Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker acknowledged Thursday he has two more children the public doesn’t know about—just one day after it was revealed he has a “secret” 10-year-old son. Walker, 60, confirmed to the Daily Beast that he has a total of four children—three sons and a daughter. Until this week, the ex-NFL star had only publicly spoken about one of them—his 22-year-old son, Christian Walker. In addition to the 10-year-old son, whom he has not played an active role in raising, Walker has a 13-year-old boy and an adult daughter who was born when

Comments:

He's just keepin it real is all (and he's got nothing on USA's First Son), and I'd certainly vote for him over Raphael Warlock, not that it matters seeing how Georgia elections are allowed to be rigged (thanks for nothing, Gov. Kelp).

Why is his personal life is any of our business? He believes in life for God's creations unlike the Pseudo Pastor who loves to announce his stance on murdering God's creations! GEEZE!

Does Mr. Walker support these children? Then it’s none of our business. We do have a “1st” son who will not even acknowledge his “secret” child. And neither will the little girls grandparents.

New York Post…how about taking a trip to Hawaii, collecting some DNA from Clinton’s black son and comparing it with Clinton’s. Any desire to do that? How about listening to those close to MLK about his sexual appetites. Walker is by far the Candidate.

There might be a "red wave" in local and congressional elections but the Senate may be another story with candidates such as Dr. Oz and Herschel. Having children out of wedlock isn't shocking these days but keeping them secret is sketchy. Did Trump know Herschel's secrets before he endorsed him? Did anyone working on his campaign know?

Has anyone considered that outing the kids might not have been good for them? Too often the sanctimonious who slam illegitimacy end up harming the kids. And they are at the front of the pack against abortion. Wouldn’t you like to peek into their closets?

How many read past the headline: Hands up? Walker, who has previously lashed out at absentee dads and bemoaned fatherless households, denied his three other kids were a secret. He claimed he didn’t tell voters about their existence because it could potentially expose them to unwanted attention during his race against Democratic rival Sen. Raphael Warnock. “They’re not ‘undisclosed’ — they’re my kids. I support them all and love them all. I’ve never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President’s Council on Sports Fitness & Nutrition,” Walker said. “I just chose not to use them as props to win a political campaign. What parent would want their child involved in garbage, gutter politics like this? Apparently it was the Daily Beast that was digging around. Surprised?

Get it out now and let your public relations damage control experts spin on what a wonderful father you are and how your secret kids secretly love you like crazy. But make sure to generously endow their college education trust funds, sign a non-disclosure agreement, and increase their monthly allowance payments substantially. Should be good to go.

I am going with the Democrat playbook here. It doesn’t matter to me. I have already donated to Herschel and will vote for him. The Dems said Slick Willie’s hundreds of affairs, a rape and oral sex in the Oval Office didn’t matter so I am all in for Walker. I am going to follow their playbook and vote Republican even if the candidate was a serial killer and mass murderer. It’s what they do so I will just follow their lead.

US women's soccer hero Megan Rapinoe has come out strongly in favor of including transgender women in women's sport, labelling the arguments against 'cruel and disgusting'.

Speaking in Central Park, Adams compared the modern-day uprooting of people of color from neighborhoods across the US—including the five boroughs—to slavery. “When I was in Ghana last year, [I] saw how families were displaced, torn apart and brought over to America through slavery in the hulls of the ships, living in dungeons, spending months and months living in their human waste, having their babies taken from them, and saw them dispersed and displaced,” he said.

Democrats in the Massachusetts state legislature have approved legislation to provide tens of thousands of illegal aliens with driver’s licenses—a vital tool for the open borders lobby. As Breitbart News reported, Gov. Charlie Baker (R) vetoed the legislation that would allow tens of thousands of illegal aliens in the state to obtain driver’s licenses. Baker said he vetoed the plan because it “significantly increases the risk that noncitizens will be registered to vote.” With majorities in the state House and Senate, Democrats have overridden Baker’s veto to ensure illegal aliens can begin obtaining driver’s licenses beginning July 1, 2023.

Texas taxpayers are paying the price for Governor Greg Abbott's plan to bus migrants who crossed into the U.S. illegally to Washington, D.C. As of June 7, $2.9 million in taxpayer funds have sent only 1,778 immigrants to the nation's capital, according to Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) documents–and the figure is expected to rise as more buses have already been deployed and Abbott shows no signs of slowing the stunt. More than $1 million of the total cost has gone toward security alone, while taxpayers are also footing the bill for drivers and GPS tracking, among other things.

Thank God! Hillary Dispels Rumors, Saying
A 2024 Presidential Bid Is ‘Out Of The Question’

This week, Hillary Clinton dispelled the rumors that she might be running for presidential office again in 2024. The 2016 Democratic candidate who faced former President Trump, told the Financial Times in an interview published Friday that there were no plans to run for office in 2024. “No, out of the question,” Clinton told the Financial Times. “First of all, I expect Biden to run. He certainly intends to run. It would be very disruptive to challenge that.” Clinton made her failed bid for President in 2016 and unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. Another bid for the office seems like it would be a wasted effort.

In her June 18/19 column at the Wall Street Journal, Ms. Noonan takes Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" slap at Trump voters and goes one — nay, two better. She refers to voters who question the results of the 2020 presidential election as "kooks, crooks, and freaks" and then smears the citizens who went to Washington, D.C. January 6, 2021 as "[t]hose poor stupid people." What is the basis for this criticism, which, arguably, is less ad hominem and, more accurately, descriptive of her mindset? Perhaps Ms. Noonan has not read Margot Cleveland's analysis in The Federalist showing how Georgia election officials failed to enforce the state's election laws in 2020.

Biden acknowledges America is in a funk, but shows no sense of compassion or determination to turn the tide.
