Tim Walz Bragged of Mass Immigration Overwhelming Small Minnesota Town’s Schools with 50 Languages: ‘Beautiful Diversity’:

Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, once bragged about mass immigration overwhelming a small town in southern Minnesota — calling the situation an example of “beautiful diversity.”

In late 2019, Breitbart News reported extensively on Worthington, Minnesota. With fewer than 14,000 residents, the town’s taxpayers were forced to hike taxes to the sum of tens of millions to expand the school district because of a rapid increase in migrant children enrolling.

Minnesota is one of several states spending billions to teach American English to newly arrived migrant children enrolled in its school districts. With more than 75,000 English learners, Minnesota taxpayers paid nearly $1.2 billion to fund its English as a Second Language (ESL) program in 2020.

In June, a statewide look at Minnesota’s public schools revealed alarming trends.

From 2019 to 2022, the percentage of fourth graders in the state who are not proficient in reading has increased from 62 percent to almost 70 percent. Likewise, eighth graders not proficient in math increased from 56 percent in 2019 to nearly 70 percent in 2022.

Perhaps most alarming, almost a third of all students in the state were deemed “chronically absent” in the 2021-2022 school year, meaning they missed 10 percent or more school days.

Donald Trump Rips Kamala Harris’s ‘FAKE and STAGED Photo’:

Former President Donald Trump on Monday ripped Vice President Kamala Harris’s “FAKE and STAGED” photo, featuring her supposedly speaking to FEMA on the ongoing Hurricane Helene recovery efforts.

“Another FAKE and STAGED photo from someone who has no clue what she is doing,” Trump said of the now viral photo, which supposedly shows Harris speaking to FEMA. One of the main issues — that countless social media users have pointed out — is that Harris’s earbuds are not even connected to her phone, as the wire seemingly drops to her lap. It is not connected to her phone, which is sitting on the table in front of her.

“You have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work!” Trump pointed out, pointing to a litany of failures by the Biden-Harris administration.

Meanwhile, Trump is headed to Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday, set to deliver relief items to victims of the storm. Trump also said that he has supplies for residents of North Carolina as well, and while he planned to visit the area too, he logistically cannot interrupt local responders, taking attention away from those in need.

JD Vance hammers Tim Walz on immigration, energy policy, and the economy in lively but civil VP debate:

 
The vice presidential candidates battled it out in a debate from New York City on Tuesday evening, and Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio gave Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz a civilized beat down.

Many noted that the moderators, "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell and "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan, fact-checked Vance while allowing Walz far more leeway.

Vance appeared to use his time to attack the policies of the Biden-Harris administration while taking jabs at Walz. He really unleashed his rhetorical prowess while discussing the crisis at the border and the streaming in of illegal aliens and illicit drugs.

"For three years, Kamala Harris went out bragging that she was going to undo Donald Trump's border policies," said Vance. "She did exactly that. We had a record number of illegal crossings. We had a record number of fentanyl coming into our country, and now that she's running for president, she says she's got religion."

Walz was asked to explain why he lied about being in China during the Tiananmen Square protests, and he rambled about his bucolic childhood before saying that he had simply been a "knucklehead" at times.

Vance also battered the Democrats on the poor state of the economy, a sore point for American voters.

"You've got a tough job here. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take-home pay, which of course he did," said Vance at one point in the debate.

"You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation, which of course he did," he continued. "And then you've got to defend Kamala Harris' atrocious economic record, which has made gas, groceries, and housing unaffordable for American citizens."

At one point, Vance interrupted the moderators and took over the debate after he was fact-checked despite the agreement that moderators would avoid doing so.

Vance and Walz butted heads on abortion, especially as it relates to Minnesota's far-left policies. Walz denied claims from Vance that laws in the state allow doctors to ignore babies who survive abortions and let them die.

The vice presidential contest was the last scheduled debate before the election.

Reactions to Vance's debate performance tell the story: 'Most lopsided vice presidential debate ever':

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) faced off against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) Tuesday night for the vice presidential debate in New York City. In an uncustomarily civil engagement by recent standards, the two men advanced disparate visions for America, traded barbs, and demonstrated — or tried to demonstrate — their value to their respective running mates.

Despite efforts by the CBS News moderators to help Walz and hinder Vance, it quickly became clear — even to liberal talking heads — that the Democratic governor was grossly outmatched.

In response to Van Jones calling Vance "slick, slick, slick" after the debate, fellow CNN panelist David Urban said, "Ten out of ten for JD Vance. Ten strike. ... He landed a lot of good punches, but he did so with an iron fist in a velvet glove. He was very smooth. He was likeable. He looked presidential."

Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany wrote, "JD Vance was very clearly a masterful pick for Vice President. His heartfelt response to questions and kind demeanor was very powerful. Really excellent judgment by @DonaldJTrumpJr and all those instrumental to the pick."

New York Times columnist Ross Douthat noted that the debate revealed why Vance was a great choice of running mate for Trump, stressing that the Ohio senator delivered "one of the best debating performances by a Republican nominee for president or vice president in recent memory and making a case for Trump's record ...

Walz often proved incapable of hiding his panic, such as when Vance raised the matter of censorship and extracted an admission from the governor that a Harris-Walz administration would criminalize speech deemed hateful.

On another occasion when Walz again looked utterly beaten, Vance said, "You blame Donald Trump. Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years? And the answer is your running mate, not mine."

National Review editor Rich Lowry later noted, "I've never seen a national candidate look as nervous as Tim Walz when he's not speaking."

"Walz looks rusty and nervous," wrote Josh Rogin of the Washington Post. "Maybe he should have done some press interviews to better prepare."

In an apparent attempt to expedite several of the beatings, Walz simply nodded in agreement and in one case rushed to surrender. When it came to addressing his lie about being in Hong Kong during the pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square in 1989, he admitted he was a "knucklehead" prone to getting "caught up in the rhetoric."

According to CBS News' own polling data, Vance not only won the debate but saw his favorability rating jump afterward.

Lawmakers also recognized Vance's clear victory.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) wrote, "Most lopsided vice presidential debate ever. JD Vance was on his game. Tim Walz was nervous, uninformed, and didn't explain why he lies all the time."

"JD Vance won big and demonstrated why he was a fantastic pick by President Trump," wrote Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). "He skillfully contrasted Trump's record of peace and prosperity with Kamala's record of disaster."

200+ fmr. generals, admirals endorse Trump:

Over 200 retired U.S. military generals and admirals signed a letter on Monday endorsing former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

In a letter released on Monday by Flag Officers 4 America, more than 200 retired military leaders announced they were endorsing Trump for president, claiming he is “a proven leader who will secure our border, repulse our adversaries, revitalize our economy, and keep America safe and strong.”

The retired military leaders described the upcoming November election as the “most important election” since the founding of America.  The retired generals and admirals warned, “We are at a historic crossroad where we must either choose to stand for our Constitution and its underlying traditional values which have made America great, or we continue down the path the current administration’s top leadership is taking into the deadly abyss of socialism and authoritarian cultural Marxism.”

The endorsement letter added, “As the Administration imposes divisive social engineering programs embodied in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the expense of warfighting readiness, China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and global terrorists are rapidly expanding their capabilities and aggressiveness. This did not happen during Donald Trump’s presidency.”

In Monday’s letter, the retired military leaders listed multiple political policies and actions that they claimed have left the United States in a “perilous situation,” including the southern border crisis caused by open border policies, the poor condition of the economy caused by inflation and other policies, and the physical and mental condition of the commander-in-chief, which they claim Harris “deliberately concealed” from the American people.

The retired military leaders suggested that the current national security threats facing the United States can be reversed by new policies. As a result, the retired generals and admirals wrote, “We endorse Donald J. Trump for president based on his proven national security track record. His policies, coupled with his ability to implement them in the face of opposition, worked before and will work again.”

The retired generals and admirals concluded by asking Americans to consider whether America’s national security is weaker or stronger than it was four years ago. “The answer is clear,” they wrote. “We urge our fellow Americans to join us in supporting the election of Donald J. Trump for president. Our future is at stake.”
