Who was that man? I think he‘s doing the Kamala Walz!
We have the sinking feeling that Democrats have stolen our homework and are eating our school lunches. Our best girl is not answering the phone.
An objective theater critic would have to admit the roll out of Kamala & Walz Tuesday 08-06-24 before 10,000 newly energized partisans in Philly was simply boffo! Even Fox News carried their rally live. Kamala looks to be coming into her own, more assured, less cackling, laying fewer eggs. Trading down to pick Tim Walz for veep was a steal!
We get it. Walz is progressivism with a human face (as was said about applying lipstick to communism). Under an accountant’s green eyeshade, Walz is Covid lockdowns, climate change alarmism, abortion on demand, higher taxes, more free stuff, boys in the girls’ locker room and tampons in the boys’ bathroom. Driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants, election ballots for convicted felons. Diddled while Minneapolis burned. Government monopoly schools, teachers union-approved. Except, except, except …
Try as we might, the guy is hard to hate. He’s the fellow at the free-range egg stand at farmers market. Farm boy, high school football coach, military man, Midwest nice. Picks up your newspaper when you’re out of town. Doesn’t seem to hurt his face when he smiles, which is often. Is this guy having fun? (!!!) Yin to Kamala’s Yang. 🎵 The salt to her pepper. 🎶 Very UnWeird.
There a bounce to their step. “Thank you for bringing back the joy,” Walz told his benefactor in Philly. Joy is powerful political juju.
Character of the Happy Warrior
by William Wordsworth
Who is the happy Warrior? Who is he
That every man in arms should wish to be?
— It is the generous Spirit, who, when brought
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought:
Whose high endeavors are an inward light
That makes the path before him always bright!
Personality!
In electioneering, what trumps (sorry) policy, resumé, message, and money? Only one thing: Likability!
“Morning in America” goes down easier than “Extremism in the defense of liberty …” Kennedy, tanned; Nixon, sweating. Happy days were here again when FDR rolled onto the stage. Voters Liked Ike! Tommy Thompson said Chuck Chvala drank vinegar for breakfast. Trump lucked out when he drew the Hildabeast. Nurse Ratched in pantsuits.
The once-again Republican presidential nominee is generally right on the issues but leaves a trail of sulphur, spite, and broken glass. “Republicans wince at Trump’s ‘nervous breakdown’,” reads a headline at Politico. Could we not see it coming?
Republicans on Monday [08-05-24] reeled from Trump’s undisciplined approach to the opening stages of his new general election matchup with Harris — following a weekend that saw him praise Russian leader Vladimir Putin while smearing Harris as “low IQ,” and “dumb” and attacking a popular swing-state GOP governor whose turnout operation he may [will!] need in November.
“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” said Matthew Bartlett, a GOP strategist and former Trump administration appointee. “We’re seeing a candidate and a campaign absolutely melt down.”
We are long past the time where we thought he could maybe rein in his worst angels and he’s going to keep doing this and no amount of polling data or advice from people close to him will change him,” said Barrett Marson, an Arizona-based Republican strategist. “He’s a 78-year-old guy stuck in his ways.” — Politico
You want bootstraps?
At the Wall Street Journal, Holman Jenkins regrets that “Mr. Trump … failing to anticipate Kamala, should be kicking himself now for not picking Tim Scott as his running mate. Voters should be kicking him, too.” Tim Scott — now there is up by the bootstraps! Think Nikki Haley at the top of the ticket would be dodging a debate with Kamala?
Blaska’s Bottom Line: But even Mother Cabrini on the ticket could not neutralize the acid spill Republicans left for themselves.

Trump, despite his warts and pimples, is still infinitely better than any Progressive candidate.
yes, but……I think we better pray for a miracle.
“ Kamala looks to be coming into her own, more assured, less cackling, laying fewer eggs.”
That’s because she is 100% scripted.
Don’t drink the Kamala Kool-aid it doesn’t end well.
Tim Walz: “There’s no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech and especially around our democracy”
Terrifying. Disqualifying.
I believe Walz was referring to lies about voting logistics. Thirteen states already have statutes making false statements about the voting process in order to mislead against the law, One Eye.
Belching hate speech is part of the voting process?
You are right on the money Dave. This crazy uncle crap has been replayed since 2016 and people are sick of it. The lies, name calling and just plain laziness is once again on display. Harris spoke in front of 12,000 people today. Vance was standing in a warehouse with 7 people behind him who all looked pi##ed off because he was cutting into their lunch break. Where’ Donny? Locked in at Mar-A- LARDO screaming at his campaign staff and throwing cheeseburgers at the walls. Biggest problem? He loves to bitch, but there is no plan to fix anything. Where’s the beef Don? The whole campaign is just like him. Grumpy, joyless, fact challenged miserable fools. Even Faux news is walking way. Pick a fight with the UAW, tell our vets they are suckers and fools, have Vance spit on women’s rights for you and you will be in the dumpster like 4 years ago.
Wow now it turns out Walz is a coward who lied about being in combat. “Stolen Valor”. How long until he is forced to drop out? Pelosi and Obama are probably already making moves.
Was Harris incompetent in choosing him or was he the only one who said “Yes”? Chin up Kamala I think Tom Barrett is available.
You beat The Gotch to it, OE. You being the unofficial Werkes’ Oddsmaker, when will you issue the Over-Under…?
The Gotch
50/50? If Walz suddenly finds himself surrounded by female secret service agents he should seriously reconsider his career trajectory.
If Tampon Timmy does drop out, it seems the hilariously ousted Squad Grrrl Cori Bush is now available.
Glass half full?
Her Jew Hating Bona Fides are second to none, and they’d play well with the MI & MN Muzzie vote so coveted by despicable Lefty.
Glass half empty?
Her shockingly threatening UNHINGED SORE LOSER RANT may land her on the Terrorist Watch List

CBS News: “Walz served honorably in both the Nebraska and Minnesota National Guards, earning medals and deploying in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.”
The Minnesota National Guard told CBS that Walz’s unit—1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery—received an alert order for mobilization in Irag on 7/14/2005, two months after Walz retired from the Guard.”
This comment section is not good at swift-boating.
Look it up.
“This comment section is not good at swift-boating.”
Arguable…but then there’s this, from the retired Command Sergeants Major of the Minnesota National Guard: The Truth About Tim Walz
MONEY QUOTE: “WHEN THE NATION CALLED, HE QUIT. HE FAILED to complete the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy. HE FAILED to serve for two years following completion of the academy, which he dropped out of. HE FAILED to serve two years after the conditional promotion to Command Sergeant Major. HE FAILED to fulfill the full six years of the enlistment he signed on September 18th, 2001. HE FAILED his country. HE FAILED his state. HE FAILED the Minnesota Army National Guard, the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion, AND HIS FELLOW SOLDIERS. And HE FAILED to lead by example. SHAMEFUL.”
Perhaps forward to CBS…?
The Gotch
“This comment section is not good at swift-boating.”
I should have added, “With the exception of Mr. Gotcha, who is very good at sticking it to ’em.”
Anon
” ‘I should have added, “With the exception of Mr. Gotcha, who is very good at sticking it to ’em.’ ”
Flattery will get you everywhere!
C’mon, Anon, that letter was written in 2018, which was, for those keeping score at home, early in the Trump Presidency; it coming out now means the someone/s in the DNC and Kacklin’ Kamala’s vetting team were asleep at the wheel and committed a gross dereliction of duty.
Lefty wants the air out of this ASAP, but they’ve made absolutely no effort to get out in front of it, feeble attempt by CBS notwithstanding.
The Gotch predicts this will be a huge problem, maybe insurmountable, going forward, and he’ll give better odds than than 50-50 given by OE.
The Gotch
TAMPON TIMMY is a detestable Valor Thievin’ COWARD! IOW, the ideal despicable Lefty.
Heh! Kacklin’ Kamala’s comically inept vetting has supplied an Unforced Error for the ages which sets the stage for a Thomas Eagleton reboot, with the Lefty media (forgive the redundancy) response being MUST SEE T.V. as they make a flaccidly enfeebled attempt to claim It Isn’t What It Is
The Gotch
Ugly, hateful posts, Mr. Gotch. Surely you are better than this.
I would always defend your right to spew this crap, however.
Your only wrong about one thing Anon. Gotch is not better than this. In fact, get ready for worse.
You’re too kind; don’t shoot the messenger, and please feel free to dispute any of these claims.
This is not directed at you Anonymous, but The Gotch always knew that when the person with whom he was mopping the debate floor tried to change the subject, he was racking up points.
Only a truly imbecilic, illiterate moron would try to but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but Truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump on Li’l Timmy’s Stolen Valor, and by golly if that isn’t just the case.
Glass half full?
At least Walz didn’t abandon his family and drink himself to death…because Single Parent Households Are One Of The GREATEST INDICATORS Of An IDIOT’S Future Poverty And Substandard Education.
The Gotch
Now you sound like Hovde. Another GOP loser.
Both Kacklin’ Kamala AND Vance had daddies who abandoned their families, Vance beat the odds without kneepads; most don’t…
The Gotch
How are your bone-spurs feeling today crotch?
Yea, I posted on a couple previous threads how Waltz lied about his service record. Between that and his extreme leftist positions make me think Republican strategists are drooling. Combine that with DEI Harris’s and being a co-conspirator in the great Biden cover-up, no rational person could vote for them. Oh that’s right progressives aren’t rational.
The name is spelled Walz, not “Waltz”. The waltz is a dance popular in the late nineteenth century.
Easy there, cowboy. Simple typo
Walz falsely claimed he carried weapons in war:

It’s a wonderful thing that the NY Post enjoys free speech rights on X. Quite a difference from 4 years ago. Thank you Elon Musk!
I hope Musk buys the New York Times, cleans house of their editorial staff, and replaces them with real journalists who are actually committed to objective truth. And makes the rest sign a public letter of apology for dishonoring their profession.
“I hope Musk buys the New York Times…”
