During an interview with Michigan’s Fox 17 WXMI on Friday, 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) stated that Americans are better off economically than they were four years ago. Fox 17 Special Projects and Investigative Producer Ilene Gould asked, “On Tuesday, during the debate, the first question was, to the vice president, are Americans better off than they were four years ago, regarding the economy? She didn’t necessarily directly answer that question, and I want to give you a chance, what’s your response?”

Earlier, we told you how Tim Walz lied about gay marriage and got wrecked for it. Walz's assertion anyone is going to ban gay marriage is laughable. Donald Trump was pro-gay marriage before Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, and Obergefell made it the law of the land in 2015. But Walz didn't stop at gay marriage. At the same dinner, he said it was illegal to be gay in Nebraska, where he grew up and that it's still illegal today. Watch: What a pathetic little man. Because this writer has more integrity than the Democratic nominee for Vice President, she...

WASHINGTON – Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) today issued a subpoena to Governor Tim Walz’s administration to hold it accountable in what has been called the “largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the nation.” Subpoenas were also issued to the Biden-Harris administration’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and its Office of Inspector General (OIG). In 2022, a U.S. attorney charged 70 individuals associated with Minnesota-based Feeding Our Future (FOF) for their alleged roles in defrauding the USDA of over $250 million in taxpayer funds—money intended to feed hungry children. To date, five individuals have been convicted of...

Resign @GovTimWalz Tampon Tim! Video surfaced with Tim Walz claiming “when I was in Afghanistan”! Tim Walz should resign in disgrace! He was NEVER in Afghanistan! Liar!

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has surely benefited from his portrayal as the country’s “football dad.” But he wouldn’t have passed the truth test in my father’s household, where lying was ranked as the highest punishable offense. I’m not saying that Walz lies, precisely. But he tends to gild his résumé for political gain. He’s hardly the first to do this. And it’s not always detrimental to one’s career, as Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), has proved. Blumenthal claimed to be a Vietnam veteran even though he sought and received at least five deferments to avoid serving in the war. Walz, too,...

Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz has been caught lying about a number of things, and a letter from 2006 to Walz from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce is now making the rounds showing this has been a pattern for quite a while: What else has this guy lied about? From the Free Beacon: When Tim Walz launched his 2006 campaign for Congress in rural Minnesota, he boasted in his public biography that in 1993, he "was named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce for his service in the education, military, and small business communities." That...

A CNN panel on Thursday urged vice presidential nominee Tim Walz to apologize for misrepresenting his military rank. Fifty congressional Republicans with military backgrounds called on Walz Wednesday to publicly address “egregious misrepresentations” about his 24-year Army National Guard service, and accused him of falsely claiming to be a “Retired Command Sergeant Major,” despite allegedly not completing the requirements. CNN political commentators David Urban, Van Jones and Alyssa Farah Griffin, on “CNN News Central,” each advocated for Walz to take ownership of his misstatements, saying it would be politically beneficial for him to do so. (RELATED: CNN’s Jim Acosta Corrects...

Just like claims that he served in war, or retired as a command sergeant major, the story Walz tells about reenlisting is not true.When Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was introduced as Kamala Harris’ running mate, the campaign presented him as a bonified patriot, a career National Guardsman who retired as a command sergeant major after 24 years of faithful service to his country, including a deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.Walz enlisted two days after his 17th birthday in April 1981. As Walz tells it, when the planes hit the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, the attack compelled...

Just wondering, did you also “misprint” your rank as Command Sergeant Major on your Congressional Challenge Coin?

DETROIT, MI — Coming under heavy criticism over allegedly false claims about his military service, Minnesota governor and current vice presidential candidate Tim Walz clarified that he's never been to Iraq, but he has been to downtown Minneapolis, which is basically the same thing. After Walz faced accusations of "stolen valor" after repeatedly claiming to have seen combat in Iraq, he admitted that while he had never actually been there, he had spent a lot of time in and around the hellish, war-torn landscape of downtown Minneapolis, meaning he had likely experienced the same type of horror. "Believe me, it's...

It’s been widely reported that Gov. Tim Walz lied about his military service. We know that Walz rapidly exited the military once he knew he would be deployed in a war zone. And yet he launched his political career by lying about being a military veteran who had gone off to war. At Dossier.Today, Jordan Schachtel connects the dots to the start of Walz’s political career. Schachtel dug up an Atlantic profile of Walz telling the big lie that launched his political career. Command Sergeant Major Tim Walz is a twenty-four-year veteran of the Army National Guard, now retired but...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “GMA3,” Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) responded to criticisms of 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) handling of riots in the state in 2020 by stating that a governor’s job “is to de-escalate, to protect public safety, to bring calm. That’s what Tim Walz was doing in that moment, he was trying to de-escalate.” Co-host Erielle Reshef asked, “Governor, Republicans are taking the opportunity to go after Walz for his record and what they say was a missed opportunity or mishap during the protests in his own state, a mishandling of...

Anyone who claims to understand the forces at work in modern U.S. politics has almost certainly exaggerated. For instance, on July 13, former President Donald Trump responded to a failed assassination attempt with a display of defiant courage. Afterward, only the most deranged Trump haters could deny that they had witnessed what all human beings from the beginning of time have recognized as rare bravery. Then, little more than three weeks later, Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose as her running mate a man who, according to a former command sergeant major and fellow NCO in...

In the coming days and weeks, you will hear a lot about Tim Walz. You'll hear about his leadership, you'll hear about his time in office, and you'll hear about his military service. But here's the truth you won't hear from the mainstream media: Tim Walz abandoned his men before a combat deployment, and he abandoned his city when it was literally on fire. That's the kind of leader Tim Walz truly is.

On a 150-year-old farm in Brewster, Tom Behrends hopes his tell-it-like-it-is style will finally get the attention he believes it deserves in Minnesota’s race for governor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVURKDLzrF4&t=5s AND A TRANSCRIPT Follow along using the transcript.

The Left is so desperate to pass off Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a down-to-earth midwesterner they'll go on MSNBC and try to lie about his progressive record. He used a fake name -- Tim Mankato -- and an associated email address to hide what he did during the pandemic, including overseeing $250 million in federal food programs.

Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal is growing. Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. Immediately after Walz was introduced as Kamala’s running mate, a video of him falsely claiming to be a combat veteran surfaced. Walz’s stolen valor scandal is only getting worse and he refuses to answer questions from the press. A 2007 video of Tim Walz falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom has surfaced. “I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of...

Walz had a blood alcohol concentration of .128 at the time of the incident, according to a court transcript. Gov. Tim Walz has said in past campaigns that he wasn’t actually drunk when he was pulled over for driving under the influence in 1995, but a court transcript from the case tells a different story. Walz was working as a teacher in Alliance, Neb., his home state, when he was pulled over Sept. 23, 1995 for going 96 mph in a 55-mph zone. “A strong odor of alcoholic beverage was detected emitting from Mr. Walz[‘s] breath and person,” says a...

a stone-cold socialist ... Tim Walz has never "carried" a weapon "in war" because Tim Walz - citizen soldier - has never been to war. The closest he got to a battlefield in 25 years in various Guard units was a deployment to Italy.... In late summer of 2003 ... when his unit got called up for deployment to an actual war zone in 2005 and Tim Walz had been appointed as their command's acting senior enlisted leader? Tim Walz bugged out on his guys. "Retired" to run for Congress, while everyone else he'd trained with left for battlefields in...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, owns no stocks, bonds or real estate, according to his most recent financial disclosure. Walz’s salary as governor of Minnesota is $127,629. He was eligible for a raise last year to $149,550, but he chose not to accept it, according to the state. If Walz is elected vice president in November, he would make an annual salary of $284,600, based on 2024 rates. In 2019, after Walz was elected governor, he and his wife sold their Mankato, Minnesota, home and moved into the governor’s mansion. They listed...
