As awful as his lies about his military service and his 'socialism is just another form of neighborliness' comments are, to overlook your city burning and deciding to let it happen is by far his most unforgivable sin. People died, businesses died and his wife can only comment about the smell of burning tires. Despicable people.

As rioters were burning Minneapolis to the ground, Walz had a snitch line open for people to report their neighbors for going outside without a mask. I guess rioters were invincible so they did not need masks to protect them from the deadly China virus. The people in the quiet neighborhoods however, were in imminent danger outside their homes with no one else around.

Walz allowed a funeral for George Floyd in a packed stadium where he was buried in a golden casket while regular citizens of Minnesota could not even visit their loved ones in the hospital or hold funerals for them.

Minnesota was one of the first states to set up a "snitch line" during covid while he allowed rioters to burn down and loot downtown St. Paul. He said the rest of Minnesota outside of the Twin Cities was just "rocks and cows".

and he also committed another unforgivable sin of sending Covid patients released from hospitals back into nursing homes, a la Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy and a couple of others...truly wonder how these people sleep at night

Also can't figure out why NY Jews (and I'm one of them) have primarily voted Democrat. My sister and I have wondered this for years. Especially after seeing what Rudy did to revive the city. Just another head scratcher.

Very very puzzling. And also the Black vote....given the Democrat vile history of racism ever since the Civil War, why any blacks vote Democrat is a total mystery to me.

Minnesota has always had a conformist bother-your-neighbor vibe. It had an ugly cultural right-wing veneer in the 2000's and now it has a leftist cultural flavor. The mask culture there was insufferable in the citified areas.

Exactly: neighborless is voluntary, socialism is at the point of a gun.

Actually, when gun is involved, it is communism.

The socialism=neighborliness comment is the worst. Socialists take YOUR stuff and give it to someone else. Neighbors give neighbors THEIR stuff. He's supposedly a social studies teacher and does not know the difference.

Socialists take YOUR stuff and keep it for themselves.

He knows the difference but he's banking on the uninformed not knowing the difference. People hear they are going to get "free" stuff and they really think it's free. I had to explain the "free" covid shots were not free.

He served for 24 years in the National Guard, but retired when there was a possibility of deployment. He served in the Guard for 24 years, but didn’t call on the Guard to protect his citizens when needed.

What exactly did he think the Guard was for? I’m guessing for him it was only another government paycheck and pension.

Expand full comment

Read somewhere that in that 24 years, he served an actual total of something like 164 days. Being in the National Guard was an easy way to juice one's resume, particularly if one wanted to run for office later.

As Walz stated before finally allowing the NG to help quell the riots, 'they're just a bunch of line cooks'

When my husband was drafted in 1966 and sent as a combat vet to Vietnam, his good friend got out of it by joining the National Guard. His "service" was in Sacramento doing some kind of mechanics work, nice and safe in the U.S.A.

It’s wasn’t just burning tires. It was burning buildings and vehicles.

One of the most important things was his appearance on MSNBC in Dec 2022: “There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy.”

(Unless **I** am the one defining misinformation and hate speech lol)

Expand full comment

This is in contravention to the Constitution, not to mention the 1st Amendment. (Again, the Constitution gives the government no power to regulate speech and the 1st Amendment merely reinforces that because they were aware that there were forces who would do what happened and enlarge the Federal government beyond all limits as soon as they could do so.)

Expand full comment

Exactly—it's always about who controls the narrative. In today's political landscape, defining 'misinformation' is just another way both governing parties shape our perceptions. Ultimately, we're all caught in the crossfire. I just was explaining this power play to a close friend of mine via an article.

I’ve lived in MN all of my 56 years. He is the worst Governor we have ever had and the most left. He LIES about everything! People have seen his policies by now but note that these were all passed by a 1 vote margin in the MN house. His motto was “ONE MN” what a joke!

Expand full comment

Yes, he is a far-left, radical extremist and they are describing him as "centrist." Perhaps he is a centrist if your extremes are Stalin and Mao.

Expand full comment

He has the old white man card which allows people to pretend he's one of the responsible adults they recall from childhood, just like they pretended Joe Biden was a respectable, accomplished man like many of his age-peers.

A "Joe Biden" that can complete a sentence. Just as left just as corrupt.

Expand full comment

He has real connections to the CCP. He honeymooned in China and has visited more than 30 times. He lived there in 1989 for a teaching position. He speaks Chinese . How was he allowed to stay in the National Guard with long deep ties to Communist China?

Of course, that is why Kamala picked him - she too is a far-left, radical extremist.

The thing is she makes ZERO decisions. She picks NOTHING. Camel-toe was placed just as puppet 1.0 was. This person finished DEAD last in the Iowa caucus

Yes, I probably should say "Kamala's advisors" or puppet masters. lol

You need look no further than the teacher's unions for who holds the strings on the Dem party.

Just like here in Oregon. These teachers unions = mafia.

Walz was picked for Kamala because he is so unremarkable there is no chance of him upstaging her.

Are you saying there is actually someone less unremarkable than cameltoe? I mean she finished dead last in even the Iowa caucus 🤪

I doubt very much it was Kamala that chose him. She was the puppet on the phone that called Walz…but NOT the decision maker. As JB would say…c’mon man!

The more I learn about Walz's links to the PRC, the more I wonder if the same pro-PRC cabal that get Biden elected decided Walz was ideal to continue the PRC tilt?

He was the only one that wanted the job. Harris is hard to work for and an awful campeigner. Shapiro, Kelly, Whitmore will wait till '28.

He was dumb enough to want the job!

Deb, I agree. I also have lived in Minnesota my entire life. I could not believe he was on the Dem shortlist for VP, and I cannot believe he was chosen! There is nothing authentic or appealing about his Midwestern dad vibe, if you can call it that. And his tenure is full of galling scandals if the journalists will just look, far beyond the lying about military service.

No one else wanted to work for Harris...

I hope the Trump campaign/RNC/etc are running ads in the swing states pointing out all of Walz's flaws. I live in the red state of Texas, so those ads might not run here.

I suppose "one MN" is true in the sense that Walz would like to censor, arrest, or at least shame those who disagree with him.

Expand full comment

It won’t matter because nobody will get close enough to him to ask the question. Harris hasn’t faced the media yet and he will follow suit. Doesn’t anyone find this maddening? Trump wants three debates and so far only one has been agreed to. I’m guessing if she falls flat they figure they will have enough time for the internet scrubbers and MSM to spin it in her favor by election time. What they are doing isn’t an American election campaign. It’s a socialist cabal trying to force its way to the top spot. I pray people are smart enough to see this but based on past results I doubt intelligence plays much part in elections anymore. I’m trying to figure out if our votes even count now. I’ve spoken to plenty of people over the past 4 years and haven’t found one person who voted for Biden or other shitty politicians yet they won

Register people who have not regularly voted. Vote early to prevent election day shenanigans. All out to November 5!

His ideology and authoritarianism are bat-shit crazy and unconstitutional, respectively. But I can't think of anything more un-American than lying about serving in a war where good Americans laid down their lives to protect us. Tampon Tim is a national disgrace.

Trump/Vance v. Harris/Walz. Absolutely a binary choice. The contrast could not be greater.

Expand full comment

And yet we have polls showing how close it is. I think that there are plenty of racists and sexists who will vote for one candidate solely based on her (I am not a biologist so am only guessing - per Ketanji Brown Jackson) gender and skin color. The definition of racism and sexism and yet the legacy media won't call it out.

Expand full comment

THIS is what scares me. Most assuredly, the polls are rigged, like everything else reflected in MSM. But it's those very real people who keep following these DEI-chosen "leaders", despite their actual stance on issues and their track records, that terrify me. Wokeism is a religion, though, so zealots are sure to blossom. It's just scary to think that if we are really divided roughly in half and the other half has lost their GD minds. Post election, what is that even going to look like?

Expand full comment

That is indeed very scary. Half the country will automatically vote for Kamala/Walz based on "vibes" without her ever answering a real question or talking about any real policies.

Or because their TDS is so extreme that they’d literally vote for a dictator.

I have a "one lame assumption" theory about things. In this case, that lame assumption is that the media they read or listen to is honest and unbiased. Following that, they believe every single lie the media dishes out.

They are not very smart and easily manipulated.

Because some people have no self-respect or morals. They want to be liked. They want attention.

Expand full comment

I wouldn't put too much stock in the polls. They can be manipulated to produce the desired outcome.

Expand full comment

Exactly! Poll in a pre-chosen location to get the desired results. They could poll people coming out of a Harris rally and get one result, then poll people coming out of a Trump rally and get an entirely different result. Polls usually are from a relatively small number of people as well. Polls said Hillary was beating Trump handily just before the 2016 election. So much for polls.

Low information, lazy voters who have no idea what the policy differences are. They’re used to the social media “like” button & think oh, she looks nice & happy too. If they vote that’s how they decide.

One of the best tweets ever, possibly the best, is Hillary's actual account saying we need to call him Tampon Tim.

It's impossible to discern if this is a typical grandma cringe post or a sociopathic attempt to sink the presidential campaign of another female.

Yes, there's the DUI and the lunatic comments when Minneapolis was burning.

But there's more here that I find offensive.

It's the coastal elite attitude of finally discovering the fly-over states. Can't you hear them? Gee whiz, golly gosh! They have actual INDOOR PLUMBING. And PAVED STREETS!

Most of them have their own TEETH and some can read.

So by 1995, Walz’s National Guard service in an artillery battalion had rendered him too deaf to understand a conversation (a condition previously undiagnosed, untreated, and unnoticed by Walz, or anyone else). But his deafness apparently went into remission promptly thereafter, enabling him to remain in the guard for another 10 years. A bona fide miracle, for sure.

That particular lie, offered with zero corroborating evidence, would have gotten me laughed out of court - after a thorough reaming by the judge (“Counsel, you don’t seem like a stupid man. Do I”) Maybe judges are just way more credulous in Minnesota, but I doubt it.

Walz’s decision to cut and run on his men, after his battalion got warning orders to prepare for formal deployment orders was contemptible. Classic blue falcon stuff. You can Google “blue falcon” and decide for yourself whether you agree it fits Walz. Trust me, though, it’s not a term of respect or endearment.

Finally, the way Walz danced around his decision to retire two years short of his six-year re-enlistment agreement, but boasted about “carrying weapons in war” was simply a way of trying to create the impression that he was a hybrid of Audie Murphy and Sergeant York, while maintaining a slick plausible deniability that allowed him to deny overtly lying.

But it isn’t plausible, and it shows that Walz is a blue falcon inveterate liar.

It is a bit odd that when he was a teacher at a high school he started a club for gay kids and them became it's advisor.

I live in a military community and a large portion of my clientele are Navy Seals, Navy pilots and their families. I have been to numerous funerals for these warriors and went to Arlington for their burials. To see the carnage left behind with the suffering wives and kids is overwhelming. This ass clown saying he was in battle when he wasn't is a slap in the face of these families. This lie should be disqualifying. Imagine if these two win in November and something happens to Kamaltoe. Walz Around The Truth would be the Commander in Chief. All of these dead warriors would be rolling in their graves.

My veteran husband and I are both almost as incensed as we were when the lying scumbag John Kerry ran for president. I hope Walz gets swift boated or something similar. We happily donated to the Swift Boat vets and had great satisfaction to see him lose the presidency.

True enough. But I'd still prefer just about anyone to Kamala (except Hillary and Michelle).

Alex, I really appreciate your unbiased investigational reporting in presenting just the facts on Tim Walz and Vance. I have waited so long for someone who is clearly intelligent to do what you are doing! As a scientist (PhD immunology), I have been following you ever since your reporting on Covid as I was baffled at what I was seeing in the mainstream media and disgusted with the lack of discussion about the cons of vaccination with the new mRNA technology. The vaccine mandates put me over the top in my distrust of those making decisions in science and politics.

Well said! Totally agree! Thank you Alex! Looking forward to hearing more about this horrible pair- Frick and Frack or Dumb and Dumber, or whatever we want to call them. Time to dig into their records and start talking about it ALL! There’s so much material that it’s probably challenging to decide where to begin…

Quayle was a lightweight, but this guy is liar and a cheat. Quayle was good fodder for comedy. This jerk isn't funny. He's dangerously horrifying. You didn't mention that he claimed to be a Command Sargent Major [edited for accuracy] when he retired, even though he did not complete the training or the service for the conditional rank. (He bailed when the deployment warning was issued.) He retired a Master Sargent. Apparently this was just not good enough, so he made it up. This might not seem like a big deal to most people, but as the spouse of a Vietnam combat medic (yes, treated troops under fire), stolen valor matters a great deal to us. When he came back in the early 70's no one thanked him for his service, trust me. And now there are the reports today, that Walz, as governor, interacted with a radical Muslim cleric multiple times. This cleric praised the October 7th massacre and showed a pro-Hitler film. Oh yeah, and he gave this cleric a 100K grant in state funds. Who's Hitler now? Better question, who the heck did the vetting?
