Highlighting Tim Walz-style leadership

Yesterday. I wrote this post about the Strib endorsing Tim Walz for Governor. In their editorial, the Strib cited Gov. Walz's "steady leadership" during difficult times. That's a fantasy. Tim Walz didn't lead during the COVID crisis. He was the portrait of an authoritarian.

Gov. Walz didn't provide "steady leadership" during the George Floyd Riots, either. (It's impossible to lead when you're AWOL for the first 72 hrs.) Tim Walz isn't a leader. He's the opposite of a leader, in fact. After getting conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major in the National Guard, aka CSM, Walz didn't stick around to get properly promoted to CSM.

That's because he 'retired' from the National Guard when he found out that he wasn't getting a cushy office job in Europe. Instead, he found out that his platoon was getting deployed to Iraq. I guess that's proof that when the going gets rugged, Tim Walz disappears. That's definitely the opposite of leadership.

Why Minnesotans elected Walz to represent them in Congress is a mystery. Why Minnesotans elected him to be their governor is puzzling, too. The question that the Strib hasn't asked is why he hasn't fixed any of the crises he's faced during his time as governor. (Mostly, he's muddled his way through. Then he's blamed others when things fell apart. Just ask Jacob Frey about that.)

This is typical Tim Walz:

When Walz screws up, he blames others. Just like clockwork.

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
