Tim Walz Looks Like an Increasing Liability
for Harris

Original Article

Tim Walz hasn't exactly had the best introduction to the nation. Despite the best efforts of the campaign and the mainstream media to brand him as a midwestern centrist and "America's dad," among other things, it's hard not to wonder if Walz will be the next candidate the campaign will force off the ticket to make for someone less controversial and with less baggage. The biggest issue, of course, is that Walz has come under fire for stolen valor. Earlier this month, Newsweek reported that the Minnesota National Guard was disputing Walz's military biography. They reported that despite the governor's assertions, Walz did not retire with the rank of command sergeant major.

Dropping the VP candidate has been done before…Thomas Eagleton, McGovern’s running mate in 1972 when it came out that he had been treated for mental issues. This looks like it might be moving that way here.

This is Kamala's failure. She decided that he was a good choice. Just shows how bad her decision making is. And it will not change.

This was never a mistake. The Democrats need to consolidate the far-left vote so they put the biggest lefty they could get on the ticket. This appeals to groups like BLM and Antifa. The Democrats need their votes and their cheating. They are trying to re-establish the coalition that elected Obama twice.

AWOLz is a commie, and he has an enormous mouth that could probably swallow a major league baseball whole. He wouldn't even have to take bites.

The Milwaukee Police Association endorsed the Trump-Vance campaign on Friday in a statement that emphasized the many challenges facing officers in the city. “We like to say the Milwaukee Police Association is the ‘force behind the force,’” said MPA president Alex Ayala. “We use the words ‘honor’ and ‘service’ when we talk about the brave men and women of our department. Their importance extends far beyond the uniform and badge; it is about their commitment to serving and protecting us all.” Ayala highlighted the issues facing law enforcement in Milwaukee: “low bail for dangerous criminals, the need for an honest and concerted effort to pursue those offenders wanted on bench warrants,

We are just over one month since a smelly, pimply-faced incel tried to assassinate Donald Trump. The FBI immediately began its "investigation," and that's when I knew we were in trouble. Not only have we learned next to nothing about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, but the mockingbird media mudpuppies have also memory-holed the shooting like it never happened. Let's list what we know have been told by the vanilla, mainstream news yobbos about Crooks and his attempt to kill President Trump: Crooks was a "lone wolf" (yawn, heard that one before). He had three mysterious, overseas, encrypted accounts (but no one is talking about that anymore).
Even An Obama Economist is Trashing Kamala's
Price Control Plan

Kamala Harris spent weeks avoiding press interviews, press conferences, and even making any bold policy announcements. However, on Friday, she unveiled her economic agenda, and it was such a disaster that something tells me it's back to the basement for Kamala. First, a liberal columnist at the Washington Post trashed Kamala's price control plan, and now, a Harvard economist who served in the Obama administration is also blasting the proposal. "This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality," Jason Furman told The New York Times. "There’s no upside here, and there is some downside."

Some protest groups are predicting 100,000 demonstrators during the Democratic National Convention next week. File that one under the "I'll believe it when I see it" category. The city and law enforcement authorities are keeping mum about their predictions of crowd size for the demonstrations but the more rational protest organizers are saying between 30,000 to 40,000 people are expected to march. That's still an awfully large number for the Chicago Police Department to handle when you consider the immense area they're going to have to protect. Chicago business owners at "Ground Zero" of the protests — the West Loop and the area around Union Park — are taking no chances.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Torn Between

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson began his career as an activist organizer for the Chicago Teachers Union. He's marched, went on hunger strikes, and stood in solidarity with the "defund the police" movement. (“I don’t look at it as a slogan. It’s an actual real political goal.”) At a roundtable discussion in 2023 during his campaign for mayor, the radical left activists who were supplying much of the energy and heart to his campaign were deeply disappointed because Johnson wasn't, well, radical enough. “I’m not going to become mayor and then capitalism will fall,” he joked, according to meeting attendee, author Asha Ransby-Sporn. But it's where Johnson's heart is.

Summer is nearly over, and that means back to school for both big and little kids. For smaller kids, that means a trip to Walmart or Target or wherever you get overpriced children's fashions and school supplies. For big kids, that means laying in supplies to survive the coming protests. What are all the kids wearing to the "Free Palestine" riots? Hopefully, the returning students were able to save up enough bail money from their summer jobs (if that's even a thing anymore). The protests will be back. And they'll be given a huge shot of Starbucks double espresso as kids who watched all the excitement and romanticism during the protests

I believe it's perfectly fair to describe Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) as a "baddie," a term we young folks often use. It's worth noting that Luna had a brief stint in modeling about ten years ago, long before her political career took off. And yes, she did do swimsuit stuff. One brief video of her from 2016 modeling a "Make America Great Again" one-piece swimsuit has been generating controversy for some incomprehensible reason.

Extinction Rebellion activists plan to storm Windsor Castle where the Princess of Wales often spends time as she recovers from cancer and occupy areas that are off limits to the public, MailOnline can reveal. They also aim to cause mayhem in Windsor town centre by targeting hotels and restaurants as well as shutting down roads as part of a planned three-day mass demonstration. While the demo has been made known by the group, the tactic of breaking into the castle grounds by hard core members was uncovered by a leading security and risk assessment organisation who infiltrated XR group chats.

Washington, D.C.’s 911 dispatch system is so broken that employees are reportedly being bribed with bonuses just for showing up to work. Dispatchers reportedly received an email on Tuesday from Heather McGaffin, the director of the city’s Office of Unified Communications (OUC), offering them $800 a month in addition to their salaries if they arrived to work for their scheduled shifts. “According to OUC, in May, 50 of 66 shifts were properly staffed,” WJLA reported. “In June, only about half — 34 shifts were adequately covered. And by July, records show that only eight of 66 shifts were enough staff to meet emergency needs.”

Progressive policies have driven one more business out of San Francisco, with the city’s last remaining Denny’s permanently closing its doors this month. After 25 years, the 24-hour Denny’s restaurant near Union Square closed as owner Chris Haque said he held on as long as he could. But a combination of crime, vandalism, lack of business, and customers who would frequently eat and leave without paying left Haque with no choice. As of Aug. 12, the sign for the Denny’s “that was once California’s most expensive” was painted over, according to SFGate. “We’re the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Haque said.

It is the first time the vice president is outlining her own priorities and setting herself apart from the Biden administration since President Biden's exit from the presidential race last month.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she tells Republican leaders, “We’re out to get you, you’re dead,” and likened Donald Trump to a fascist, weeks after Trump was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin. Pelosi pounded the table angrily in an interview with reporters while “dispensing wisdom that sounds like a mix of a crime boss and local party activist,” The Washington Post reported. Following the assassination attempt on Trump, President Joe Biden gave an Oval Office address that said that political rhetoric has a role in contributing to violence. “We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said. “The political rhetoric in this country

The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks. Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone. Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Democrats appear rattled that they could lose Senate, House, and presidential elections if Vice President Kamala Harris is transparent about policy solutions to reverse the administration’s failures. Harris, who has not held an unscripted press conference for 26 days since joining the race, is facing calls to not only remain hidden from the press but to keep her proposed policies a secret as she prepares to deliver economic proposals in North Carolina on Friday. Harris, however, already published several policies, such as socialist-style price controls, subsidies for homeowners, and two policies that copy the Trump-Vance ticket: a child tax credit and no tax on tips.

This is an official Kamala Harris campaign video. It is hard to say what the point is. Kamala ridicules white people for eating food that isn’t spicy. The commercial is a dialogue between Harris and Tim Walz. Walz plays the white guy who eats “white guy tacos.” Walz is the bottom end of this relationship: he humiliates himself by being subservient to Harris, on behalf of (obviously inferior) white people: (X) Playing to idiotic racial stereotypes is commonly known as racism. One wonders how Walz’s fellow Minnesotans will react to his claim that we don’t eat any spices more exotic than pepper. The whole thing is puzzling. Other than reassuring voters
