Tampon Tim & Fighting Mirages
“The enemy isn't a man with a rusted out AK47 with a towel wrapped around him in the Middle East. It's a white suburban woman with an SSRI prescription, a liberal arts degree and too much time on her hands” - Author Unknown
It’s been a ‘weird’ few weeks.
We’ve journeyed through mass cognitive dissonance and the oddity of watching a Clueless Cruella transform into Cinderella overnight through the aggressive use of media propaganda, astroturfing, memory holing and poll tampering to complete the most abrupt and radical Total Makeover in the history of mass media.
How the least popular VP in history with a 28% approval rating (even worse than Dick Cheney) and a Greatest Bloopers highlight reel anytime she opens her mouth who has overseen some of the worst inflation rates and the most significant surge in illegal immigration in our nation's extensive history, is now suddenly being portrayed as Wonder Woman is downright…weird. 🤔
But that’s not the ‘weird’ I’m referring to.
I’m talking about the chief attack line from the DNC front office and their media handmaidens that JD Vance and Republicans are ‘weird.’
Naturally, Democrats find Republicans 'weird'—they’re baffled by low gas prices, perplexed by minimal inflation, and startled by broad tax cuts. A secure border? Outlandish to them! The idea of protecting unborn lives? Utterly foreign. Steering clear of foreign wars? Inconceivable. Expressing patriotism? Unheard of. Prioritizing Americans? Preposterous!
In Kamala Harris's California, these concepts might as well be from another planet—but guess what? Sane people and hopefully most readers of this letter embrace and champion these ideals proudly.
Having said that, we’ve seen the Kamala/Walz campaign climb to even or ahead in some polls and reach a veritable draw in the online betting sites.
Through a flick of the corrupt liberal media’s wand, literally overnight the Invisible Woman has morphed into America’s Darling.
In light of the above, you have to ask the question, “Is the average American that uninformed or are they really that stupid?”
Sadly, the answer is probably ‘both.’
It’s tough to find a defensible explanation how half the nation could observe the carnage of the last 4 years - the runaway inflation, the 15 million illegals flooding the border, the spiking violent crime, the dalliance with World War 3 and foreign wars, the Mengele-like embrace of mandates and child mutilation….and all the other lovely features of the Biden-Harris Administration accelerating the collapse of the Republic.
And yet, here we are.
About four weeks ago, following the Biden debate and a Trump assassination attempt, we seemed poised for an electoral landslide—a critical event now starkly absent from public discourse, ostensibly erased by the media. This striking omission, which by all accounts should dominate front-page news daily, illustrates a glaring and apparent conspiracy.
There has been a conspicuous silence from major agencies: no press conference from the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, or the Secret Service. Furthermore, key details about the shooter, including ballistic information, remain undisclosed.
The Regime and their henpicked press have successfully memory holed the entire event to such a degree that close to 33% of Democrats don’t even believe Trump was shot.
The Regime sacrificed a single scalp to the Cover Up Gods.
Despite overwhelming evidence suggesting the involvement of multiple shooters and a scenario seemingly orchestrated to undermine Secret Service effectiveness and increase the likelihood of a successful assassination, the compliance of the media has ensured that these critical issues remain unexplored. No challenging questions are asked, and the press remains disengaged, showing a concerning lack of scrutiny in this matter.
On the bright side, the Harris campaign seems to have made their first big policy choice by selecting Tim Walz as VP and not surprisingly, it’s their first big mistake as well.
If you believe the Regime propaganda and MSM spin, Walz is a ‘folksy’ midwestern Dad, a gun owner, decorated military vet and all around good guy father figure.
The reality is Walz is a left-wing loon and fraud, and it’s remarkable how many people ignore facts and their own eyes to buy into this BS.
On the campaign trial, he’s gotten mileage (with a huge assist from glowing profiles from the media ignoring his past) from his “Mind your own damn business!” stump speeches embracing this never heard before ‘Midwestern slogan’.
But on what planet can any semi-conscious person fairly call Walz the ‘mind your own business’ candidate?
He made it a crime if you smoke mango flavored vapes, or if you drink raw milk, or go outside without a mask or gather in groups bigger than 3 people during Covid.
He’s an anti-1st Amendment crackpot who wants to cancel free speech, a Stasi-level Covid enforcer who set up a hotline for neighbors to snitch on each other if they failed to wear a mask or had people over for dinner, and an ardent defender of child mutilation and denier of parental rights.
And most importantly, he’s guilty of Stolen Valor.
The word "valor" conjures up images of bravery in the face of incredible danger — a description well-suited for service members. But did you know that valor can be stolen?
The Stolen Valor Act is meant to help protect service members and their reputations and identities.
Stolen valor is essentially a lie. It involves falsely claiming military service, rank, or recognition.
Not only is it a morally abhorrent offense, but it’s actually a Federal crime (certain states criminalize it as well).
Walz is guilty of multiple offenses of stolen valor on multiple occasions.
Here’s a brief diagram of his criminal and ethical failings.
On repeated occasions, Walz bragged that he was a Command Sergeant Major and that he fought in the Great War on Terror (GWOT).
The reality is, Walz’s actual rank is Sergeant Master and he never fought in a war anywhere.
There are multiple videos of him lying about his rank and where he claims he was an artilleryman or carried weapons of war into the Iraq war.
All lies. All crimes. All behavior that is morally abhorrent and a slap in the face to veterans and Americans who owe a debt of gratitude to those who actually served and fought.
Had Tim merely cited his 24 years of National Guard service, that would have been not only fine, but admirable.
Choosing not to serve in the military is a neutral stance, and serving doesn't inherently confer moral superiority.
It's acceptable to have avoided the Vietnam draft, except in cases like Mitt Romney's, where he was documented protesting in favor of the war he evaded. This kind of hypocrisy undermines any claim to honor.
Exaggerating the significance of peacetime service is certainly dodgy as well.
However, stolen valor—claiming unearned military honors—is an unforgivable sin.
And exaggerating and lying about one’s rank and service should be disqualifying.
And the left has disgustingly tried to equivocate and diminish JD Vance’s service with Tim Walz.
As Cynical Publius noted on Twitter:
I want to explain the difference between JD Vance and Timmy Walz.
Vance was in combat. He served in al Anbar Province at the height of the Iraq insurgency, and every American there at that time was in imminent danger of death or dismemberment from IEDs, 107mm rockets and 82mm mortars. Nevertheless, Vance said in his book that he never saw combat. This was because he thought that saying he was (even though he WAS) would dishonor the Marines who were in firefights daily with the enemy. He was being modest.
Walz, OTOH, not only never saw combat, he RAN from combat, and then he bragged about his non-existent combat experience. That right there says all anyone needs to know about the character and morals of these two men.
Let’s take a look at the stolen valor claims and the Harris/Walz/CNN/DNC counterclaims one at a time.
Minority/Twitter Consensus: Walz’s actual rank is a Master Sergeant.
DNC Counterclaim: Walz’s rank was Command Sergeant Major.
Fact: While Walz did attain the rank of Command Sergeant Major briefly in a provisional role (less than 2 months), he was demoted to Master Sergeant when he failed to fulfill his deployment obligations and complete additional coursework.
So Walz’s official rank is that of Master Sergeant. Yet in numerous interviews, Walz falsely claimed he was a Command Sergeant Major. He also filed paperwork for retirement benefits under that rank which is technically fraud and can be charged as a federal crime (like lying on a mortgage or medicare submission).
Minority/Twitter Consensus: Walz lied about going to war and fighting.
DNC Counterclaim: He served in the National Guard and was stationed in Italy in a support role.
A plush peacetime assignment to Italy isn’t in the same galaxy as being deployed to war. And as you’ll see in the videos and articles below, Walz lied numerous times about being deployed to war and fighting in Operation Enduring Freedom.
Minority/Twitter Consensus: Walz abandoned his unit when he quit before being deployed.
DNC Counterclaim: Walz was eligible to retire and didn’t quit. He resigned before his deployment orders came down.
Fact: He was eligible to retire, but he absolutely had been notified through a NOS (Notification of Sourcing) that he was going to be deployed and had verbally confirmed that and committed to the unit and his superiors that he would deploy. Team building exercises and planning commenced with Walz involved and given significant responsibility. He then went around the chain of command to get someone higher up to sign off on his retirement, a very unusual and improper move that may have been done to evade some of his existing obligations (see Ashley Hayek piece below).
So whether he quit or retired probably comes down to how you view Walz. His fellow soldiers and officers say he quit. Regime media puppets and their NPC bots on Twitter say he retired.
Either way, he was fully aware that he was being deployed and didn’t just accidentally decide to retire right before he shipped out. He had full knowledge of the assignment and significant planning had already commenced involving him and his role.
See the video and tweet below.
And here’s the video from above:
Bottom line: Walz had a cushy part-time One Weekend a Month, Two weeks a Year job with the National Guard for 24 years meaning he was paid by the taxpayers for 24 years to train and prepare for possible deployment to fight when called.
The call came but Walz decided not to answer.
When he was given notice he would be deployed, he quit in a very unorthodox fashion, abandoned the men he had led and trained with for the prior 4 years and then lied about it for the next 20 years claiming he fought in the war.
This is a prima facie case of Stolen Valor.
If JD Vance were the one misrepresenting his service record and rank, it's almost certain that the issue would be dominating headlines, and the Department of Justice would likely have launched an investigation, or more likely he’d already be in handcuffs.
As previously noted, stolen valor is not a trivial matter of exaggeration; it's a federal crime that strikes at the heart of the values held by veterans.
However, given the pervasive corruption within the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the current administration, there is virtually no chance of even a formal reprimand being issued, let alone any substantive legal consequences. This oversight not only allows the law to be flouted but also fails to hold accountable those who compromise the honor of genuine service.
On the other hand, there are Red State Attorney Generals who may want to take Walz into custody. While his arrest would be warranted under the law, this is a uber-high stakes move. As demonstrated by the arrests associated with President Trump, such actions can sometimes backfire, serving primarily to galvanize the base rather than achieving their intended effects.
It would be prudent to steer clear of such extreme measures. Instead, continuing to spotlight his dishonorable conduct allows veterans and American citizens to make an informed decision whether this is the man they want in the #2 spot leading the country.
Despite DNC bots and CNN activists doing their best to suppress the story and label it misinformation, even the Harris campaign was finally forced to admit on Friday evening (the notorious time slot when press releases intended to avoid public scrutiny are typically issued.) that he ‘misspoke’ - spin for bald faced lies about Walz’s record and rank.
Note that it wasn’t Walz himself admitting his mistakes, but an unnamed campaign spokesman. That’s a cowardly act in of itself.
The persistent investigation and posts by citizen journalists have started to crack the MSM truth blockade.
Here’s a few clips and articles about the scandal showing that Walz repeatedly lied for 20 years about his service record and rank.
From Ashley Hayek:
🧵The CNN fact-check correspondent is peddling disinformation, gaslighting you, and straight up lying about Walz service.
Here are the 12 facts, about Walz service that nobody can disagree with...
1⃣ Tim Walz re-enlisted for six years in the National Guard on September 18, 2001. That means he obligated himself to serve until September 18, 2007.
2⃣ In 2003, then-First Sergeant Walz (E-8) signed a Statement of Agreement and Certification to attend the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy, where he agreed to serve for a *minimum* of two years after promotion to Command Sergeant Major.
3⃣ On September 17, 2004, then-First Sergeant Walz was frocked to Command Master Sergeant (E-9) of the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery regiment. By doing so, he was obligated to serve as a Command Sergeant Major until September 17, 2006, and he still maintained his enlistment contract, which obligated his service through September 18, 2007.
4⃣ In March 2005, Walz and 1/125 were notified they would be mobilized and deployed to Iraq.
5⃣ On May 16, 2005, 7 months after assuming his position as the Command Sergeant Major of 1/125 and 2 months after being notified he was going to deploy to Iraq, Walz QUIT by dropping his retirement papers. This was a FULL 18 months before the end of his Sergeant Major academy agreement and 2.5 years before the end of his enlistment contract. Walz voluntarily signed two contracts to serve our country, went to school on the taxpayer's dime, used the rank of Command Sargeant Major, and quit without completing his full obligated time.
6⃣ He falsely filed paperwork with the Minnesota National Guard to retire as an E-9, a Command Sergeant Major, knowing full well he did not meet the obligations to retire as an E-9.
7⃣ On September 10, 2005, the Minnesota National Guard discovered that he didn’t fulfill his commitment and busted down his retirement rank from an E-9 to an E-8. His official retirement grade and rank is E-8: a Master Sergeant
8⃣ Walz cannot claim the title of Command Master Sergeant. He was only frocked as an E-9 and never completed the requirements to be officially promoted to the rank of E-9. Walz is lying and cannot claim the title of command master sergeant, as he never met the criteria.
9⃣ Walz referred to himself as a retired Command Sergeant Major in his run for Congress and Governor. This is a lie and stolen valor.
🔟Walz has never been to war in a combat zone as he claims. His only deployment was to Italy for 6 months.
1⃣1⃣ Walz claims he couldn't run for Congress while serving in the National Guard while deployed - but that's ALSO a lie. He simply had to file paperwork with the Department of Defense, and he could have run for political office as so many other reservists and National Guard soldiers have.
1⃣2⃣ In 2008, Twin Cities TV station and the Star Tribune were given the story. It was validated and confirmed, and then the Mainstream Media did what they always do...BURY THE STORY to protect the Radical Left.
Here is another video of Tim Walz nodding along when the host describes his rank as that of a Command Sergeant Major.
Walz also doesn’t correct her when she states he served in Afghanistan with his battalion.
https://x.com/gragedustin/status/1822093077562986809?s=46&t=_JaxOsmjiaR3rZHPW0phLw
Here is a local paper's glowing profile of Tim Walz in 2005 done based on an interview with Walz:
Walz "served a tour of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom"
"He was deployed overseas with his National Guard field artillery unit in Operation Iraqi Freedom."
Here’s the article from above: https://nypost.com/2024/08/09/us-news/chaplain-calls-tim-walz-cowardly-for-leaving-national-guard/
https://x.com/JeremyRedfernFL/status/1821962393817079887
This is all pretty simple. If you were a domestic weekend warrior, you shouldn’t campaign on being a vet of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. This isn’t complex.
Tim Walz purposely embellished his service record for decades, all to improve his political resume. In addition to being a free speech opponent, a Covid mandate and lockdown tyrant, a child mutilation pusher and gun grabber, he’s a serial fraud.
And while his decision to put tampons for boys in public school bathrooms in Minnesota is strange and gross, I’m more concerned that Walz also redefined “sexual orientation” in Minnesota to include pedophiles by signing a law that removed Harry Niska’s amendment to excluded “physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult” from the state human rights law.
Expect more dirt to come out as he has some other rather dicey rumors about his past.
In the end, it’s unclear how much it will matter as it’s rare for people to change their votes solely based on a VP selection.
Nevertheless, it’s additional evidence (as if any more is needed) that Harris and her team is utterly incompetent.
And don’t ignore Gavin Newsom over the past few days cleaning up a homeless encampment virtually by himself in a very visible manner.
Gavin could have done this anytime over his past 2000 days in office.
He smells blood in the water with Walz, and Gavin is a shark.
That VP position might still be in play.
Trump Campaign Needs to Step Up its Game
Irrespective of the Walz debacle, there’s a long road ahead and Trump has his work cut out for him. His campaign (and Trump himself) have been off kilter lately.
Trump needs to quickly return back to the big tent approach we saw post assassination attempt and back to a positive message for the country that contrasts with the Marxist-lite race grifters.
Kamala will hide in the basement until the election and will get a free pass from the press (or even worse, glowing tributes based on vapor and imaginary positions).
Even the staunchly liberal New Yorker magazine called her out this week for being a non-candidate with no policy positions and running a photo-op campaign wholly devoid of substance.
For us Trump voters, the upcoming debates will likely not be a panacea either.
In the current climate, where societal and corporate norms intertwine, the optics of an older white man sharply critiquing a younger black woman—no matter how justified—pose a significant challenge. We live in a time where immutable characteristics often act as both a shield from criticism and an armor against professional repercussions, solely based on skin color or gender.
These are variables outside the control of Trump and his team, much like the relentless bias in the media and the protective veneer provided by Kamala Harris’s racial identity.
What remains within Trump's grasp, however, are his allocation of time and his strategic focus—areas that have recently been less than exemplary. As we move forward, it's these elements he must manage more effectively to paint a positive vision of his plan for America and contrast it with Harris’ dreadful track record.
Mr. President, kindly and respectfully, get your campaign sh*t together.
I wrote an Open Letter to the Campaign last week.
Instead of following the path I laid out, we’ve seen more of the same ineffective counters and a lack of public presence. What we have seen publicly, has not been confidence inspiring.
Announcements from Donald Jr. and Eric Trump about a Trump token has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve seen and I would strongly urge them not to go down this path.
There’s zero upside here. Focus on campaigning and support for American innovation be it bitcoin or crypto. Put Kamala on defensive and demand she fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler if she’s really now open to changing her views on crypto.
A Trump token will undoubtedly come off as scammy and be mercilessly mocked. And when the token itself implodes as all no-utility meme coins eventually do, you’ll have a bunch of very pissed off Trump voters with a bad taste in their mouth and a donut in their wallet.
On a separate and more concerning note, Trump himself reacted poorly to a rumor that Joe Rogan was endorsing RFK Jr. for President.
Rogan didn’t actually endorse RFK Jr., he merely said that he would vote for him. There’s a difference.
And rather than accepting Rogan’s personal decision, Trump reacted petulantly blasting Rogan on Truth Social Media.
Joe Rogan has been a mainstay at the UFC for 30 years. I can guarantee you he’s not getting booed next time he walks in.
More importantly, this is not the approach you take if you want to win an election. Rogan’s move to support RFK is naive idiocy, and typical of many in the Libertarian party - but it’s his decision to make.
These self-righteous Libertarians all understand the stakes involved. To campaign or vote for RKF Jr. has to be the most insane and childish thing I’ve ever witnessed.
It’s like Game 7 of the World Series and you’re making a size bet on a team that’s not even playing.
There is a war before us. And there are only two choices on the table that couldn’t be more different from each other. One gives libertarians and conservatives a future. The other is a totalitarian nightmare.
RFK should keep running hard, and then at the end drop out and endorse President Trump for his family’s sake and the future of the Republic.
And if Trump wants to win the election, you persuade people like Rogan and his tens of millions of followers to change their mind. You make the case why you are a better candidate than RFK (for starters, you can actually win the election).
The ‘big tent’ approach that Trump started post-assasination attempt is the right one.
The Republican Party, MAGA and the Trump candidacy is the party and candidate for those who believe in a strong economy, a strong border, a strong foreign policy with no unnecessary overseas wars, and law and order. And it’s for those who believe in small government, personal excellence and individual responsibility.
Stick to that message and you’ll win the election.
Wildcards & October Surprises
Trump’s Sentencing September 18th
Here’s a few thoughts to ponder.
Trump is scheduled for sentencing on September 18th. Although the recent Supreme Court decision suggests that his New York conviction, based on unprecedented charges, is likely to be overturned, there's a possibility that Trump's appeal might not be processed in time to affect his sentencing date.
Judge Merchan has already shown himself to be a corrupt Regime puppet, and it is rumored he will sentence Trump to a one year prison term at Rikers Island.
Such a move would potentially deprive Trump of the ability to campaign but would energize the base.
It’s more likely an appellate court or the Supreme Court emergency would stay the sentence and keep Trump a free man pending his appeal being heard.
Either way, it’s the type of ‘October Surprise’ to keep in mind and contemplate the fallout.
The Trump-Harris Debates
While the media continues to provide cover for the VP (she has not answered a single question, formulated a single policy, or sat down for an interview since announcing her candidacy), many Trump voters and campaign workers believe he will slaughter the low-IQ, barely coherent Kamala at the debates.
As I noted above, I’m more concerned and don’t think this is a good setup at all for Trump for two reasons.
First, Kamala chickened out of a debate on Fox News and the only debates planned are those run by DNC activists and Mockingbird Media channels using rules and moderators that are certain to be very bad for Trump.
Even if he can overcome these disadvantages, he will be in a position that anyone who has worked in the corporate world or engaged in open debate in real life over the past 2 decades understands: There is almost no scenario where an older white man can argue with a younger black woman and come off as the ‘winner’.
We live in a world complicated by the ugly societal tendency where immutable characteristics often serve as a bulwark against criticism and a safeguard from professional repercussions based solely on one's skin color or gender.
If he corrects and checks Kamala on her 9th grade level knowledge and understanding of economics, foreign policy or nearly any other topic, he will be castigated as a racist bully and condescending jerk.
Think about being the sole confident white man on The View surrounded by those mentally ill hyenas.
That’s the setup going into the debates.
Continued Geopolitical Unwind
With President Biden, dead, missing, or a textbook example of the 25th Amendment, bad actors everywhere are empowered over the next 3 months to step up their nefarious activities.
Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Hezbollah and others are all salivating at the prospect of a headless, leaderless US opting to go with the double basement roommates until after the election.
They’re also aware that if Trump wins, the mayhem they’ve caused over the last 4 years will be checked hard.
The likelihood of an escalation in fighting, cyber and kinetic terrorist attacks (both from hostile state actors and our own government or firms (CrowdStrike) goes up exponentially over the next 3 months.
PolyMarket and Online Betting
While it’s clear to any semi-intelligent observer that the polls we’ve seen are highly manipulated through any assortment of tools used to sway the results such as oversampling (when you read the fine print, you often see they poll 800 Democrats and 650 Republicans or other lopsided totals to guarantee a distorted outcome), typically the online betting sites are a better gauge of the real positioning of likely voters.
Besides the biased polls, the media has jumped on Kamala’s strong climb in Polymarket - the largest online betting site out there with over $600M wagered on the Presidential election alone.
Many right wing analysts and Twitter commentators believe that the Polymarket site is being ‘gamed’ by Democrats and dark money forces. While this is a possibility (at least for state actors as the amount of money wagered makes it difficult for smaller PACs or campaigns to game the outcome), it’s unlikely as Polymarket bets are all made in crypto that is recorded on the blockchain. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s certainly a lot harder to hide large ‘on chain’ bets. There are lots of audit trails.
Personally, what I believe is actually happening is Polymarket is simply not a good approximation of the likely US voter.
First of all, the site is off limits to US citizens. And while there are workarounds, it’s not a super simple exercise.
Additionally, since it’s crypto bets only, users of the site have to have some experience in that world and that’s the domain of mostly people under the age of 30. Biden & Kamala’s popularity both skews heavily to the younger/female crowd.
So while Kamala’s surge on Polymarket isn’t pleasant to watch, don’t panic or overestimate it’s predictive ability.
