It's not unusual at all in the National Guard. Monthly weekend drills and annual training don't provide much chance to make yourself stand out, unless you hold a position of increased responsibility. I suspect that there's plenty of NCO's in the 34th ID that didn't weasel out of a deployment and really did carry a weapon of war in a combat zone that may not even have an AAM, let alone an ARCOM.

Thanks for the explanation, mesabi.

They aren't even trying to act like there was a democratic process anymore.

Everyone is unified as long as they do what you tell them to do.

Even undistinguished service is still service. He could have avoided the whole controversy by being candid or even self-deprecating about it. But he doesn't have the capacity for either.

There were more than a few of these seen around town!

Excellent bit on the DNC convention, hilarious stuff!

He is a pathological liar, he can't help it. He lies when most of the time, the truth would have been fine. His rank, the circumstances surrounding his leaving the armed services. Lying about combat, being a head football coach, how his kids were conceived, etc. And it is safe to say that Walz has likely lied about many other things we don't know about.

Walz is just a carbon copy of FJB. Lies, upon lies, upon lies!

Counting on their friends in the MSM to repeat the lies without ever checking on anything.

I believe more and more people are snapping to the fact the emperor is not only naked, he’s ugly as a toad, too!

All the big talk about "I'm speaking now!" and you can see that once matters turn on a dime, she'll piss her pants. You can actually see the fear on her face the moment the microphone is taken from her. Happened in 2019

Her husband was there? Where? He should have clocked bun boy.

^^^ Looks like she shat in her pants, there. Fucking pathetic.

Well, the USSS is clearly showing improvement in how they shield the protectee from unauthorized people.

The clip is from 2019. No USSS personnel are present.

Our society is actually very ill. Harris isn't even a viable candidate... she's basically not electable as she is far to the left of the electorate. We have no functioning media and her rise is entirely predicated on the progressive dominance in our society. Even with the progressive tilt of our institutions, I think RFK's endorsement of Trump erases any convention bounce. In fact, by the end of the coming week, we should start to see the results of the RFK endorsement in the polling aggregates. Pretty sure Kamala will not recover in the polling. The MSM will continue to pretend she has 'energy' and 'momentum'.

Tell me you're stupid without saying it...

A house near my neighborhood boldly displays huge homemade signs promoting Harris-Walz.

How can TDS be so bad that these two (draw your own conclusions here) are better than DJT-JDV?

Well, I don't blame him. I would vote for a Golden Retriever or a KKK Grand Dragon if he had an "R" next to his name. . . I can't think of any scenario by which I would EVER vote for a dem, no matter who the candidates are. I see these elections more about issues and party platforms than about the individual candidates. This is why I held my nose and voted for the Manchurian Candidate (mccain) and the bozo from Utah. I imagine many feel the same about their election choices this year.

I wonder how much they paid for this guy? Later in the video I wonder how it is that Republican millionaires and billionaires are pure evil when Democrat supporting millionaires and billionaires are somehow there for the... people?

Ahhh the DNC… What a shitshow.

So, being on the front lines for the majority of it (If you see some of the videos & News clips, my merry band of misfits and I were the ones in the black BDU style uniforms- our riot gear was stashed nearby). Yeah, a few things tossed at us by the punks in the crowds: Frozen water bottles, rocks, other misc. items. THANKFULLY no major fireworks this time as we seen in the 2020 riots and other "mostly peaceful protests" There were a handful of arrests, but nothing like we were planning for. We planned for HUNDREDS of arrests. And only a few Officers got hurt, nothing serious. I don’t think protesters total were over 20,000.

FUN FACT: Cook Co States Attorney kim foxx has set a bad president in the past, as she has ordered her office not to prosecute any protesters (free Palestine bullshit, women's rights crap…). However, all of a sudden she's going full bore after THESE protesters! (Most of which are the same people) Why? Because her political masters (The Democratic Party) told her to. I'm interested to see how this is going to turn out in court, because last time I checked, that whole "Justice" thing was supposed to be spread evenly.



Day 1 & 2 (Sat & Sun) were uneventful at Navy Pier for the press party & delegate party. A small protest outside, but nothing major. I did get to see one of the more deprecating things: There was a "Cheering Section" of about 15-20 people just cheering as the press (on Sat) then the delegates (on Sun) got off the bus. They (the DNC committee) PAID people to cheer… I don’t know what was more embarrassing; the fact that there's people willing to pay you to stand around and clap like a fuckin' moron, or that some fuckin' moron will actually take that job.



Day3 (Mon, 1st day of DNC) Protesters (mostly anqueefa type) tore down one or two sections of the fence surrounding United Center. Nothing major, and was easily repaired. Funny how they don't want a fence and armed people to protect the Country, but they want a fence and armed people to protect their oh-so-important convention... A few arrests made between the protests around United Center and in Downtown. Small fights between the protesters and the Police, again, nothing major. Droolin Joe was here, they sang his praises, tossed the roses, then they shuffled Joey off to Calif so he couldn't embarrass himself, or the Democratic Party any further.



Day 4 & 5 (Tues & Wed) Smaller protests at United Center, the larger protests were centered around 500 W Madison, Olgive Station, and the building houses multiple Consulates including the Israeli Consulate. Yeah, more arrests were made here, a few fights with the police, but all-in-all, not that bad those two days.



Day 6 (Thurs). A few more protests throughout the city, but most of them were centered around Union Park, a few blocks north east of the United Center. A little march, some flag burning, we (the police) got "motherfucked" a lot by the protesters, some stuff thrown at us (rocks, frozen water bottles). Thankfully, throughout the week, we were able to stop a lot of that shit before it started or as it started. A few more arrests made.



During this debacle, I was able to run into a few Secret Service friends that I've known for years. Yes, I know the overall opinion of the USSS, but these are some great dudes that have always done some great work. All former Military / former cops that went to the .gov side. I got an earful from them about the Trump shooting, as well as the goings on at the USSS and the rest of the Law Enforcement community with the DEI shit, the "Kinder, gentler" mindset… I was also able to run into a another friend that has worked in the White House, in and around the last 3 regimes. (Last obama, The Big Man himself, and the past 3 years with Droolin' Joe and the Ho).

Here's the rundown from them:

obama and mushell are mostly running the Democratic Party, and have been since his 2nd term. They, and Droolin Joe (in his few cognitive moments), especially mushell don't like Kamala! Because she AINT BLACK! mushell, who grew up in the "O-Block" projects can't stand that, and she hates everything "not black"! But Kamala was the "best and most logical" choice / puppet to carry the Democratic Party torch. A "DEI" hire all the way. Kamala also loves the bottle! A closet alcoholic. In their mind (Democratic Party), she fits the perfect progressive demographic, and is easily controlled / will do what is asked of her by her masters. Droolin Joe is, and has been nothing more than a puppet. Even when he was VP, nothing more than a useful idiot, but now that is lack of mental prowess is really evident, he's gotta go. He's been just wandering around lost in the White House more than a few times. Dr Jill finds him, tucks him into bed after Joeys long day… Then Dr Jill likes to find her favorite White House staffer while Joey is fast asleep.
