TIM WALZ IS GOING TO MAKE AMERICA ON EARTH!
Trump comparing Walz to Bernie Sanders could backfire

Yam s has made way too many mistakes, i.e., first he has the My Pillow guy as part of his brain trust and then selects the My Couch guy as his running mate, that have backfired on him
link"I know Gov. Walz is on the phone, and we spoke, and I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days," Trump told a group of governors on June 1, 2020, according to a recording of the call, in which he also called Walz an "excellent guy."
"I was very happy with the last couple of days, Tim," Trump continued. "You called up big numbers and the big numbers knocked them out so fast it was like bowling pins."
Do you think you got a W because Trump called that fool an "excellent guy"?
Don't watch the Adin Ross interview or you might get up in arms over Trump's remarks about AOC.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s military biography is being disputed by the state’s National Guard, which claims the Democrat vice presidential nominee did not hold the rank of command sergeant major at the time of his retirement, Newsweek reported Wednesday.
Walz’s official gubernatorial biography on the Minnesota’s official website states, “Command Sergeant Major Walz retired from the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion in 2005.” But Army Lt. Col. Army Kristen Augé, the state public affairs officer for the Minnesota National Guard, said Wednesday the governor retired as a master sergeant "because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy," Newsweek reported.
A soldier who does not complete the requisite coursework is automatically demoted, according to Army regulations.
Walz’s pick as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate has reignited a controversy surrounding his military service that began during his initial run for governor in 2018, when Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr, two retired command sergeant majors in the Minnesota National Guard, criticized Walz for retiring shortly before his battalion was set for a deployment to Iraq.
According to the letter Behrends and Herr posted on Facebook, Walz, who served in the National Guard for 24 years, was selected in 2004 to serve as command sergeant major of the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and by September of that year, Walz was conditionally promoted to the rank. But by early 2005, Walz's battalion was ordered to mobilize for an active-duty deployment to Iraq.
Shortly after, in May 2005, Walz "quit, leaving the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and its Soldiers hanging; without its senior non-commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war," according to the letter.
"When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle – not the other way,” Behrends told the New York Post on Tuesday. “He ran away. It’s sad. "He had the opportunity to serve his country and said ‘Screw you’ to the United States. That’s not who I would pick to run for vice president."
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate on the Republican ticket who served four years in the Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq, said Wednesday in Michigan that Walz abandoned his unit before it was deployed to Iraq.
“When the United State Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it,” Vance said, according to CNN. “I did what they asked me to do, and I did it honorably and I’m very proud of that service. When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did? He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him.”
Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Mich., who earned the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps, told Newsmax on Wednesday he plans to investigate whether Walz has been honest about his service in the National Guard. Bergman is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Military Personnel Subcommittee.
"I'm a Marine and you either go to the sound of the guns or you run from the sound of the guns," Bergman said. "My staff is doing a deep dive into all the details of Walz's service to make sure that the portrait that's being presented of his service is accurate. And the point is, if you sign up in the military to not go to the sound of the guns, you probably shouldn't have signed up in the first place."
Walz retired two months before the order to deploy
Charlie Langton, Fox 2, Detroit: What makes you smile, what makes you happy?
JD Vance: I'm a happy guy.
(spends a minute and a half talking about things that make him angry, doesn't mention one thing that makes him smile.)

"Home, family, community, friends, church, democracy, dogs, fishing, the beautiful weather in Wisconsin"
that question was a meatball, JD Vance just treated it like a brushback pitch.

Damn, the dude is flat broke at 60Financial disclosures show Tim Walz barely has any assets to his name. No stocks, bonds, or even property to call his own. Together with his wife, Gwen, his net worth is $330,000, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal citing financial disclosures from 2019, the year after he became Minnesota governor.
With that kind of meager nest egg, he would be more or less in line with the median figure for Americans his age (he's 60), and even poorer than the average. One in 15 Americans is a millionaire, a recent UBS wealth report discovered.
Meanwhile, the gross annual income of Walz and his wife, Gwen, amounted to $166,719 before tax in 2022, according to their joint return filed that same year. Walz is even en led to earn more than the $127,629 salary he receives as state governor, but he has elected not to receive the roughly $22,000 difference.
Does that include public pensions?

Dobbs was an electoral own goal, Rs explicitly supporting it isn't very smart

This man watched a movie where nativist whites are first portrayed as villains, then revealed to be the patsies of moneyed interests who use them to violently keep immigrant communities in their place and not disrupt the social order, and he came away with "see? immigrant crime."
