When VP Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz, Minnesota's ultra-progressive governor, as her running mate, Democrats questioned the pick while Republicans rejoiced. Saturday, Gov. Walz went pheasant hunting. Sunday, CNN's Scott Jennings shared his thoughts on Gov. Walz's hunting trip, saying "It was a rough week, her favorability numbers are down, and they're struggling. On the front page of the New York Times this morning, Democrats are struggling with African-American voters, particularly African-American men. This gender gap is a real issue, you see Democrats reacting to it. And I think what they are coming to realize, in October, finally, is that a lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who want to become women than dudes who just want to be dudes. No hunting cosplay cringe video is going to change it, the bed is made." When first picked, Gov. Walz created quite the stir, calling Sen. J.D. Vance weird. That's quite something coming from the guy wh

It's obvious why Barack Obama ran for president right after getting elected to the U.S. Senate. It's apparent that his soaring rhetoric had a limited shelf life. Obama went from being Mr. Hope and Change to being the Democrats' biggest scold. Thursday night in Pittsburgh, Mr. Hope and Change tried scolding black men into voting for VP Harris. It's a shame that Obama didn't build people up. His penchant was to talk trash. The truth is that Obama has just as thin of skin as Trump. It's worth studying Obama's economic policies. Obama said that "you can't drill your way to cheaper gas prices. A week later, Newt Gingrich coined the phrase of "Drill here. Drill now. Pay less." When Trump got into office, he followed the Gingrich blueprint. There wasn't a single day during Trump's administration when the average price of a gallon of gas got to $3.00. Energy was abundant. That helped lift a record number of families out of poverty. Furthe

When Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz to be her running mate, the Harris campaign stated that Gov. Walz would help bolster the ticket with rural voters and in the Midwest. Republicans, including me, knew that she'd picked him over Josh Shapiro because she caved to Palestinians in Michigan. There was no way she could pick a Jew as her running mate. That'd mean she'd lose Michigan, which likely meant she'd lose the election. It turns out that Gov. Walz has been a total bust. Friday night on Almanac, Prof. David Schultz was asked to grade Gov. Walz as a running mate. Prof. Schultz gave him a C grade. That's what's called liberal grade inflation. From someone other than a proud liberal like Prof. Schultz, the best that Gov. Walz could hope for is a D-. Bearing Arms published this article on the subject. It opens, saying "When Kamala Harris tapped Tim Walz as her running mate, the conventional wisdom on the Left was that the Minnesota governor would help her campa

Last spring, Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker drew the rather of feminists when he talked about the virtues of stay-at-home moms. At the time, it was obvious that he wasn't advocating for women to choose this option exclusively. He was speaking at a Catholic university and he was speaking about his wife only. Fast forward to this campaign. With this being Kansas City's bye week, Butker chose to endorse Sen. Josh Hawley . In fact, Hawley "is appearing with Harrison Butker, the Kansas City Chief’s kicker, at three stops throughout the state on Thursday, including one in Parkville. Hawley has also sent two fundraising emails touting an endorsement from the Super Bowl winning kicker." Butker didn't send out some milquetoast endorsement email either. Butker didn't send out some milquetoast endorsement email endorsing Sen. Hawley either. Butker didn’t hide his Christian faith or his political and societal beliefs. Butker wrote “He’s not just a Senator;

Donald Trump found an eloquent-sounding pit bull to attack the Biden administration's terrible response to Hurricane Helene. His name is J.D. Vance, the author of Hillbilly Elegy. Sen. Vance didn't pull punches in his WSJ op-ed . For instance, Sen. Vance wrote "On Oct. 2, six days after the storm made landfall, the Defense Department announced that 1,000 troops had been authorized to deploy to the hurricane-response zone, including elements of the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Liberty, N.C. These troops bring with them debris-clearing and water-purification equipment—critical resources for communities with blocked roads and orders to boil drinking water. As evening fell on Friday, Oct. 4, fewer than half of the 1,000 troops were conducting operations and deployed to Western North Carolina. " That's pathetic. Businesses, churches and charities were on the ground within hours of the hurricane hitting western North Carolina. Donald Trump, the former president, imm

J.D. Vance is finally vindicated . During last week's vice-presidential debate, Sen. J.D. Vance accused Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, of changing Minnesota's abortion laws. Gov. Walz denied that, saying "That is not the way the law is written. … [T]hat’s been misread. And it was fact-checked at the last debate. It’s not the case. It’s not true. That’s not what the law says." Rep. Harry Niska knows that Gov. Walz isn't telling the truth. Harry tweeted "In fact, @ShannonBream is 100% correct and @Tim_Walz is lying again. The law he signed was far more radical than just restoring Roe v Wade. I know because I tried to help them to “codify Roe” and they rejected my amendment." The language that was in play prior to 2023 said "A born alive infant as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person, and accorded immediate protection under the law. All reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice, including the co
