  1. Based on what I remember about Gov. Walz (from his role in the prosecution of Derek Chauvin) and what I’ve learned about him in the days since his name was mentioned as a possible VP pick, I am thrilled that he has been chosen to be running mate in 2024!!!

  2. Tim Walz of the People’s Republic of Minnesota will be an excellent choice to advance the socialist agenda. Kudos to Ms Harris for choosing him as her running mate as he will reinforce her policies and assist in bringing about the changes in our nation as spoken of by Yuri Bezmenov. Mr Bezmenov has several videos on you tube based upon interviews from 1984. How ironic…

    • For those inclined not to accept kneejerk, dismissive and antedeluvian labelling of Governor Walz without investigating his record and deciding for themselves whether his “socialist agenda” aligns with their views of the role of state government, here is a summary of what he considers to be his signature accomplishments as Minnesota’s governor. The link is to the governor’s official website and thus can be presumed to accurately reflect Walz’s positions on issues ranging from public safety to the environment. Inform yourself and vote accordingly.
