The DNC is sloppy and unorganized, a stark contrast from an RNC that knocked it out of the park. Joe Biden and Barack Obama took the stage when most of America was sleeping.

The government’s social planners are trying to force-feed EVs to a reluctant populace. This week, another crack in the plan appeared when Ford Motor Company canceled plans for a large electric sport-utility vehicle. They expect to take $1.9 billion in related special charges and write-downs. Automakers must continually adjust their EV plans because demand is […] The post Ford Cancels Large EV Vehicle and What They Don’t Dare Tell You appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

As we reported last week, Biden-Harris will give Obamacare to potentially millions of DACA people here illegally, most of whom will get it for free. Fifteen states are suing. Giving to DACA is only the beginning, the foot in the door. They are doing this with a rule when it should go through Congress. At […] The post Biden-Harris Will Give Obamacare to People Here Illegally appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

As Minnesota Governor Tim Walz comes under fire for making misleading claims about his military service, IVF treatments, and drunk driving arrest, it seems the vice presidential nominee has also made dubious claims about winning teaching awards. A Daily Wire review found several claims that Walz, a former high school teacher, won either one or two Minnesota Teacher of the Year awards. In reality, he won no such title. In a 2005 article in the Austin Daily Herald, a reporter who appears to have gotten his information directly from Walz wrote that “Twice, [Walz] was selected a Minnesota teacher of the year for ethics and excellence in education.” A local paper’s glowing profile of Tim Walz in 2005: Walz “served a tour of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom” “He was deployed overseas with his National Guard field artillery unit in Operation Iraqi Freedom.” It appears the reporter interviewed Walz for this piece…? pic.twitter.com/ID3Q2Fm4jE — Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) August 10, 2024 Walz’s biography at VoteSmart lists three teaching awards — a 2002 “Ethics in Education,” award, a 2003 Minnesota Teacher of Excellence award, and the 2003 Mankato Teacher of the Year award. In a 2006 congressional campaign ad, a voiceover simply claims that Walz was “teacher of the year,”  leaving the impression Walz won a state or national award. Here is another example of Tim Walz using his Command Sergeant Major rank in a 2006 campaign ad. Walz even implies that he served in Afghanistan. This is a full year removed from his demotion from a CSM-E9 to a MSG-E8. This is textbook Stolen Valor.pic.twitter.com/i0I47TBeyI — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) August 12, 2024 A 2006 article from Walz’s alma mater, Chadron State College, claimed “In 2002, Walz was one of six Minnesota teachers to receive a $10,000 award recognizing their high performances and contributions to the teaching profession. He also received an Ethics in Education award from the Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation.” Walz’s 2018 campaign website reportedly claimed he won the 2003 Minnesota Teacher of Excellence award, according to On The Issues, which cites the website. The website no longer exists, and instead redirects visitors to Vice President Kamala Harris’ main campaign website. But Walz was never selected as a Minnesota Teacher of the Year recipient. A  website for the award includes a list of past nominees – and Walz’s name does not appear. Walz did win the Mankato Teachers’ Association’s Teacher of the Year award — a prize given by members of the local teachers’ union — in 2002. In 2003, Walz won an Ethics Award from the Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation, which comes with a $10,000 prize. But this is not a “Teacher of the Year” award, nor is it two awards, as the Chadron State College article claimed. Walz has won two awards related to his teaching, but he did not win any statewide “Teacher of the Year” awards, as his campaign has led many to believe. The governor’s claims about his awards are similar to misleading statements he has made about his military service. He served honorably, but he did not see combat in the Middle East or retire as a command sergeant major, as he has claimed or implied multiple times. Requests to Walz and the Harris-Walz campaign were not returned prior to press time.

The competition on this season of America’s Got Talent is heating up during the season 19 quarterfinals. In a new twist this year, each judge has a Live Golden Buzzer they can bestow on one act they deem worthy of heading straight to the finals. Sofia Verga was last week’s Live Gold Buzzer holder and gave it to the Hakuna Matata Acrobats. On last night’s show, it was judge Howie Mandel’s turn to hand out the prize, but something unprecedented happened instead. The Japanese Group Airfootworks Put On A Heck Of A Show Their performance, a mixture of dance and acrobatics, blew the judges away. And while it wasn’t Simon Cowell’s turn to press the Golden Buzzer, he did it anyway. Terry Crews asked Simon what he thought of the performance and the judge said, “I am just about to get myself fired,” before standing up and slamming the Golden Buzzer in front of Howie. Poor Howie yelled, “I feel like I’ve been abused!” But it appeared the pair were both trying to hit the buzzer, and Terry said Howie actually beat Simon to it. A cheerful Simon admitted, “I just couldn’t help myself!” The celebration was incredible with the members of Airfootworks overwhelmed with excitement as Simon and Howie both joined them on the stage. Fans of Airfootworks loved the moment and felt the group was more than deserving of their Golden Buzzer. One fan wrote on AGT’s YouTube channel, “The shapes being in sync with the dancing in the background was such a nice touch to their performance, deserved golden buzzer.” “They definitely deserved that Golden Buzzer, because that was amazing! One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in any of these shows!” Someone else cheered. This fan made a big prediction, “Best act of the night by far. They could win it all.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
