As Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his police chief were frantically calling Governor Tim Walz in the summer of 2020 to save a besieged police precinct, Governor Tim Walz refused to send National Guard soldiers to help the beleaguered police officers. Later, in rationalizing and justifying his conscious decision to let riots metastasize, Walz said the Guard wasn't up to the task. [tweet] He went on to say, "Putting a young troop with limited experience in the military with a loaded automatic weapon in the middle of a system with no one giving him direction That was on Wednesday, by the time Walz finally authorized the deployment of "19-year-old" cooks,

Comments:

I served in the Guard in the 60's/70's. We not only had combat training but urban control training, as it was a tumultuous time. Does Waltz know he was the CIC of the Minnesota Guard and if they hadn't been trained properly it's his fault.

While I appreciate Watzy being exposed for the ha(r)ppy fraud he is, we need to stay focused on Heelzup and her record. And as Charles Payne pointed out, she’ll say anything to get (s)elected. Then govern as the communist she is.

Shamala and the Creep© Watched them bouncing about on stage a couple of days ago, the only thing missing was the frizz hair, red bulb noses and size 24 shoes. Shamala jiggles in place and cackles her head off, while The Creep wanders about with open mouth looking like a cross between Bozo and John Gacy in makeup. What an impressive Executive line-up...NOT.

Addendum to post #6: William “Willie” Johnston was awarded the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF ELEVEN. Jacklyn Harold "Jack" Lucas was an American Marine in World War II who was awarded the Medal of Honor at the age of 17 years as a private first class in the Marine Corps during the Battle of Iwo Jima. These are just three examples. I'm sure there are more. Tim Walz, you are a fraud and a coward. ESAD. Like most DemonCommieCrats, you should rightfully be in prison.

First, ALL of our nation's wars have been fought with 19 year olds (and younger.) Second, EVERY soldier in the Army, since at least WW1, has received basic combat training before being sent into harm's way. If needed to do so, they are trained to abandon their actual positions in admin or finance or the motor pool or the mess hall or even the hospital, and take their place "in the line." Although older than 19 (about 34), the first person to be awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II, was Sergeant Jose Calugas, Battery B, 1st Battalion, 88th Field Artillery, for actions on the Bataan Penninsula. His actual position in his unit was Mess Segeant. In other words . . . . a cook. To re-iterate what the OP said, Tim Walz is the Commander in Chief of the Minnesota National Guard. If Walz thinks his young soldiers aren't up to it, and that they are "in the middle of a system with no one giving him direction" - the person to correct that is YOU, "Commander in Chief Master Sergeant"! And you are seriously above your pay grade.

Why would the Minnesota Democrats back the promotion of a man to the rank of Command Sergeant Major in their National Guard who disrespects his troops by referring to them in such terms as being a gaggle of 19 year old untrained cooks? When I was 17 years old I was a US Army infantryman on the ground in Korea near the demilitarized zone facing North Korea for over a year. My immediate supervisory non-commissioned officer (squad leader) was a career infantryman who had fought with the Japanese-American 442nd Regiment in Italy during the Second World War, and my platoon sergeant was also a career infantryman who had fought with Merrill’s Marauders in Burma during the Second World War. Both had also seen combat during the Korean War. Their jobs were to ensure that all the young troops under their control were fully trained as we”Humped the Yamas” just about every day and a lot of nights. Those career non-commissioned officers never made disrespectful or disparaging remarks toward their troops. No doubt there is a big difference between legitimate career non-commissioned officers and the fake politician class that shuns active service in combat zones. Following all that I spent the entire year 1968 on the ground in Vietnam as a Staff Sergeant and luckily came back to the USA all in one piece. I thought I would give a little different perspective on all that based upon my experiences of long ago.

A former Illinois public school food service director has been sentenced to nine years in prison for pulling off a $1.5 million chicken wing heist, prosecutors said. Vera Liddell worked for Harvey School District 152, an “impoverished” Chicago-area district, for over a decade until she was accused of stealing the food she was tasked with providing to children in January 2023, WGN reported. Court records obtained by the outlet accused the 66-year-old of placing orders for more than 11,000 cases of chicken wings from the school district’s food provider, picking them up in a district van, and not delivering them to children who were remote-learning at the time.

Gov.

Walz has suggested on multiple occasions that he carried weapons into war — including in a video shared by the Harris campaign — despite having never served in a combat. “We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Walz said in a 2018 video advocating gun control. That clip was shared Tuesday by the Harris campaign.

CNN host Brianna Keilar attacked JD Vance’s record, referring to it yesterday as if it were a trip to a resort. Vance’s deployment wasn’t spring break. It’s not a cushy job either, which was the gross insinuation. It’s well that Maj. Shawn Haney (ret.) came on CNN to shut down the notion that Vance did nothing in Iraq. Haney, a public affairs officer, also corrected Keilar, noting the dangers of being a combat correspondent, citing 130 individuals who did not make it home.[snip for tweets] Also, Keilar didn’t apologize or backtrack but instead engaged—to cite liberals—'bothsideism,’ going on a prolonged monologue about the perniciousness of the attacks on military records.

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler, the Washington Examiner found. The imam, Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, joined other Muslim leaders in May 2023 for a meeting about mosque security with Walz’s gubernatorial office in Minnesota. Zaman also spoke at a May 2020 event to call for peaceful protests with the governor during the riots in Minnesota sparked after George Floyd’s death.

Governor Tim Walz loves him some totalitarian lockdowns.

He even followed the New York practice of slamming COVID patients into nursing homes, in the middle of the population that was far and away most likely to suffer severe effects from the virus; and he to this day insists that this wasn't a mistake. We can be pretty certain that he thinks the whole thing wasn't a mistake

Senior reporter Paul Sperry from RealClear Investigations recently uncovered a disturbing pattern in Walz’s relationship with China. According to investigative journalist Paul Sperry on X, Walz traveled to China annually from 1996 until at least 2003. His travels were not merely for tourism; he was granted a special work visa by the Chinese government, which raises questions about his loyalties and motivations.
