Harris/Walz ticket... dangerous combination

And the liberal media which most people listen to make no mention of the far left agenda of Harris and Walz.

Today on the news, all they said of Walz was that he was a former teacher, coach and an Army reservist for twenty some years.

Vance had to make mention of the fact that Walz quit the reserves just before his unit was sent to Iraq.

And I've read Minnesota has higher crime, higher taxes, under Walz....and a lot of people left Minnesota because of him.

@Mama Etna Aren't you from MN?   Any input?

Yes.  I watched my state go down hill under him.  A once beautiful park in my neighborhood has people using it for a campsite - where camping is not allowed.  The throw their trash all over and use it as a toilet.  It smells. The rules are not enforced. There's graffiti all over the benches.  The people I meet tell me how it has slid downhill the last few years.

This issue is cropping up in rural areas too.  A year ago I live in a rural area.  There were people trashing and making parks filthy there too.  This is a very recent phenomena.  I do not see as many police officers since Walz took office.

Oh I will add during the pandemic he closed Churches, but left bars open.  He said bars were critical to the community, but churches are not?

Governor Walz Orders Temporary Closure of Restaurants, Bars, Other Places of Public Amusement

Governor also took action to support affected employees

March 16, 2020

 

Seems to me every State had a lot of confusion at the time. As to Churches some refused to close at all , and one especially  won court case against local government agencies and were awarded money by the courts to compensate for the intrusion by government . See Grace Community Chapel,Sun City Ca.

This guy, Walz, is a good "talker." That's probably why Kamala picked him as she's not good without a teleprompter.

But please take note of what he is talking about. He calls Vance weird...but Kamala standing with the drag queens to do an ad is more than weird to me. It's having a dead, moral conscience, a dangerous thing. Remember Sodom and Gommorah...

Walz talked about unity....but I think he means a unity where the rest of us are forced to accept the Woke agenda. I wouldn't be surprised if Harris and Walz get in, that we as Christians won't be allowed to voice our concerns about the transgender, gay agenda brainwashing children in schools. They will say it's hate speech.

Christians, please vote for those holding conservative values. Or else the nation will go to Hell in a hand basket faster and faster.

Yes, he is probably a good compliment to her in that respect.  And he's a governor with executive experience.  And he's got some military experience . . . so some will see this as balancing her relatively light credentials - and even if that's just a couple percentage of the vote, that may be enough to win the day for the dems.

On the other side, I don't know how much Vance adds to the MAGA ticket. (or do you think that's just the perception the media is trying to feed us?)

If one reads the platform  of RFK Jr. It is obvious he is not a Democrat falling into line. He is at best disliked by Democrats, they have fought againist his being on theballot at many States, and they have lost each case. Much of his  Kennedy clan call him dangerous. I take that to mean he  is dangerous to them.

Kennedy is a Democrat attracting other Democrats away from the top Democrat candidates.  So is his running mate Nicole Shanahan, who according to Politico "donated to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, Pete Buttigieg in 2020, and her local Congressman Democrat Ro Khanna, along with a slew of Democratic politicians across the country."  

Maybe that will be Kennedy's ultimate purpose in running for office; splitting the Democrat party.  Maybe that will make his 0.6% chance of winning worth all this non-stop effort you are making to campaign for him here.  If Kennedy did win by some miracle, he would call himself a Democrat shortly after.

Kamala Harris will be 60 in October.  Tim Walz turned 60 this spring.  They are virtually the same age.

Why does he look so much older than him? Who does her plastic surgery?

Just a guess here, but I wonder if he eats the 'raw' diet meaning a vegan that eats everything uncooked?  People who do that diet seem to look much older than their actual age.  Much older.  They claim they feel better than ever on that diet, however.

Stolen Valor Matters

"To those who’ve served in the military, Tim Walzs lies are a big deal"

 

Douglas Andrews

First things first: Kamala Harris wasn’t going to win the military vote even if she’d put a real warrior on the ticket.

That she instead opted for a lying dirtbag, valor-thieving fraud like Tampon Timmy Walz merely reinforces what our warrior class already knows: The woke Democrat Party loathes them, and they only invoke our military out of pure political expedience.

To those of us who’ve served, stolen valor is a serious thing, a thing worth fighting about. Typically, it comes in the form of some two-beers blowhard in the bar who says, “You were in the Marines? I was too. I was Force Recon.” (Anyone else out there wish you had a dollar for every clown who told you he “almost” “joined” “the SEALs”?)

But it’s different when we’re talking about our elected representatives. After all, these are the people whom our Constitution entrusts to vote us into war. Which is why Walz should’ve known better than to spin yarns among the American people that he wouldn’t have dared to utter in any E-Club on any base in any remote corner of our nation.

We might laugh at Eddie Murphy’s “Agent Orange” character in “Trading Places.” We might bust a gut when he says he was “special unit battalion’s commando airborne tactics specialist tactics unit battalion,” and that it was “real hush-hush.” But Tim Walzs lies are no laughing matter, and they’re no longer hush-hush. And he won’t be able to run away from them forever.

Yesterday, we focused mainly on how Walz ditched his National Guard unit right before it deployed. But a Marine Corps brother, JD Vance, has rightly latched onto the matter of stolen valor. Here’s what he said in the Detroit suburb of Macomb County, the home of the Reagan Democrats:

[Walz] said — and he was making a point about gun control — that we shouldn’t allow weapons that [he] used in war to be on America’s streets. Well, I wonder, Tim Walz, when were you ever in war? What was this weapon that you carried into war, given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq, and he has not spent a day in a combat zone? What bothers me about Tim Walz is the stolen valor garbage. … I’d be ashamed if I were him and I lied about my military service like he did.

[Checks notes: Any day now, mainstream media. Any day.]

To be fair, and as our Mark Alexander pointed out yesterday, Walz did serve with the Nebraska and Minnesota Army National Guard. But at some point, he must’ve realized the Minnesota Guard isn’t exactly the 82nd Airborne. Which was a mistake made out of obvious insecurity, because all military service, whether in the Guard or the Reserves or on active duty, and whether in admin or logistics or infantry, is honorable.

So when Walz said during a gun-grabbing rant, “We can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is [sic] the only place where those weapons are at,” he was lying.

And it wasn’t his only lie. As The Washington Free Beacon reports: “As a first-time congressional candidate in 2006, Walzs campaign announcement described him as ‘a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom,’ an archived version of the press release shows. Two years earlier … Walz organized a protest against then-President George W. Bush [and carried] a sign reading ‘Enduring Freedom Veterans for Kerry.’”

How appropriate. Tim Walz and John Kerry. Two peas in a stolen-valor pod: Walz with his Walter Mitty-ism, and Kerry with his improbable haul of Purple Hearts and his duplicitous claims of having spent “Christmas in Cambodia.”

As the Free Beacon adds: “Two Minnesota National Guardsmen said in 2022 that Walz falsely claimed he reached the rank of command sergeant major. But Walz did not fulfill the duties required to maintain that rank before he quit the service in 2005.”

Stolen valor is deadly serious stuff. Admiral Mike Boorda, an enlisted man who rose through the ranks to become the U.S. Navy’s Chief of Operations, committed suicide over a matter of stolen valor.

For Walz, these are, at the very least, disqualifying lies. After all, he aspires to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. Of course, as we noted yesterday, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal has gotten away with it, so perhaps the thinking goes, Why not me?

In any case, what must the Harris campaign have been thinking when it vetted this guy?

Assuming they vetted in the first place, I'd say they got what they ordered.

God help us all to not let them win in November.

You'd think a guy who earned a nickname like Tampon Tim would have reservations about calling someone else weird.
