Tag: Walz for VP

  • Coverage

    While this appears to be pure fluff on the surface… Minnesota Governor and 2024 Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz has built a reputation as a bit of a foodie, or maybe just someone who enjoys food of varying qualities. After all, he’s not always eating the most refined foods — he’s declared his love for…

  • A Hard Conversation

    SCENE:  Mitch BERG is shopping at the Roseville Cub.  The one on Larpenteur, not the one at Har Mar.   He rounds the end-cap in the condiment aisle, and sees Avery LIBRELLE, Cat SCAT and Gutterball GARY.  Before he can backtrack, they notice him. SCAT:  Hey, Merg. BERG:  Uh… GARY. We need to talk about voting…

  • The Terrorists, Communists, Nazis And King George III Won

    There are two kinds of people in the world: people who look at statements like this and think: And, moreover …either: “WHAT?  Government doesn’t have a plan for me?  Ehrmuhgerd what will I do?“ Or “Well, good.  That’s why my ancestors came to America; so we could have our own plan and not worry about…

  • Out Of Their Depth

    The BIden/Harris administration seems to be slowly figuring out something that most of the rest of the world knew last October 6: Hamas are evil people who don’t want a “deal”, except one that leaves them able to keep killing Jews. Not that it’s sitting well with them: And yet, in her disastrous interview the…

  • Pounce

    SCENE:   Governor Walz’s command post van, parked out back of the Minnesota State Fair.  Governor WALZ enters, dressed in his “regular Joe” costume, trailed by Lieutenant Governor FLANAGAN, sans turquoise earrings.  Trailing after in the entourage are the Governor’s press secretary, Moonbeam BIRKENSTOCK, and Lt. Gov. Flanagan’s press aide Cat SCAT.   WALZ’s face is red,…

  • A Warning

    Kamala Harris’s choice of Tim Walz for her running mate appears to be hurting her… …in Minnesota: And who knows him better than the people he’s been governing, badly and opaquely, for six years? As one local wag put it…: What she said. Leave him at the door, America.

  • The New Girl On The Beat

    There must be a new reporter on the campaign beat.  Nobody told her – Governor Walz doesn’t answer questions.  Not when asked by Dana Bash in a pre-taped interview… …much less at the state fair, where the media’s job for the six years of. his regime so far has been to ask him about food…

  • Insult To Injury

    Governor Walz hasn’t done a single substantive interview with a “Journalist” that isn’t throwing him sloppy kisses (Esme Murphy, Jason DeRusha) since before the ’22 election. But this? And our erstwhile “fourth estate”, the ones who are supposed to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable? They’re yukking it up: Not sure “peak Minnesota” means…

  • Focus

    Look, it’s not like I need more reasons not to like Governor Walz.  He’s fake.  He’s a product of the Democrat propaganda machine.  He’s a wannabe tyrant.  But more personally? Listen to this bit here: I’ll cop to it – I spent a good chunk of my early years in the Twin Cities with a…

  • The Minnesota Stealth Tribute

    It only took the Strib six, almost seven, months to get around to “correcting” their headline about Gov. and Mrs. Klink’s, uh, “misspeaking” about their infertility treatment:   When in doubt, distrusting the Strib is always appropriate.

  • “Moderate”

    Tim Walz loves him some Chinese Communism.  Well, at the very least he loved it, back when he was teaching kids “social studies”: There appears to be precious little evidence that he changed anything but  his surface decorations (during 12 years as a “moderate” while campaigning in the rural 1st CD). 

  • On Behalf Of The Entire Midwest

    Dear “Democrat Governors Association”: Perhaps this isn’t the image  of  “energy” you want to attribute to “the Midwest”: A couple of obese politburo members with a penchant for authoritarian shenanigans? Please see to this. The Entire Midwest

  • Among Tim Walz’s Many Tall Tales

    When Governor Klink and the DFL legislative majority were making the case to squander the “surplus” [1], they put “cutting poverty by 30%” as one of their goals.  So – how is poverty in Minnesota doing? Well – we don’t know.  Official poverty stats conveniently trail real time by a couple of years.  Official poverty…

  • Walz: Where’s The Beef?

    I’ve got a question for the hive mind of this blog. Yesterday, Governor Klink made perhaps his most, to coin a term, “weird” attack on JD Vance: Now, what he’s talking about is theWhich brings up the question – does the term “Runza” occur in Minnesota at all? It’s apparently named after a chain of…

  • A 20 Year Parade Of Lies – Prelude

    We’ve known it in Minnesota for a while.  But the rest of the nation needs to know.  Governor Walz has a tenuous relationship with the truth on topic after topic. I want to put together the ultimate compendium of Tim Walz’s lies. And I need your help . If you can recall an episode about…

  • Walz: Artifice All The Way Down

    Long ago, there were a couple of regular-ish commenters who felt the need to reinforce their claims by invoking information “from neighbors” living nearby them, who just happened to be world-class experts on the subject – but couldn’t be named, because they didn’t want to get pelted with questions from people from a blog. So…

  • Under Fire

    The Minnesota Military and Veterans Museum is a non-partisan, private museum located inside Camp Ripley, up near Baxter. It published a book referencing MInnesotans’ involvement in twenty years of the Global War on Terror.  It includes Governor Walz’s comments at a 9/11 address the the Capitol. I’ve screenshot this quote from those remarks: Let’s forget…

  • Honor

    SCENE:  Mitch BERG is boxed in in at a stoplight.  Avery LIBRELLE rides up in between cars on a recumbent e-bike.  BERG ponders getting away over the sidewalk, but figures it’s not quite worth it. BERG: (dejectedly, resigned to the inevitable). Hey, Aver… LIBRELLE:  Shut up, Merg. Republicans like you are slandering a good man…

  • Misspoke

    I didn’t know this until this morning-  but Governor Klink still has a House of Representatives twitter account.   It’s in effect a zombie account, but it’s out there.   And as of this 0445 this morning, it’s still “mis-speaking” for the Governor:  It’s all right there – for the time being, at least.   If he “misspoke”,…

  • Gwen Antoinette

    Now that Tim Walz is enjoying the first of his fifteen minutes, it’s high time we revisit some of his greatest hits. Here’s Gwen Walz – who seems more and more like a Jill Biden character lately, and that’s not a good thig – talking about her, uh, odd perspective on the 2020 riots: As…

  • In His Own Words

    So, Governor and Veep Candidate Walz supports censorship of “misinformation” (which is defined by his sycophants in the media) and “hate speech”, which is defined by…him. I’m gonna guess this gets called “hateful misinformation”. One heartbeat away from the presidency, if America doesn’t wise up this fall.

  • Just To Be Clear…

    I’m just a little bit overjoyed that Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz.  How do I put this?  Tim Walz is Bernie Sanders in an Elmer Fudd costume.  Kamala Harris felt the need, for whatever reason – we’ll come back to that – to to whatever sliver of the Democrat Party that is to her left,…
