This time, Gov. Walz decides to be on guard

News Item: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz orders the National Guard to be on standby, should protests get out of hand. That was Thursday.

So very, very different from 2020, when he refused to call out the Guard to quell the “mostly peaceful” protests until they had turned into full-scale riots that caused at least  $500 million in property damage across the Twin Cities. 

Another progressive pinhead, Mayor Jim Kenney, also working on some kind of imaginary moral platform, also refused to call out the National Guard until after parts of Center City were wrecked.

I have a quirky memory. I can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can recall an anecdote about the 2020 George Floyd riots, which Walz patronized as the “urge of just a primal scream,” and how rioting is “how people express their pain, process tragedy and work to create change.”

The change was 100 buildings destroyed, hundreds more damaged. Walz actually was cheerleading for the rioters. 

Wait — it gets better.

In a July 2020 interview, Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz stated that she kept the windows of the governor's residence open during the riots. 

Why? 

"I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.”

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Mrs. Walz inhaled the fumes. To her, the arson seemed like some kind of a Girl Scout fireside marshmallow session.

Talk about the Odd Couple, who spent part of their honeymoon in China, a slave state, where they also led many student trips. It tells you a lot about their mindset. Better Red and Wed.

So, for these reasons, I felt he was a jackass long before he earned the sobriquet “Tampon Tim.”

I won’t go there. Nuff said.
