Harris/Walz ticket... dangerous combination

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. 

Until I see differently, forty-seven percent of the vote would be with them if God sent them a letter telling them not to do so... sad shape we're in.

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

He's overweight which can sometimes make you look older and puffier in the face.  Could be what he eats and drinks compared to her.  Could be a different level of exercise.

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?)

As a governor, Walz led Minnesota downhill.   More crime, higher taxes and more.  He let Minneapolis burn before he finally called for the National Guard.   And Kamala Harris raised money to bail out those destructive law breakers.

Walz signed an Executive Order that children can be taken away from their parents if the parents don't let their children have transgender affirming care, puberty blockers and sex change surgeries.

His military experience was with the Army Reserves I think.   He bailed out just before his unit deployed to Iraq.

About Vance, you know the liberal media doesn't report fairly.   They make the liberals sound great.

Well said Debp. I heard that Waltz weakens Harris. Now I don't know how that can be possible because she is so weak already. It all depends on where you get your news from and I don't get it from the Liberal Media. Vance is an excellent choice. I'm voting Trump like I did the last two times and I'm proud of it.

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?

I read he also established a hotline so neighbors could report other neighbors disobeying the rules.

He loves China....he spent a little time there teaching and was impressed with low crime and many gifts!

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?

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

I wasn't fishing for people to laugh at this.  Is this where we are now?

I read today that walz' military experience is something he has lied about, giving himself a higher rank than he was discharged with, as well as claiming he had combat experience when he did not.

For some of us who have not served, but whose family  (father, grandfather, uncle, nephew and various inlaws) at one time or another have served, stolen valor is very serious to us too.

I know. But my point is that for some it may be good enough for them to be swayed. And in an electorate as evenly divided as things are, it could be the difference.

Saw that too. It probably won't make a big difference to some folks...
