im Walz may have the manner of a kindly, Midwestern dad. But when it comes to protecting the country’s children from transgender medical interventions, Walz is not interested. In fact, he wants the opposite. Vice President Kamala Harris tapped the Minnesota governor as her running mate Tuesday, prompting scrutiny of his progressive record on everything from immigration to abortion and gender ideology. Walz signed a cluster of legislation in April 2023 that established Minnesota as a haven for children who want puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or transgender surgeries. One law Walz signed allows Minnesota to seize custody of a child...

Two years ago, Jemar Tisby, the author of The Color Compromise and President of The Witness Inc. and The Witness Foundation, was wailing and gnashing his teeth into the internet ethers, insisting to anyone who might have the misfortune to stumble on his page that he wasn’t a liberal. This public rejoinder was precipitated by his belief that he was done dirty after Grove City College publicly distanced itself from him following a talk he gave about racism, which some felt leaned far too heavily on Critical Race Theory. Then he praised and platformed a Universalist Anti-Christ pastrix, removing all...

Dem veep pick Tim Walz has fawned over his time living in China, saying he will “never” be treated as well as when he was in the Communist country and hailing the repressive regime’s lack of crime. The Minnesota governor spent 1989 to 1990 teaching school in China as a part of the WorldTeach program based out of Harvard University — one of the first Americans accepted into the program, according to the Star-Herald... “They gave me more gifts than I could bring home. It was an excellent experience,” Walz said,... Walz and his wife, Gwen Whipple, went on to...

In shocking news, Trump suggested that there is a growing movement among Democrats to “bring back Crooked Joe. In a separate post, he continued his tirade: “What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamala, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing...

[Catholic Caucus] The long road to replacing Cardinal O'MalleyThe announcement Monday that Bishop Richard Henning will replace Cardinal Sean O’Malley as Archbishop of Boston has ended one of the longest-running points of speculation in the Church in the United States. O’Malley steps down after more than two decades in charge of what has traditionally been one of the country’s most prominent sees. He turned 80 years old in June, aging him out of participation in a future conclave, and putting him more than five years past the nominal episcopal retirement age.The announcement of Henning as his replacement follows years of...

Rosie O’Donnell claimed that she purchased 100 “Kamala T-shirts,” and she vowed not to remove them until Vice President Kamala Harris is elected president. During a virtual call hosted by the group, “Comics for Kamala,” O’Donnell described the day President Joe Biden announced he was exiting the presidential race and endorsed Harris to be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee as being “the most glorious act of generosity.”

Elon Musk has been branded “deeply irresponsible” for stoking tensions in the UK on his social media site X/ Twitter. The multi–billionaire, who bought the tech firm in 2022, clashed with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words over riots across our country. Mr Musk published a stream of posts on the crisis, sharing videos from right-wing influencers and memes about the UK to his 193 million followers. He branded the PM “two-tier Keir” in reference to accusations of “two-tier policing” in Britain, which the PM has rejected. Last night MPs said Mr Musk could be summoned to...

Kamala Harris has finally picked a VP running mate, but it's not the person everyone thought it was going to be. @Elex_Michaelson joined us on TMZ Live to discuss her choice!

California is doing all it can to expand renewable energy production and rebuild its electrical infrastructure after flaws led to a series of devastating wildfires. The state’s big utilities are spending billions to bury power lines and insulate wires, while at the same time moving quickly away from fossil fuels by building big solar and wind farms and transmission lines to carry the power. As a result, resident Jessica Simpson Nehrer, who lives in Borrego Springs, near San Diego, has seen her electricity bill for her ranch-style house soar. It hit $1,873.90 in June, far exceeding her $1,200 rent and...

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Tuesday on her network’s special “Decision 2024” coverage that Vice President Kamala Harris has run a “flawless campaign” while discussing her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). Wallace said, “In 2008, working for the McCain campaign and watching the Obama campaign and there was something cellular about momentum and winning, and they have this cellular winningness going on.”

Back when she was San Francisco D.A., U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, now a presidential contender and a self-described "progressive prosecutor," cost the city of San Francisco millions of dollars and cost Jamal Trulove more than six years of his life. Harris allowed the people working under her to pursue a murder charge against Trulove that was ultimately overturned by an appeals court. Harris has yet to account for this incident, which is in stark contrast to the progressive image she is trying to project as she runs for president. Trulove shares his experience growing up in San Francisco and his...

Kamala Harris has finally made her selection of her running mate, and it was probably the worst choice — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, someone who isn't well-known across the country, except perhaps for his failure to properly stop the riots in 2020 that burned Minneapolis. Not exactly the best thing to be known for. There are a ton of clips of him saying things that most Americans would find bizarre and/or disqualifying, as well as a lot of other baggage. It doesn't seem a very smart choice for a far-left candidate to double down on the far-left. That might get...

More questions than answers.

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s wife, Gwen, said she left her windows open to “smell the burning tires” during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots because she felt it was a “touchstone” moment.An interview clip with Gwen Walz discussing the 2020 riots and her reaction to them resurfaced online Tuesday after Vice President Kamala Harris announced she would be choosing the Minnesota governor as her running mate for the 2024 election. In the interview, which was aired on KSTP-TV’s “5 Eyewitness News Nightcast” channel, Gwen could be heard talking about the riots and her choice to leave the “windows open...
