The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago is shaping up to be a clash of epic proportions as potentially tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators are set to descend on the city to protest the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas War.
The Minnesota governor’s ‘aw shucks’ demeanor can’t hide the fact that he abandoned his city to fire and riots and walked out on his battalion when leadership was most needed.
Whether it’s his military service or his tenure as a “head coach,” there are a lot of questions when it comes to Tim Walz’s record. I suspect more about the governor will be revealed in the coming days.
However, there is one thing Americans should know for certain: Walz is a radical leftist posing as a Midwestern moderate. Don’t be fooled. Whether it’s his soft-on-crime policies or his reckless Covid measures, it’s not hard to see why Bernie Sanders endorsed him for vice president.
Biden and Harris are merely spokespeople, not the product itself.
Over more than three years, Democrats couldn’t sell Joe Biden; now, they must sell Kamala Harris in just under three months. This tall order requires two things: convincing voters that this administration deserves four more years and that Harris is truly different from Biden. Democrats’ continued marketing strategy of hiding their candidate tells Americans that neither is true.
On paper, selling Joe Biden should have been easy. Joe had a long Senate resume. He also had two terms as vice president behind Democrats’ most popular living president. Facing him was a divisive incumbent hobbled by a pandemic, an economy slowed by lockdowns, and civil unrest.
Kamela Harris is the star in the 2024 sequel of this 1979 classic movie.
I’ve found it fascinating that in both national polling as well as social media posts from actual friends of mine who are staunchly liberal, Kackles Harris (and Tampon Tim) enjoy a popularity that is incredibly puzzling to rational, thinking adults (aka conservatives), even though this pair have yet to say or post anything firm and substantial in policy but only to copycat Trump on the idea of eliminating taxes on tips.
A significant new Media Research Center poll finds that large majorities of registered Democrats and Independents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 — exactly those who would be expected to support Vice President Kamala Harris in this year’s contest — are mostly in the dark about many of the controversial and radical positions Harris has taken.

The Mullahs create pro-Kamala site, hack Trump accounts, leak materials to media.
With headlines like “Harris Surges Ahead: A New Era of Democratic Enthusiasm and Opportunity” and “Former Friend Exposes JD Vance’s Radical Transformation: A Study in Political Opportunism”, you might mistake NioThinker for another mainstream media outlet.
Only the occasional odd word choice and convoluted bit of grammar hints that the digital media site flowing with enthusiasm for Kamala and contempt for Trump isn’t really American.
In a recent appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump caused a furore by questioning the racial “identity” of Democrat Kamala Harris. “Is she Indian or is she black?” Trump wondered. “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she became a black person.”
Lost in the days of press attacks that followed was the fact that both Trump and his critics were stuck in an outdated American electoral calculus of identity politics grounded in race. In fact, the key to a Harris win in November won’t be the support of black Americans or Indian Americans or even “brown Americans” — though she has identified at various points in her political life as all three. Rather, Harris is a flesh-and-blood avatar of a much more numerous, powerful, and radically dissatisfied demographic: never-married and childless American women between the ages of 20 and 45.
The Democratic nominee was mocked for a simple take on Russia’s invasion, but her uneasy relationship with Zelensky could be a bigger issue
“Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically that’s wrong.”
Kamala Harris’s painfully obvious description of the war in Ukraine went viral after she was anointed Democratic presidential nominee when US president Joe Biden dropped out last month. Her defenders pointed out that she had been asked by the Morning Hustle radio show to “break [Ukraine] down in layman’s terms”, shortly after Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion in 2022.
The Biden-Harris administration has temporarily paused a key immigration program after revelations of widespread fraud in parole applications, sparking significant concerns over the vetting process.

Under Tim Walz, Minnesota has become the test run for the war on Middle America.
As the Kamala Harris campaign unveiled their vice-presidential pick last week, conservatives could hardly contain their glee. The man of the hour, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, was a radical, they reasoned. The 2020 George Floyd riots began in his backyard. He championed every toxic left-wing cultural position available, from sex changes for minors to late-term abortion.
And — as the ensuing opposition-research feeding frenzy would soon come to reveal — he routinely misrepresented his military service overseas (or in this case, his lack thereof), up to the point of plausibly having committed stolen valor. “Republicans Are ‘Thrilled’ Tim Walz Is the VP Pick,” blared a New York Magazine headline. Among Republican insiders, the piece reported, “the response to Kamala Harris’s choice of Tim Walz as vice-president was one of overwhelming joy.”
“Kamala Harris is now the presidential frontrunner,” my Townhall colleague Guy Benson warned on Monday, and “though many caveats apply,” I’m here to tell you how we win.
The Harris we used to know was so beatable that her 2020 bid for the Democrat presidential nomination didn’t even make it to 2020. She ended her hapless and unloved campaign towards the end of 2019, weeks before the Iowa caucuses.
Just like Hillary was the frontrunner.
The stealing class has figured out that it’s a working-class election.
You can tell by what they pilfer.
By “stealing class,” I mean the Harris-Walz campaign in particular, and the party of big government in general.
They exist, and flourish, not by creating new wealth and ideas, but by stealing the produce of others.

Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s brand-new VP pick, is a fanatical far-left lunatic wearing the friendly armor of hapless, bloated oaf from the sticks.
He’s America’s Dad. A patriotic National Guardsman. The hokey, folksy, small town hick made good. He’s not weird—he’s totally normal. He’s the inspiring Friday Night Lights football coach to a ragtag gang of kids. The beloved longtime social studies teacher. Just a regular guy. Why, shucks—Tim Walz is just plain as American as apple pie!

A former battalion commander of Tim Walz’s National Guard unit is the latest to attack the vice presidential nominee for stolen valor, saying it’s an “affront” for him to claim a title he did not earn — and accusing him of running when service got too tough.
John Kolb, who became lieutenant colonel of the Minnesota unit a few months after Walz quit to run for Congress, joined the attacks soon after Vice President Kamala Harris admitted her running mate “misspoke” about retiring as a command sergeant major.
