It’s another day that ends in “-y,” which means legacy media hucksters are running dishonest interference for the Democrat Party. The latest example comes in the form of a Friday “fact-check” by The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler. Known for his willingness to lie on behalf of Democrats, the Post’s “democracy dies in darkness” guru decided to offer his “assessment” of the controversy engulfing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. While lauded by regime-approved media for his National Guard service, Walz’s rollout as Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate has been marred by reports...

The attacks have focused on the timing of Walz’s retirement, his eventual rank, and subsequent statements that could be construed to suggest he served in Afghanistan or in combat. Walz deployed to Italy in support of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and retired after 24 years in the Minnesota National Guard to run for Congress in 2005, at a time when his unit was widely expected to deploy to Iraq but before it received official orders. He reached the rank of command sergeant major but retired at one level down...

Controversy over Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s military service record is at the heart of Capitol Hill’s latest political firestorm, with veterans on both sides of the aisle chiming in on the new Democratic vice presidential candidate. Republicans are accusing Walz of misrepresenting details about his 24-year career in the National Guard — GOP lawmakers who served in the military have attacked him for leaving the National Guard to run for Congress shortly before his unit deployed to Iraq. Democratic veterans in Congress jumped to his defense, pointing out that Walz...

When CAIR boss Nihad Awad was caught on video celebrating Oct 7 after a long history of the group’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, and other Islamic terrorists. But before too long, the Biden administration began conducting outreach to CAIR all over again as Islamist and leftist groups launched a ‘ceasefire’ movement to save Hamas. Zahra Billoo, the head of CAIR’s San Francisco office and a former Women’s March figure, responded to Haniyeh’s execution by tweeting, “Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead—in fact, they...

Since he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate earlier this week, there has been considerable chatter about the headache that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has caused. Among the latest causes for concern is a report from Friday detailing how Walz hosted an imam who celebrated the October 7 attacks against Israel and promoted a pro-Hitler website. As Gabe Kaminsky of the Washington Examiner reported about Walz and Imam Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota: Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, on at least five...

Here's what we know about the 'Stolen Valor' allegations against Kamala Harris' running mate, Gov. Tim Walz: (1) Multiple accounts over the years have described him as an Iraq or Afghanistan War veteran, which he is not -- including a book Walz endorsed. (2) Walz has repeatedly and publicly claimed a retired military rank that he didn't actually earn. (3) When his unit was expected to be ordered to Iraq in 2005, he retired early and left the military, heading home to become a politician. More on that below. (4)...

Republicans this week have been lobbing attacks on 24-year-record of service in the National Guard -- but is decidedly unimpressed. Writing about the campaign to accuse Walz of "stolen valor," the editors make the case that Republicans would be better off training their fire elsewhere in the Minnesota governor's record. "The charges leveled so far about his military service look like 'thin gruel,' as our friends at the New York Sun put it," the editors contend. " has accused Mr. Walz of 'stolen valor' despite his 24 years in the...

Bill Osmulski got married in August 2013. He and his Wisconsin National Guard unit were deployed to Kuwait just six months later. The War on Terror veteran served two years and two tours of duty in the Middle East, including in Iraq. As a soldier in the administrative wing — at points teaching Iraqi soldiers how to write press releases and use social media — the work wasn’t dangerous. But the deployments for a newlywed were anything but convenient. “For the first three years of my marriage, I was deployed...

Vice President Kamala Harris had nothing but “praise” for her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz when questioned about his service in the National Guard Thursday. Harris, 59, was asked by a reporter to respond to criticism that Walz “deserted his own troops, deserted his own colleagues” when he opted to retire from the Minnesota National Guard in May 2005, as his battalion was preparing to deploy to the Iraq warzone. “Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country,” Harris said. “And I think that we...

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign quietly updated Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) online biography after Republicans slammed its representation of her running mate’s military record. After Harris picked Walz to be her No. 2 on Tuesday, her campaign website called the Minnesota Democrat “the son of an Army veteran and a retired Command Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard himself.” Two days later, Walz’s online biography has been changed to label him as “the son of an Army veteran who served as a command sergeant major.” The seemingly minor update...
