Vice President J.D. Vance was taken to task by the conservative National Review's Andrew McCarthy for his constant running to X to post disingenuous attacks on opponents of the Donald Trump administration's immigration policies.

In a column posted Saturday morning, the legal analyst claimed the VP, a Yale Law School graduate, knows fully well the administration is denying immigrants their right to due process, and that Vance is making his claims more as a performance for MAGA devotees.

Labeling Donald Trump's second-in-command as "infuriating," he added the VP is "too smart not to know that the nonsense he spouts is nonsense. Well-framed nonsense, to be sure."

He then added, "Vice President Vance issued one of his claptrap-laden diatribes on social media Wednesday, slamming 'the media and the far left' who are 'weeping over the lack of due process' in the Trump administration’s illegal deportations of people it alleges — probably correctly in most instances — are members of criminal gangs."

Using that as a springboard, he noted that Trump's goal is to "illustrate that he has amassed uncheckable power," and for Vance that's "the point of the vice president’s post: Due process is for whiners, and if you’re 'weeping' over its sudden death, you’re the problem."

"Adopting the habit of Trump officials of making up their own facts as well as their own law, Vance argues that all the administration is doing is returning an illegal alien to his home country," he accused. "This is so mendacious it’s hard to decide where to begin — even accepting for argument’s sake Vance’s blithe claim that Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 member, which, again, Trump officials chant as a mantra but no one has actually proved."

"He says we who want the law enforced don’t have a plan for deporting 20 million people — and that’s true, for there is no such four-year plan; there’s just 'do the best you can to materially reduce the illegal population, get on a trajectory for bigger reductions over time, and then manage illegal immigration like we manage other ordinary crime.'" he wrote before pointing out, "But to flip it around, Vice President Vance does not tell us what his plan is for rapidly deporting 20 million people. That’s because such a plan cannot include faithfully executing the law. And he knows it."

The conservative outlet National Review hammered President Donald Trump this week over his recent attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

“If Donald Trump is upset about higher interest rates, he should stop doing just about everything he can to undermine the U.S. economy in the eyes of the world,” the editors wrote.

Between tariffs and the attacks on Powell, the U.S. is becoming “a riskier place to do business," the editors said.

“[When] the independence of the central bank comes under threat from the president, people will demand higher yields to make buying U.S. sovereign debt worth their while.”

The outlet noted the best way to see how “real investors with real money” feel is to watch the market as it reacts to Trump’s decisions. “Their verdict is clear: They don’t like it, they’re going to keep saying so with their money as long as the president doesn’t change course, and that has real negative consequences for Americans.”

“The stock market is down, and that’s bad. Worse is the simultaneous decline in the value of the dollar and the price of U.S. government bonds.”

The editors said declines like this typically happen “in poor countries facing economic crises, not in the richest country in the history of the world.”

“There’s a constitutional argument to be made that such a restriction on the president’s power is impermissible. But it shouldn’t even get to that point, because firing Powell is not helpful to Trump’s own interests.”

They went on to claim, “Voters want economic stability, and firing Powell would only create more instability.”

America’s debt is also becoming more difficult to finance, meaning the demand for government bonds will go down with it. They believe this means “future tax increases, inflation, or both are on the way.”

The board does have a solution to stop the “chaotic and ill-considered trade and monetary policies,” which is to “keep any one person [Trump] from being able to change them at will. That has been the traditional American practice, and it would be best to follow it.”
