J.D. Vance outclasses Tim Walz, moderators in VP Debate

Last night wasn't a good night for Minnesota politics. Tim Walz is trying to become Minnesota's first VP since Walter Mondale was Jimmy Carter's vice president in 1977-1981. If last night's debate is the final determining factor, Mondale is safe for at least another 4 years.

From the start, Gov. Walz looked nervous and not in control of the facts or issues. Gov. Walz frequently made glaring mistakes. His biggest mistake came when asked about why he changed his position on gun control. He said he changed his mind when he listened to Sandy Hook parents. That's when he said that I sat in that office with those Sandy Hook parents. I’ve become friends with school shooters. I’ve seen it." That's a pretty bad gaffe. That's so bad this article intentionally omitted that part of the statement altogether. They didn't mention the statement about becoming friends with school shooters.

Perhaps Sen. Vance's best line of the night might've been when he said that "President Trump doesn't just have a plan. He's got a record." Vance's closing statement was fantastic:

The strongest moment during the debate was when Margaret Brennan, co-moderator and Walz's co-debater fact-checked Sen. J.D. Vance about Springfield, OH:

When Brennan fact-checked Sen. Vance, he pushed ahead, saying "The rules were that you weren't going to fact-check but since you're fact=checking me, I should say what's actually going on. So there's an app called the CBP One App where you can go on as an illegal migrant and apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That isn't a person coming in and applying for a green card ... and waiting 10 years." Brennan then smugly smiled and said "Thank you for describing the legal process" before Norah O'Donnell, Brennan's and Walz's co-debater cut the microphones.

These women couldn't stand the thought of a man actually challenging their authority. Aftert the debate, Brit Hume had this to say on the matter:

CNN's Scott Jennings put it best, saying "As the candidates for vice president took the stage in New York on Tuesday night, the state of North Carolina was under water, Israel was under siege, the American supply chain was under threat of disruption by an East Coast port strike and the American people were under the impression that there was a leadership void in the White House." They're under that impression because there is a leadership void in the White House.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

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

Blistering Barack's butt (bigtime)

This past weekend, Barack Obama tried spreading the blame around for Hamas's murderous rampage of Oct. 7. This blistering op-ed hints that Mr. Obama isn't the effective communicator that he once was. Obama initially insisted that "nobody's hands are clean" from the Oct. 7 Massacre. Liel Leibovitz, the Editor at large of Tablet Magazine wrote this op-ed questioning Obama's intellectual honesty. After Obama said that nobody's hands are clean, Mr. Liebovitz wrote wrote "Nah, man. Not all of us are complicit. It's just you. It's you, because you're the one who gave that stentorian speech about red lines in Syria and then sat by and did nothing as those red lines were crossed and Assad continued to slaughter his own people, allowing the Iranians and the Russians to creep in and fill the vacuum left by your devastating lack of leadership." In short, Mr. Liebovitz isn't buying what Mr. Obama is peddling. Let's question Mr. Obama a
