Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate, a choice that left many pundits puzzled. For the real deal on Walz, consider Powerline’s John Hinderaker, a Minnesotan quite familiar with Kamala’s VP choice:
“I think it was a process of elimination,” writes Hinderaker, “Mark Kelly seemed like a strong candidate, until it came out that he invested in a spy satellite company with the Chinese.” Harris wanted Josh Shapiro, “but at the eleventh hour, helped by an essay Shapiro wrote when he was in college, the anti-Semites blocked him.” That left Tim Walz, “a small-minded, mean-spirited man,” who will fit well with the Harris ticket.
“He ran a basement campaign for re-election in 2022,” Hinderaker recalls, “refusing to show up for debates with Republican Scott Jensen after the first one went badly. So Jensen was left debating an empty chair.” Walz was also “largely responsible for the George Floyd riots that devastated Minneapolis and other cities, because he dithered for days rather than calling out the National Guard. By his own admission, he held off out of sympathy for the rioters’ cause. We are still living with the consequences.”
On Walz’s watch, Hinderaker notes, “Minnesota became a high-crime state for the first time ever.” Before Harris picked Walz, Powerline’s Scott Johnson, also a Minnesotan, wrote a Free Beacon piece headlined “Take My Governor – Please.”
After Biden’s debate with Trump, Walz was one of those contending that demented Joe was still “fit for office.” As Johnson explains, “Walz knew he was lying. Walz knew we knew he was lying. He casts the pale shadow of a man incapable of embarrassment and presents as an example of life imitating art, in this case the advertising art that created Joe Isuzu.”
During the pandemic, Walz “exercised dictatorial powers” from March 25, 2020 to July 1, 2021. On Walz’s watch, “the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) oversaw the payout of some $250 million to reimburse mythical meals served around the state. The nature and scale of the fraud are staggering.”
As Johnson recalls, following the death of George Floyd, “Walz fiddled while Minnesota’s Third Precinct police station burned,” failing to call out the National Guard in swift fashion. Still, Harris’ running mate shows another side.
Since reelection in 2022, Walz has “established Minnesota as a mecca for abortion and a home for “trans refuge.” Minnesota “prohibits enforcing of out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests” and “bars complying with court orders elsewhere to remove children from their parents’ custody for getting gender affirming care.” These issues invite comparisons with California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Powerline’s Steven Hayward (Age of Reagan, The Real Jimmy Carter), a Californian, was ready for the call.
“I suspect Walz would come out worse than Newsom,” writes Hayward, noting that the selection “indicates a couple significant things about Harris.” The choice of Walz did not leak out until Tuesday, so “Harris didn’t make up her mind until yesterday. She’s indecisive.” The Walz pick “suggests the progressive anti-Semitic left successfully intimidated Harris out of picking Josh Shapiro. So she’s weak, too.”
As Hayward contends, Shapiro “could have helped Harris nail down the all-important state of Pennsylvania, and represented for Harris a ‘Sister Souljah’ moment of repudiation to the progressive left that the newly ‘centrist’ Harris badly needs.” Shapiro and Mark Kelly would have added “the veneer of ideological diversity” to the ticket, but “instead she has doubled down on progressivism.” From a Republican perspective, the only pick worse than Walz would have been Pete Buttigieg, so Hayward wonders if Harris could be “Walzing to defeat.”
For a summary of Harris’ issues, see “The Keys to Kamala” – which reveals Harris’ touting of her supposed support for working people. Like Joe Biden, Harris is a supporter of the most anti-worker legislation in recent memory, California’s Assembly Bill Five, a virtual declaration against the independence of workers. It’s also worth recalling that Harris owes her start in politics to poontronage from Democrat queenmaker Willie Brown, who set up his main squeeze in lucrative sinecures.
In 2010, Harris was so lightly regarded that the Democrat-friendly Sacramento Bee endorsed her Republican opponent Steve Cooley for attorney general. Cooley was far ahead on election night but three weeks of ballot harvesting put Harris over the line by less than one percent. To adopt a recent phrase of Donald Trump, maybe Kamala Harris is the one who is “not supposed to be here.”
Harris’s choice of Tim Walz, meanwhile, should not distract from husband Doug Emhoff. Back in the 1992 Democrat primaries, California governor Jerry Brown accused Arkansas governor Bill Clinton of “funneling money to his wife’s law firm for state business.” Despite Imhoff’s past dalliance, the interns are probably safe, but would a President Harris use her office to funnel money to her husband’s legal cronies, representing clients not exactly friendly to the United States? That is hardly the only possibility.
During the 1992 campaign, Bill Clinton touted wife Hillary, telling voters: “you get two for the price of one.” In 2020, it was the “Biden-Harris administration.” Maybe this campaign portends the “Harris-Emhoff administration” and all that would entail. As Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
Ron Kelmell says
This has to be the clearest choice I’ve seen in forever. The word salad chef that says nothing but cliche claptrap that means anything the hearer wants it to mean in this corner and the brash big shot with a great business building record in the other corner.
One pushes for no borders, after birth abortion, BLM (defund the police), over priced EVs, socialism on steroids, alphabets reading porn to children, WOKE-DEI cultural leukemia all supported by those unable to live responsible, self reliant lives. In the other corner a renewal of the work ethic, personal accountability, and American exceptionalism.
America is about to get what it deserves when she makes her choice.
Steve Chavez says
KAMALA was The Dumb in Dumb and Dumber and she had to pick someone Dumber than she is… imagine that!
TruthLaser says
The words of the day as a result of naming Walz as the veep candidate is “Midwestern” and “middle of the road.” The Harris-Walz ticket is middle of the road if San Francisco and St. Paul are twin cities. A better description is middle of the road kill.
sumsrent says
Walz… the satanic islam lover…
Everyone pay attention… watch how satanic islam slowly creeps into everything…
Creeping Sharia… slithering down the street… like the snake it is…
Intrepid says
Not paranoid at all, are you. I am more concerned about you creeping and slithering into everything.
After all, in your world who isn’t a “satanic islam lover”
sumsrent says
Gov Tim Walz says…
“Hate and Islamophobia have no place in Minnesota. When our Muslim communities thrive, Minnesota thrives.”
In other words… Minnesota is a satanic islamic state…
And no doubt Walz is a member of your satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church… which teaches how YOU worship the fake god allah while promoting homosexuals as pastors in your fake church…
Word is… Walz was selected by Kamala… so they could get the muslim vote across America… <<< Since when has the muslim vote been considered?
Is the fake god allah your god? Intrepid? <<< Of course it is… YOUR satanic church says allah is your god…
Intrepid says
Amazing you know so much that isn’t so, Just like your buddy THX.
Your fantasies are driving you insane.
sumsrent says
You’re welcome to try to refute anything I say…
But… you never do… because you can’t…
Tim Walz is one messed up individual… with satanic motives…
Which stems from YOUR satanic ELCA Lutheran fake church… which Tim Walz is a member of…
Your satanic fake Lutheran church teaches allah is your god… and approves of homosexual Pastors… <<< That's messed up… just like you are Intrepid…
Intrepid says
I never try to refute insanity. But you go ahead and make up anything you want.
How are the nurses treating you? Plenty of adderall?
THX 1138 says
This all points to the Democrats being sure they can steal the election one way or another.
This all points to the Democrats being sure they can destroy President Trump one way or another.
This all points to the Democrats eagerly welcoming a civil war because they are certain they can call for Martial law and Martial law will do nothing but help them grow their dictatorship. The Democrats are certain they can do to all Americans who fight them what they are doing to the January 6 patriots right now.
The Democrats are telling all freedom loving Americans, in your face, we don’t care, we are totalitarians, we mean to enslave you, and there’s nothing you’re gona be able to do about it.
The Democrats have taken their masks off, have stopped all pretenses, and are going for the death blow to America because they are certain they can get away with it.
Intrepid says
So what are you going to do about it, Mr. Tough Guy.
THX 1138 says
Well, well, Thom, aren’t you the lucky one today.
You get to exhibit your charming personality and winsome vitriol not only on me but on sumsrent all in one article.
It must be the unbearable Arizona heat and scorpion infestations that make you such a sweetheart.
Intrepid says
Well, as I predicted, you were too lazy to get on that plane, or you don’t have enough money to come to my state and be an irritant at my church. Maybe you can ask Goska for some money. If you behave as rudely as you do on this comment board, disrupting the service, you would get several “fingers laid on you”. In fact it would be more than fingers.
You would be thrown out and probably roughed up a bit, and handed over to the cops for trespassing. We have a very good relationship with them. And for added fun, this is a concealed carry state. Lotsa guns everywhere. It’s not NYC where you are sitting ducks.
Obviously you should keep that fat mouth of yours shut and not make threats you can’t keep.
Your biggest problem is you don’t know when to shut up. You aren’t clever or smart. You are simply a crashing Objectivist bore. Repeating the works of the ugly little woman and her chief suck-up doesn’t make them true.
Call me whatever you want, tough guy. Joe, Bob, Bobbyjoe. No one cares. You can always smirk to yourself in your walkup.
In the meantime I will just keep doing what I do. Because I know it irritates you…..all those downvotes. Did you call Lutheran Social Services? Probably not. I’m not surprised. They would think you are nuts as well if you introduced yourself as THX-1138. Maybe they would refer you to psychiatrist.
As for sumsrent, he is as big a moron as you. And yeah I do love messing with him because, like you, he takes himself of so seriously
For a man that don’t go heeled, you run your mouth kinda reckless, don’t ya? No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.
Intrepid says
Better than the NYC rat infestations.
Cal from Canada says
You are a very nasy individual. And to think they actually named a car after you.
Intrepid says
I don’t make the rules. I just respond to the stupidity.
Keith Reese says
Yep..I remember the old days when they told us they were moderate, but governed on the left. Not anymore….
Rob A says
The dems are confident that Americans are going to do anything of any real consequence to stop them. We’re too “law abiding” to do anything. That is to say Americans are to soft and will not physically oppose them if the left imposes their.
Unfortunately most Americans are under the false illusion that the Marxists can be voted out. They can’t and they won’t. Josef Stalin once said that the people who vote decide nothing. It’s the people who count the votes who decide everything. A simple concept that is lost on most Americans.
America is steadily being subsumed to the Marxists without a shot being fired. Our founders warned us that something like this could happen. Did we listen?
My theory of why is quite simple: hedonism has supplanted vigilance. As a consequence, America is adrift on a sea of moral turpitude and the Marxists are taking advantage of it.
The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote an essay circa 1993 titled: “Defining Deviancy Down” that pretty much explains America today. The consequences of which we are just beginning to incur

Steve says
In the 1930s, Minnesota was notoriously antisemitic and Minneapolis was considered (along with Detroit) as being the most antisemitic city in America. It was bad that the local AAA automobile club and service organizations like
Kiwanis and the Rotary Club barred Jews from membership. Both cities were stomping grounds for Nazi lover Charles Lindbergh, whose father was a Congressman from Minnesota. Back then, antisemitie touted “Nordic” supremacy. Now they push DEI and “Palestine” and are represented by Kamala Harris, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Tim Walz.
THX 1138 says
The ironic thing is that the Nordic-Scandinavian countries contributed NOTHING to Western civilization. Sweden, Norway, and Finland were backwater swamps up until the 19th century.
The paradigm-shift discoveries, inventions, and innovations that produced Western civilization come from the swarthy ancient Greeks and the swarthy Romans.
When Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Euclid, Cicero, Seneca, were roaming the earth, what would eventually become the Germans, were literally tribal BARBARIANS.
Intrepid says
Maybe you should move to Greece, since you seem to have an endless woody for dead Greek philosophers who liked little boys.
Greek philosophy, your foundation and bedrock of the rational and scientific beginnings and aspects of Western Civilization, folded like a cheap suit in the face of the spread of Christianity, which absorbed the teachings of your pagan heroes. Without Christianity Greek history would resemble those ruins that everyone takes selfies at. Without Christianity no one would remember or care about the Greeks or their fragile fa**ot democracy.
I wonder, where are the great works of music and art based on the teaching of Ayn Rand? Without Christianity there would no “Messiah” by Handel, no Passion Oratorios by Bach, no Mass settings by Palestrina, Tallis, Byrd and hundreds of other Renaissance and Medieval composers. It would be a pretty empty world bereft of art and music. Except for Rand’s tiddlywink music.
Rob A says
And moreover, Germany didn’t become a country until circa 1871.
Rob A says
My friend, you candor and objectivity is welcomed and much appreciated.

I ALWAYS want to know if Democrats were in SIXTIES-EIGHTIES Communist Party USA front groups connected to their U.S. Peace Council since the World Peace Council was run by the SOVIET KGB. I already traced Obama, and the people he surrounded himself with, and appointed to head departments that then CONSPIRED in a coup-attempt against a Sitting President and now, that former President! John Brennan as CIA head? No FBI background check on this obvious traitor??? His job was to conduct operations against our enemies, the Communists and Muslims, but him being both, like Obama, they were both aiding and abetting their Communist Comrades and Muslim Brothers. Look at the rise of both today and our decline! Obama’s Mission Accomplished!
WHAT IS WALZ’S PAST? Yes, forty years ago, but this was a time of massive CPUSA/KGB recruitment and brainwashing with all of them being USEFUL IDIOTS AND TRAITORS, and like CULTS, they are not easily broken.
WATZ praised the BLM riots even while his own city was burning to the ground. Those protests, including today’s Pro-Hamas rallies, are sponsored and organized by members of CPUSA FRONTS who eventually started their own Communist groups like A.N.S.W.E.R., The Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Revolutionary Communist Party, and The Democratic Socialists of America. They, in turn, order their leading members to start their own group. Example: Ten Members start their own… now ten groups and then they sign up for each other’s group. Looks great on the protest Flyer. SO, WALZ AND KAMALA, AND 99.9999% OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPPORTED COMMUNIST FRONTS WHO ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY! Those same groups are now organizing again at universities ready to begin when classes start. The Democrat-led administrations will let them, but act like they are taking action. JEWISH STUDENTS NEED TO DEMAND ACTION FROM THE DEI CZAR! (Here at UNM, DEI czar Assata Zerai, a black radical, make $270,000 and has four aides… FOR WHAT? To protect Blacks like she ranted about in a long rant in support of BLM when her job description is ALL STUDENTS MATTER!)
Capitalist-Dad says
So in conclusion being Democrat is not merely a “political difference,” but staunchly anti-American, malevolent, traitorous, and despotic. Democrats reject every aspect of our founding, detest the Bill of Rights, and detest government by the people. In short, they are American only in the narrowest sense of geographic location.
Brian Martin says
Guilty by association. Ignorance is no excuse to the obvious truth in front of us.
Snowfrog says
The Republicans just received the greatest gift of 2024. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are now the two biggest losers out of the pool of the progressives. No substance or excitement but all the boredom imaginable.
There are two questions remaining: will they repeat 2020 and steal the election? Are there enough empty headed people that would actually vote for them?
The uninformed will act as if they are the saviors of America and act as if these two clowns are the best the nation has to offer. With the media in their pocket they will gain momentum among the progressive automatons who are party first, America second types.
Sit back and watch closely because the show is about to get very interesting.
Domenic Pepe says
Just think ….
The democrat party, the party of John F. Kennedy, a Catholic elected president of the USA in 1960,
that democrat party is now an anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish anti-Israel,
pro- depraved psychopathic murderous berserk violent, freedom crushing party in America.
JFK is now rolling in his grave.
For Kamala Harris and Walz to be leading the democrat party is a farce that goes beyond the bounds of American decency and righteousness and prosperity and opportunity, and the historical legacy of the USA and its people.
Literally, the democrat party of America has gone full berserk, depraved, and criminal.
The November 2024 election must completley crush the present woke leftist DEI BLM LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ democrat party in order to make it live once again as a decent American political party that really cares for America and its working and middle class citizens.
THX 1138 says
John F. Kennedy was “elected” president the way Joe Biden was “elected” president.
Poppa and Robert Kennedy STOLE the 1960 election with the help of the Italian mob.
They didn’t tell John Kennedy because in case they got caught they didn’t want his career totally destroyed.
They did get caught, the FBI brought the evidence to Richard Nixon, but the coward refused to bring the Kennedys to court.
And so we got Vietnam and communist Cuba, which led to communist Nicaragua and now communist Venezuela.
Intrepid says
What an imagination. Your fantasy version of history is astounding. It always seems to fit your inane rantings. you know so much that isn’t so. History for those with a short attention span.
Cuba was Eisenhower’s show. Kennedy didn’t want it. It got him killed. It was Johnson who expanded the Viet Nam War. Nixon ended it and his reward was being set up by the CIA for Watergate. Nicaragua was a Carter project that ended up in Reagans’ lap. Venezuela happened on Obama’s watch. Now I know you are desperate to blame Republicans for everything, but as I say, you know so much that isn’t so.
Try reading a history book not written by an Objectivist fraud now and then.
Domenic Pepe says
This is true ….
Poppa and Robert Kennedy STOLE the 1960 election with the help of the Italian mob.
John F. Kennedy, a Catholic was elected president in 1960.
But his family was corrupt and he was a really bad president, making bad decisions.
May America never see another Kennedy family member derived from Joe Kennedy as president again.
Good riddance to the Boston Kennedy clan for good.

I hope he has to resign as governor to run and then loses. Can you stay on as governor while you campaign in a presidential election?

On the contrary, ignorance and stupidity works swimmingly for democrats and their voters! Proof? Question: how many elected democrats are there on crapitol hill and elsewhere?
The “dumbassery” of democrats and their voters is legend!
Roark says
Does anyone enforce the law anymore? Oh, I forgot, Friends of Biden Incorporated is too busy arresting grandmothers for praying at baby sacrifice ceremonies.
Walz is guilty as charged:
Does anyone enforce laws anymore:
Public Law No: 113-12 (06/03/2013)
(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
Stolen Valor Act of 2013 – Amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds himself or herself out to be a recipient of:
a Congressional Medal of Honor,
a distinguished-service cross,
a Navy cross,
an Air Force cross,
a silver star,
a Purple Heart,
a Combat Infantryman’s Badge,
a Combat Action Badge,
a Combat Medical Badge,
a Combat Action Ribbon,
a Combat Action Medal, or
any replacement or duplicate medal for such medal as authorized by law.
Roark says
There are laws to control these traitors. They are just not enforced:
The Communist Control Act of 1954 (68 Stat. 775, 50 U.S.C. §§ 841–844) is an American law signed by President Dwight Eisenhower on August 24, 1954, that outlaws the Communist Party of the United States and criminalizes membership in or support for the party or “Communist-action” organizations and defines evidence to be considered by a jury in determining participation in the activities, planning, actions, objectives, or purposes of such organizations.
