Tim Walz Lied About His DWI Arrest.

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), Kamala Harris‘s 2024 running mate, reportedly lied to voters during his initial run for Congress regarding his 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving. During the 2006 election, Walz’s campaign claimed that his failed field sobriety test and subsequent arrest over a decade earlier resulted from a misunderstanding due to his hearing loss from National Guard service, claiming that Walz drove himself to the station.

However, the recent release of court transcripts reveals the then-Nebraska resident admitted before a judge to have been drinking when a state trooper stopped him for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone. A blood test revealed a blood alcohol level surpassing the legal limit.

Contrary to Walz‘s claim that he drove to the state police station himself, the police report shows a state trooper transported the 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential nominee to a hospital for the blood test and subsequently to the Dawes County Jail, a fact corroborated by the Nebraska State Patrol. The Harris-Walz campaign has not publicly addressed the newest revelations.

Walz’s attempt to obfuscate the details of his 1995 arrest is just one of several instances in which the Minnesota Democrat has either withheld or embellished aspects of his political and personal life. The National Pulse reported earlier this week that Walz was slammed by the former commander of his Minnesota National Guard battalion over his claims that he achieved the rank of command sergeant major.

Lieutenant Colonel John Kolb says the Democrat “did not earn the rank,” and that his early retirement—which allowed him to avoid being deployed to Iraq—improved his unit by making way for superior leadership.

Here’s Where Tim Walz’s Minnesota Ranks for Businesses (It’s Not Good).

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) is slamming Kamala Harris‘s 2024 running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), for economic policies he claims have harmed the state. Emmer asserts that Walz’s leadership has driven Minnesota toward economic trouble, emphasizing that high tax rates under Walz’s administration have exacerbated financial strains for residents and businesses.

According to Emmer, Minnesota now has one of the highest tax rates in the country, which has been further increased under Walz’s governorship. Emmer contends that Walz has pushed the state “on a course to economic disaster” by mishandling the state’s budget surplus and imposing additional taxes. During Walz‘s tenure as governor, Minnesota depleted a $17.5 billion surplus and introduced $8 billion in new taxes and fees.

Data from the Tax Foundation—cited by Emmer—shows that Minnesota ranks among the worst states for business taxes, holding the 44th position out of 50. Emmer suggests that this situation has resulted in residents and businesses leaving the state in significant numbers. The National Pulse previously reported that under Walz, Minnesota has only grown at half the rate of the Biden-Harris economy at large. Meanwhile, energy costs in the state have soared—with industrial electric rates, specifically, being nearly 30 percent higher than the national average.

Employment growth has also lagged under Walz, with Minnesota’s job growth at 0.5 percent from January 2019 to June 2024, compared to the national increase of 5.8 percent over the same period. Emmer argues that Walz’s economic agenda—if applied nationally—could hinder the U.S. economy.

Congress is Investigating Kamala’s VP Nominee for Chinese Communist Ties.

The House Oversight Committee has initiated an investigation into Kamala Harris‘s 2024 vice presidential running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), for alleged connections to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) affiliated entities. A letter authored by Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and addressed to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray revealed the existence of the inquiry.

According to Comer, his committee—as part of its “government-wide investigation into the Chinese Communist Party’s political warfare operations against America and the response from federal agencies—has begun looking into Gov. Walz. The letter asks Wray and the FBI to provide any information regarding the Minnesota Democrat’s connections with Chinese entities or officials. Comer also asks that any “warnings or advice the FBI may have given to Governor Walz about U.S. political figures being targeted by or recruited for CCP influence operations” be provided to the committee.

The Oversight Chairman explains the FBI briefed his committee on Chinese influence operations and political warfare against the United States in mid-April and again in mid-July. During those briefings, the FBI detailed activities and connections with Chinese officials and entities that might raise concerns. Comer notes that Gov. Walz appears to have engaged in the very activities the FBI briefers said they investigate.

TARGET OF CHINESE INFLUENCE?

Comer revealed that the governor’s interactions could place him within the CCP‘s strategic “elite capture” framework, designed to sway influential American figures to further CCP interests. Specific activities during Walz‘s teaching career in the early 1990s, such as organizing China trips for students, are under scrutiny.

During his teaching tenure, Walz formed Educational Travel Adventures, Inc., a company that facilitated student trips to China. The firm was reportedly dissolved soon after he assumed congressional office in 2007. Reports also indicate that Walz has made approximately 30 trips to China and served as a fellow at Macau Polytechnic University, recognized for its connections to the CCP.

Comer underscored Walz‘s involvement in the 2019 U.S. China Peoples Friendship Association’s National Convention, where he spoke alongside a representative of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, an entity flagged by the State Department for attempting to influence state and local leaders. Additionally, Comer noted Walz’s meeting with Consul General Zhao Jian in March 2024 to discuss China-U.S. relations. He cited Walz’s public stances that reflect a concerning view of the Chinese government’s policies and human rights record.

Obama ‘Hope’ Poster Artist Humiliated After Unveiling Kamala Version.

The artist who designed the famous Barack Obama “Hope” poster is receiving a flood of criticism after he unveiled a variation with 2024 Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris that features the text “Forward.” Shepard Fairey, the founder of the OBEY Clothing company, unveiled the new poster in a late Thursday post on Instagram, with users immediately panning the updated design and Democratic candidate.

“‘We are not going back.'” These words from Kamala Harris summarize the moment we are in, and in order not to go back, we must go FORWARD!” Fairey wrote in his post, adding: “While we have not achieved all the goals we might be seeking, we are making progress – all in the face of expanding threats and regressive political adversaries.⁠”

‘OBEY THE PROPAGANDA.’

However, Fairey’s followers on Instagram do not appear to share his enthusiasm. The criticism was almost immediate, eventually forcing the left-wing artist to shut down the ability of users to comment on the post. A bulk of users blasted Fairey as a “sellout” and accused him of supporting a “genocide” in Gaza due to the Biden-Harris government’s tacit backing of Israel‘s war against the Hamas terrorist group.

“You mean that Kamala who is killing people in Ukraine and Gaza?” one user wrote. Another accused Fairey of betraying his radical art, writing: “I mean you do realize she supports the continued funding of an ongoing Gen0cide right Shepard? Right? Seems like you’re missing the point of your own art.”

In addition to progressive outrage over the Gaza war, users also blasted the conflation of Obama‘s progressive politics with Harris, who is a former prosecutor. “Forward in condoning genocide? Forward in ruining people’s lives by eternally hailing them for petty marijuana charges?” another post reads before continuing: “Forward in being screwing the voters out of actually being able to choose a candidate?”

The user added: “Her past is atrocious, her term as VP was atrocious, and her future is atrocious.”

Kamala Says She Wants to Cap Prices, But There Is A BIG Catch.

Kamala Harris is set to announce a proposal on Friday that would bar what she claims is grocery price gouging by American corporations. While on the surface, the Harris proposal might have some political appeal, the history of attempts to directly cap and regulate prices—both in the United States and abroad—has not yielded the results politicians have promised.

The Harris campaign and progressive activists have embraced the grocery price cap idea after struggling to shed voter negativity toward the Biden-Harris government’s handling of the economy. Under Harris’s watch, rampant inflation caused by a series of major Biden spending bills saw grocery prices spike by upwards of 30 percent. However, tackling these increases through government-mandated prices isn’t the solution, many economists argue.

In 1971, then-President Richard Nixon enacted price and wage restrictions, which—along with the abandonment of the Breton Woods monetary system—resulted in the “Nixon shock.” The aftermath saw the U.S. dollar plunge by nearly a third of its value during the 1970s. Compounded by former President Carter‘s loose fiscal policies, stagflation crippled the U.S. economy throughout the decade.

Additionally, the dollar volatility forced the Japanese central bank to directly intervene in its monetary system to prevent the Yen from appreciating against the dollar, which would have triggered a carry trade unwind. Interestingly, a similar scenario already resulted in a massive drop in Japanese markets last week—with cross-contagion sparking ongoing volatility in U.S. markets as well.

Aside from the Nixon experience, the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez‘s 2003 attempt to enact price controls resulted in bread lines and civil unrest in the country. After Chavez extended the price controls directly to farmers and the value of agricultural goods sold to supermarkets, the Venezuelan farming industry nearly collapsed—and resulted in starvation.

ICYMI: Taliban Parades U.S. Equipment Abandoned by Biden-Harris.

The Taliban is parading the American military hardware abandoned to them by the Biden-Harris government. The parade included U.S. military vehicles, helicopters, and weapons and was held at Bagram airbase, which former President Donald J. Trump had planned to keep in American hands following an orderly withdrawal from the country.

According to a report from the Department of Defense Inspector General, the Biden-Harris government left behind equipment valued at $7.12 billion in its botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

The equipment inventory left behind includes nearly $1 billion worth of aircraft, over 40,000 military vehicles, more than 300,000 weapons, and tens of millions of dollars worth of ammunition. Almost all the communications equipment provided to Western-backed Afghan forces and advanced electronics are also under Taliban control.

The U.S. withdrawal has been criticized for its chaotic execution and impact on America’s reputation. Analysts argue the Biden-Harris regime’s perceived weakness may have influenced Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine six months later.

During the Afghanistan withdrawal, a terrorist attack in Kabul killed 13 U.S. service members.

Former President Donald J. Trump has described the fiasco as a humiliation for America, paving the way for not just the Ukraine war but the later Hamas terror raids on Israel. He argues these global crises would not have arisen under a reelected Trump administration.

Biden-Harris Regime Released Illegal Wanted for 23 Murders.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended an illegal alien wanted for 23 murders in his home country. The Peruvian gang leader, identified as 38-year-old Gianfranco, was captured on Wednesday in Endicott, New York.

Torres-Navarro had been let loose among American citizens by the Biden-Harris government on May 16 after illegally crossing into Texas. Peruvian authorities say he is the leader of the criminal organization “Los Killers,” which specializes in contract killings and extortion.

“It should alarm every American that a Peruvian gang leader, who has murdered 23 people, crossed our border and was released into the country. The Biden-Harris Administration’s open border policies are terrorizing our communities,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

ICE field officer director Thomas P. Brophy said of the arrest: “Gianfranco Torres-Navarro poses a significant threat to our communities, and we won’t allow New York to be a safe haven for dangerous noncitizens.”

However, many Democrat officials in the Empire State refuse to cooperate with ICE. New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Patrol John Chell recently expressed frustration at dealing with two migrants accused of raping a woman in Brooklyn. One of them had been released from jail despite a previous arrest for a shelter rape.

Mayor Eric Adams blamed the city’s sanctuary laws for the situation, saying, “Laws do not allow us to coordinate with ICE. That’s the law. And, you know I’m not happy about that.”

In 2021, Adams vowed New York would “remain a sanctuary city” under his watch. He also praised Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for blocking the completion of former President Donald J. Trump’s border wall, making it easier for criminal aliens to enter the U.S.

Biden Says Kamala Shares Blame for His Terrible Economic Record, Rising Recession Fears.

Former Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who was forced out of the 2024 presidential race in July following a disastrous debate with former President Donald J. Trump, appears unconcerned about helping his replacement, Vice President Kamala Harris, to win in November. On Thursday, Biden was caught on camera outside the White House—en route to a campaign event for Harris in Maryland—and asked about the new candidate’s attempts to distance herself from his economic record.

“How much does it bother you that Vice President Harris might soon, for political reasons, start to distance herself from your economic [record]?” a reporter asked Biden. The 81-year-old Democrat responded: “She’s not going to.”

The Harris campaign has been attempting to distance itself from the Biden-Harris government’s high-inflation economic record since the two Democrats took office in 2021.

Harris claims she will now tackle inflation and reduce prices—which saw historic increases under the Biden-Harris government. Political observers have noted that Harris is almost acting as if she’s never met Joe Biden, whom she’s served as vice president for the last three-and-a-half years.

THE BIDEN-HARRIS ECONOMY.

Before exiting the presidential race, Biden faced strong political headwinds among voters for his handling of the U.S. economy. Under the Biden-Harris government, the growth in net worth of American households lagged far behind growth under President Trump.

Opinion polling in April showed that over 50 percent of Americans rated the Biden-Harris economy as “poor,” and 84 percent said their financial situation would remain the same or worsen under another four years with a Democrat in the White House.

Meanwhile, rampant inflation—spurred by the Biden-Harris government’s out-of-control spending—saw prices rapidly rise, making everything from housing to groceries unaffordable for millions of Americans. The National Pulse reported in May that the cost of menu items at McDonald’s has risen 40 percent since 2019.

Even more concerning is a study indicating that the “American Dream” largely became unaffordable under Biden and Harris. Those wishing to live a standard American lifestyle must now earn over $100,000 in all 50 states. In at least 29 states, individuals must aim to earn over $150,000 to maintain a comfortable standard of living.

Americans’ economic struggles under the Biden-Harris government have also sparked renewed recession fears. Market volatility and worrying financial indicators have led some analysts to believe the U.S. has entered or will soon enter a severe economic downturn.

Kamala’s Democrats Would Be ‘Unrecognizable’ to John and Bobby Kennedy: RFK Jr.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is signaling he will not be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris at any point. He insists her Democratic Party “would be unrecognizable” to his father, Robert ‘Bobby’ Kennedy Sr., and uncle, President John F. Kennedy. “I cannot reconcile it with my values,” he says.

“The Democratic Party of RFK [Sr.] and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion,” Kennedy warns in a statement posted on social media. “Kennedy Democrats were anti-war,” he continues, adding: “Kamala’s [party] is riddled with neocon warmongers.”

RFK Jr. contrasts the Democrats of old, as he sees them, with today’s Democrats and with Harris’s personal politics.

“My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites,” he says, referring to Joe Biden’s replacement by Harris as the Democratic nominee without a single primary vote and the politically motivated prosecutions of former President Donald J. Trump, which he opposes.

RFK also accuses Harris of spending “years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief,” in reference to the near-certainty the Vice President knew about Biden’s cognitive impairment before his disastrous debate against Trump.

“I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her,” RFK Jr. concludes.

ENDORSING TRUMP.

A leaked call between Kennedy and Trump following the latter’s near-assassination showed Trump was interested in giving him a role in his administration, likely investigating vaccine safety.

Reports indicate RFK was considering endorsing Trump to secure this role. However, the Trump camp was concerned about the propriety of appearing to secure someone’s endorsement by offering them a job.

“I am willing to talk to anybody from either political party who wants to talk about children’s health and how to end the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy said of these talks in July.

“I have a lot of respect for President Trump for reaching out to me. Nobody from the DNC, high or low, has ever reached out to me in 18 months. Instead, they have allocated millions to try to disrupt my campaign,” he added.

POLITICO: Walz Refuses to Provide Critical Info on Military Service, War Dodging.

Establishment media outlet POLITICO admits Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), Kamala Harris‘s running mate, is refusing to disclose when he asked to leave the National Guard. Walz took early retirement shortly before his unit deployed to Iraq, and unearthed press releases from the time suggest his claims he did not know about the looming deployment are untrue.

“Walz has not publicly provided one key detail about his retirement—namely the specific date that he officially requested to leave the service,” reports Ben Kesling, himself a Marine veteran. “That information would allow the public to know if his unit was aware of a forthcoming deployment at the time he submitted paperwork to leave the military. Walz’s staff did not provide that date when asked for it by POLITICO,” he confirms.

In an article comparing the service records of Walz and former President Donald J. Trump‘s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, Kesling acknowledges Vance, who deployed to Iraq as a U.S. Marine, has been forthright about his service.

On the other hand, he reluctantly concedes that Walz has misrepresented his service. He notes that the Minnesota Democrat, who deployed to Europe in support of operations in Afghanistan but never to a combat zone, has “nodded along” when others have inaccurately described him as having deployed to Afghanistan.

STOLEN VALOR.

Kesling also acknowledges “both sides of the political spectrum seem to agree” that Walz “claim[ed] too much” when he referred to “weapons of war, that I carried in war” during an anti-gun rights speech, having never been deployed to a war zone.

Walz also now admits to being “imprecise” when he claimed to be a “retired command sergeant major,” as he never earned the rank before retiring.

Lieutenant Colonel John Kolb, a former commander of Walz‘s battalion, has said Walz’s attempts to “glom onto the title” of command sergeant major are an “affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps” and that Walz’s early retirement made way for better leadership in his unit.
