It has been gratifying to watch Sen. JDVance (R-OH) come into his own since he became Donald Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee in July.

Vance never wavered in his argument to the American public that Kamala Harris was not the right person to lead the nation, nor did Trump deserve another term. He also refused to back down when mainstream media/Democrats teamed up to smear them both, or Republicans generally.

Vance also delivered a superb beast-mode debate performance in October against Democratic vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz. He handled the biased moderators and the befuddled Minnesota Governor without breaking a sweat.

Vance, who is just a few short weeks from taking office as Vice President, is well-positioned to make America great again. He is Trump’s second-in-command. Vance can help make America great again by returning faith-based leadership to the White House.

Vance’s awareness of his responsibility was apparent in his response on Wednesday to a New York Times article in which a New York Times reader had asked for advice about how to deal with an elderly neighbor who made them uncomfortable by praying for them repeatedly.

Here’s the first thing the reader wrote about Kwame Anthony Appiah, the Times’ columnist and ethicist:

My neighbor is 85 years old and she’s a kind, caring person. She is very religious, and I am not. She prays in person and via text, email, and even emails for the smallest of things. I told her that my religion is different and she does not need to pray for me. She told me she had to because she wouldn’t be following the Bible. It’s hard to ignore, but I can’t help but feel upset that she won’t follow my wishes. Name Withheld

Before I get into what Vance said about the situation, let me point out Appiah’s surprising response. He noted that, while it was great that the person had expressed their feelings to a sweet neighbor, they were not entitled to make anyone not pray for them.

You can’t demand that she stops including you in her prayer. You can ask her to stop telling you about these prayers. Instead of demanding that your octogenarian neighbor change her ways, I wonder if you could change your own — and accept this woman as she is. Listen to her prayers, which are a genuine expression of her love for you.

Vance’s response was more concise, sweet, and straight to the point.

Amen! If the woman praying for her neighbor makes the person uncomfortable, they may want to cut off all ties. If they don’t do so, then it could be that the person appreciates the kindness but is reluctant to acknowledge it.
