meaning "Wow Guru", figuratively translated to mean "Wonderful God" or "Wonderful Lord” is a term used in Sikhism to refer to God as described in Guru Granth Sahib. It is the most common term to refer to God in modern Sikhism.

We may not agree with Trump's choice but we have to remember Trump's sets people out front and center to expose who they really are. JDVance has changed his name several times. This man is 100% deep state, Cabal. I was very unhappy seeing this and had to remember how Trump exposes people.

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

Would like to have seen Tulsi Gabbard. Maybe there's room for her in Trump's cabinet?

If he wins in November that is.

No such thing as a done deal. Still four months to go, and that's a long bloody time.

From Post #8:

"Attendees of Republican national convention bowed their heads to worship “Waheguru.”

Harmeet Dhillon then proclaims “Waheguru" to be the one true God.

This is truly satanic one world religion stuff.
t.me/UnityNewsNetwork"


Every now and then we have to straighten out some ignorant and hateful prick, NOT you Norman, yet whomever at "Unity"News Network posted it. "Unity" ? of what? Dark energy?

.....This is one of those times:

.To the ignorant F'k who posted the satan remark, I'd suggest that he understand the Sikh essence has proven itself by fighting and even dying for the rights of other paths, other religions...a very self-sacrificing life of warriors, many of whom were women.

On the other hand, only an ignorant and fearful idiot like the poster would call it "satanic", but of course him calling it that fits into the fear based religious porn he was trained in.

In his lingo, and if he understood it, the real path of a sikh, that has a code of conduct called the Rehit, could easily be called very American, maybe even the most american, even though any path worthy of living has not one single political nor national identity. No wonder that muslims were allowed to serve in the American military years before they allowed sikhs in, which is a very ironic fact.

The video referenced was the end of "Ardaas", the "Prayer", Huh-rih Meet Kaur was singing.

Though this is my common language and I understand the semi-solid precepts of American constitutional ideals, fighting hard to retain its true and valuable charter guaranteeing many freedoms, I find it very odd that HuhrihMeet Kaur*, (NOT Haarmeet Kaur/Harmeet Kaur-big difference in meaning there), would see it necessary to speak in a language that very, very few Americans would understand, even though when taught correctly it has to be the easiest to sing, to say correctly. Odd indeed. Respect, even within her lack of understanding. I have written to her about that.

I have known this language for many years. I have taught it and its meanings for 35 years, along with the sacred prayers of other paths. Interestingly so, I have taught only non-sikhs the language of the sikhs for many years, souly based on a desire to experience the songs without any religious dogma, which is what they all are about anyway. And please do understand that a translation of anything should never be left up to Wiki-Whatever, including any translation of Gurmukhi/GoorMookee.

Waa is an expression of Joy.
Hey is "I identify with You. The You that is within Me."
Gu is darkness.
Ru is the Light of Self Understanding.

Traveling in Song away from darkness and
Into the Light of Self Awareness.........

The Lakota Sioux say Waa Kaa Taa Kaa, which even tho I have sung WaaHay Guroo many times, I like the Lakota words just as well.

Waa is Every Fiber of My Being,
Kaa is To You, Creator.
Taa is My Life I connect with You,
Kaa is The Creator Within.
It should then be no wonder why the People of the Plains considered the buffalo a sacred being, TuhTaaKaa, as they were considered the core connection to their survival. Within those words as well lives the embodiment of the manifestation within all that being gave them.


To be more to the point, the life of a Sikh does not ever insinuate themselves in to preaching or ever to converting anyone to anything. We'll explain it, but after that you are on your own, which is how it should be. Why would anyone want others to be so disciplined, and so easily identifiable to all of the ignorance and violence that are the tenants of many judeo-christian-islamic cultures, many of whom think we are Hindus or even Muslims, which we are not, even though i personally have defended them, as well as Christians and some Jews, against attacks, alongside others doing the same. I've lived it.


I'm not averse to a sister of mine being allowed to express herself that way, but she obviously does not get the context and how difficult it was to get the translation from Waa Hay Goo Roo across to anyone. Comparing it to be 'God' is incorrect. That's not how GurSikhs understand it or project the phrase into their soul, listening for the amazing response that is always there...Soonee-eh Deep.
She does enunciate the word Fearless correctly, something that most american sikhs never do. The word is Nir/Neer-Without...Bhao/Fear...though the word is the foreshortening of the word Love. The vowel accent is a small, flat "u" under the "B", an aunkar. When we cut off OUR Love, we live in fear...and this state of limiting our Love is of our own creation.

She then says NeerVair/NirVair which means Without Revenge. Personally this has proven itself to me in my life. When we live without revenge, we still DO take care to immediately stop any violence to ourselves and others, but we stand back and watch as how the world of the hater self destructs, often in terms much harsher than we ourselves would administer to them. Don't stop the slanderer from slandering me...They pay my karmas off, even when I do not hold that word as worth any value.

Yes, it does come down to fighting when dealing with the b.s.. That's why we are always armed. We learn to cross the distance between our projection and the powerful presence that living it brings. That's what every sojourner on every path lives, each in their own way.

Practically speaking no one can explain personal spiritual responsibility to someone indoctrinated into a religious culture that leaves that responsibility "up to somebody other than you to be the one who cares", a saviour or a god, even a God. Teaching or sharing the experience that The Infinite is the most integral part of living, to those people, is nigh near impossible.

To conclude, though not to end this...Please do not ever conflate any of us sikhs with the evil yogi who taught his own adulterated version of a yog. Anyone "certified" by that group does not know a thing, especially about the real KoonduhLuhnee, the one they call kundalini. Would anyone really consider a serial rapist and thief a "teacher"?

For me personally I was reminded of this fact by Castaneda the last time we met and he scolded me for even associating with that group, even after he saw the change in the "light around me" that he was there to affirm, to a place I did not tell him I'd be, the day after we met again after the many years of our first meeting.

*I think anyone reading this will remember :

The word is pronounced Huhrih. The 'R" could just as well be a "D", as they activate the same area in the sound chamber of the mouth. The tongue touches the upper palate, activating the connections to the higher glands. It means Creator.

In the Japanese Shinto path it means The Boiling Point, just below the navel, the creator of action in bodily movement, the T'an Tien.

Connecting our speech from our physical core, as we also create the sounds within the higher consciousness, alive in our upper palate, creates an energy....

Raising up from below and directed down from above, meeting in the Infinite Space of the Heart.

When it is pronounced Haar it is an insult in many languages. When it is 'Haar' the tongue does not connect so directly to the upper palate. Haar/Har means Sorrow, Defeat, Loss. It also means shyte.

Haar is hard.
Huhr/Huhd is the Bud, the Flower of Creations Name.


**********************
Additional background: (As if this post wasn't long enough...)

Last year, standing in a line at a store, someone asked me about the turban I was wearing, about the hair under it-that has not been cut since '71 ?, and the long beard. I told her who I was then began to talk about how westerners are usually, with purposeful and bad intent, taught a completely off way to speak most languages. I am by ancestral placement from this land in the west-tracing back to immigrants here in 1629 from Wales, and from other European folks.... Norse, Baptist, Catholic, etc...

When I began with the obvious misspelling of the word Huh-rih, written as "Har" and what it meant, a lady from Iran, not 'Eye-ran' as a westerner would say but "EE-raan" to be more correct, interrupted and said that Har, enunciated by most westerners as "Haar means "Shyte". She was right of course. Thus a well understood shock to most who were raised with these languages when they hear westerners speak it, so off.

Some may think it a bit picky to bring this up, but it is ignorant to forget that the first attack upon any civilization is by banning or changing its language, its songs, its dances. Entirely besides that need to correct the original assault on a native way of communicating, once anyone experiences the words in their body it fits the whole of communicating.....internally. It is all an entirely different experience than speaking 'Western-ease'.

It is of no surprise to those who injoy those words that there are many separate cultures worldwide who use the same, exact words in their common talk and in the names of their towns. There is even a town in New Mexico called WaaHay (Wahe), tho it is spelled differently.

There is an indigenous area in the u.s. east that is called Rama, tho they f' the original name up by calling it Ram-uh, like the animal and the truck brand, and not its original, native enunciation which is RaaMaa. Not my problem, but it should be noted.

No wonder why so many native cultures here in the states are inundated by drug and alcohol abuse....Genetics can also be weakened and lost when the language that feeds the soul is taken away by force. Do so many "modern" westerners not understand what colonists knew to be at the core of self respect and resistance to their evil actions?

Hello Hym

I was hoping you would see that post and correct the record on this - which you just did eloquently - so thanks much.

(had to stop mid-post and chase off a bear in the garden and nearby woods - he left I think but with a sullen vibe and some grunting as I disturbed him digging and eating something in the woods near the house)

...

From an earlier post of mine - let me know if this summary from a ZH article is inaccurate

3. He’s Married to Usha Chilukuri Vance
Mr. Vance is married to Usha Chilukuri Vance, whom he met at Yale Law School. They married in 2014.

Ms. Vance currently works as a corporate litigator. She has clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John. Roberts and then-appellate Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

She would be the first Hindu spouse of a vice president.

Hey Jim,

Bears in the garden... It may sound... Hmmm... Are there any oddly intelligent, even extra sensory capable, hominid relatives sharing your neck of the woods with the grumpy bears?

Thanks for the ZH referenced article. Usha's background and that of Huhrih Meet Kaur Dhillon are distinctly different, albeit with a very similar cultural base of mutual respect and shared histories. If they are not buddies they should be..

It appears that Usha, JD's wife, is indeed Hindu, though I don't know from the many sects in Hinduism where she is from, which is likely immaterial. I heard, yet have not confirmed, that she was the one who convinced him to eventually become a Catholic, which is a sign of her openness to a real support for diversity. I do not know if she also is a Catholic convert. I was raised in that confine until I left at age 10, dodging the abuse that three of my older brothers went thru.

In the same real world vein, no one knows how any one individual lives within their chosen or hereditary faith. I do not expect any of them to live up to the humanity expressed in their paths, but I surely can call them out when they are not living up to their oaths.


At one of the many dire times in Indian history, many Hindu families gave their oldest boys to fight alongside the always outnumbered sikhs, attaching the common sikh surname Singh, Lion, to them as they both fought off the muslim mogul hordes who went on to dominate much of India.

Together the combined forces of sikhs, hindus, peaceful muslims as well, including those others considered to be buddhist, pacifist adepts in the Himalayas, fought in many battles instigated by the outsiders who were there to enslave them all.

At the time when the shackles of the british colonial empire left India, the sikhs then reluctantly gave up much of their historical lands in northwest India in order that the majority of muslims could form their own country, Pakistan, while the sikhs remained in a multi-cultural country.


That history does have an impact, but it is still the victim of abuse and an amnesia concerning those things that they found common and valuable in all of those devastating and painful, historical conflicts. Most modern countries are still bound by the super rich, while calling themselves democracies, who drain their valuable humanities by indoctrinating the masses into superficial diversities and the separation of cultures. The little they have left.....they must find, and find it together.

The only worth in any one of those cultural and religious paths is their ability to find common ground and shared humanities, which necessitates each one of them to eliminate any of the dogmatic norms that allow them to remain enemies....A hard but necessary task that will or will not define their own spiritual values, and their futures.

Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance
This woman, who gave the Sikh Prayer at the RNC, is Harmeet Dhillon (@pnjaban), is one of the most important conservative activists and lawyers in America:

-She filed lawsuits to stop Stay-at-home order during COVID
-Defended James Damore when google fired him
-Sued Antifa on behalf of @MrAndyNgo when he was assaulted
-Sued on behalf of College Republicans when Berkley cancelled Ann Coulter's speech
-Sued to stop Hawaii's COVID quarantine orders
-Was a legal advisor on Trump's 2020 campaign
-Filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente on behalf of Chloe Cole (@ChoooCole) for damage done by gender transition surgery and puberty blockers
-Served as Chair of the San Fransisco Republican Party
-She is the Co-Chair of "Women for Trump"
- She represented South Bay United Pentecostal Church other Churches when Gavin Newsome shut down churches during COVID. (She won injunctive relief from the Supreme Court in 2021)
-Her firm filed a lawsuit the City of San Jose, when they demanded people purchase insurance and pay fees to own firearms.
-Worked with Center for American Liberty, Thomas More Society attorneys, and Nebraska malpractice attorney Jeff Downing, to sue the University of Nebraska Medical Center on behalf of Luka Hein for the damage done by childhood gender transition
-The Dhillon Law Group was hired by the Republican National Committee to file a lawsuit against Google fir discrimination against the RNC
-Her firm won a $100,000against Spreckles School District for transitioning a girl behind her parents back

*******

The list of things that she's done on behalf of Republican and Conservative causes goes on and on.

The vitriol, hate, mockery, derision, and general malice directed toward her is utter nonsense. She has had a spine of steel in taking on causes that other law firms were afraid to touch including COVID restrictions, Schools Transitioning kids, and the Medical Transition of minors.

She has taken on a leftist machine of Universities, government, corporate entities, and pharmaceutical companies...and she's been getting wins. To attack her now for her faith, clothing, or her skin color is to stab her in the back after she risked her entire career taking on lawsuits on behalf of conservative causes that nobody else would touch.

I'm a Pentecostal Christian, but I don't need to agree with her faith to stand by the character of the woman.

I stand by Harmeet Dhillon 100%.

Confused and bedazzled is how they want us. Allow me to throw this into the melting pot.

The comments on both of these show the digging on Vance has begun and many of us take nothing at face value any more.

The first glaring red flag is the height difference, Vance is 5’7 and Trump 6’3…not to mention the dodgy background of both him and the wife. Tucker recommended him as insurance against assassination apparently as the Dems don’t want an anti Ukraine war VP becoming Pres.

Oh God help us, my brain hurts.
