The Brew: Tim Walz Loves the Communist Chinese, But Has Little Love for the Truth

"And then these two Chinese soldiers put guns to the heads of the dissidents who refused to read Mao's Little Red Book, and ... " (Okay, so maybe that's not what he was saying.)

Happy Wednesday!

Today’s Brew focuses on the man of the hour.

Spotlight on Tim Walz: Loves the Communist Chinese, But Is Estranged from Truth

Tonight in Chicago, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will formally accept the Democratic nomination for vice president of the United States.

Will he address the charges of his stolen valor? Abandoning his National Guard unit before they headed to combat in Iraq? Letting Minneapolis burn while rioters went unpunished? Shoving COVID-stricken senior citizens into nursing homes while asking neighbors to rat out each other about mandate violations? Or will he address his lifelong “fascination” with the Communist Chinese?

In 1991, Walz indoctrinated the high school students he taught with enthusiastic stories of how the Chinese communist system “means that everyone is the same and everyone shares. The doctor and the construction worker make the same. The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month. They get food and housing.”

He deliberately set his wedding date for the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre because he wanted a “date he’ll always remember,” and didn’t seem bothered by the carnage of that event. He boasted about the Chinese treating him “like a king” when he was teaching there. A former student who accompanied him to China in 1995 has been sounding the alarm for years that Walz is “Maoist to the core.”

Have his governing decisions done anything to disprove that claim?

Is it any wonder, then, that at an event on Monday, he was introduced with the words: “Tim Walz is going to be the first Chinese vice president.”

Latest, Though Not the Greatest, Fib

Walz has been caught lying about everything from being in combat to being a head football coach to the circumstances of his DUI arrest. A new fib popped up Tuesday. Ever since IVF treatments became a hot political issue a few months back, Walz has been saying that if not for IVF, he and his wife would not have their two children.

However, on Tuesday, Gwen Walz clarified that they did not use IVF to get pregnant. They used a process called “intrauterine insemination.” But nobody’s making political hay out of that.

Abortion-Touting Governor Refers to Scripture, Then Expresses Hope Vance Family Member Gets Raped

This was Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday morning, first referring to the Bible to promote the idea of loving your neighbor and calling for an end to “anger politics.”

And then on Tuesday morning, while blasting J.D. Vance’s pro-life stance, the pro-abortion Beshear appeared to express hope that one of Vance’s family members would find herself pregnant as a consequence of rape to “make him go through this.” Or at best, that Vance himself should have to go through a pregnancy resulting from rape. (He’s a liberal, so he now believes men can get pregnant.)

“Think of what some people have had to go through because of some of these (pro-life) laws,” he said. “J.D. Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape ‘inconvenient.’ Inconvenience is traffic. I mean, it is, make him go through this.”

“What a disgusting person,” Vance responded.

The Trump campaign called on Kamala Harris to “immediately repudiate” the comments and “demonstrate that regardless of partisan disagreements, this kind of violent rhetoric has no place in our public discourse.”

Did Beshear apologize? No. In fact, he doubled down, claiming Vance is “trying to make himself the victim.”

Beshear can talk about Christ, but he’s doing the dirty work of Moloch.

Speaking of which, according to LifeNews, Planned Parenthood is boasting about the free abortions it has performed from a mobile unit parked outside the convention center where the DNC is now meeting, dishing out death the way Good Humor trucks hand out ice cream cones.

But the party isn’t just keen on hurting children in the womb.

New IG Report: Biden Administration Has Lost 32,000 Unaccompanied Minors

A new report from the Inspector General concludes that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lost track of at least 32,000 unaccompanied migrant children over the past five years. That’s 32,000 kids in the clutches of who knows who, and nobody knows where.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. ICE has not served a Notice to Appear or scheduled a court date for nearly 300,000 unaccompanied illegal immigrant children. Without the ability to monitor them, “ICE has no assurance [unaccompanied children] are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.”

This means more than a quarter million kids who were illegally brought across the border on Kamala Harris’s watch as border czar are in potential danger … and she only wants to talk about “joy”?

What’s the meme? “You had one job …”

RFK, Jr. to Drop Out and Team with Trump?

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is also making news today. As RFK’s campaign is running in the black, support has dwindled, and Democrats have conspired to knock him off more state ballots, Shanahan told the Impact Theory podcast they have two options: Stay in the race, forming a new party, or get out of the race and team with Trump.

“There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw more votes from Trump. Or we walk away right now and join forces with with Donald Trump and explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”

Biden’s Own Chief of Staff Knocks Harris

Whoa. Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, took what appears to be a serious shot at Harris, implying she was a dud as vice president.

“We were all united behind the idea she should be successful,” he said. “We just didn’t find the path to do it.”

Now, Klain does put a positive spin on Harris, as well as some blame on the White House for not doing well by her, but c’mon, man. You shouldn’t have to work that hard. Think Al Gore for Bill Clinton. The worst thing Republicans could say about him was that he was stiff as a board. Joe Biden may have been using his own tenure as vice president to fill his family’s bank accounts, but at least Obama’s people didn’t have to dream up ways to make him appear capable of doing his job.

Incidently, Klain has also been highly critical of the way Biden was knifed in the back and sliced from the Democratic ticket. “I think that was wrong,” he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper last week.

Nancy Pelosi responded to the criticism. “Sometimes you have to take a punch for the children,” she told CNN Monday night. “I did what I had to do.”

A punch for the children? More like a knee to the president’s groin.

From the “Who’s Weird Again?” File: AOC Suddenly Has Southern Accent?

Let’s head into the rest of our day on a lighter note.

We’ve hit the trifecta already with the Democrats aping the accents of the voters they want to court — first Hillary, then Kamala, and now AOC.

During her spirited speech Monday night, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who’s been known to thicken her accent to increase her street cred, suddenly broke out a Southern accent.

You have to hand it to her. AOC was energetic. She was “in no ways taaaahherd.”

The great John Zmirak has a new article: “Persecution Is No Panacea: It Leads Most to Sin and Surrender, Not Heroism or Martyrdom.”

Yesterday’s serving of Al’s Afternoon Tea looked at some of the hoaxes, hysterics, and haranguing from Monday night at the Democratic National Convention.
