New: In 2021 9/11 Speech, Tim Walz References
'Being on the Tarmac at Bagram' During
a Ramp Ceremony

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/12/2024 12:50:36 AM

Speaking to a crowd of veterans on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talked about his time in the National Guard and missing a year of his daughter's life, then immediately followed that reference with a story about standing on the tarmac at Bagram Air Base and watching a ramp ceremony, and the emotional effect that had on him. If listeners knew nothing else about Walz, they'd believe that he missed a year of his daughter's life because he deployed for combat and saw some hard things. But, as we all know now, that's not the case. He deployed to Italy

Anyone old enough to remember when stuff like this would have deep sixed Walz' political aspirations within hours?

I say this in the kindest way possible, Walz is a yellow, commie-loving fatherless child who deserves second place behind Harris. Not that either of them will get the prize they seek. (Unless hell freezes over and all the little devils go ice skating.) He adds a new dimension to Yellow Dog Democrat.

What are the odds they dump him for Kelly at the convention? Which is worse? Sticking with a bad pick or rewriting the ticket over and over for a new honeymoon period? Did they not vet this guy? Are they intentionally looking for a reason to lose? Is it just utter incompetence? Honestly, I can’t figure out their game.

Somewhere in Walz's embellished stories there is probably one that has him charging a nest of terrorists, guns blazing in both hands and drawing his knife to finish them off after he runs out of ammo. Guys like this never stop at just being there. Lt. Jon Carry could not be reached for comment.

“I stood one night in the dark of night on the tarmac at Bagram and watched a military ramp ceremony.” That cannot be dismissed as a misspoke, selective edit or taken out of context. And there is more. With corrupt guys like Walz there is no end to the stories.

I reread the article. From last paragraph; “Walz apparently participated in a ramp ceremony during a January 2008 Congressional visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan related to healthcare for veterans, but as a member of the House of Representatives since he had already been retired from the National Guard for a few years at that point.” Walz has deniability. This Red State story is apparently misleading.

Clearly Biden and Walz have a big something in common, they both lie about their careers big time, and have been getting away with that! But when the truth comes out, what do foreign leaders think of them and what are the chances that they will follow through with promises made during important negotiations with foreign leaders, not to mention what foreign peoples think when they watch those US politicians lies being uncovered on international TV.

Very true, #17. The DNC/MSM also had a virtual feeding frenzy over President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard service and criticized him soundly and roundly about his not being man enough to join the regular Air Force and deploy to Viet Nam. Instead the DNC/MSM through their useful idiot, Dan Rather, found a lone goofball in Texas who claimed to have "found the smoking gun" regarding GWBush's avoidance of deployment to Viet Nam, except for that damned Microsoft Times Roman Font the "smoking gun" DoD Order was written in. Interestingly we're not hearing ANYTHING from DNC/MSM about, "Deployment Avoidance," this electi JD Vance should challenge Tarmac Tim to a release of Military Records. Lift the veil and allow the American public to be the judge!

The Harris campaign runs misleading Google ads that look like news articles published by the establishment media, an Axios analysis found Tuesday. The strategy harnesses the ambiguous nature of the media’s oftentimes pro-Harris coverage with actual Harris campaign advertising. The Harris campaign edits the ads that “make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side,” Axios reported. “It’s a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn’t violate Google’s policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard.” “According to Google’s ad transparency center,

What's the betting line on this challenge? 100:1 against? Those odds would likely still be too low. During his conversation with Donald Trump, Elon Musk took a shot at the media coverage of Kamala Harris as "propaganda" designed to cover up her radical politics. He also ended up endorsing Trump, as I noted earlier. However, he also offered Harris equal access to the same vast community of voters ... if she has the courage to take it. Just how seriously does Harris take 'equity'? Newsweek apparently tried to get a comment from Team Kamala, but has yet to receive one.

Kamala Harris's honeymoon bounce in the polls has Democrats excited for the first time in a long time in this election. Even with that surge of enthusiasm, she's still only managing to take a small lead within the margin of error in the RealClearPolitics average. Nevertheless, her position appears to be much stronger than Joe Biden's but, CNN's Harry Enten is warning them that Harris doesn't have the election in the bag — not by a long shot. To explain why, he looked at battleground state polling in the previous two election cycles to see how far off they were from the results.

LAS VEGAS — Some of the best hackers in the world gathered in Las Vegas over the weekend to try to break into voting machines that will be used in this year’s election — all with an eye to helping officials identify and fix vulnerabilities. The problem? Their findings will likely come too late to make any fixes before Nov. 5. In one sense, it’s the normal course of events: Every August, hackers at the DEF CON conference find security gaps in voting equipment, and every year the long and complex process of fixing them means nothing is implemented until the next electoral cycle.

In a stunning display of hypocrisy and double standards, CBS News attacked former President Donald Trump when he announced his “no tax on tips” policy proposal in June and then suddenly became uncritical of the idea when Vice President Kamala Harris copied Trump on Saturday. “Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position, saying she’ll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” CBS announced in a Monday X post. However, when Trump first announced the policy proposal in June, CBS adopted a strikingly different tone. “Former President Donald Trump’s vow to stop taxing tips would cost the federal government up to $250 billion

With basic food items like bacon costing twice, four times, or five times more than under Trump, as Trump himself said during his interview with Musk on Twitter/X, the economy is paramount in 2024. Musk, himself a businessman, proposed slashing government spending and major deregulation. Trump agreed, saying he wants tax cuts both for citizens and businesses, reduction of debt, and especially energy independence by drilling the “liquid gold,” oil.

During the interview, Trump said that a Kamala Harris administration would enact harsh energy policies by pushing “Green Energy” with windmills and solar panels while hurting oil and fracking production. Later, the former president talked about artificial intelligence, which Elon Musk has been a proponent of, and how the country will not be able to compete with China on the technology if America’s energy production lowers.

The stealing class has figured out that it’s a working-class election. You can tell by what they pilfer. By “stealing class,” I mean the Harris-Walz campaign in particular, and the party of big government in general. They exist, and flourish, not by creating new wealth and ideas, but by stealing the produce of others. In Harris’ case, that means shamelessly stealing Donald Trump’s “no taxes on tips” proposal and floating it as if it were her idea, something made less plausible by Kamala’s lifelong history of not having original ideas. But it’s meant to show that she cares about the working class. In Walz’s case, what he stole was valor, posing as

Biden spoke to CBS’ Robert Costa in an interview taped for Sunday morning and stated that he left the race despite claiming he was in a dead heat with Trump in the polls (he wasn’t). But Democrats were concerned that his struggles would hurt them in down-ballot races. He also seemingly confirmed one critical part of the coup: Nancy Pelosi pressured him to drop out behind the scenes due to her concerns over him losing and dragging Congress down with him.
