They need those pro-Hamas votes. Kamala's husband being Jewish is
albatross enough. She couldn't be seen compounding the 'problem'.
Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz as her VP pick, a truly safe pick.

But three major controversies threaten Walz's image as a moderate. Walz
waited
three days before asking for the deployment of the National Guard after Black
Lives Matter protests turned into fiery riots that destroyed hundreds of
businesses in. . . .
I'm not commenting on the rest. I've done a bit of reading on Josh
Shapiro and I've come to like the guy. There were some economic policies
he implemented that I didn't agree with but nothing unusual for a
Democrat. Generally, I liked that he figured out how to work with
Republicans in the state legislature as they either had the majority or
were close to even. Kamala lacks legislative skills and this would have
been important. Also I really wanted the anti-Semites to be pissed off.
Can you comment further on deploying the National Guard? During Lori Lightfoot's administration, there were repeated episodes of large-scale looting and vandalism and some violent crime. There were a few arsons
but it wasn't widespread like the King riots of 1968.
It was nothing compared to other cities.
But we repeatedly had calls to deploy the National Guard, especially in response to increasing violent crime not associated with looting in
other parts of the city.
Why is calling out the National Guard the go-to response for trouble?
They aren't police; they don't investigate crime.
In the post Kent State era, are they now receiving special counter-riot training like some big city police officers receive?
The National Guard, when they aren't deployed during war, have civilian functions related to disaster preparedness. That's what these guys were recruited to do.
Without counter-riot training, I don't want these guys deployed to deal
with riots, getting into an altercation to which they respond poorly,
then finding that they are being sued for a civil rights violation.
Countering riots is the shittiest of all first responder jobs. It's
almost impossible not to club somebody on the head, or shoot him, who it turns out wasn't doing anything violent or was not committing a crime.
Too much "fog of war" is possible when things really get out of hand.

To be fair he didn't fully get that rank, mostly because there were

I haven't read about this. Why wasn't he eligible? Did he need a

the Army. Either way it was apparently something he had started but

Ah it looks like he was supposed to finish additional coursework at
the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy to retain the CSM rank. Since he
didn't do that coursework he was demoted back to SM.
Can't say that I blame him for retiring after 24 years instead of
signing for another term of 2? 4? 6? years.

The wife of Democrat VP-pick Tim Walz said during an interview in 2020 that she kept her windows open for as long as she could so she could smell the burning of tires rioters set on fire during the Minneapolis-area riots in response to the death of George Floyd.
During the 2020 riots, cities like Minneapolis burned, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Gov. Walz has been criticized for his slow response to the destruction and violence by the left-wing protesters.
"We had more sleepless nights during the riots," Gwen Walz told an ABC News affiliate back in July 2020. "I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening."
The clip of Gwen's comments has gone viral in the wake of VP Kamala Harris choosing Walz as her running mate.
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh commented on the clip, writing, "Everything you need to know about leftist elites can be found in this short clip. Tim
Walz's wife sat by the window enjoying the smell of poor neighborhoods burning during the Floyd riots. She did everything but pull out a fiddle."

No, tampons-for-girls was already a thing. He crusaded for giving them

I cited a story for you in the other followup but you didn't read it.
Rep. Sandra Feist, a Democrat from New Brighton who pioneered
the measure, said in January that the associated cost of the
measure would be a "wise investment" because it would keep
students from missing school due to "period poverty."
"One out of every 10 menstruating youth miss school during their
menstruating cycle due to lack of access to menstrual products
and resources," Feist said in a House Education Finance
Committee hearing.
A Republican-backed amendment to add the word "female" to the
bill failed in committee. "Not all students who menstruate are
female," Feist said, persuading committee members to vote "no"
on the amendment.
Feist said some schools have gender-neutral bathrooms. She
acknowledged that female students use menstruation products more
often, but said it is still important to have them in all
bathrooms.

I'm not commenting on the rest. I've done a bit of reading on Josh

were close to even. Kamala lacks legislative skills and this would have
been important. Also I really wanted the anti-Semites to be pissed off.
Can you comment further on deploying the National Guard? During Lori
Lightfoot's administration, there were repeated episodes of large-scale
looting and vandalism and some violent crime. There were a few arsons
but it wasn't widespread like the King riots of 1968.
It was nothing compared to other cities.
But we repeatedly had calls to deploy the National Guard, especially in
response to increasing violent crime not associated with looting in
other parts of the city.
Why is calling out the National Guard the go-to response for trouble?
They aren't police; they don't investigate crime.
No, but they stop the shenanigans cold. But soldiers on every corner in tanks and Humvees with full-auto rifles and the miscreants usually suddenly realize they have other things to do.

activity than a place to sleep and dinner with the family.
The Texas governor's mansion is just a house. The governor's office and staff are in the state capitol building a few blocks away. I volunteered
in the Massachusetts governor's office when I was a kid and it, too, was
in the state capitol, not in the governor's residence. Just two examples.
But regardless, Walz was perfectly happy to live in his personal
residence so obviously it was a viable workaround during the remodeling,
he just wanted the taxpayers to give him $17,000 monthly for doing it. Would the $17,000 somehow expand his house's capacity or something? Was
he suggesting that the taxpayers not only pay to remodel the official residence but to remodel and expand his own residence as well?
If the Minnesota governor's office isn't already in the state capitol or somewhere similar, Walz could easily live in his house while the
official residence was being remodeled and commute to a temporary government office set up for him in a state government building. You
know, like everyone else does. Better that than the taxpayers shell out $17,000/month to him for no discernible reason or public benefit.
These seem to be the facts: Walz was living and conducting business in
the Governor's mansion, which needed remodeling.
He planned to move those activities to a $17k/mo. location, but
ultimately settled on a $4k/mo. one. Afaics, a scandal only for the desperate...

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) signed a law last year that removed language clarifying that pedophiles were excluded from the definition of sexual orientation.
Sporting half-dyed blue hair and a rainbow dress, Finke was also
photographed with his arm around Walz when the governor signed a different law that doubled down on legal transgender medical interventions for
children like hormone treatments and surgeries.
Walz also signed legislation allowing Minnesota to seize custody of a child whose parents refuse to provide "gender affirming care"
and banned "conversion therapy", a vague term often used to dismiss talk therapy wherein mental health professionals help make children comfortable with their biological sex, rather than shunting them towards transgender surgeries and hormone treatments.

As Somali refugees in Minnesota waged gang wars and engaged in child sex trafficking, Governor Tim Walz pushed for even more refugees to be resettled in his state.
"Refugees strengthen our communities. Bringing new cultures and fresh perspectives, they contribute to the social fabric of our state," Walz said in his letter to Pompeo.
But Somali refugees brought more than fresh perspectives to Minnesota. Since at least 2009, members of MinneapolisÆs Somali refugee community have formed gangs along the same clan lines that plunged Somalia into civil war. Members of the gangs-- many of whom fled Somalia to escape clan warfare-- engaged in what appeared to be targeted murders against one another. In 2008 the Minneapolis Police Department created a special Somali Liaison position in an attempt to stem the violence.
In 2012, authorities uncovered a Somali child sex trafficking ring operating out of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as Columbus, Ohio and Nashville, Tennessee. Multiple girls under the age of 14 had been forced into prostitution by three different Somali gangs, resulting in the 30 different defendants-- many of whom were allowed into the United States as refugees-- being charged by federal authorities.
A YouTube personality visited Minneapolis this year to document the gang warfare interviewed a bail bondsman and bounty hunter who said that "Somali gangs are taking over".
During Walz's tenure, Somali migrants in Minnesota defrauded the government out of a quarter of a billion taxpayer dollars intended to feed impoverished children. Nearly 50 defendants created a fraudulent organization called "Feeding Our Future", and multiple subsidiary organizations that defrauded $250 million from a coronavirus relief program. Only $50 million of those funds have been recovered.

Minnesota under Walz is also the state where, in the case of the need to >reduce staff (i.e., fire people) in the public school system, they
changed the rules from "last hired, first fired" to "white teachers and
staff get fired first". That's patently illegal, of course, and violates
the Constitution in about a half-dozen different ways, but it shows you
where Walz's intentions are.
And they changed the rules on punishing students for misbehavior,
requiring teachers and staff to take into consideration a student's race
when meting out discipline. So if a white kid and a black kid commit the
same offense, the black kid is punished more leniently because he has to
live with "structural racism" every day.
Progress!

Very strange - what was the rationale for that?
My only past knowledge of tampons for men was in high school where our basketball team was actually 2 teams - the senior teams and the
'junior varsity' (who usually played their games as the warm up for
the big game) and since the JV players were showering while the top
team was playing and since visiting teams normally changed in the
girls' dressing room, we had a couple of cases of guy buying tampons
from the vending machine and slipping them into the star's (who later
played pro football at 6'8" 275 lbs) equipment bag and waiting for the
fun when he changed after the game.

with all the 21st century security features built in for 1/4 the cost
of the reno. Meanwhile Justin Trudeau has been living in the
caretaker's bungalow close by still within the security perimeter.
Note that unlike the White House and #10 Downing Street, his home is
strictly a home and does not contain his main office)

My immediate reaction to that statement was "What the h*ll does he
think the whole furor over the ACLU supporting the Nazis at Skokie, IL
was all about?!?"
Does Walz actually think they should have been arrested on their
march?
Do you actually think anyone gives a shit what Walz actually thinks?
LOL! So in the space of a week, we've gone from, "Walz is an awesome
choice about whom I've heard nothing negative and will add a lot to the Kammie's ticket" to "Who cares what he thinks and believes and what his record as governor has been? He's a Democrat and that should be the
