Tim Walz's disgusting press conference

My jaw hit the floor when I heard Gov. Walz say that replaying the 9+ minute videotape of George Floyd's death "have desensitized the horrificness of what was witnessed on that Memorial Day last year." Gov. Walz then continued, saying "And we're here this week because of that act. Plain and simple, where we watched a man's humanity get taken and then we watched his life be taken. Last June, we watched that pain and anger pour out into our streets here, across the country and around the world. That civil unrest that followed here in Minnesota left nearly 1,000 businesses in ruin and the lifestream of many with them." Later, Gov. Walz continued, saying "they very clearly stated that if the systemic changes that need to be made aren't made that things would repeat themselves. And when I say things, I mean the horrific deaths of young black men over and over and a systemic feeling in this state that not everybody gets the same opportunities. And just a week ago on Sunday afternoon, we in the world watched again as Daunte Wright's humanity was taken from him -- and then his life. And now we're here with out justice system, just put that decision in the hands of that jury." That's at least twice that Gov. Walz has talked about Daunte Wright without mentioning that there was a warrant for his arrest because he didn't show up for a 2019 court hearing after being accused of stealing $820 from a woman. When she wouldn't give him the money, Daunte Wright allegedly reached his hand inside her bra and grabbed the money. Doesn't this woman's humanity matter to Gov. Walz? Why does Gov. Walz and the DFL treat her like she's insignificant? Further, Gov. Walz made it sound like this was just a routine traffic stop until the police officer decided to shoot an unarmed black man without justification. The officer's bodycam footage paints a totally different picture. This is intentionally misleading the public. Gov. Walz knows that Wright had an outstanding warrant because he missed a court appearance in 2019. Why did Gov. Walz omit that part? Why is he still intentionally stoking racial animosity?

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
