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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
