So much for thorough vetting of one's VP choice... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOMBSHELL: Tim Walz's Former Unit Commander Goes on CNN, Delivers Devestating Testimony In a devastating development, current Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz's former unit commander appeared on CNN and completely blew up the scandal surrounding the abandoning of his unit before its deployment to Iraq. For days, the mainstream press has claimed that Walz did not know about the deployment before deciding to retire early and run for Congress. Command Seargent Major Doug Julin, who was the now-Minnesota governor's direct report, went through the timeline with Laura Coates. Not only did Walz know about the deployment, but he had committed to go. It was only after he went around Julin that he was able to secure his retirement, leaving his unit hamstrung just months before they shipped out.

Journalists Confused By Presidential Candidate Standing In Front Of Cameras And Answering Questions [...] "What… what strange practice is this?" one journalist was heard asking as he observed the surreal event of Trump answering a reporter's question. "Let me get this straight… this guy is running for president, and he's actually standing there in front of cameras and he's… fielding questions from the media? And he wasn't given the questions in advance? And he's not reciting scripted answers from a teleprompter? Are we sure this is ok? It feels like we're doing something wrong."

Trump Just Said Out Loud What Everybody in Washington Is Afraid To I've said it out loud. I'm sure you've said it out loud. But it's one thing for a private citizen like you or me to say it — and it's quite another for a former and probably future president of the United States to say it out loud. In public. On camera. For the whole world to hear and see. It was a glorious thing to say, too — and for more than just the obvious reason that it happens to be true. But I'll get to that in a moment. "The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden," former President Donald Trump told reporters during a sometimes testy press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

Vetting Isn't Just Looking For Someone Not Jewish, Democrats The week of Walz continues, and despite being tapped to be the vice presidential nominee, it hasn't been a great one for America's newest dad, as regime media wants you to call him.

Me, too. So do I, and it's strange that he didn't say whether he did.

I heard her interview on Sean Hannity's radio show today. The trouble started on July 23 -- the day after Bidementia dropped out (so yes, Bill, your post belongs in this thread) -- and both Tulsi and her husband are affected. (Kommie's retribution for being barbecued in the 2020 debate by Tulsi, anyone think?) They each get "SSSS" on their boarding passes, and they can't check in on-line. The searches involve patdowns of every inch of packed clothing, complete inspections of electronic items and phones, personal patdowns of all bodily areas, and closure of one full TSA lane so that 4 agents and a supervisor can perform the deeds. These inspections can take 45 minutes to an hour, which is not fun when trying to make one's flight. Tulsi has retained a freedoms-type law firm to fight this, and she said that she'll take it all the way to SCOTUS.

Because you're not visiting them in alphabetical order? Seriously, how come why not?
