The Star Tribune (whose publisher was formerly in Walz’s cabinet) along with most of the media is totally distorting this controversy in order to give cover. There are a few separate controversies to understand here.

▪️The stolen valor issue isn’t about his retirement. It has to do with several instances he presented himself as being in war when he wasn’t. Particularly the quote, “the weapons of war, I carried in war.” This was a quote used and highlighted by the Harris campaign! Clearly he was presenting himself as a combat veteran in order to push gun control. For the Strib and other media to ignore this is totally dishonest.

▪️The issue with his retirement is a bit more complex. The media is pushing the fact that his unit was notified of deployment after he put in his retirement as proof he didn’t dodge. But leadership typically know about deployments way in advance of official notification. So it’s likely Walz knew prior to his retirement. But no proof that I know yet.

▪️Adding to this is his going to training to become a command sergeant major right before his retirement. To check the box of reaching that position, but then retiring before actually utilizing it in any way. And potentially avoiding deployment to boot as a leader. This isn’t the smoking gun like the stolen valor thing, but might become so if people dig into it.

▪️Imo, this is going to be a big problem for Walz as, while the media will try to cover for him, people will keep pushing this and potentially force him to answer the unforgivable sin of why he pretended to be in war. For those like me, who didn’t serve, it’s a little bit inside baseball, but veterans gossip like crazy and aren’t likely to let it go.

As with the leftist freak out over “banned books” this is not banning books, it’s still easy to get Harry Potter and bookstores should be able to limit whatever books they want for whatever reason. But not only does it show a double standard, the rationale is far less justifiable than removing certain content from school libraries. At least there the justification was the content of certain books are inappropriate for children, clearly not every book should be available in a school library. Here, there’s no argument about the content they just don’t like the author’s politics!

Because news came out about his letter to the FBI, revealing he was a nutcase. The letter was rambling and incoherent, claiming he was trained by the US military off the books, and that Walz had instructed him to kill Amy Klobuchar so he could run for Senate. None of it made any sense (Walz is not running for Senate) and none of the assassinations made any sense, even in a diabolical way.

Nearly all of his hit list was Democrats (including Walz) and abortion clinics, but he was supposedly working for Walz?! Plus, one of the guys he killed wasn’t even on his list, and others were no longer in office or deceased. None of it makes sense from any coherent angle.

Basically, it appears the guy was mentally ill and neither the left or right can use the incident to push their agendas anymore, so the story was dropped.

This is so dumb. First, this means LA began as Spanish land founded to support Spanish missions (i.e. colonialism). Which contradicts their entire premise. But the reality is that Los Angeles is a quintessential American city.

▪️When the US acquired California in the 1840s, LA was a small town of less than 2,000 people. It was basically nothing. It became large only after the gold rush and the railroads completed in the 1870-80s, which brought thousands of new settlers and a booming commercial center.

▪️But LA had a major issue limiting its growth, no water. It wasn’t until Mulholland found a water source and built an aqueduct down from Northern California that LA had the infrastructure to grow into a major city.

▪️Then, a combination of oil, real estate and the film industry caused it to boom in the early 1900s. Post WWII, industries like aerospace continued its spectacular growth. Calling this “Mexican land” is a brain dead take. Neither the Mexicans, Spanish nor ...
