Below is my column in USA Today on the most chilling moment from the Vance-Walz debate when the Democratic nominee showed why he is part of the dream ticket for the anti-free speech movement. Here is the column: In the vice presidential debate Tuesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pulled the fire alarm. His opponent, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, cited the massive system of censorship supported by Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate. Walz proceeded to quote the line from a 1919 case in which Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said you do not have the right to...

Much has already been written about Tuesday night’s debate between the two Vice Presidential hopefuls. Tim Walz has had a long love affair with China. Below I will address his attempt to excuse his lie during the debate about being in China during the Tiananmen Square “protests.” Not only did he try to minimize the lie, but he attempted to pass off the murder of innocents as “democracy protests,” without mentioning that his Chinese friends used tanks to massacre innocent, non-violent protesters so that others would get the message.

Newly unearthed reports contradict previous claims made by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about his travel to China, including a claim that the Democratic vice presidential nominee traveled to China for a teaching position in 1989 during the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests... Walz had previously said he visited Hong Kong in “May of ’89,” weeks before the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. ... But contemporaneous newspaper reports first resurfaced by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news outlet, place Walz in Nebraska around that time. An issue of the Alliance Times-Herald dated May 16, 1989, features a photo of Walz touring...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) “has had an interesting relationship with China.” And said that he expects Walz’s GOP counterpart, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), to go after both that and the Biden-Harris administration’s policies on the Middle East during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. Columnist, CNN Senior Political Commentator, and former Bush official Scott Jennings stated that the Biden-Harris stance towards Iran has been ineffective and they’re trying to get Israel to hold back.

A whistleblower revealed information on Tim Walz’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas for information on a long-standing connection between the CCP and Tim Walz. “According to recently received whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees and additional intelligence reports that contain information regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,” the Oversight Committee announced on Monday. “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, we’ve learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled “NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync”—that...

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has subpoenaed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about unspecified allegations of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connections against Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. In a letter accompanying the subpoena released on Thursday, Comer said the House Oversight and Accountability Committee received information from a whistleblower about “serious concern among Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel regarding a longstanding connection between” Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The letter was issued just one day before Walz is set to debate Trump vice-presidential pick JD Vance in the televised debate on Tuesday. Per the Hill: Specifically, Comer...

Kamala Harris’s stolen valor running mate got slammed for a tone-deaf fundraising tweet amid deadly flooding from Hurricane Helene. More than 1,000 people are unaccounted for after Hurricane Helene made its way through Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas this weekend. At least 100 people have perished. Flooding caused by Hurricane Helene has destroyed Asheville, North Carolina. Powerful flooding from Hurricane Helene collapsed the Kisner Bridge in Afton, Tennessee. Tim Walz fired off a tone-deaf tweet as Americans perished. “All gas, no brakes. We’ll sleep when we’re dead,” Tim Walz said amid loss of life from catastrophic flooding. “Let’s make...

Tim Walz has made no secret about his love of China. He praised it as a place where 'everyone shares' and socialism as 'neighborliness' (instead of the genocidal, oppressive ideology it really is). When Kamala Harris picked him as her VP, he became a sensation in China social media. Walz himself used to say he went to China 30 times. But that must not be polling well: Minnesota Public Radio reports Tim Walz has not visited China 30 times, as he has repeatedly claimed. Harris-Walz campaign now admits actual number is 'closer to 15.' MPR says Walz was 'so proud'...

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...
