Donald Trump is very happy with Kamala’s vice presidential pick. “There’s never been a ticket like this. This is a ticket that would want this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner.” The Fox News hosts on the morning show asked Donald Trump for his reaction to Kamala Harris picking Tim Walz as her […] The post Donald Trump Reacts to the Democrat Communist Ticket appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The wife of Democrat VP-pick Tim Walz said during an interview in 2020 that she kept her windows open for as long as she could so she could smell the burning of tires rioters set on fire during the Minneapolis-area riots in response to the death of George Floyd. During the 2020 riots, cities like Minneapolis burned, costing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Gov. Walz has been criticized for his slow response to the destruction and violence by the left-wing protesters. “We had more sleepless nights during the riots,” Gwen Walz told an ABC News affiliate back in July 2020. “I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.” The clip of Gwen’s comments has gone viral in the wake of VP Kamala Harris choosing Walz as her running mate. Daily Wire host Matt Walsh commented on the clip, writing, “Everything you need to know about leftist elites can be found in this short clip. Tim Walz’s wife sat by the window enjoying the smell of poor neighborhoods burning during the Floyd riots. She did everything but pull out a fiddle.” WATCH: Everything you need to know about leftist elites can be found in this short clip.

The ashes are symbolic of decades and generations of pain, of anguish unheard.” He added that he received a call from a state senator who told him that her district was “on fire, no police, no firefighters, no social control, constituents locked in houses wondering what they were going to do.” “That is an abject failure that cannot happen,” Walz said Zach Jewell contributed to this report  Related: ‘I Did It … He Dropped Out’: Vance Blasts Walz For Ducking Combat In Iraq

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) sounded the alarm on Wednesday after the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) rolled out a new effort last week offering millions of dollars to counties in 20 states to “improve access to voting for rural voters,” among other goals. CTCL was at the center of the “Zuckerbucks” controversy in 2020 after Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg and his wife dumped more than $300 million into the non-profit. Multiple states took action to prevent private funding of election administration after “Zuckerbucks” were dumped into swing states such as Georgia and Wisconsin during the 2020 campaign, money that Republicans allege helped Joe Biden. Last Friday, CTCL founder and Executive Director Tiana Epps-Johnson released a statement announcing $2.5 million of grant funding being made available for 20 states, Just The News reported. “Unfortunately, local election departments remain severely underfunded after Congress cut Help America Vote Act funding last year to just $55 million nationwide, which means most rural election offices don’t get regular funding from the federal government,” Epps-Johnson said, adding, “This program will help eligible rural and nonmetro election offices modernize outdated voting technology, improve access to voting for rural voters, seniors, and veterans, and make much-needed infrastructure updates to enhance election security and make voting smoother for everyone.” CTCL said the Zuckerbergs did not fund this year’s grant. The grant applications are open in Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. The funds are to be used between July 31 and December 31 for election administration. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Rep. Tenney posted on X on Wednesday, “Zuckerbucks is back & is targeting rural communities across our country this election, using partisan funding from big tech billionaires to exploit our election administration & process. We must pass my End Zuckerbucks Act & end this malign influencing of our elections.” In 2021, a House Republican investigation found that much of the CTCL’s election grants went toward voter registration efforts in “overwhelmingly Democrat-leaning precincts.” House Republicans, led by Tenney, sent a letter to Epps-Johnson requesting that CTCL “release its full financial data.” In 2022, then-Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf signed a ban on private money funding election administration, and last year, Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed a similar bill. Wisconsin voters followed suit earlier this year by approving two election-related amendments to the state constitution.

Jack Black said he’s getting the band back together despite comments made by the other half of the duo, Tenacious D.  The 54-year-old actor previously canceled the rest of the band’s tour after bandmate Kyle Gass made public statements about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in July. The duo was touring in Sydney, Australia, at the time of the controversial remarks. Black presented Gass with an opportunity to make a birthday wish while onstage, to which Gass replied in front of the assembled crowd, “Don’t miss Trump next time.” The “Tropic Thunder” actor released a statement following an avalanche of backlash over the comments, saying he was “blindsided” by what Gass said. “I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black said in a statement, The Daily Wire previously reported. “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.” But now he’s saying the hiatus was only temporary. “We need to take a break. Everybody needs a break sometime,” Black said at the “Borderlands” premiere Tuesday night, per Variety. “And we’ll be back.” The actor also confirmed that he and Gass are still on good terms. “Yeah, we’re friends. That hasn’t changed. These things take time sometimes… And we’ll be back when it feels right,” he said. Black also raved about being part of the band. “Look what I wore today: I wore the Pick of Destiny,” the actor said of his accessories while walking the red carpet. “I love Tenacious D. It’s probably my favorite job, if you can call it that. It’s a work of art, it’s my baby.” Prior to President Joe Biden dropping out of the race, Black attended a fundraiser for his re-election campaign, which was organized by actor George Clooney. Later, Clooney said that the fundraiser was when he realized Biden was not mentally fit to run for office again.
