Scott Jensen's most powerful indictment of Tim Walz's leadership

A loyal reader of this blog sent me a devastating video by the Jensen campaign criticizing Gov. Walz's leadership during times of crisis. The video lasts 275 seconds (4:35) and criticizes Gov. Walz for freezing in times of crisis. In the video, Jensen cites repeated examples of times when Gov. Walz waited too long to react.

Dr. Jensen cites an article in which a Minneapolis DFL City Councilmember (Michael Rainville) talks about the crime from this past 4th of July. Dr. Jensen quotes Rainville, who says "This lawlessness cannot continue. We need help from the Governor. He has to bring in the National Guard to Minneapolis. I would like to ask Gov. Walz why he doesn't care about public safety in Minneapolis. I wish he'd call me."

Context

This happened this 4th of July. Minneapolis had cancelled Fourth of July fireworks because of the heightened potential for violence.

Accusation

Tim Walz froze.

The video:

This isn't an official campaign ad but it's telling people how Gov. Walz froze. People remember how Gov. Walz didn't send in the National Guard troops in the early days of the George Floyd riots. Not only did Walz not protect the people of Minneapolis. He blamed Jacob Frey of not filling out the paperwork properly. Who cares? Protect the people first.

When the Third Precinct Police Station burned down, Walz and Frey treated it like it wasn't a big deal. To the people in that part of Minneapolis, it sent the message that they were on their own, that their government had failed in its primary function of defending the people. Imagine how the people in that part of Minneapolis felt at that point.

This is effective messaging. The quality of Tim Walz's decision-making wasn't acceptable. When he froze, he didn't accept responsibility for that mistake. He blamed Jacob Frey rather than accepting responsibility. That's the opposite of leadership.

Finally, it's obvious that Walz hasn't grown into the job. He's still the mistake-riddled politician that he's always been. It's time for a change. Minnesota needs a leader, not a career politician.

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
