Democrat vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz’s political journey is rooted in his involvement with a progressive training camp inspired by the radical vision of Paul Wellstone, a professor-turned-politician with close ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and strong influences from Marxist figures and extreme far-left ideologies. Before entering politics, Tim Walz was known as a high school teacher and football coach in Mankato, Minnesota — an outsider who embraced a humble, folksy image.

Eighteen-year-old Abbey proudly walked onto the campus of New York City's Barnard College for women in the fall of 2018, wearing a hot little mini-dress from Forever 21 and a pair of saucy wedges. She wanted to dress to impress. She was no longer in Brookfield, Ohio. This is the Big Apple. She was beautiful, and she felt it. Her long blonde hair was pulled into a bun to make her look sophisticated and intelligent. It was her first day of college and, for her, her first day as an adult. Also, her name was no longer Abbey. That's too...

When then-President Obama awarded California labor leader Dolores Huerta the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — one person was notably absent from the ceremony in the White House’s East Room: Julie Chavez Rodriguez. Huerta has known Chavez Rodriguez, the granddaughter of the legendary Cesar Chavez, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union with Huerta, since she was an infant. Chavez Rodriguez was working in the Obama administration at the time, but those who know her said her absence from the ceremony was not the least bit surprising. “I couldn’t find Julie because she was busy...

While Kammy goes commie, The Times airs out the dirty laundry A funny thing happened after Joe Biden was fired Kamala (Marxist) and Walz (Marxist) were selected by Barack Obama (Marxist) to head the "Democratic Party" ticket after Obama gave the President of the United States six months to clean out his desk. There was no election. What's "democratic" about that? That's a coup! Joe Biden was overthrown. It's as simple as that. It was finally over. Joe Biden couldn't hold out any longer. He signed and submitted a "stand down" letter and quit the race on July 21, 2024....

WASHINGTON — A mad scramble is underway to introduce Vice President Kamala Harris to Americans who know little about her, with both campaigns vying to leave a vivid impression that sinks in before voters start casting ballots this fall. In the 11-week sprint to the election, Harris’ campaign is pouring tens of millions of dollars into an ad blitz meant to humanize a candidate whom the electorate may know only as the understudy to Joe Biden. As Democrats assemble in Chicago, Harris’ challenge is to persuade voters that the story she’s telling about her life and vision rings true, and...

BREAKING: Kamala Harris selects Tim Walz to be her running mate

PHILADELPHIA – Donald Trump’s backers say they sighed a sigh of relief over Vice President Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, pointing to his “radical” record and non-swing-state origins. The Trump campaign, in its first statement on Walz, painted the governor Tuesday as being as “leftist” as Harris and claimed he has been trying to make Minnesota a liberal den akin to California, where Harris is from. “It’s no surprise that San Francisco Liberal Kamala Harris wants West Coast wannabe Tim Walz as her running-mate – Walz has spent his governorship trying to reshape Minnesota...

Democratic presidential primary front-runner Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) recently told reporters at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that she is “not a Democratic Socialist.” The next question should have been obvious: “Well, then, what kind of socialist are you?” Harris has been surrounded by socialists and communists her entire life—beginning with her staunchly Marxist father. Harris is the older child of two 1960’s Berkeley radicals: Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, and Donald J. Harris, an economist from Jamaica. Gopalan and Donald Harris were very active during the civil rights and...

Jean-Pierre actively participated in the New York-based Haiti Support Network. The organization worked closely with the Communist World Workers’ Party of North Korea/pro-communist China and supported...

Vice President Kamala Harris, seeking the Democrat nomination for president, recently lobbied to eliminate gas-powered cars by 2035 — transitioning fully to electric vehicles (EVs) — despite the impact on millions of American auto jobs.

The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from western Pennsylvania, as the person who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Crooks reportedly shot Trump from a rooftop perch some 130 yards away during a rally in the small town, striking the upper part of Trump’s right ear while the former president was speaking to rallygoers ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Melinda French Gates, billionaire and ex-wife of tech giant Bill Gates, has pledged $200 million to a number of pro-abortion organisations, at least five of which explicitly spend money funding abortions or lobbying Governments to repeal legislation that protects the unborn from abortion, making her one of the biggest individual donors to pro-abortion organisations in the world.
