The Vetting of Tim Walz Begins in Earnest

The vast majority of Americans polled (71%) say they weren't familiar with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. That's quickly being remedied. Now you have to wonder if a new VP candidate will be chosen at the upcoming DNC convention in Chicago.

- Stolen valor? The retired Command Sergeants of the Minnesota National Guard basically call Walz a coward who quit rather than serve active duty in Iraq. Remember this whenever anyone calls him an Iraq vet. The letter states, "literally no one quits the position he was in, or quits the academy. Except him." basically calling him a coward not worthy of respect.

- JD Vance on Tim Walz. Can't wait for that debate.

- The widow of slain Minnesota policemen Josh Owen told Tim Walz not to attend her husband's funeral. "I don't appreciate people that don't support law enforcement."

- Tim Walz record on abortion is not something to be proud of.

Hate to say it but think most people will take the most interest in the men's Olympic basketball team only after if they lose a game. Otherwise they are just considered a juggernaut bound to blow out the competition (like yesterday).

Sorry for the "weird" schedule today. Went to the beach in RI yesterday to take advantage of the nice weather before Debby dumps a ton of rain on Massachusetts and the rest of the East Coast. Think many people had the same idea. Beach was packed.

Question has to be asked: how can the World Swimming Governing body ban transgender swimmers from competing against females (including in the Olympics) but the IOC not do the same with boxing? Does the IOC need to see someone killed in the ring in order to act?
