Good Man Tim Walz is a Threat to Creepy Trump/Vance

Tim Walz is everything they say they are, but are in fact not, which is why House Republicans are investigating him.

Republicans are pretty freaked out about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joining the joy ticket of V.P. Kamala Harris.

They're so freaked out that House Oversight Committee chair Republican James Comer of Kentucky has opened yet another taxpayer-funded, politically-motivated "investigation" into Walz.

He's also currently investigating V.P Kamala Harris for supposedly being a communist after Republicans spent years investigating President Joe Biden and his family. Is there cause for these investigations? No. Is it the House majority’s job to do political work for their party? Absolutely not. Does this matter to them? Of course not.

Monday morning, Axios reported that it's so bad that some House Republicans are concerned they will be making martyrs out of Harris and Walz.

One House Republican, speaking on the condition of anonymity to critique their party's investigations, said the probes are "unnecessary."

"We have an election to win. Don't make these people martyrs," the lawmaker told Axios.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) argued that investigating Harris and Walz is "fair" but that investigators need to be sure to "handle it professionally."

LOL, it's not "fair." Fair would suggest it was justified. It is not justified.

Comer has what can be generously described as a very bad track record with his "investigations," although they have served to harass, stalk, and share revenge porn of children of his Democratic targets, and to that end perhaps have served Republican purposes, which are not to govern but to terrorize and humiliate and abuse opposition until there is no more opposition.

Buuuut it’s not just Comer this time. The chair of the House Armed Services subcommittee on military personnel Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) is also investigating Walz for the way he spoke about his Army National Guard record. They claim they are doing this because Democrats investigated Trump twice; but there is a key difference. In both instances, there was already evidence in the public eye that Donald Trump had done something so egregious it placed the U.S. in national security and democracy jeopardy. First, Trump tried to withhold U.S. Congressionally-authorized funds to extort Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on his political opponent Joe Biden, and then in 2021 Trump incited a deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol in an insurrection and attempted self-coup after attempting to use the legal system to steal a secure and fair election he lost.

Gone are the days of the loyal opposition; Republicans are at war with anyone who sides with the United States above Russia, who does not embrace their fascist agenda so proudly published in advance via Project 2025, and who seeks freedom while not agreeing with them.

It's not for nothing that this investigation is centered on suggesting that Walz has ties to a foreign entity. It's all about the DARVO (deny, attack, and reverse victim & offender).

The party of Trump, i.e., the party of secret ties and election help from hostile foreign power Russia and secret deals with the Saudis would like to make hay about a Democrat having foreign ties. And there are no doubt some Democrats who have foreign ties, but Tim Walz is not that guy, unless he's been playing a life-long con while posing as a high school teacher, winning football coach, serving his country in the National Guard, and serving his country again as a U.S. Representative and then Governor.

Republicans are focused on China, even though experts say Beijing isn’t expecting things to change no matter who wins the White House. China, the government that in 2018 while Trump was occupying the Oval Office, granted 18 trademarks to companies tied to Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump. Yes, that China. But House Republicans aren’t investigating Trump and his family’s ties to China. They’re focused on veteran and coach Tim Walz.

Let's see if you spot any financial self-dealings in Walz' history: At 25, Tim Walz -- like so many young people -- taught a year of high school in China. He did this through a program with Harvard University (no word on whether Comer will be investigating Harvard for its Commie programs).

In case you're not convinced yet that Walz is a Commie, Walz also went to China on his Honeymoon! Oh, red scare! How very dare you.
