It was inconceivable to me that Kamala Harris would select Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate because of his record in office. His record as governor ranges from the horrible to the despicable. I made this point, by the way, before Harris selected Walz, in the July 30 Free Beacon column “Take my governor — please.”
In that column I wrote that Walz would never live down the frauds committed under the watch of the state agencies under his jurisdiction. Now CNN has taken up these frauds in the (necessarily long) story “As fraud scandals erupt in Minnesota on Gov. Tim Walz’s watch, accountability is in short supply.”
By far the most notorious of these is the Feeding Our Future case. It represents the single biggest COVID fraud uncovered in the United States to date. When it comes to COVID fraud, we’re number one. All together, 70 defendants have been charged. As of today, twenty-six or so have pleaded guilty.
The first of the cases to go to trial featured a large cast of seven defendants—the biggest criminal trial ever in federal court here. Five of the seven defendants were convicted. Two were acquitted. The remaining cases have yet to be tried.
Under the auspices of the Feeding Our Future nonprofit, defendants purported to dish out millions of meals to children and families. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) administered the payout of some $250 million to reimburse mythical meals served around the state. The nature and scale of the fraud are staggering.
In guilty pleas taken on September 20, for example, one defendant “admitted that he falsely claimed to have provided more than 15 million meals, including 140,000 at a single site in Pelican Rapids in October 2021 alone. The town is home to about 2,500 people.”

Just some of the “thousands of points of light” in Minnesota.
I’m not surprised Commielaw would choose Tampon Timmy, aka Tamponocchio as her running mate.
God works in mysterious ways.
I'll never forget that night. And even MN was close.
Yes, He sure does.
Biden was always corrupt, and his growing dementia left him as litle more than a front for a cabal of handlers. Harris, will be even more corrupt, and more dependent. The handlers have developed a taste for running things themselves.
Would these people ever pick:
1) An honest, independent, knowledgable, straight-arrow for the VP slot?
2) Someone who would refuse to go along with shady policy, dirty deals, and unconstitutional acts they perceive as wrong?
3) Someone with too much integrity to be bought off or silenced?
4) Someone too clean to blackmail?
Of course not. Walz’s lies, corruption, communism, and lack of policy expertise are just what the Dem’s “team” wants in a VP.
They knew it was a lost cause so they ran a couple of knuckleheads. Their spectacular bench was spared.

Hairy/Balz....the DEMOCRAT DREAM TEAM!!
As I recall President Reagan refused to campaign in that state in respect for his opponent.
Times sure have changed
I am not sure what bench you refer to, can’t think of one. With that said, until Vance had his performance at the debate I was wondering who we had for a bench.
Trump/Vance 2024. Vance/Gabbard 2028
Side note, can’t help but think the deep state knows how bad things are going to get and want Trump at the helm when things go overtly south big time.
Imagine what Trump could have accomplished with help from his own party first go around instead of deep staters like Lyin er ah ryan and mittens
There is lies from the Democrat Media and there is Harris and Walz. Two people that don’t act much like winners, but losers.
Mentioning the “bench” was pure jest. They do not even have a lineup.
