To many across America, Gov. Tim Walz is an unknown quantity. Here’s what you need to know about Kamala Harris’ running mate.
From The National Pulse. Kamala Harris’s vice presidential pick, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), has a long history of pushing a far-left, progressive agenda as a lawmaker. In addition, the Minnesota Democrat has been plagued by personal controversies, including allegations that he embellished certain details regarding his military career. …
Join the conversation on The Community.
The National Pulse has compiled a brief history of Gov. Walz’s more controversial policy stances …
THE GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS.
As Governor of Minnesota, Walz rejected federal assistance and was slow to deploy the state’s National Guard to Minneapolis in response to the 2020 George Floyd riots. Despite his inaction, Walz blamed local law enforcement and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, calling their response an “abject failure.”
Text messages and emails obtained by the Star Tribune after the riots, however, show that state officials—not city officials—failed to communicate important details provided by local law enforcement. This delayed the deployment of the National Guard for almost 24 hours. …
A $250 MILLION SCANDAL.
The COVID-19 pandemic saw Minnesota rocked by a massive fraud scandal, where an organized group of Somali residents embezzled $250 million in state funds meant to feed needy children. In the aftermath of the fraud scandal, Gov. Walz and officials with the Minnesota Department of Education have been accused of failing to enact adequate measures to prevent the embezzlement.
After state officials discovered that the nonprofit Feeding Our Future had embezzled the funds, Walz moved to freeze any future payments to the group. … Despite clear evidence of a crime, Walz reversed course on the payment freeze following a pressure campaign in which he was accused of racism and discrimination …
A LADDER FOR ILLEGALS.
Walz, a proponent of the Biden-Harris government’s open borders policies, was a vocal opponent of former President Donald J. Trump’s efforts to construct a wall along the southern U.S. border. In an interview with CNN, the Minnesota Democrat quipped that he’d invest in a ladder factory to aid illegals entering the country. …
As governor, Walz has pushed so-called ‘sanctuary‘ policies in Minnesota—shielding illegal immigrants from deportation by the federal government. In 2023, he signed legislation allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, which could result in noncitizens voting illegally in federal elections.
TRANSGENDER ‘SANCTUARY STATE.’
One of the most troubling policies enacted under Walz’s governorship is Minnesota’s transformation into a safe haven for minors seeking transgender surgeries and hormone treatments. In 2023, Walz issued an executive order protecting access to “gender-affirming care” in the state. Under the rule, adults and children are ensured access to gender reassignment surgery and hormones, which could result in sterilization. …

A leader who does not have a close relationship with God is not fit to lead.
Lord, you are a God of nations who knows the hearts of kings and of the meek. We ask for your mercy to restore this once great nation to righteousness and hope. Cause the hearts of many individuals to seek and understand your word. Weed false teachers and rulers from among us and cause desperate and deceived hearts to turn to You. Make in each of your true servants hearts and minds of courage and humility that are needed in these times. Give us strength to combat evil and the ability to speak wise words. Reduce godless humanism and save our youth from paths of destruction. Give us discernment, Lord. Bless the remnant with your great strength to save this nation that was formed according to your word.
Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
I live in Minnesota. I am now retired from a career in public schools. Gov. Walz policies on equity and inclusion in schools and elsewhere have cost the state. While Education Minnesota received more funding, results in reading and math declined. The training requirements and policies for staff make for a difficult environment for teachers of faith.
Since entering office Governor Walz has taken our state economy from a surplus to a huge deficit.
This is not a person I would recommend for a position of greater leadership responsibilities.
Praying for our state and country to return to Godly values.

2 years ago my husband and I moved from the Twin cities to southern Minnesota.
Governor Waltz has done nothing for Me or family close friends.
Such a far left liberal. 😪
Never forget the horror of Mpls riots.
The curfews, the fears. The job lay offs and shut downs during Covid.
Churches and schools closed but bars and liquor stores left open.
