Psychologists explain why Tim Walz - Kamala
Harris' VP pick - tells so many tall tales
Posted By: OhioNick, 9/14/2024 1:49:16 PM
Democrats have painted Kamala Harris' vice presidential pick Tim Walz as a squeaky clean military veteran, small-town teacher and well-loved football coach. But as media scrutiny of the Democratic nominee ramps up, fact-checkers are increasingly poking holes in his public image. Mr Walz, governor of Minnesota and a less practiced politician on the national stage, has been accused of distorting the truth about his military record, his son's birth, his time as a football coach, and a DUI arrest after doing 100mph in a 55mph zone. Psychologists have suggested his string of mistruths represent a worrisome pattern of dishonesty.

Charleroi, Pennsylvania, like Springfield, Ohio, is also experiencing a growing number of problems from a tidal wave of Haitian migrants flooding into their small town.
While the media focuses on the woes of Springfield, Ohio, and its recent flood of Haitian migrants putting pressure on the small town, other small towns are experiencing similar problems. One of them is Charleroi, Pennsylvania, nestled on the banks of the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh in the western part of the state.
According to the activist group America-2100, the rural town has suffered a 2,000-percent increase in its population of Haitian migrants — and crime and traffic altercations have soared as a result.
Muslims have been threatening boulangeries and restaurants in France, even those owned by non-Muslims, to become strictly halal. That means all pork products must be banned. Some outlets have had to ban alcohol, while others have declared that only men should shop in their stores during the week, and women only on weekends. [SNIP] After months of pressure and the latest altercation in his bakery in Vénissieux (Lyon), Alexandre Dallery announced on Friday that the boulangerie would stop selling pork products.
It’s funny just how insanely wealthy our “public servants” are. This is the kind of thing you expect from European royalty, not former American government officials. But how much of a difference is there really?
Jewelry, political mementos and a “stunning collection of American art” once belonging to Sen. Dianne Feinstein are hitting the auction block.
The “Legacy of a Stateswoman” auction from Bonhams, happening Oct. 8 in Los Angeles, will include some of the California Democrat’s most beloved — and glitzy — personal items.
“Legacy of a Stateswoman”. How classy.
A man from Ohio has shared his shock over learning his grandson was told he would need a translator for him to attend preschool in the state.
In a minute-long video, the man claims his daughter had recently attended a meet and greet at her son's preschool only to find that he would be the only one in attendance to speak English.
Staff at the school in New Philadelphia in Tuscarawas County, but which has not been named outright, told the boy's mother that she would need to pay for a translator for the child to attend if he wanted to be taught in English.
“Darth Vader” is now aboard the Democratic Party Death Star and CNN couldn’t be more pleased with a neocon icon’s endorsement of nominee Kamala Harris.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney announced that he would be voting for Harris in November, joining his daughter Liz Cheney who also proclaimed her loyalty to the current standard bearer of the Democratic Party, a warmongering entity that is dragging an unsuspecting nation into WW III.
Cheney’s blessing had the CNN talking heads gushing about the significance of getting Never Trump “Republicans” in line with the continuation of the disastrous Biden-Harris policies, even if they are now voting Democrat.
Many atheists, including eminent scientist Richard Dawkins, believe religion is antithetical to science.
But a blockbuster study reporting evidence of ancient traces of hemoglobin, a key protein in blood, encrusted into the famed 'Shroud of Turin' contradicts this 'black and white' vision of science and spirituality. [SNIP]
DailyMail.com has heard from scientists in other fields whose life-long pursuit of empirical truth in the lab has led them to 'believe in God as the author of creation.'

The retailer known as Big Lots is preparing to file for bankruptcy as other companies across the United States have recently done.
Individuals with knowledge of the situation said the discount home goods store may file as early as Sunday, Bloomberg reported on Friday, noting the company is planning to sell its stores through a court-supervised process. [SNIP] Big Lots, which has around 1,400 stores and employs over 30,000 people, has suffered from declining sales for years, including in recent quarters as rising inflation squeezed the wallets of its budget-conscious shoppers. Its share price has plunged to around $0.50, after peaking above $72 in 2021.
Qaid Farhan Alkadi is the Bedouin Arab taken captive by Hamas on October 7, and on August 27 rescued from his calvary in Gaza by the IDF after enduring 326 days in captivity. Many of the media stories about his rescue did not mention that he is an Israeli Arab. [SNIP] He was shot because he refused to tell Hamas members where Jews were hiding in the kibbutz where Alkadi worked as a security guard.
Israel’s army rescued a Muslim Israeli from Hamas’ terror dungeons. Keep that rescue in mind when you hear Israel being accused of committing “genocide” of Palestinian Arabs.
A bombshell congressional report claims would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was incapacitated by a local cop before he was killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Two months after Crooks shot the former president's ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a preliminary report from Rep. Clay Higgins offered a differing narrative to the official one pushed by the FBI.
While it was initially claimed that Crooks was shot in the head within seconds by a Secret Service sniper, Higgins' report claimed it was actually a local SWAT operator who stopped the gunman's hail of bullets.
Could anyone have imagined twenty years ago or even in the darkest days of the Obama administration that Islamic terrorists would feel free to rampage across the streets of Manhattan waving terrorist flags?
But here we are.
No arrests. No FBI agents knocking on their doors. Despite formal condemnations and press releases, the Jihadists know that they have the backing of the Democrats, the Left, and the media. What else do they need?
This is what they’re doing a week before 9/11. Can you imagine what they’ll do on 9/11?

So-called shock jock Howard Stern declared on Monday that he doesn’t “hate” former President Trump, but he hates the “stupid” people who vote for him.
Then again, with a net worth of $650 million and his 5-year deal with Sirius, estimated to be worth as much as $100 million a year, set to expire at the end of this year, Stern understands that at the age of 70, his schtick has run its course and he doesn’t have to worry about turning off half the nation.
“This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don’t, you are bad… I’ve been the victim of this,”
Hillary Clinton forcefully argued that Vice President Kamala Harris didn't need to clarify her policy positions in interviews and said that the 2024 Democratic candidate was facing a "double standard" from voters and the media.
"She does not have to do it, Kara. I'm going to just cut to the chase," Clinton told journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher on the "On with Kara Swisher" podcast this week.
"In fact, she's put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn't just have policies and concepts. She has plans about what to do," Clinton said,
