It happened again. The Democratic National Convention can’t keep to their schedule properly, which nearly derailed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s address. The left-wing governor accepted his party’s nomination for the vice presidency in front of a raucous crowd. He brought horsepower to the convention for all the wrong issues.
For a party that prides itself in promoting the joy and the promise of America, Walz attacked Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, for overcoming poverty, obtaining a higher education at an elite college, and making a life for himself that would not be possible anywhere else. It’s a shoddy and pathetic attempt to weaponize populism, which withers on the vine of Democratic politics. The party has no working people as its backbone—it’s all professional agitators, tech billionaires, and white-collar snobs. The coasts and the Acela Corridor are two regions of the country that can and have soaked up the costs of the Biden-Harris inflationary agenda.
Yet, like a bucking bronco, Gov. Walz expounded on how Kamala will cut taxes for the middle class, protect entitlements, take on Big Pharma, and ensure that you can buy a home if you want to. The pair has yet to explain how they’ll pay for this, and when Kamala does—it’s a word salad fiasco. Trump’s tax cuts did impact the middle class—91 percent of middle-income Americans got relief in 2017. Trump reduced the cost of insulin first as well. Kamala’s most extensive policy rollout thus far to address rising costs at the grocery store was to enact price controls.
Did Walz do well? Politically, yes—it was short, sweet, and to the point—but it was also covered in lies, hyperbole, and strangeness that oozes from the governor. He carefully glossed over his massive lie about how he and his wife used IVF treatment. But he’s an attack dog, though one who will likely get muzzled when he dukes it out with JD Vance.
Another line that Walz keeps expounding is “mind your damn business,” which is rich coming from a governor who established a COVID snitch hotline. He also struck a Maoist tone by wanting to work volunteers to death to get out the vote.
The man is one weird stallion, but so is this party. You’re all lucky that none of you have had to watch this freak show centered on a lust for abortion, perpetual victimhood, and hatred for those who aren’t like them.
Fact check: Walz said he ran for office in a deep red district. That's simply a lie.
Horsepower?
Well, at least the “horse” part was correct.
More like lyin’ jackass power.
horsepuckery
Correct: The maoist is a one trick jackass.
No God? They think they are God.
Walz' teenage son was sobbing uncontrollably in the audience while his father was at the podium. Tim Walz has produced a bona fide leftie soy boy.
Just the backend of a horse though. 😁
In the words of the late radio host Les Kinsolving, Walz is a perfect example of the great theological paradox: why, in His omnipotence and omniscience, did God create more horses’ arses than horses?
By horse’power’ does that mean horse’reproductive juices’?
Well he is a horse’s ass.
Let’s hear it from the Road Apple Gang!
What? Walz was given a security clearance even though he told the reviewer that he visited communist China scores of times??? He did disclose that on his SF-86, didn’t he???
ISWYDT...................
Not “The Manchurian Candidate”, but “The Beijing Candidate”.
Joe Biden at least collected a paycheck from the CCP. “Gov’ner” Tim Walz is willing to deliver even more services, for free.
Is this humor about when he had to have his stomach pumped?
Walz defeated six-term Rep. Gil Gutknecht in 2006 by a 53-47 margin. It probably is not unfair to call the southern Minnesota distrct as it existed in 2002-2006 a red district, as Gutknecht won by 60-35 and 61-35 margins in 2002 and 2004.
His electoral history shows the effects of national swings on local districts. Gutknecht was preceded by Tim Penny, a nationally famous “Blue Dog” who talked a good game on balancing the budget. Penny was first elected in 1982 in the reaction to Reagan’s sweep in 1980, probably aided by the state legislature who had just redistricted Minnesota. Penny quit in 1994 ahead of the House banking scandal, which led to Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America” and stunning 54 seat flip which won the GOP the House for the first time in 40 years. Gutnecht then got swept out of the House himself in 2006, George W Bush’s “six year curse” election, where there were a few minor GOP individual member scandals that blew up on them, causing the ‘Rats to flip 40 seats and regain control of the House.
