It's Friday, August 9, 2024. The election is 87 days away. It's been less than three weeks since President Joe Biden was kicked off the ticket against his will, and Democrats are already dancing on his grave. Sleepy Joe was barely mentioned at the rally in Philadelphia where Kamala Harris introduced her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota. At one point, Walz thanked Harris for "bringing back the joy," a clear reference to the feeling of relief among Democrats who no longer have to pretend—as Walz himself did just last month—that Biden was mentally sharp and fit to serve.
Walz whipped the Philly crowd into a frenzy with a creepy joke about his GOP counterpart, J.D. Vance, having intercourse with a couch—a stupid fake story retched from the bowels of social media that instantly seeped into elite liberal discourse, where peddling "misinformation" is typically viewed as an assault on American democracy. It won't be long until the journalists report that Republicans are "seizing" and "pouncing" on the "couch sex allegation."
Republicans are the "weird" ones, said Walz, who is so normal he chose to get married on the five-year anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre—June 4, 1994—because he "wanted to have a date he'll always remember." He thinks GOP lawmakers should "mind their own damn business," which is a bit rich coming from the governor who set up a special phone line in 2020 so liberal scolds could snitch on their neighbors who refused to wear masks outside.
While most journalists and other Democrats praised the Walz selection, anti-Semites were overjoyed. Hamas apologists such as Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar, and Jamaal Bowman could hardly contain their excitement after Harris picked Walz over Josh Shapiro, the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania. Mehdi Hasan, the former TV host whose anti-Israel views were too radical for MSNBC, said snubbing the Jew was a "great decision" that showed Harris and the Democratic Party were "taking the base seriously." Indeed.
OK, let's get on with it. |

The Washington Free Beacon's Chuck Ross and Joe Simonson have some great reporting about Tim Walz's embellished military career. Politico reports that the Harris campaign has "updated" the VP candidate's online biography in response to "Republican efforts to question his record."
It's not a great look for the "folksy" Midwestern governor, but it's not even the worst stolen valor scandal involving Tim Walz we learned of this week. In addition to his military service, the Harris campaign has repeatedly touted Walz's career as a high school teacher and varsity football coach. Harris even introduced him as "Coach Walz" at the rally in Philadelphia.
It was all a lie. |

Walz was an assistant coach and defensive coordinator who served in support of head coach Rick Sutton at Mankato West High School. It was Sutton who led the fightin' Scarletts to a state championship in Minnesota, where most of the best athletes play hockey or become functioning alcoholics instead. |
