It’s amazing what dropping Far-Left ideology can do for comedy…. Turns out you can actually be funny again! REALLY funny! Saturday Night Live is slowly learning that lesson, finding that there is comedy gold in Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and (weirdo) Tim Walz…. And they brought out some BIG names to do the skewering. First up was Jim Gaffigan, who I didn’t know was known for doing impressions — but he absolutely NAILS his impression of Tim Walz. Only one gripe from me: he didn’t do the leg kick thing! Come on Jim, if you’re gonna impersonate Tim Walz, you have to do that weird leg kick thing he does! But everything else was spot on and so funny! Watch here: They just introduced Tim Walz on SNL and it was executed to absolute perfection. This dude is so weird. pic.twitter.com/ZYhmaQ1sus — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) September 29, 2024 MEMO to SNL and Jim Gaffigan: Tim Walz only has about 5 more weeks of fame until he falls back into total obscurity after the election, so have Jim back on a few more times between now and then! This was great. But then we go to the biggest of the big guns when it comes to impersonations…..the great Dana Carvey. Dana has done so many Presidents over the years I’ve lost count. In fact, I was just re-listening to the David Spade episode of Norm Macdonald Live and David told the story about how in one sketch they had Dana Carvey play both Bill Clinton and Ross Perot!  And they used Spade as a stand-in for the wide angle shot.  Gotta admire Spade for being able to laugh about it all these years later…. But that’s how good Dana is. So seeing him come back to SNL to roast Joe Biden is the stuff of comedy legend. And. He. NAILED. It! Huge credit to the writers too, this was funny stuff. So watch here — Dana Carvey as “JaBiden”: Dana Carvey plays a perfect Joe Biden last night on SNL.pic.twitter.com/Uo4K9fYXGW — Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) September 29, 2024 Backup video player here if needed: BREAKING: SNL rolls out Joe Biden skit and admits he didn’t want to go away, but “they made me.” BIDEN: “A lot of people forget I’m president, including me.” HARRIS: “I just wanna say thank you, Ja Biden. Thank you for putting country first and for handing over the reins.”… pic.twitter.com/jL6qZheOzJ — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) September 29, 2024 And now the one missed opportunity….. Jim, next time you have to do that weird leg kick! Serious Question: Why Does Tim Walz Lift His Leg Out Like This? Serious Question: Why Does Tim Walz Lift His Leg Out Like This? I can't believe I am writing an article about this, but the Democrats are SO weird that they've forced me to do it. So let's talk about it.... Let's talk about Tim Walz and that really strange thing he does where he's constantly lifting his leg out in front of him. It's extremely bizarre! The hands go up and the leg goes out in front and he raises it up like he's doing leg-lifts in a gym or something. Have you ever seen a human adult do this? I honestly can't say I have. What in the Hell is this? Dogs do it, but that's more lifting the leg out to the side to pee.  At least they have a reason! Why in the world would a grown man need to keep lifting his leg up in front of himself? In case you haven't seen it (I wouldn't blame you for never watching him speak) or just haven't noticed, here's what it looks like: Tim Walz does a leg kick as he clasps Kamala Harris' hand in Detroit. pic.twitter.com/6ilG9eK8Sg — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) August 8, 2024 Here's video: What’s with the leg kick, Tim Walz? pic.twitter.com/fAtUBEg3Dy — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) August 8, 2024 And no, it's not like it's happened once or twice. He does it ALL. THE. TIME! Hands up, leg out: Why tf does Tim Walz ALWAYS do a leg kick, or knee hike? So strange..... That's what clowns do. Was he in the circus? Or maybe he still is? pic.twitter.com/6Kg3mMj7hb — Jen (@jenhsdracing) August 20, 2024 What are we calling it? The Leg Lift? The Leg Kick? Knee Hike? The form appears to be a straight leg out and up, no bend in the leg if you want to do the move correctly. Arms straight up, I can only assume for balance?

Cheerleader moves … I don’t get it pic.twitter.com/9skPeyPupu — Ida (@HeidiSnow381) August 20, 2024 Others point out he seems to be "playing a character".....the character of the dopey, bumbling Sitcom TV loser dad: Tim Walz is a whiteface minstrel show He’s playing the bumbling white dad in every TV commercial This is what the DNC wants to do to men pic.twitter.com/WRHFLROJZh — Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) August 21, 2024 How embarrassing! But I will say this....I appreciate the leg lift MUCH MORE when it's done with pants, a button down shirt and a belt. Because this....is not a good look: What’s with Tim Walz constantly lifting his leg? Cheerleaders don’t kick and flail about as much as this guy does. It’s just weird! pic.twitter.com/yF35YjZNne — Ida (@HeidiSnow381) August 19, 2024 I found this one hilarious.... This guy says he has the same energy as Richard Simmons and once you see it you can't unsee it: same energy pic.twitter.com/jUjA6pbcHZ — APOCTOZ (@Apoctoz) August 21, 2024 Simmons, of course, was famously gay. And many rumors persist about Walz giving off extreme gay vibes. What do you think? This one cracked me up: I've seen a horse lift its leg like this, but number a human male! I’ve seen a horse lift it’s leg like this, but never a human male. What does it mean? pic.twitter.com/mpw8FuK1Jg — Dr. Jebra Faushay (@JebraFaushay) August 19, 2024 Others are comparing the creep factor to the "Dean Scream". At least the Dean Scream ended his run. https://x.com/josephm_j/status/1821352951190847919 Will the Walz Leg Lift eventually end his chances? Is this why the Far-Left talking points a few weeks ago were to call JD Vance "weird"? Remember that? Did they know they had the UBER weirdo coming up next for Kamala's VP so they figured they would just use the word first and try to flip it? I think so. Check this out: Trump Team Launches "SAVAGE" Ad Against "Weird" Tim Walz The oldest trick in the Democrat playbook is to accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing. Remember when the Biden Family had sweetheart deals in Russia, Ukraine and China? What did we hear for 4 years before that news came out? Trump RussiaGate. It's the same playbook every time. And this time, what did we suddenly start hearing echoed from the Far-Left talking points? "Trump and Vance are weird." Never mind that it doesn't really make sense at all, Trump and Vance are strong, clear-thinking, masculine, red-blooded Americans.  Which, as I type this, probably IS weird to a Far-Left progressive. But it finally just dawned on me why we suddenly saw that narrative being pushed hard by the Legacy Media and paid DNC shills online -- because they know Kamala is truly strange and they knew she was going to pick an even stranger VP. So roll out the playbook and call your enemy "weird" before they can use it on you. Unfortunately, it's not working. And this ad just went live and is going viral. It's very well done, take a look: BACKFIRE! Team Trump already up with SAVAGE Ad against ‘weird’ Tim Waltz. Holy smokes. This will stick.

Last week, Kamala Harris announced that the administration is investing in small- and medium-sized auto manufacturers by giving them some money to expand or retool. It’s a farce, given the fact that they are destroying blue-collar jobs and sending them to China with EV mandates. “I believe in an economy where everyone has a chance […] The post A President Harris Plans to Destroy Blue Collar Automaker Jobs appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Hurricane Helene and its remnants slammed Asheville, North Carolina, and its mountainous county particularly hard over the past couple days in what one local official described as “biblical devastation.” The storm, which became a powerful Category 4 hurricane before making landfall late on Thursday, swept through the southeastern United States into the weekend, and dozens of deaths across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia have been attributed to it. Visceral images of submerged buildings have emerged out of Buncombe County, and in particular Asheville, where the National Weather Service said “devastating flooding” had taken place. On Sunday, local authorities said up to 30 people were dead in the county because of the storm. Devastating flooding in the Asheville area from Helene. https://t.co/lKFM5PQPps — NWS GSP (@NWSGSP) September 28, 2024 “We are grieving tremendous losses today,” Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller reportedly said during a Sunday evening news conference, adding that search and potential rescue operations were still underway. Asheville, a city of roughly 95,000 residents located in the Blue Ridge Mountains region, received 14 inches of rain over three days. Some other areas got as much as 30 inches, or four months’ worth of rainfall, according to Fox Weather. “North Carolina is strong and our first responders are the best in the nation. I am thankful for their hard work and for risking their lives to protect all North Carolinians. This is an unprecedented tragedy that requires an unprecedented response,” said North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat. The Asheville Citizen Times noted the storm caused power outages, dam and reservoir breaches, downed trees, and cell service disruptions, and created impassable roads and caused people to be stuck in their homes. Officials were also working to set up food and water distribution sites. It's a complete "catastrophe in Asheville, North Carolina."

Some residents in Conyers, Georgia, have received orders to evacuate, while others have been told to shelter-in-place, following a fire at a chemical plant. Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel said on Sunday that the fire was caused by a water-reactive chemical and a sprinkler malfunction. “What we know is about 5 o’clock this morning, a sprinkler head malfunctioned, causing a mixture with a water-reactive chemical,” she told reporters. “That chemical produced a plume that has been shifting north.” McDaniel said it’s unclear what chemicals are contained in the plume. She added that the plant was evacuated and everyone in the nearby area is safe. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was en route to Rockdale, the fire chief said. Images and video of the massive plume have been posted online. Meteorologist James Spann posted images from Interstate-20 in Conyers: From LeeAnna “James we are on I-20 in Conyers, GA.

The “swamp will be drained” if former President Donald Trump is re-elected to the White House for a second term, billionaire tech executive Elon Musk insisted on Sunday. Musk responded to a post on X from journalist John Stossel critiquing how well the former president lived up to his pledge as a candidate in the 2016 election to cut government bureaucracy. “Trump admits he failed to drain the Washington swamp. But, he insists, if you elect him this time, he’ll get it done. I doubt it. Government only grows,” Stossel said, along with a video. “He doesn’t need to be reelected this time and many people, myself included, will help him reform government,” Musk replied. “The swamp will be drained.” He doesn’t need to be reelected this time and many people, myself included, will help him reform government. The swamp will be drained. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 29, 2024 Musk, who owns X and other companies such as Tesla and SpaceX, endorsed Trump this summer after the former president survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Since that time, Musk told Trump he “would be happy to help” with a prospective Government Efficiency Commission to cut wasteful spending, an idea which Trump said he would “love” to happen. Also on Sunday, in response to a post on X warning that millions of migrants are eligible for naturalization under the current rules, Musk argued in favor of a Trump return to the White House. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!” Musk exclaimed. Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election.

The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!! Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers,” who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election. America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty. The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape. Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) said over the weekend that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is nothing more than California Governor Gavin Newsom dressed in a flannel shirt. Emmer made the remarks during a Sunday interview on ABC News’ “This Week” while talking about how he has helped Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) prepare for this week’s vice presidential debate against Walz. “I’ve known Tim, oh, probably since he was first elected almost 20 years ago. And I worked with him directly for four years,” he said. “I spent the last month just going back, all of his old stuff to get his phrases down, his mannerisms, that sort of thing. My job was to be able to play Tim Walz so J.D. Vance knows what he’s going to see.” “Tim’s been a complete disaster in Minnesota,” he continued. “And what’s happened is, he’s so good at being this folksy, nice, kind of down-to-earth guy until people get to know him and his policies. I don’t know if you notice, but his whole congressional district, where he played this character for several years of being kind of a folksy, ag-friendly, outdoorsman — he lost it in both of his gubernatorial races. In the last one, almost by 10 points. He’s not well liked because once you get to know the real Tim Walz, he’s like Gavin Newsom in a flannel shirt.” Am I Racist?
