.@JDVance: “You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz?… When the United States of America asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it… When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq… he dropped out.”

“There were reasons not to pick J. D. Vance, but he’s inarguably a good spokesman for the ticket, and he’s shown it the last couple of days.”

“This is no small point, because Walz has repeatedly run on his claim that he was the “highest ranking service member” in Congress, pointing out his temporary, provisional promotion to Command Master Sergeant.
“After he deserted his unit, he was demoted to Master Sergeant — a much more common rank.
“No one is reporting this yet, but I think it’s a fair speculation that he was only given the promotion to Command Master Soldier was in anticipation of leading his unit in the Iraq War. As he bugged out as soon as he was informed his unit was going to Iraq, he obviously did not earn this rank.”

Um, yes there is.
There’s this little thing called the First Amendment.

“In herdlike fashion, the media describe Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “folksy,” suggesting that he is just a regular guy with whom Middle America can identify easily. Supporters on social media liken the Democrat to a cool grandpa.
“Judging from his education policies, however, Walz would be like your folksy grandpa only if you are descended from radical critical race and gender theorists.
“Walz may look like a regular guy, with a bit of a belly and thinning grey hair, but his policy record is so extreme as to place him outside the mainstream of American politics.”

“When it comes to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, a majority of Americans said they were not sure of him or viewed him as a bad pick or the worst possible pick, a YouGov poll released Wednesday showed.
“The survey of 3,003 adults taken Tuesday showed that 35% of registered voters said they weren’t sure whether Walz was a good or bad pick and 17% said he was a bad pick or the worst possible pick. Just 35% said it was a good pick or the best possible pick, and 14% said he was neither good nor bad.”

(From Ed: Couldn’t resist tossing this one in. Still my all-time favorite ad. And no, we’re not getting any money from it, more’s the pity.)

“It gets even worse. Data from the Minnesota Department of Health indicate that since Governor Walz was inaugurated in 2019, eight babies survived abortion attempts in Minnesota. On five occasions, no measures were taken to preserve life. On three occasions, only comfort care was provided. Tragically, all of these babies died. Instead of strengthening protections for these children, SF 2995 repealed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which was intended to provide legal protection for infants who survived abortions.”

From Ed: That’s more Minnesota Ice than Minnesota Nice. And it’s the polar opposite of the Al & Tipper Makeout Session, for those who recall it.

LOL @JDVance just mocked Tim Walz for giving his own wife a handshake on stage last night 😂😂😂
