What an outstanding choice for Kamala’s VP. After having lived in Minnesota for 40+ years, can say Gov. Walz has been the state’s best governor in history! Smart, level headed, grounded, common sense, empathetic, a family man, with lots of experience… all things we need in a VP… and if circumstances were to arise, truly someone qualified move to move from VP to the Presidency. But most importantly… Walz is is driven by a positive vision for all Americans… as opposed to the GOP candidates who are fueled by anger, grievance, hatred, misogyny and racism. The contrast/choice could not be more clear. Truly a great day for the country… better days are ahead for all Americans!

The guy actually gives a shit about people. What a novel idea.

Lort knows we don't have that from a single elected politician. Still waiting for a response from Thune, Rounds and Johnson regarding an issue I wrote to them about in November of 2023 regarding insurance de-regulation that has cost me over $250k in the last 3 years, but they are more worried about a female boxer from another country and those god damn tiktokers

The writer forgot to list Noem's age in this piece. It really has to burn Noem that while she kept kissing Trump's ring, she ended up with nothing. However, it doesn't bother her at all that she accomplished absolutely nothing in Congress and Walz did.

So by labeling everyone a racist you know that makes you a bigot right?

No, it does not. Trump is a Racist. If it is True, it is Not Bigotry. Trump is White Majority, Rich. He is not a Minority of Any Kind. He is The PROBLEM.

A great pick! And, he’s not a dog killer like a neighboring governor.

It was predictable that our Governor would speak poorly about Minnesota's governor and the Democratic party's VP candidate because she has been licking Trump's boots for years. She won't step away from Trump even though he has lost the few marbles he has ever had and even though she was not chosen as his VP candidate. However, John Thune's drum beating for Trump is more disappointing. Thune knows how incapable Trump is and that he is a terrible choice for the country. Nevertheless, he bows to his master the Liar in Chief. Why? Because he's afraid to oppose him and risk not having enough support to get the leadership role. It's all about personal gain, the country be damned. That shows none of these three deserve to be in any elected office. We should send them home. Let's elect people that put the nation first, not their party and not themselves.

Another Stolen Valor candidate. His official retirement rank was Master Sergeant not Sergeant Major. He sewed it on and never completed the requisite courses to able to retire with it. In fact when his unit was called up he left them. He didn’t want to honor his commitment or take care of his troops while they were deployed. Absolutely no honor.

You're a LIAR on a global scale. Each of us joins and then retires on a personal scale. The Army and the nation move on regardless of our personal timeline. The Army and the nation's train rolls on, with or without us. Walz gave up his hearing in his service. Walz extended once for six years with a hearing waiver. Walz needn't extend twice to run himself to total deafness to satisfy your nonsense.

Walz served as a provisional Command Sergeant Major. That's good enough for me that he earned the title (did the job), though he missed the gate for the retirement pay. Perhaps you heard of "General Custer" - a mere lieutenant colonel in permanent rank. I served with a brilliant permanent Brigadier General (one-star general) as a provisional (acting) Major General (two star general) as a division commander. After a wildly successful full tour as a division commander - he retired as a one star. Please return to your bar stool where you pretend you solve the nation's and military's problems.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! ThIs is researchable on a FOIA request for his DD-214. If I remember correctly, he was attempting to earn the difficult - and RESPECTED rank of COMMAND Sergeant Major - the highest unit enlisted rank which can be earned.

It's been said that he "cares about his people" To which I must ask "what did he do to help all the businesses that were damaged/destroyed during the riots in Minneapolis? Has he done ANYTHING to help them recover?

When he enlisted, he took an Oath "to protect and defend the United State from all enemies, foreign and domestic". ALL of us who served our country and communities in one form or another also took that Oath. The first time I did was in May 1964 at the Naval Training Center, San Diego and again in 1968 when I reenlisted in Saigon.

The next two times were in 2008 and 2010 after being elected to my small town council.

In all cases, I was not relieved of that Oath when I was retired or left office.

If he and she are elected in November, they will have to take that same Oath. ..the question is..... WILL THEY HONOR THEIR OATHS???

I don't know about all y'all, but based on their actions, I adamantly say they won't!

You're incorrect on a global scale. Three wars, a tinderbox of an economy, raging jnflation, looming recession and a porous borders do not engender themselves to freedom as characteristics which allow a people to be free.

You sound like someone in the left. It's richly ironic that you're promulgating lies about authoritarian dictatorship when the left created the cancel culture and, as a practice, oppressed dissenting opinions with ad hominem attacks as well as violence in act.

It's good you chimed in here. We know who's voting for them and we can learn from your posts what your objections are.

Not surprised. He's far more leftist than one sees on the surface. Here are the facts about how socialist he really is:

Breitbart? Really? "Here are the facts"???? Who even reads that stuff much less sends links to it?

Breitbart News Network is an American far-right syndicated news, opinion, and commentary website founded in mid-2007 by American conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart. -Wikipedia.

This race will come down to whether the American people will recognize false freedom couched in terms of "greater freedom (i.e., a wolf in sheep's clothing). For example: this morning, JD vance's wife "clarified" what he meant to say: "My husband only meant to insult people who actively choose not to have kids, not people who are trying, but are unsuccessful!". The far right wants us to be free to do what THEY think we should do. Wouldn't it be better to be free to do what WE OURSELVES believe we should do (unless and until it infringes unlawfully on the rights of others in our society).

The threat of an authoritarian regime in the office of the Presidency, especially one who wants us to all do what he wants, should be of great concern to all.

You don't see it do you? As soon as points are brought up to counter your politician's belief you resort to ad hominem attacks. Is it because you don't want to have a discussion or you're not capable of defending your candidate without degrading someone who opposes you?
