Speaking as a Midwesterner, let me give you my opinion of Tim Walz.
Walz needs to be seen in the context of the rapid fall of Minnesota, and particularly what happened to the Twin Cities.
The Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul used to be one of the nicest, safest cities
1/
in the United States. The Mary Tyler Moore show was set there for good reason, it was friendly, safe place.
Minnesota used to be purple and quite centrist.
The local Democratic party is called the DFL - the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party.
2/
That was how Minnesota politics worked - the cities in the metro area allied with the unions (primarily in the mining Northeast) who allied with the farmers. They went against the Twin Cities suburbs and businessmen, it was always polite, and the state was even.
3/
The big shift happened with the mass influx of Somalis, along with the Dems trying to bring in blacks from other metro areas. The "nice" Repubs being controlled opposition, they of course did nothing to stop this process.
4/
The demographics changed sharply, crime rates soared, and the political situation rearranged itself.
Along with much of the rest of the country, enough of the suburbs switched to the Dems, that along with the newly black metro areas, the Dems began to get a decisive margin.
5/
Polite and nice stopped right there, the new DFL played strictly hardball politics
They also turned on their traditional constituencies of the farmers and the Iron Range union workers. As soon as they didn't need the votes, it was slap across the face, and knife in the back,
6/
they had no need for those traditional white Americans, or there traditional values.
Minnesota rapidly became the most radical of the Midwestern states, even more so than Chicago-dominated Illinois.
7/
Walz is a snake & a chameleon. Yes, he hunts, does the fishing opener & sometimes wears flannel shirts - all of which are used by the entirely Democratic Minnesota media to portray him as something he is not, a folksy politician with a common touch.
8/
Walz is despised in the outstate regions where the hunting & fishing are primarily done. Those areas have flipped from Blue to solid Red, as they try to protect themselves from the radical in the Twin Cities - to no avail.
9/
The real Walz? He's the face of the Great Replacement, that is followed by the Marxists crushing the opposition.
That's exactly why they want him as VP. He brings no election advantages. They're not worried about the election, but what comes after.

Unfortunately, it goes much further than this. While a credentialed Leftist would be upset if harsh words are said about blacks & immigrants, they love nothing more than punching down on poor whites, particularly from rural areas. 1/
If you want to see just vicious contempt, trying listening to a MN liberal talking about poor whites from Alabama, Arkansas or Missouri. It's allowed hatred.
The poor whites are not accidental victims of the Leftists, they are deliberately kicked in the stomach & head
2/
when it comes to education, jobs, quality of life & crime.
The affluent Left has no intention of losing college slots or jobs to their client groups, or to live next door.
Oh no, it is the less fortunate whites that simply can't get into the colleges because they lack

This is an interesting post 👇, worth reading. There are some similarities with what I've been writing about for years, though other parts are different.
The most important mistake Dan makes is to confuse "tribes" with "race". Oh no, my frens nearly all of European history 1/
Interracial conflicts occur, they are particularly important, but they aren't the norm, and they also aren't the most important thing that is happening right now.
There is no white tribe. There are a vast array of families,
2/
who make up a vast array of tribes, who make up numerous nations, who made up what we call the white race.
The overwhelming history of violence - and it is tremendous - isn't between races, but between tribes and nations, both sides of which are white for Europeans & descendants
What Phillipe doesn't understand is that actions reveal preferences. Other than the castle, Americans can live in huge blocks of multistory apartments, and yes, we too know how to close off streets & put up tables.
That is cheaper than the choices we make - because we are 1/
in fact substantially more affluent, and this opens options for us that most take.
We like to live in nice, detached single family homes with an average square footage of 2,000+ sq ft (~200+ sq meters) on land that we own, with trees, flowers & so on.
2/
That option also exists in Europe - and the average European cannot even remotely afford it. Yes, its different from our suburbs, but nice detached housing on land does exist, and it is far beyond the reach of the average person.

As Carney promises, Canada will be a leader, but not in the way he says.
Two key numbers, 31% & 25%, explain the election, and the economic future of Canada. 31% is the non-white population (also foreign-born),
1/
and 25% is the percentage of the workforce that is government employees.
Canada is what the Dems have in mind for the US - a place where non-whites & govt employees vote on a party-line basis & determine all elections. In 2025, Canada has crossed the threshold, and the US
2/
is not far beyond, unless we all pull together & support Trump in his deportation & DOGE efforts.
Simply put, and it has been recognized for centuries that this is a danger - the parasites have full electoral control in Canada.

The translated post below is the best explanation I've seen so far of the collapse of the Iberian power grid.
My conclusion is that Complexity has definitively exceeded Competence when it comes to electrical power generation & transmission in Europe (US too?) 1/
For good reason, there have been many criticisms of the move to solar & wind power, due to the power fluctuations when the sun isn't shining or the winds aren't blowing. This is obvious flaw being met in many cases by having massive battery plants constructed,
2/
or having gas plants on standby.
However, we have another major issue which is the need to keep the entire electrical grid within a certain range when it comes to power generated & power used.
As explained in the post, there is a very reliable century old technology

A politically favored girlboss pilot, going at the wrong altitude and somewhat off direction, who ignored repeated corrective instructions from her lower ranking male flight instructor / copilot
Some will say it was purely pilot error, males do it too, and then get enormously 1/
offended at the idea that sex had anything to do with it.
But, of course, sex had everything to do with it, that is why she was selectively promoted to be an officer & helicopter, resulting in so many unnecessary deaths.
2/
I believe it to be likely relevant that she was of far higher rank and status than her warrant officer copilot. Now, from a military perspective, he was still the pilot in charge. But from her exalted position, as an officer with White House connections, she had far superior
