    I posted a link earlier but Minnesota population has grown every year except one, 2022, while Walz has been governor and is back to growing. Minnesota has the largest Somali population of any state but it’s still only about 1.5% of the state’s population so births of Somalis would not account for population growth of Minnesota.

    A friend of mine in Minnesota who is Jewish and like Josh Shapiro lived in Israel and trained with the IDF is sad to see Walz as VP pick.

    Because he thinks he’s been a
    Great governor and would prefer him to remain Minnesota govenor.

    This idea that Walz is some pro-Hamas radical is laughable. Most Jewish Minnesotans supported Walz and he has
    The endorsement of Minnesota Jewish groups.

    It’s a good choice for those of us who care deeply about the American political scene for democracy, and it’s a good choice for those of us who care deeply about Israel,” said Morris Allen, rabbi emeritus at Beth Jacob Congregation, a Conservative synagogue in the suburbs of St. Paul-Minneapolis.

    Tim Walz praised for support of Israel
    Allen said that a good relationship came through even when he and Walz were at odds, as they were over the Iran nuclear agreement nearly a decade ago. Most Democrats - including Walz, then in Congress - supported the deal, and many pro-Israel groups bitterly opposed it.

    “We may have disagreed on the Iran vote 2015 but he was straightforward and explained his decisions,” Allen said. “But he has always been a strong advocate for foreign aid for Israel, has been out front on those kinds of concerns, was a trusted vote on those issues, spoke out against hate and antisemitism, and I think is just a decent, caring human being.”

    I opted out of the X-bot add-on for Clutchfans months ago, and it has cleaned up things immensely.

    Easier to not expose yourself to inconvenient truths.

    Says the guy who denies facts that you don’t agree with.

    The Xweet crew is sufficiently triggered. I think those create the Xweets know they are dishonest and inaccurate.

    The question remains about those that post them here. Do they actually believe them? Do they just desperately want to believe them because that's the nature of team games? Do they not beleive them but hope to try and troll and distract?

    No matter which one or combination it is, it seems likely that @Commodore and @AroundTheWorld are unaware of how radical, extremist, and gullible it appears.

    Very interesting to watch this desperation.

    It's also a damning detail that @AroundTheWorld believes the Xweets he posts are actually the Truth.

    No desperation whatsoever.

    What's funny is how leftists love to label any disagreement as extremism and "misinformation".

    Oh how they would love to be able to silence dissent again like in the days when purple-haired alphabet people were running Twitter, or like in China.

    All in the spirit of "neighborliness", of course.

    I am (unfortunately) old enough to remember and grew up close enough to it to remember that similar verbiage was used in Communist East Germany to stifle any and all dissent.

    And I called it at the beginning of the thread that if Shapiro had been picked he would’ve been called a bad Jew.

    Of course you’re not triggered at all.

    U did the same exact sht when the Pelosi story broke. Post a sht ton of false tweets that insinuated or outright accusing her husband having a lovers riff instead of the man almost getting killed just for being Pelosi husband. Misinformation at its finest.

    Don't get triggered when folks are accusing u of misinformation when u don't even bother to fact check the tweets of randos u post.
