The great anticipated naming of ‘Kackling Kamala’s’ choice of vice-president came about as quite a surprise to many. As she was trying to paint herself as a “moderate” ( a fool's errand), she chose a far-left Marxist Governor of Minnesota named Tim Walz of Minnesota. That choice left no doubt what kind of governance a Harris/Walz Administration would pursue if elected.
Even the “Democratic Socialists of America” have endorsed the Democrat ticket, which leaves no doubt about the directions we are headed for if they get elected. Governor Walz is considered to be a clone of that other Marxist/Socialist of California, Governor Gavin Newsom.
Just a few weeks ago, the Democrats and a fawning media, were kvetching about the poor debate performance and falling poll numbers of their present candidate for reelection, Sleepy Joe Biden. What could they do to stop the bleeding? Well, it seems the power brokers of the Democrat Party and some wealthy influential donors had to do something to change direction the party was headed on before the August convention came about. What happened (as reported) was that the trifecta of Democrat “big wigs” of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, gave the cognitively challenged Joe Biden an offer he couldn't refuse, either leave with dignity or the 25th Amendment would be introduced, and other perks would be withdrawn if he didn't comply with their “request” for him to step down. He grudgingly accepted their proposal.
Imagine after 3 ½ years of obvious cognitive problems, it finally came down to a “coup” (by his friends) to get rid of Sleepy Joe. All the fake and phoney covering up of an incompetent president, by both the Democrats and a media, it all came down to this.
As a result, who then would replace Sleepy Joe at the head of the ticket? Joe immediately, as he stepped down, endorsed his Vice-President, Kamala Harris, a politician with an even lower approval rating than Biden himself. As Kamala was introduced as the new head of the Democrat Party and its new standard bearer for president, a 180 degree turnabout occurred within the Democrat Party and the compliant media, in that Kamala was now the next best thing than the invention of sliced bread. She was crowned the next Joan of Arc or Mother Teresa and a complete makeover was begun to try to clean up her radical past before she was presented to the electorate as the possible next president.
Now with the nomination in hand, Kamala Harris had to name a running mate. Out of a slew of Democrat politicians, all white people as opposed to a DEI person, she chose a radical far-left governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz. He might even be more left-wing than Kamala herself, but together they make up the most left-wing presidential ticket in our history. They both are in favor of these radical ideas and proposals. They both favor open borders. They both favor “Defund the Police” and letting criminals free on no or low bail (so they can commit further crimes while free).
They both want to impose higher taxes on all of the citizens to help pay for their profligate spending on the ‘Green New Deal’ and social programs.
They both have shown disdain for Israel and its problems of self-survival as they embrace the thoughts and ideas of the progressive left and their anti-Israel protests around the country. In fact, as they proclaim that the Republicans are “anti-democracy”, Tim Walz instituted a plan in Minnesota, during the pandemic, to have citizens “snitch” on their neighbors and businesses who were not complying with Tim Walz's mandated lock downs. That's democracy, Tim Walz style?
The Harris/Walz ticket put up by the Democrats, is not the answer to our problems, in fact they would exacerbate our problems further. By choosing Tim Walz as her running mate, Harris is projecting the failed policies of Walz in Minnesota with the failed policies of his clone in California, Gavin Newsom.
The next two months will be the determining factor of whether we will regain our reputation in the world as that “Shining light upon the hill” or will we continue on the road to a failed democratic republic, as our founding father, Benjamin Franklin once proclaimed, “We have given you a republic, if you can keep it”. Cast your vote in November for sanity and competence and vote for Trump/Vance as if your life depended on it, because it does.
