Ya, Tampon Tim is a phony.

And Walz speaks conversational Mandarin, he even taught high school in China. I don't think you get to do that without approval from the Chicoms as a reliable comrade.
He has been to China 30 times over the years, he even spent his honeymoon there. That's weird, but I guess he felt right at home with Communism.

And Walz was the first one to use “weird” as an insult.
As an article on businessinsider.com said, "Sitting for an interview on "Morning Joe," Walz was the first one to use the term when he described Donald Trump and JD Vance in simple terms: "These guys are just weird." The word has evidently struck a cultural cord, as it has appeared in campaign videos, X posts, and cable news segments."

Look how that mental institution called MSNBC tries to defend Walz ...

Minnesota National Guard Leaders Expose Tim Walz for Stolen Valor, Lying About His Rank, and Quitting When His Unit Was Deployed to Iraq.

"As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit," said Tom Behrends, a retired command sergeant major who replaced Gov. Tim Walz on a deployment to Iraq.

When he was a congressman, you know, he bragged that he was a retired command sergeant major: "I'm the highest-ranking person ever in the House," and, you know, all this lie that he was telling the state of Minnesota came out after 2018. After this was exposed, they said, "Well, he can say that he served as a command sergeant major, but he can't say he's a retired one because he's not."

Just tooting his own horn, hanging on the coattails of people that actually are command sergeant majors, who went through all the process and put all the time in.

It's stolen valor, really, what it is.

If he went to Iraq, he'd still be hiding under his desk over there, 'cause that's just the cowardice that I saw portrayed with him.

True... I was in Shanghai back in 1989. Visited Hong Kong almost a dozen times over the years... 1988-2004. Was a MUCH better place when Britain controlled it. Went to sheit as soon as China took it back.

Thailand 4 times (Pattaya and Phuket), Korea a few times, Japan a few times, Australia 4 times (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns), Germany, Greece (lived on Crete for a year), Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Singapore a few times and I lived in the Philippines from 1988-1991.

Fun fact... when I was 18-21 I was in the Philippines and I thought they were so horribly corrupt and the US was so much better. Boy was I naive. We're way worse, but we were better at hiding it back then.

SECOND VIDEO SURFACES! – 2007 Video of Tim Walz Makes Rounds on Internet: “I Deployed in Support of Operation Enduring Freedom” – A COMPLETE LIE #StolenValor


Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal is growing.

Kamala Harris on Tuesday announced she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate.

Immediately after Walz was introduced as Kamala’s running mate, a video of him falsely claiming to be a combat veteran surfaced.

Walz’s stolen valor scandal is only getting worse and he refuses to answer questions from the press.


A 2007 video of Tim Walz falsely claiming he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom has surfaced.

“I spent 24 years in the National Guard, some of that full-time. I was an artilleryman. I deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My battalion provided base security throughout the European theater from Turkey to England in the early stages of the war in Afghanistan. And that same battalion is now in Iraq at this time,” Tim Walz said in 2007 on CSPAN.

WATCH:https://tinyurl.com/y4hmwssa

Walz falsely claimed he served in combat in Iraq.

“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Tim Walz previously said.

Walz never deployed.

WATCH:https://tinyurl.com/3z777rax

Tim Walz dropped out of the Army after his unit was deployed to Iraq.

Retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr published a scathing letter in the West Central Tribune, exposing what they claim are significant fabrications and omissions in Walz’s military record.


Here is a summary of the timeline detailing how Tim Walz has lied about his military career:

September 18, 2001: Tim Walz reenlisted in the Minnesota Army National Guard for six years.

Early 2003: Selected to attend the United States Army Sergeants Major Academy.

Late Summer 2003: Deployed with the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion to Italy for six months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Spring 2004: Returned to Minnesota and selected as Command Sergeant Major of the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion.

August 5, 2004: Photographed at a protest outside a President Bush campaign rally.

September 17, 2004: Conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major.

Early 2005: Battalion received warning order for mobilization to Iraq.

May 16, 2005: Walz retired, leaving his battalion without its senior Non-Commissioned Officer as they prepared for deployment.

September 10, 2005: Reduced to Master Sergeant as he failed to meet the conditions of his promotion and dropped out of the academy.

November 2005: Offered to fundraise for his battalion’s Christmas trip while they trained for deployment.

2006-2007: Battalion deployed for 22 months. Walz elected to the House of Representatives in November 2006, claiming to be the highest-ranking enlisted service member ever to serve in Congress.

November 1, 2006: Tom Hagen, Iraq War Veteran, wrote a critical letter to the editor of the Winona Daily News about Walz abandoning his unit. “Here are a couple of sentences from the letter: But even more disturbing is the fact that Walz quickly retired after learning that his unit -southern Minnesota’s 1-125 FA Battalion – would be sent to Iraq. For Tim Walz to abandon his fellow soldiers and quit when they needed experienced leadership most is disheartening.”


Walz’s Response: Claimed he reenlisted for four years and retired a year before his battalion’s deployment, despite official records showing a six-year reenlistment and retirement before the end of this period.

CNN is starting to talk about Tim Walz’s stolen valor scandal.

“Walz did make a comment, he’s done it a couple times, where he has used language that suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation. There is no evidence that any time that he was in the position of being shot at and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was,” CNN said.

This is Harris making a critical decision. Whom to select if she cannot (or he uses the 25th Amendment on her!!!![whip] ) perform in office. Cut bait and run. That's not what our nation needs. That's not what the World needs.

When CNN finally has to state the obvious to the sheeple, the dwindling IQ ratings fodder...watch out for falling knives!!!

If you recall... back in 2006 I was in Baghdad and Fallujah with Seal Team Three. I was issued an M-16 and a Beretta M9 for the deployment. The M-16 mostly sat in my "room" in our tent. I never worried about bullets zinging by, as a Senior Chief and a non-seal I was in the rear with the gear.

Only worry we had was being right on the edge of the base... rockets/mortar fire were not uncommon. Only thing between us and the bad guys were Hesco barriers. (https://www.hesco.com/products/mil-units/)

My point is... even if he WAS deployed to Iraq, as the senior enlisted advisor, he's not going outside the wire unless it's extremely necessary. I qualify as a "combat veteran" because I was in theater. But I was never actually "in combat".

Italy is nowhere NEAR the theater of combat operations. Nor does it qualify for tax free/hazardous duty.

From the VA:

Veterans, including activated Reservists and members of the National Guard, are eligible if they served on active duty in a theater of combat operations after November 11, 1998, and have been discharged under other than dishonorable conditions.
Documentation Used To Determine Service in a Theater Of Combat Operations
- Military service documentation that reflects service in a combat theater, or
- receipt of combat service medals, and/or
- receipt of imminent danger or hostile fire pay or tax benefits

I will guarantee he doesn't meet any of those three conditions. I met 1 and 3, but since I was not actually in combat I did not qualify for any service medals for such.

Don't diminish it at all. You enlisted. You don't know if or when you get deployed. Those decisions happen in conjunction with a dark room of suits with ideas from a geometrically shaped building. You go when called. If you don't, at least you were there waiting...training...waiting...and going about your daily "job". This guy signed up. Took ALL of the benefits. When his unit got called up for deployment he ran. How he was allowed to retain retirement benefits blows my mind. Talking and acting like he "did something" though? This "Midwest Folksy" narrative push they're doing for this schlub fraud...EPIC FAIL. Shows how screwed Harris and her controllers really are. Could've had Shapiro and Pennsylvania locked down. Nope...pander for the Somalia votes in Minnesota that will NEVER swing to the Red column.

You don't have to degrade your service explaining away this coward and the presstitutes delivering him up as "fit to serve". Only the rabid see him as something other than I've described him.

National Guard Disputes Walz's Military Bio; CNN Calls Out 'Absolutely False' Claim Over Deployment



The Minnesota National Guard has disputed Governor Tim Walz's military biography, saying that his claims of retiring at the rank of command sergeant major is untrue.

Minnesota National Guard spox Army Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Augé told Just the News that Walz, Kamala Harris' vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a command sergeant major as he has claimed for years - including on his official gubernatorial biography - as he failed to complete a 750-hour course in the Army's Sergeants Major Academy, a mandatory course for E-9s, the Army's highest enlisted rank.

While Walz temporarily held the title of command sergeant major he "retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy," Army Lt. Col. Kristen Augé, the Minnesota National Guard’s State Public Affairs Officer, told Just the News.

The statement reignited a controversy that began during his 2018 election for governor in which National Guardsman claimed on social media and in a paid ad that Walz declined to deploy to Iraq for combat duty in 2005 and forfeited his title of command sergeant major. Walz chose to run for Congress that year. -Just the News

The governor's biography, however, says that "Command Sergeant Major Walz" retired from the Minnesota National Guard in 2005. At the time he was serving as one of the highest ranking members of the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion.

"He retired as a master sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy," said Augé.

WATCH: More stolen valor from Kamala’s VP pick Tim Walz:

That said, an unnamed Guard spokesperson told Task & Purpose, in direct contradiction to Augé, that Walz's demotion was a technicality.

"Soldiers who do not finish the course revert back to their prior rank," they told the outlet. "This is what we refer to as an administrative reduction and not punitive in nature."

The outlet also claims that the Guard 'confirmed' that Walz was properly promoted and served in the E-9 role, and "retired as" an E-9, despite the later reduction.

That said, Task & Purpose also framed the entire stolen valor controversy as "The 'Swift Boating' of Tim Walz" - as if his on-record lies about 'weapon of war, that I carried in war' (he never saw war), are the same as disputed allegations over John Kerry's (D) Vietnam war record.

On Wednesday we noted that Walz straight up lied about having been deployed in a combat zone.

The lies were so egregious that even CNN acknowledged they were less than ideal.

"Walz did make a comment speaking to a group, he’s done it a couple of times, where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation," said CNN correspondent Tom Foreman in a fact check. "As you know, with your contact with the military, I know from coming from a military family, there is a difference between being in a combat area, being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you. There is no evidence that at any time Governor Walz was in a position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was."

"So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there. The campaign has essentially come forward to say, ‘Look, he had a long career, he would never want to purposely mislead people about this.’ It’s what campaigns tend to say," Foreman continued.

Meanwhile, in a 2006 press release issued by his campaign, Walz is described as a "veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom," the US military operation in Afghanistan. As modernity.news notes, some have charged that this is misleading given that Walz was stationed in Italy at the time, with his battalion providing base security in Europe.

Meanwhile, the Free Beacon reports that Walz knew his National Guard battalion was being eyed for a likely redeployment to Iraq when he decided to retire.

"As Command Sergeant Major, I have a responsibility not only to ready my battalion for Iraq, but also to serve if called on," Walz said in a campaign statement on March 20, 2005. Just three days prior, the National Guard Public Affairs Office announced that at least part of his battalion could be shipped overseas to the Middle East in the next two years.

Walz left the National Guard that May. Two months later, his battalion was put on notice that they would be deploying to Iraq.

When questioned about all of it, Walz decided to duck, cover, and run from a journalist before an explanation could be 'deployed.'

This is true. I’ve got more than one Combat Action Ribbon because the ships I’ve been stationed on fired into the combat zone and my ships sailed through waters designated as an area of combat action. Although we didn’t receive any accommodations I recall crossing Qaddafi’s “Line of Death” in the Libyan Gulf. They launched MiGs and the USS Eisenhower sent fighters to interdict them. I was on the USS Tattnall DDG19. That’s when I realized that even though I was at sea, there was an enemy threat. Later in life, my ship crossed Hussein’s Line of Death but Hussein never responded. We were a small but important piece of a larger component that makes lethal force projection a reality. We ultimately support the man toting a rifle engaging the enemy directly.
