Feeling Seen Yet?
Tim Walz is not the savviest politician who ever kissed a baby or shook a hand. But yesterday’s “knucklehead” admission may be the dumbest own goal he’s ever made: Admitting that one is a marketing charade is a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see how it works. Ed Morrissey notes: In that sense, perhaps this is…

A Lion At The Bar, A Kitten On The Battlefield
For all the aggressive rhetoric that accompany his flouncing and jazz hands, Tim Walz is not exactly a self-assured man. He almost comletely avoided debating Scott Jensen in the 2022 Governor tilt – limiting it to one debate at a small TV station in Rochester. For good reason How good, we learned last summer It…

Hours Of Fun!
Just in time for Christmas – and President’s Day [1] – the Governor Walz action figure! Pull the string on his back to hear ten realistic-sounding phrases! – “One Minnesota!” “While billionaires feed their greed, we’re feeding kids!” …and, like 6-8 more! [2] Also – realistic “deer in the headlights” look when you ask him…

Wishful
Governor Klink is doing the rounds of the Twin Cities media, saying he’s not going to rule out further runs for national office. Of course, to a leftist, “conversation” means “Monologue” – which is what Walz is used to here in Minnesota, with his constant stream of selfies and Twitter proclamations and straw men. His…

Worse For Wear
Walz comes back to Minnesota, looking like… …well, he looks and sounds like hell quite frankly. “ “Take time to heal?” That’s what Minnesota’s going to do after eight years, if it has the sense not to elect someone worse.

What’s In A Word?
Last night, someone on social media had a slightly different angle on the weekend rally featuring Governor Walz. Earlier in his failed VP bid, he said “to some people, “socialism” is just neighborliness“. And over the weekend, the guy who called over half the nation “Nazis” hopes we can look at each other as neighbors.…

Not Ready To Make Nice
Governor Walz came back to Minnesota late last week. And at a rally – is that the right word? – in Eagan, he started the process of… Speaking for myself? Govenor, you called me and half this state “Nazis”. You will never be my “neighbor”. There will be no forgiveness. More generally? Call me cynical,…

Hugh Oughtta Know
It was 20 years ago when Hugh Hewitt released “If It’s Not Close They Can’t Cheat”. And he was finally right. As this is written, Wednesday morning, Donald Trump has 277 electoral votes nailed down. Trump could actually get over 300 – as this is written, Michigan, Arizona, Alaska and Nevada and their 35 votes…

Reason 110
Crystal K, charter MOB member, has a scathing review of life in Tim Walz’s Minnesota. Read the whole thing . There are too many pullquotes to run them all: Fingers crossed.

Never Forget
Since Tim “Mind Your Own Business” Walz and his phalanx of lies are on the ticket next week, let’s make sure people remember this: They warned us that if we voted GOP, fascism would erupt. And they were right.

We’re #1!
Joe Doakes, formerly of Como Park, emails: It’s talking about fiscal policy and, well… No choking in the finals in this contest…

Attention, America
Looking for a good review of Tim Walz’s reign? Look no further than Minnesota. Seen on the roof of the Governor’s mansion: I call that a PhD-level troll.

Just So We’re Clear
A guy who started a snitch line, enacted a thoughtcrime database, sicced the Attorney General on businesses that tried to survive his draconian and capricious Covid regulations and turned radical protesters into a fourth branch of government when he wanted social policy done… …is lying to warn us about authoritarianism.

“Buddy, Could You Try To Be A Little Less Awkward?”
Call me old-fashioned, but I’d think a governor who’s built his entire career out of rigorously-contolled optics – lots of photos of eating fair food and holding animals and social media strawmen, no uncontrolled press conferences or public debates – would know better than to do… …that.

The Walz Campaign In Two Videos
How It Started This, of course, is the campaign Tim Walz is used to running: carefully curated photos of him holding animals, being fed corn dogs by Peggy Flanagan, and occasionally spouting risible strawmen via social media. An “Instagram” Governor. The bit above may be the perfect metaphor for Tim Walz, 2004-2023. How It’s Going…

Public Service
Submitted without comment, here’s Governor Walz’s appearance last Sunday on Fox. Did I say “submitted without comment?” You know me better than that. He does not come off well. I’d like to make sure as many Minnesotans as possible see this – not only for the Presidential tilt, but as people assess the DFL’s performance…

…It’s The Absence Of Coverup
David Strom has a results of VP debate. The ghosts of Richard Stockdale and Richard Nixon are calling back from the great beyond thanking Walz for making them no longer the easiest “presidential debate flop sweat” joke.

Truer Words
I’ve been meaning to come back to this. A Harris/Klink op brought it up with a high hanging curveball: Being corralled into a staged propaganda exercise? I’ve never been a big Tim Walz fan. Quite the opposite. But is anyone else getting some…1930s vibes? Or perhaps more appropriately to Walz’s time in Omahongkong: I can’t…

In Case You Were Wondering
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Tim Walz ducked all meaningful debates in the 2022 cycle. Highlights of the evening: Vance calling the moderators on their fairly naked bias: After the moderators used their interstitial bits to finish Walz’s point for him while trying to “fact-check” Vance, Vance finally had enough, and beat them…

Pounce
In my interview with former Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka last Saturday, we talked about the depths of Governor Klink’s radicalism. With that in mind – with any luck, this should turn up in the Veep debate tonight: In a very significant development — I am almost prepared to say the most significant development in…

Tim Crow
Governor Walz takes us back to the glory days of “Separate but Equal”: But of course there’s a reason for this: Libraries have got to be woke, you see: One of the goals is to make libraries “more inclusive”. One would think inviting all those bigoted (checks notes) librarians would be pretty vital, if that’s…

Klink Salutes you
On the weekend before the big debate with JD Vance, Tim Walz reminds everone that he’s a thin-skinned petulant little man: For the first time in my politics-watching career, I’m excited to go to a vice-presidentai debate.

Correcting The Record
Last week, we talked about Gene Pelowski (DFL, HD26B) about his reservations about the DFL’s trifecta. Now, retired GOP Senate leader (in both the majority and minority) Paul Gazelka is publishing a book about Tim Walz. And it‘s not a flattering look (emphasis added): This oughtta be good. Why yes, I will be interviewing the…
