"Rats have no shame, no honor, no integrity, no sense of decency." Looking at the Walz character, I think that rats used for comparison deserve an apology.

These people aren’t living in the real world. I’m surprised they didn’t introduce him as Mrs. Walz. Their reality is surreal.

It has already been proven and widely publicized that Walz did not retire with this rank. Instead of down playing this embarrassment they continue to use the title. It’s a big F you to the many Americans and especially veterans who see this as a huge disrespect. It’s hard to see how this helps them.

Maybe I'm a bad guy, but I'm not impressed with the zebra ranks. There comes a point where a guy becomes less of a sergeant and more of a politician. Usually thats around E-8 or so. When they get to the E-9+ ranks its all about the rubber chicken dinners and the inspirational speeches to the troops who they never see any other time. I'd rather have an NCO who knows how to use tools and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Spare me the command approved propaganda and fix something.

Vance should mock him by calling him "General Walz". After all, if you are inclined to assume a pretend rank, why not go for the top of the ladder.

It isn’t about the rank itself, so much as the lying and pretending to have earned it. Especially after abandoning his troops. Walz

Sorry,posted too soon … Walz is dishonoring everyone who honestly achieved the rank, and making a mockery of the requirements by blatantly glorying in a title he didn’t earn - not just a coward, but an arrogant, lying pretender.

The Arkansas Supreme Court on Thursday approved the state's rejection of a pro-abortion ballot initiative. The state rejected the initiative because organizers reportedly failed to provide proper documentation for hired signature gatherers. Arkansans for Limited Government, which sponsored the initiative, disputed the state's contention and argued it should have received more time to provide additional documentation, the Associated Press reported.[Snip]The initiative would have allowed abortion on demand in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and abortion after that time for rape, incest, threats to maternal health, or fetal abnormalities inconsistent with life.

Five newly-released undercover videos show Texas-based Planned Parenthood abortionists describing how they abort late-term babies alive and then dismember them to avoid the federal partial-birth abortion law and then sell the baby body parts for profit. Liberty Counsel’s client Sandra Merritt, and David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress, filmed the videos in 2015 during an undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood. Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris investigated and charged Merritt and Daleiden while the videos were blocked from public release by a court order. The videos have now been released after a congressional subpoena cleared the way for public viewing.

A massive new statue has been unveiled in the United States, with the gargantuan construct not honoring a famous American or historical figure but rather a polytheistic group’s god with the head of a monkey. The “Statue of Union” was inaugurated Aug. 18 at the Sri Ashtalakshmi Hindu Temple in Sugar Land, Texas. It depicts the Hindu god Lord Hanuman, one of the religion’s countless deities. Hanuman, a god of strength, devotion and selfless service, is most often depicted with the head and tail of a monkey. The monument stands exactly 89.7 feet tall, making it the third-tallest statue in the United States, according to the “Statue of Union” website.

I am feeling ready to go,” former president Barack Obama said to open his headlining speech, harking back to his 2008 campaign chant. “I am feeling hopeful, because this convention has always been pretty good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible.” There were the chants of “Yes, we can” and “Yes, she can.” There was the talk of “hope making a comeback,” a blatant effort by the Democrats to try to inject some of Obama’s 2008 magic

For the past few days, rumors and reports have indicated that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was going to downwardly revise their assessment of the number of jobs created from April 2023 to March 2024 “by up to 1 million. This means that all ‘beats’ recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US job market is in far worse shape than the admin[istration] would admit.” The revision is out, and while it’s not quite a million, it’s still really darn high — 818,000 fewer jobs created in that yearlong period than were initially reported.
