DETROIT, MI — Coming under heavy criticism over allegedly false claims about his military service, Minnesota governor and current vice presidential candidate Tim Walz clarified that he's never been to Iraq, but he has been to downtown Minneapolis, which is basically the same thing.  [...]

Journalists Confused By Presidential Candidate Standing In Front Of Cameras And Answering Questions

 

[...] "What… what strange practice is this?" one journalist was heard asking as he observed the surreal event of Trump answering a reporter's question.  "Let me get this straight… this guy is running for president, and he's actually standing there in front of cameras and he's… fielding questions from the media?  And he wasn't given the questions in advance?  And he's not reciting scripted answers from a teleprompter?  Are we sure this is ok?  It feels like we're doing something wrong."  [...]

Hmm,  and some say that Trump is racist.

Do you think that these interviews are representative of how most people in the Bronx feel?

More than likely not, it is NYC.  That being said many folks from different ethnic groups seem to be opening their eyes to the identity politics (institutional racism) of the Democrat Party.

I’d argue that the core of the Republican Party since Nixon and the southern strategy has been white identity politics. Trump has brought it to another level.

I think you are mixing up what the MSM has been saying with what is really happening.  There is one Party that allows for equality, and it is not the one represented by the donkey.

 

Btw, Old Corrupt Joe said if Trump was to be elected, there is the possibility of not having a peaceful transfer of power.  I guess the left/Democrats are a fairly terroristic party.

You don’t have to believe the mainstream media, you can listen to people from your own party.

 

“Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization,” Mehlman said, according to his prepared remarks. “I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.”

So much for thorough vetting of one's VP choice...

BOMBSHELL:  Tim Walz's Former Unit Commander Goes on CNN, Delivers Devestating Testimony

 

In a devastating development, current Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz's former unit commander appeared on CNN and completely blew up the scandal surrounding the abandoning of his unit before its deployment to Iraq.

 

For days, the mainstream press has claimed that Walz did not know about the deployment before deciding to retire early and run for Congress.  Command Seargent Major Doug Julin, who was the now-Minnesota governor's direct report, went through the timeline with Laura Coates.  Not only did Walz know about the deployment, but he had committed to go.  It was only after he went around Julin that he was able to secure his retirement, leaving his unit hamstrung just months before they shipped out.  [...]

Maybe Walz’s bone spurs were hurting him too.

I don’t think Trump ever claimed to have served, or retired at a rank that was not his, or served in combat.  Walz’s is a case of stolen valor that he has used for political gain which is a slap in the face to those that did serve.

So things don’t change in 20 years.  It is a fact that Trump is getting more support from the minority communities, and the Democrats/progressives are touting things like segregation, safe spaces, and DEI to keep people separated in their political identities unless of course some open their minds, and then it is attack and destroy by the Democrats.

Presumably I am missing something, but I can not see anything any normal person would find positive about Kamala. There is plenty of past to review.

 

The Dems had an opportunity to put someone forward vaguely competent. They decided to stick with DEI.

It's odd that the only politicians I have heard of lying about those things have a "D" beside their names.

It’s all about the marketing they are getting from the MSM.  There is a big push to anoint her some sort of superstar with all hope and change, and Democrats like to vote for an idol.  Now this may work, but there is that pesky 4 years of being part of the Biden Administration that they need to try and hide.

Here is the type of intelligent supporter of Harris that will vote for her no questions asked.  Tries to pass off a Harris rally as a Trump rally.
