How Do I Despise Tim Walz? Let Me Count The Ways

Destroying the American Family

Counting the ways Tim Walz has harmed women, children, and families:

During his stint as governor of Minnesota, Walz has:

1.  Signed a law enshrining abortion on demand, without limits, until birth, the Protect Reproduction Options Act of 2023.

Until BIRTH?  An unborn human is viable many, many weeks before term.  What we have here is MURDER.  The MURDER of another human.  Abortionists try to use euphemisms such as "products of conception" rather than "baby."  It's MURDER.  Have you heard the phone call to a Maryland (oh, how I despise Maryland) abortion clinic where the abortion of a 34-week-old unborn human is described.  First they numb the unborn human so it doesn't feel any pain.  Whoops, did they just admit the unborn human can feel pain?  Then, they inject the unborn human with a drug that stops its heart.  Hmmm, seems like that's what happens to death row inmates when they are executed, right?  What horrendous crime has that 34-week-old unborn human committed to deserve EXECUTION?

2.  Signed a bill repealing numerous longstanding and commonsense abortion policies, including informed consent for women and Minnesota’s Positive Alternatives program that had supported pregnant women and new mothers.

So, if he cannot kill the unborn human, he'll just remove any support the state has for the mother of the unborn human.  

3.    Stripped away the right of babies who SURVIVE abortion to receive lifesaving care.  As governor of Minnesota, Walz signed into law a bill that struck the requirement “that all responsible medical personnel” use “[a]ll reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice” to “preserve the life and health” of an infant born alive during an attempted abortion. 

If the baby survives a botched abortion, they are left to die.  A newborn baby LEFT TO DIE.  How inhuman can this man be?  Might as well be in Virginia under the governorship of Ralph Northram, who described how a newborn survivor of abortion would be murdered.  The word for this crime is INFANTICIDE.  Walz should be required to explain himself.

4.  On Walz's watch, Minnesota declared itself a sanctuary state for children whose parents refused to allow them to be mutilated and sterilized under the guise of "gender-affirming care."

A child who is confused regarding gender and whose parents refuse to provide mutilating surgery and sterilizing hormone therapy could go to a judge in Minnesota and that judge would remove the child from the custody of his/her parents so that the State of Minnesota could provide "gender-affirming care."  This "protection" extends to children who are not residents of Minnesota.  Can you see the possibility here?  The possibility of child trafficking to become trans and probably into the sex trade? 

How can any American vote to put this heartless monster into the Vice Presidency?  How can any American vote for the person who chose Walz to be #2?

I am aghast.

Stolen Valor: The Coward's MO

Reprehensible:  Politicians Lying about Military Service for Political Gain

In the interest of full disclosure, I am not an unbiased reporter when it comes to Stolen Valor.  My father was a tall, handsome, recruitment-poster-worthy career U.S. Marine officer who did not smoke, drink, or swear.  He was a hero of WWII, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War.  In the latter, he earned -- EARNED -- the Bronze Star Medal with the Combat V for Valor.  He died entirely too early at the age of 67 thanks to the effects of his combat.  The good news is that he lived long enough to meet the oldest of his four grandchildren.  The bad news is that my mother lost her husband, I lost my father, and my children lost their grandfather, but this is the price families of heroes pay.  

My father was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with Full Military Honors and is interred in Section 60 with the heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

My favorite uncle was the crew chief of a B-24 bomber during WWII.  He was stationed with US troops in Italy and survived a plane crash.  His older brother flew a Corsair during WWII.  Another uncle served in the U.S. Air Force, and my first cousin was in the U.S. Navy, stationed on a ship off the coast of Vietnam during that conflict.  

My mother, while not in the armed forces, worked at a munitions factory in NC where she tested the explosive that went into 40mm shells that my father (before they met) probably shot in the Solomon Islands where he spent WWII.  She wasn't exactly Rosie the Riveter, but neither was her job insignificant.  If those shells did not explode, they were ineffective in bringing down attacking aircraft.

Not to be left out is my father-in-law, a career U.S. Army officer who retired as a full Colonel.  He served in Europe during WWII and was in the Battle of the Bulge, where he was wounded.  He earned -- that's right, EARNED -- the Bronze Star for his service there as well as a Purple Heart.

Having laid out my family credentials and acknowledging my bias, the subject now turns to politicians who lie about their service for POLITICAL GAIN.  

The current governor of Maryland, Democrat Wes Moore, LIED about earning the Bronze Star.  He didn't.  As the daughter and daughter-in-law of Bronze Star recipients, that totally burns my grits.  I never liked him anyway, what with his atrocious spending habits (that's for another blog), but now I truly despise him for claiming what he did not earn.

The current Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Tim Walz, takes the cake for gutless, spineless, shameless LYING about his military service.  Sure, he served twenty-some years in the National Guard.  That's nice.  However, he re-upped but, when his unit was scheduled to be sent into combat, he un-re-upped and retired (before his term was completed) so he could focus on running for Congress.  Political gain.  Adding insult to every combat veteran, he claimed to have carried a weapon in war . . . during Iraq . . .while he was stationed in Italy.  He might have carried pasta and pizza, maybe, but any carrying of a weapon was done during transport, not while in combat.  And, claiming a rank he did not earn just adds more insult to those who have served.

As far as I am concerned, any vote cast for the Democratic Harris/Walz ticket disrespects any and all veterans who served their country honorably.  His actions are nothing short of reprehensible.  PERIOD.

Illegal Immigration Backlash: There are Reasons

 

Decrying Anti-Immigration:  Why the Left is blatantly ignorant

A friend of mine wrote quite passionately about immigration, how we’re all (except for the Native Americans) descended from immigrants.  We are, and I’m even married to a naturalized citizen immigrant.  My sons are first-generation Americans on their dad’s side and, on my side, eligible to join the Sons of the American Revolution.  Immigration is a good thing.

That is, legal immigration.  The anti-immigrant sentiment that you see is, I think, not rooted in general anti-immigration per se, but anti-illegal-immigration.  The influx of illegal immigrants over the past several years is unprecedented in history.  The damage it has done to our citizens, our cities, and our country as a whole is immeasurable.  Note that I am using “illegal immigrant” as a reference to their legal status here in the United States, not as a derogatory comment on their very existence.

 These illegal immigrants are not “your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” as Emma Lazarus described in her poem on the Statue of Liberty.  Well, maybe some of them are, but many are gang members, criminals, drug and human traffickers, and weapon smugglers. 

 The sheer numbers of immigrants have overwhelmed the services – housing, medical, educational – of the sanctuary cities.  Big cities like NY, El Paso, San Diego are overwhelmed.  Smaller cities like Springfield, OH, which has been in the news of late, have seen population growth as large as 20% in the past four years.  These new populations depend on the current citizenry to fund everything they need, overwhelming the infrastructure and funding of those localities.  Some of these people came from crime-ridden, violent countries and, frankly, they continue to act accordingly. 

 Along with the illegal immigrants come an array of diseases, some of which we had almost eliminated within our borders.  The following diseases have had a sharp uptick in occurrence:  polio, TB, HIV, mumps, chicken pox, Hep A and B, measles, and – according to one health worker – every known STD.  These germs endanger everyone, even those who have been vaccinated because vaccines have “holes” in them.  Also, the recent trend of parents not immunizing their children open those children up to disastrous results from these germs. 

 These illegal immigrants are not coming only from Central and South American.  DHS identified more than 400 people smuggled over the border by an ISIS-affiliated group.  This past February, the largest number of illegal immigrants came from China.  Natives of Asia and Africa know how to play the international game of flying to visa-lax countries of Central and South America and then heading north to the gaping hole that is our southern border with Mexico.  There are reports of groups of fit, military-age men, dressed in military camouflage and carrying matching backpacks, indicating a well-funded supply network that ensures everyone is outfitted the same.  Southern ranching areas are suffering from violence and crime fueled by Mexican cartels; their land littered with trash, drug paraphernalia, and dead bodies.  Third- and fourth-generation cattle farmers are not safe on their own properties and they are getting no help from overwhelmed Homeland Security.

 Add to all that is the violence perpetrated on American citizens by illegal immigrants.  Here are just a few.

             Laken Riley, 22, attempted rape and successful murder by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.

             Rachel Morin, 37, mother of five.  Raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant from El   Salvador.

             Kayla Hamilton, 20.  Killed by an illegal immigrant affiliated with MS-13 gang, was already a suspect in rape/murder of another woman before Kayla’s murder.

             Maria Gonzales, 11.  Beaten, raped, and strangled to death by an illegal immigrant from Guatemala.  He put her body in a plastic bag, put the bag in a laundry hamper, and stuffed the hamper under her bed.

Laken, Rachel, Kayla, Maria, and others would be alive today if our border was secure and our immigration laws enforced. 

Enough said.  Enforce our laws, secure our borders.  Refuse to bow to liberal bleeding hearts who live in their white palaces above normal society.  Arrest and permanently deport illegal immigrants who break the law.  Detain and deport illegal immigrants and make them come in the front door, not sneak in the back.
