This should be fun. Kamala Harris was expected to name a "moderate" as her running mate to mitigate her radical Marxism. Instead, Harris decided to go full Marxist and chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Walz is a radical who has a checkered past that is ripe for the picking by Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance.
The most difficult thing about Walz is finding anything positive about him, especially if you are not an unhinged radical leftist. There just isn’t a lot there that appeals to any moderate voters. The only ones truly happy about this selection are the Hamas wing of the Democrat Party such as the “squad,” the Democrat hit squad Antifa, and insane partisan Democrats.
Walz came to prominence during the so-called “summer of love,” otherwise known as the George Floyd riots in 2020. Minneapolis, located in Walz’s home state of Minnesota, was ground zero for those riots after a career criminal, George Floyd, died in police custody due to a combination of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and positional asphyxia. That death was famously blamed on four Minneapolis police department officers, who were convicted in a show trial and sentenced to prison. In the aftermath of Floyd’s death, Walz took the easy way out and instead of trying to cool the temperature, poured gasoline on the fires in the ultimate display of having zero leadership (and no gonads).
During the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, it was none other than Walz’s daughter Hope who tweeted out the position of the Minnesota National Guard to those rioters. Wonder where she got her information from? Based on her (then) Twitter posts, it appeared that Ms. Walz had some insider information:
“could someone who actually has followers rely [sic] to the masses that have gotten ‘national guard’ trending that the guard WILL NOT be present tonight?? there is a lot of misinformation that is further spreading fear and chaos at the scene of the protests..”
“just because someone asked for something doesn’t mean it’s happening right away or even happening at all. i don’t know about swat but what i do know is the guard will not be present arresting people tonight.”
However did Ms. Walz obtain that information?
Several months later during a Floyd memorial event, Walz, outside and wearing a mask, got down on his knees and wrote “Justice Now” on the roadway.
One of the most iconic scenes from the riots in Minneapolis was that of a Minneapolis police precinct set ablaze. Yet, as mobs of rioters laid siege to Minneapolis, Walz remained silent. Had Walz taken decisive action, it might have stemmed the violence that overtook one-half of the twin cities. However, Walz waited three days before activating the Minnesota National Guard, The Federalist reports.
The Daily Signal reports that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, called Walz on the date Floyd’s death became public at 6:29 p.m. asking him to deploy the National Guard, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
“We expressed the seriousness of the situation. The urgency was clear,” Frey said. “He did not say yes. He said he would consider it.”
Frey said he “explicitly asked whether his verbal requests constituted a formal request, and the governor’s staff confirmed they did,” the Star Tribune reported. “The governor’s office disputes that.”
However records showed that Frey had indeed called Walz and Frey later said that “Walz was hesitating.”
Sounds like just the person you want one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Subsequent requests for the National Guard were made by then-Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo through the Public Safety Commissioner, asking for the “assistance of the MN National Guard for immediate assistance with significant civil unrest occurring in the City of Minneapolis.”
Arradondo requested 600 National Guard troops and vehicles.
A subsequent request was sent by Frey on May 28, advising of “widespread looting and arson,” along with injuries being sustained by first responders and some protesters.” Later that afternoon, Walz finally activated the National Guard.
Despite that, troops didn’t arrive until Friday, May 29 by which time South Minneapolis, which was ground zero for the most violent rioting, had simmered down.
Walz attempted to shift the blame to Frey and said it was an “abject failure” that the riots hadn’t been handled locally. However the true reason for his indecisiveness came in a statement he made.
“The very tools that we need to use to get control, to make sure that buildings aren’t burned and the rule of law collapses, are those very institutional tools that have led to that grief and pain.”
In other words, turn the other cheek because we don’t want to piss off the rioters who are clearly already pissed and looking for a reason to destroy things and kill people.
Walz’s ignorance of the violence sparked copycat riots in other cities across the country that continued for what seemed like months unabated. The US hadn’t seen widespread violence and looting like that since 1968 after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
The city still has not recovered from Walz’s incompetence and the Minneapolis Police Department remains a shell of what it once was. Walz’s radicalism of course puts him right in line with his running mate Kamala Harris, who in 2020 encouraged her leftist followers to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to bail violent rioters out of jail.
Investigative journalist Laura Loomer wrote that Walz has been tied to ISIS and frequents the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Minnesota, which according to the FBI is a key location for recruiting ISIS terrorists. That location caters to the Somali community, which the FBI has identified as being a group ISIS targets for recruitment efforts.
“FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq and Syria based ISIS combined,” Loomer wrote on X.
She further wrote that “as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS. BOth numbers are far higher than those of alleged terrorist wannabes who left or attempted to leave from other areas in the country where Muslim refugees have been resettled.”
The head of the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center is Imam Waleed Idris al-Meneesey, who has called for the killing of Jews while also saying Muslims should only participate in courts that follow Islamic Sharia Law.
Further, al-Meneesey sits on the FATWA committee of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists Association of America (AMJA), which has declared that Muslims should not cooperate with law enforcement “in countries which do not rule by Allah’s dictates,” including the FBI.
Loomer asks the very obvious question. Why should someone vote for a ticket with a vice presidential candidate who “openly embraces and stands with an ISIS tied mosque whose Imam is calling for Muslims to kill Jews, only respect Sharia Law, murder Jews and not cooperate with law enforcement?” Unfortunately tens of millions will vote for exactly that.
It is clear that based on just the above, it is clear why Harris rejected Jewish Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. Obtaining the radical “death to Israel” and “death to America” cult’s vote is the most important thing.
In addition to being an ISIS sympathizer, Walz took it to another level when he had the Minnesota state flag replaced with a flag that looks ominously like the Somali flag. Guess we know where his loyalties lie and it isn’t with the United States of America.
Walz in 2023 signed one of the most radical pro-abortion bills in the country, a law that allows abortion for any reason up until the moment of birth, The Federalist reported. The Protect Reproductive Options Act (PROA) which “repeals dozens of the state’s protections for women and babies and expands legal immunity for abortions up until the moment of birth and beyond.”
As expected, the bill was pushed by renowned baby killing organization Planned Parenthood and the Biden administration, however some legal experts complained the bill went “far beyond any interpretation of the Minnesota Supreme Court case Doe v. Gomez,” Minnesota’s version of Roe v. Wade.
“Cattle and reptiles will have more legal protections in Minnesota than Minnesota’s vulnerable preborn children. Legal penalties for animal cruelty in Minnesota range from misdemeanor up to a felony while there is no criminal penalty for leaving a preborn child to die on a cold metal table,” said Renee Carlson, general counsel at True North Legal.
Walz has also signed a bill preventing parents from keeping sexually explicit books out of school and public libraries. He has also supported efforts to ban parents from blocking gender affirming care for their children.
Typical Marxist radical.
Walz has other issues. Harris and Democrats have made much of the fact that Walz served in the National Guard in an attempt to neutralize Republican candidate JD Vance’s service as a United States Marine. However there appears to be more (or less, to be accurate) to Walz’s service than what he is claiming, a 2018 letter to the West Central Tribune claims.
On September 18, 2001, just a week after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Walz re-enlisted in the Minnesota Army National Guard for a term of six years.
In early 2003, Walz was selected to the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy, a non-resident course consisting of two years of correspondence classes and then a two-week residency phase at Fort Bliss, Texas. After graduation or promotion to Sergeant Major or Command Sergeant Major, whichever is later, they will serve two years. If they fail the course, they can be separated from the military. Finally, if they don’t complete the course they are reduced to Master Sergeant without board action.
There are a number of reasons for the stipulations, mainly because the academy is “college level” and the Army invests a lot of money in the student. The military wants to make sure they get a return on that investment for the benefit of the taxpayers.
In late summer 2003, Walz deployed with the 1-125th Field Artillery battalion in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Italy, a mission designed to augment United States Air Force Europe Security forces in a base security capacity for six months. Under no circumstances were units or soldiers from Walz’s battalion replacing units or military forces in order to deploy to Iraq or Afghanistan.
When Walz’s unit returned to Minnesota in spring 2004, he was selected by high level Command Sergeants Major to serve in the position of Command Sergeant Major of the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion.
Being the good Marxist sympathizer Walz was, on August 5, 2004, photographed holding a protest sign outside a campaign rally for President Bush in southern Minnesota.
On September 17, Walz received a conditional promotion to Command Sergeant Major, with conditions given to him when he was counseled and signed the Statement of Agreement and Certification. Were those conditions not met, the promotion would be null and void; in other words, it never happened.
A warning order was issued to the 1-125th Field Artillery battalion in early 2004, which included Walz’s position, notifying the unit to prepare for active duty deployment to Iraq.
Walz quit on May 16, 2005 and left his unit “hanging,” the Tribune wrote, “without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer, as the battalion prepared for war.” Walz claimed he needed to retire because he was planning to run for Congress, when in fact, he was basically afraid to be deployed. His reasoning was debunked by a Department of Defense Directive, which said he could have run had he requested to do so from the Secretary of Defense before entering active duty. That has been done a number of times in the past. Walz skirted the normal retirement process by not making sure his retirement documents had been accurately completed and signed. He would have ensured he was reduced to the rank of Master Sergeant since he dropped out of the academy. His retirement document states, “SOLDIER NOT AVAILABLE FOR SIGNATURE.”
Walz was reduced to Master Sergeant on September 10, 2005 after he had been conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major. The letter noted that “literally no one quits in the position he [Walz] was in, or drops out of the academy. Except him.”
Walz’s battalion was deployed for 22 months in 2006 and 2007, during which time Walz was restricted by Army regulations from speaking out against a candidate for office. Despite that, Walz was elected to the House of Representatives in November, 2006 while claiming that he was “the highest-ranking enlisted service member ever to serve in Congress,” a claim he still makes to this day.
Walz knew that he was not a Command Sergeant Major due to his retirement from the National Guard prior to meeting his obligations and was reduced to Master Sergeant. While he “served at that rank” he “never qualified at that rank,” and his retirement benefits match that.
Walz’s sudden retirement and stolen valor claims do not comport with some of his fellow service members. On November 1, 2006, an Iraq War veteran, Tom Hagen wrote a letter to the Winona Daily News and wrote, in part:
“But even more disturbing is the fact that Walz quickly retired after learning that his unit–southern Minnesota’s 1-125 FA Battalion–would be sent to Iraq. For TIm Walz to abandon his fellow soldiers and quit when they needed experienced leadership most is disheartening.”
Walz is a typical liberal Democrat, claiming one thing while the facts show something completely different. Here is a response to Hagen’s letter, in part:
“After completing 20 years of service in 2001, I re-enlisted to serve our country for an additional four years following Sept. 11 and retired the year before my battalion was deployed to Iraq in order to run for Congress.”
As Maury Povich famously said, “we have determined that is a lie.”
The writers note the following:
“According to his official Report of Separation and Record of Service, he [Walz] re-enlisted for six years on September 18, 2001. However, in his response he says that he re-enlisted for four years, conveniently retiring a year before his battalion was deployed to Iraq. Even if he had re-enlisted for four years following Sept. 11, his retirement date would have been September 18, 2005. Why then did he ‘retire’ on May 16th, 2006, before his supposed four-year enlistment was up? And he makes it sound like he ‘retired’ a year before his battalion deployed to Iraq; when in reality he knew when he ‘retired’ that the battalion would be deployed to Iraq.”
The letter then lays out a number of failures by Walz, failures which followed him into his term as Minnesota governor when instead of leading, he tucked his tail and hid.
“The bottom line in all of this is gut wrenching and sad to explain. When the nation called, he quit. He failed to complete the United States Army Major Sergeants Major Academy. He filed to serve for two years following completion of the academy, which he dropped out of. He failed to serve two years after the conditional promotion to Command Sergeant Major. He failed to fulfill the full six years of the enlistment he signed on September 18th, 2001. He failed his country. He failed his state. He failed the Minnesota Army National Guard, the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion and his fellow soldiers. And he failed to lead by example. Shameful.”
The letter was signed by Thomas Behrends, Command Sergeant Major (Retired) and Paul Herr, Command Sergeant Major (Retired).
Go figure. A Democrat “leader” embellishing his accomplishments. How very Joe Biden of Tim Walz.

Yes, it is obvious he is a corrupt POS but lets also not forget all the taxpayer fraud that occurred under him in Minnesota. Unfortunately, he is probably the best match that they would make for Kamala.
