Staff Reports
A recent advisory for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance has made it clear: when it comes to women, particularly the Vice President, it’s better to walk on eggshells. The warning, wrapped in all the nuance of a sledgehammer, suggests that any misstep could be catastrophic—not just for their political careers, but also for their reputations. But one has to wonder, is this just another instance of the left’s obsession with policing language and behavior?
With Vice President Kamala Harris often in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, it’s curious why there’s an urgent bulletin aimed at two prominent Republicans rather than a call to accountability for the policies she supports. If anyone should be careful, it’s likely Harris herself, considering her tendency to flip-flop like a fish out of water on the big issues, from immigration to crime rates. Yet, this warning implies that it’s the men who need to watch their backs, while the women are exempt from scrutiny. How progressive!

Trump’s history of pushing against political correctness is legendary. One has to chuckle at the irony: the very media urging caution around women’s issues has spent years pushing their own narrative, sometimes even vilifying men who dare to disagree. One can only imagine what these so-called protectors of women’s dignity think of the Vice President, who has a track record of being less than articulate. Even so, the warning stands as a testament to the “celebrity complex” of leftist politics, where public figures are held to a different standard based on their gender rather than their actions.
For J.D. Vance, the situation presents both a challenge and an opportunity. As he navigates the murky waters of political correctness, he can take a lesson from the left: when in doubt, focus on the issues rather than the personalities. Conservatives have the upper hand when it comes to policy and real-world impacts, so why let a “how to speak to women” handbook dictate the conversation? The political game is all about taking the fight to your opponents, not dodging missiles thrown by the left’s perpetual outrage machine.
As cautionary tales become routine in the politically charged atmosphere of today, it’s clear that conservatives need to stay sharp. The real battlefield isn’t just in the boardrooms or during debates—it’s in the perceptions crafted by mainstream media and the narrative that defines public discourse. So, while the left may continue to scream and shout over everything from “micro-aggressions” to alleged patriarchal oppression, maybe it’s time for Trump and Vance to lean into the humor of it all. After all, nothing disarms the opposition quite like a good laugh at their expense.
