Short Take Politics

All Short Take political views are mine, not those of the Niagara Falls Uncensored moderator. If you want to debate national politics, defend the previous administration or criticize President Biden or the Democratic candidate for President, please do so on my personal page, not Niagara Falls Uncensored because “uncensored” should mean “unstained.” Above all, be kind.

Liberal monster joins ticket

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has made Minnesota a better place to live and he won’t apologize. Rather than cutting taxes, he spent government surplus on giving people a better quality of life. Now he’s been nominated for vice president.

“Kids are eating and having full bellies so they can go learn, and women are making their own health care decisions, and we’re a top five business state, and we also rank in the top three of happiness…. The fact of the matter is,” where Democratic policies are implemented, “quality of life is higher, the economies are better…educational attainment is better. So yeah, my kids are going to eat here, and you’re going to have a chance to go to college, and you’re going to have an opportunity to live where we're working on reducing carbon emissions. Oh, and by the way, you’re going to have personal incomes that are higher, and you’re going to have health insurance. So if that’s where they want to label me, I’m more than happy to take the label.”

Heather Cox Richardson explains how the man who branded the Republicans as “weird”, an Army vet and school teacher who served as football coach and led the high school gay/straight alliance is as common sense and matter-of-fact middle America as they come. He and his wife even conceived two children through IVF which the far-right wants to ban. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-6-2024

Walz whacked over George Floyd

Meanwhile over at Fox. . . Tim Walz is criticized as failing to effectively deal with the George Floyd riots as Minneapolis burned. He also has been at the forefront of a criminal justice system that has given criminal lesser sentences, easier bail and a fresh start rather than punishing them. Meanwhile, Derek Chauvin got shanked in prison. https://www.foxnews.com/us/tim-walz-kamala-harris-new-right-hand-man-ec…
