«…and frankly if you make it harder to hire illegal labor, which undercuts the wages of American workers, I think you go a lot of the way to solving the illegal immigration problem.”»

Maybe Sen. Vance is simply too young to remember AL HB-56. Or maybe he thinks his electorate doesn’t remember (and maybe he’s right).

Right-wing media push old debunked smear of Walz’s military record despite his 24 years of service | Media Matters for America

«Walz resigned two months before the unit received orders, and Walz likely submitted his retirement papers even earlier.

During Walz’s 2018 gubernatorial campaign, retired Command Sgts. Maj. Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr wrote a “paid endorsement letter” just days before the election accusing Walz of “abandon[ing]” his unit in order to run for Congress. Specifically, they claimed that he retired in mid-2005 to dodge a unit deployment to Iraq the following year. This smear was repeated by Walz’s gubernatorial opponent in October 2022.

GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance, who wrote that he “was lucky to escape any real fighting” during his four-year stint in the Marine Corps, joined in on this smear today during a campaign event in Michigan.

Additionally, one guardsman who served under Walz recalled an open discussion within the unit around his congressional campaign during a deployment roughly a year prior to his eventual retirement — further shattering the notion that Walz “quit” and left his unit “hanging” in an attempt to dodge a second deployment. The guardsman said Walz “talked with us for quite a while on that subject. He weighed that decision to run for Congress very heavy. He loved the military, he loved the guard, he loved the soldiers he worked with.” The guardsman additionally told Minnesota Public Radio that Walz used his position as a member of Congress to help struggling National Guard members.

Another guardsman who served with Walz has said that Walz “did nothing wrong with when he chose to leave the service” and stated that he was “a great soldier.” That same guardsman said that Behrends’ smears “are ill-informed and possibly sour grapes by a soldier who was passed over for the promotion to command sergeant major that went to Walz.”»

Harris dares Trump to debate her as she campaigns in Atlanta: “Say it to my face” – CBS News

Good. The language of the school playground:

«”He won’t debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me,” Harris said. “Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because, as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face.”»

Just make sure he doesn’t have his “oooh, good one!” chorus when the debate happens.

WSJ remains trash

A North Dakota farmer juxtaposed with suburban women. Questions like “let kids choose their own gender”, “repeal and replace Obamacare”, “build the wall”.

Seriously, Wall Street Journal? Would you like to join us in the present decade, perhaps?
