Let’s get right to it – there are some rumors of rumors about Tim Walz floating around out there. What are these rumors? That there is something disqualifying that the Trump campaign knows about but is still vetting. What is this revelation? I have no idea, and I’ve dug into the rumor to find out. I’ve reached out to my many contacts. Now, all my best stories are that I can’t tell anyone because I treat everybody who tells me anything in confidence as within attorney-client privilege, so you’re not going to get my very best stories. But I can tell you what I have found here. I found nothing. Nobody can tell me if this is true, much less what the rumored thermonuclear information is.
I tried. I talked to the biggest political gossips I know and asked, “Hey, what’s supposedly going on with Tim Walz? Do you know? Because everybody seems to be talking about it.” And every one of them has said, “I’ve heard that people are talking about something, but I have no idea what it is or even if it is real.”
So, what does this mean? It means that if there is something out there, people are keeping it under a very close hold. That’s unusual because conservatism, in general, leaks like a sieve. There are no secrets, not for long. I’m thinking if there really were a burning fuse out there, I probably would have gotten some indication of what it is.
Where does that leave us? Possibility One is that there is no hidden weirdness about the fake command sergeant major, the fake combat vet, and the fake head coach. I’m willing to believe that there is no there there just because I haven’t seen any evidence – evidence is anything that proves or tends to prove a fact – to the contrary. I look at that freaky weirdo and think to myself that he’s got the burden of proof of showing me that he doesn’t have some weird, dark, disqualifying secret beyond the weird, dark, disqualifying secrets that we already have found out.
Now, we come to the question of what we should do about these rumors. Do we talk about the rumors of rumors? I guess I’m doing that. I’m also making clear that I have no evidence that there’s anything there. I have a gut feeling that there’s probably something bad we don’t know about yet, but that’s not evidence.
So, should we use it to pummel our political opponent anyway, since that seems to be the New Rule?
And I am all for using the New Rules against an enemy that revoked the Old Rules, but that doesn’t mean employing the New Rules when it will boomerang on us. There’s a practical aspect, and there’s a moral aspect here. The practical aspect is that you don’t want to falsely accuse somebody of something because you’re going to look like an idiot when you don’t come up with the evidence. Everybody saw how ABC News was totally in the tank for Kamala Harris during the debate, and it is entirely within the realm of possibility – because the regime media has done it before - that she was handed the questions in advance. She was certainly treated to a soothing foot rub rather than a brutal brball bat beating like Trump was by the immoderate moderators. But soon after, some Internet rando announced that he had an affidavit from a source within ABC News that would blow the whistle on the conspiracy that right now we only suspect. Then someone released an affidavit that was half-redacted. Where is the accuser, because the old anonymous thing doesn’t work for us? Nowhere to be found. We rubbed our hands together, waiting to see what would be released to confirm our suspicions, and to date we have a big nothing.
But, of course, as a practical matter, lying about people and falsely accusing them can certainly be effective for hurting your opponent. The disgusting Harry Reed, who once got his butt kicked by a brd exercise machine, famously accused Mitt Romney of not paying any taxes. He knew it was a lie, and when caught on it, he laughed and said, “Well, it worked, didn’t it?” Yeah, it worked, and lying is a key tool of Democrats - something enabled by a regime media that goes along with it instead of calling it out.
Donald Trump is the King of Being Lied About. Remember Russiagate, Ukraine phone calls, suckers & losers, very fine people, and a host of other lies? How about that Hunter Biden laptop? The other side knows their lies are lies. It just doesn’t care. The practical risks that we Republicans face if we were to choose to lie are eliminated when Democrats choose to lie by the fact that leftist supporters and the regime media don’t care when the left lies. Our side would wet itself if we got caught in a lie; National Review and the rest of the fussycons would go 24/7 about it. Someone on our side can’t resist the chance to wag their soft, girlish fingers at us for being mean. No pearl would go unclutched. But even us brd conservatives would disapprove. It’s just not going to work for us. The Democrats don’t have that problem. They would just move on to the next lie. The current one is that Trump brought on the second leftist attempt to murder him by speaking out about unapproved truths.
And then there’s the moral aspect. Right off the top, we’re not supposed to lie about other people because God told us not to. Exodus 20:16 is very clear: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” So, that kind of ends the discussion right there. We can’t make up stuff about the other side. This election is important, but our souls are more so. But luckily, the Democrats are so freaking appalling that we don’t have to make things up. We can tell the truth about them and normal people will be repelled.
So, as a practical and a moral question, we should not be making up stuff about people. We also don’t need to pretend the lack of evidence is the same as the lack of secrets. The fact is that Walz’s sketchy bio raises a lot of questions and a lot of gut-level suspicions. I’m always going to be wary of a grown man who decides to involve himself with a club related to teenage sexuality. The Democrats are the party of Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Harvey Weinstein. Don’t tell me I am supposed to reject the possibility of some potential scandal somehow out there, though we currently have no evidence of it. We just have, as the Harris/Walz campaign is famous for, a vibe.
And this insanity about going to China 30+ times definitely trips the red flashing lights. You don’t go to China with a security clearance – and you’re not a senior noncommissioned officer without a security clearance – and not be a target. If this guy’s going back and forth about three dozen times, the bad guys are going to take notice, and Walz seems pretty enamored of the Red Chinese. Was he ever approached? Was he ever recruited? Did he ever report back to our counterintelligence people? I wonder how this guy got a top-secret clearance or even a security clearance. I know what they did to give me mine, especially because my wife was born in Cuba. I’ve had less invasive colonoscopies, and properly so. This guy is going to be one heartbeat from the presidency if he wins, and I’d like to know if he’s literally the Manchurian candidate.
There are a whole bunch of other things it could be if there is something. There could be financial shenanigans. There could be scandals within his governorship of Minnesota, which is a hellhole. Maybe he’s taking bribes. Maybe there’s something fishy going on with those Somali thieves who were ripping off tens of millions of dollars from the government under his regime. Who knows? I think he’s dirty, but I couldn’t convict him of it in court. But then again, I don’t have to. I’m within my rights to not vote for him just because I look at him and think, “That guy is bad news.”
Maybe something big is lurking out there, and maybe there isn’t. Right now, what we do know about him – from his stolen valor to his casual dishonesty to his disgusting and disgraceful policies regarding mutilating children and killing the unborn – is already massively disqualifying. Anything else is just pounding the rubble.
Now, we cannot and should not wait for some September or October Surprise to make this guy into Thomas Eagleton II. We can’t simply bide our time and wait for the truth that may or may not exist to come out. We must work our behinds off to get every patriot’s vote into the ballot box and counted. But let’s keep digging anyway and see what we come up with because my gut tells me there’s more to this slimeball’s story than we’ve already heard about. I just don’t know what it is. Not yet.
