Saturday was a study in contrasts as both campaigns had people out at college football games. Former President Donald Trump was cheered wildly at the Alabama-Georgia showdown. He had great fun with the people chanting "USA," and on top of all that, Kamala Harris failed miserably with her effort to troll him. The media had given a lot of coverage to the claim that she was going to have a plane fly over the stadium with a banner saying "Trump Punting the 2nd Debate"—but it never happened. The Harris campaign blamed the weather. But whatever the reason, it failed miserably....

According to aides that spoke to CNN, Tim Walz is having a hard time keeping his nerves under control for Tuesday's debate with JD Vance. Aides say Walz has expressed a lack of confidence in his ability to go up against a "trained lawyer-type" like Vance. Walz is also feeling pressure that a bad performance will disappoint Kamala Harris who has already privately expressed frustrations with Walz's awkwardness and blunders on the campaign trail, such as referring to her as a "prostitutor." Gwen Walz is angry that her husband is being put through the humiliation of debating Vance. The joy...

Tim Walz is 'nervous' about facing J.D. Vance in next week's vice presidential debate as he hunkers down this weekend to prepare for Tuesday's showdown. The Democratic presidential nominee has fretted to friends he's worried he will let Kamala Harris down, people close to him told CNN. Adding to the pressure is the fact that the debate is likely to be the last marquee showdown between the two presidential tickets before the November 5th election. Harris has accepted CNN's offer for another presidential debate but Donald Trump has not.

Law Enforcement Today recently uncovered a potentially alarming connection between the current Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party. In an exclusive shared by Alpha News, it is reported that a classified nuclear manual went missing during his tenure in the Nebraska National Guard, raising serious concerns about national security and questions about where his loyalty lies. The story goes back to September 1995, when Walz’s unit, the 1-168th Field Artillery, upgraded to M109A5 self-propelled howitzers. One of its capabilities was the ability to fire nuclear artillery shells. A former colleague who served...

During Tuesday night’s debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump called out Tim Walz’s extremely radical and, frankly, diabolical abortion stance as governor of Minnesota, but for PBS’s Christiane Amanpour, the fact that Trump even brought it up made him “very, very extreme,” while her panel labeled it "extraordinarily stupid." Amanpour styles herself as a journalist, but when abortion comes up for discussion, she becomes a full-on activist, “So, women were front and center. That as, an issue, was, you know, really something very important. The idea that women in America have now been denied their rights over their own bodies,...

Everyone knows the left can't meme, but watching them attempt to troll the right is just as entertaining in person. Here's the setup: A couple of weeks ago, vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance walked into a donut shop and ordered donuts. The left-leaning media had a field day because things became awkward when the donut lady expressed hostility about being on camera. The encounter ended with Vance saying, 'Give me some glaze, sprinkle-themed stuff, some of these cinnamon rolls … yeah, whatever makes sense.' View on X"Who orders donuts like that?" the Left screamed. Two weeks later, Vance's opponent Tim...

The House Education and Workforce Committee subpoenaed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday for records related to a $250 million COVID-19 relief fraud scheme that occurred on his watch.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) mistakenly referred to Democrat vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “Tom” twice during a Labor Day event.

They...

Lyin' Tim Walz Wants To Be Your Neighbor CHICAGO—After listening to Wednesday night's keynote speaker, vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, an MSNBC reporter observed that the Minnesota governor and his family were "so remarkably normal after what we've been through the last four years." It wasn't entirely clear if the comment was intended as a dig at the dysfunctional Biden family, or if Democrats have spent so much time this week vowing to "turn the page" and embrace the future that their supporters have simply forgotten they still control the White House. (RIP, Sleepy Joe.)

At least seven times today in the show's opening minutes, CNN This Morning ran the clip from last night's DNC of Tim Walz's son Gus getting emotional and pointing to his father as he spoke: "That's my dad!"

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.

And Tim Walz is done for now that one of his dangerous policies has been exposed.

A staggering 80% of the state’s COVID-related deaths occurred among residents of long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living centers. Critics have sharply condemned a policy, similar to those adopted in other states, that allowed patients with COVID-19 to be...
