Tim Walz’s Wife Gushes Over 2020 BLM Riots: ‘I Could Smell the Burning Tires, I Kept the Windows Open as Long as I Could’
The wife of Kamala Harris’s VP pick Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) once gushed over the violent Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 following the death of crackhead criminal George Floyd.
Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz in an interview said she relished in the caustic smells of burning tires emanating from the destructive BLM riots.
“Those first days when there were riots…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,” she said on “Nightcast.”

Her remarks circulating on social media drew criticism from conservatives.
“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,” noted The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh.

She wanted to smell the burning businesses so they could be her touchstone of what was happening? Fuck communism is evil.

Tim Walz’s radical history, particularly his support for the widespread BLM riots in 2020, has come into sharp focus after Kamala Harris tapped him as her 2024 running mate on Tuesday.
In 2020, Tim Walz allowed for BLM and ANTIFA to riot all across Minneapolis. Kamala Harris used her X account to help bail the Minneapolis rioters out of jail. Ironically, Tim and Kamala will call President Trump a “threat to democracy.”

Harris picking Walz as her VP candidate appeared to be such a political miscalculation that even former President Donald Trump issued a statement thanking Harris for choosing him as her running mate.
The nationwide looting and vandalism from the George Floyd Riots resulted in an unprecedented $2 billion in damage, costing the insurance industry more than any other violent demonstrations in recent history, and left at least 19 people dead.
The Democrat Ticket To Woke Hell
Current Democrat Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris in all of her lunacy has chosen the most radical VP candidate imaginable, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Aside from Walz’s clear socialist leanings is his equally atrocious track record.
Walz oversaw the destruction of Minnesota during the George Floyd riots, claiming that the carnage that did billions in damage to small Minnesota businesses was peaceful.
Walz has also overseen the influx of a non-assimilated Somalian refugee population that has cheated elections, bribed jurors, and alarmed the quiet Minnesota community with their own rioting.
And in a cowardly measure, Walz changed the age old Minnesota Flag to one representing the Somali Flag.
Chinese Nationals Who Illegally Entered U.S. Found With $250,000 in Gold Bars
Two Chinese nationals were arrested in East Texas after police found them with $250,000 worth in gold bars during a traffic stop Thursday.
Weijian Chen, 25, and Wenqiang Lin, 46, were arrested for money laundering between $150,000 and $300,000, according to court records.
“A Wills Point detective pulled over the vehicle that Chen and Lin were riding in after he noticed the car was following another vehicle too closely. The detective asked Chen, who was the driver, to speak with him at the patrol vehicle using a translation app. The officer said he believed there was criminal activity ‘afoot,’” KYTX-TV reported.
Adding to the detective’s suspicions, Chen told him they were flying from Los Angeles to Atlanta for a day to “play.”
And when asked about three bags in their rental vehicle, Chen denied the detective’s request to search them.
At that point, the detective deployed a K-9 unit which found $250,000 of gold bars in one of the bags.
The detective’s K-9 conducted a sniff search of the vehicle. The detective found a boarding pass for a flight from Los Angeles on July 30 that landed in Atlanta on July 31. The search then led to the detective finding a bag behind the driver’s seat with multiple pieces of gold bars inside. The value of that gold totals about $250,000, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit said both Lin and Chen claimed they did not know who the bag or the gold belonged to. Both men were then placed under arrest.
It turned out the two Chinese nationals entered the U.S. illegally in late 2023 from Mexico after taking an elaborately long journey from China, and were then allegedly asked to transport the gold bars to Dallas.
After contacting an agent with Homeland Security, the Wills Point detective learned Lin entered the United States illegally and was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol on Sept. 15, 2023, in California. He was given a notice to appear in court and released without having to post bail. Chen came into the United States on Dec. 17, 2023, in California and also given a notice to appear in court and released without having to post bail as well, the document read.
In an interview with police at the Van Zandt County Jail, Chen said he received the gold bars by someone asking him to take the gold to Dallas. He didn’t give any more information. Lin said he left China, went to Hong Kong, then flew to Turkey and flew to Mexico from there. Lin said he then traveled through Mexico with others from China to attempt entry into the U.S., the affidavit stated.
Van Zandt County District Attorney Tonda Curry said the two men’s travel history suggested they were involved in cartel activity.
“I’m sure there are good people who are leaving horrible circumstances, but among those good are people who help organizations that prey on U.S. citizens,” Curry said, adding she doesn’t know if the two men came into the U.S. as refugees.
“They were arrested for money laundering. No formal charges have been filed yet,” Curry said.
As we’ve reported, hordes of military-age Chinese males have been crossing the U.S. southern border with the help of shady NGOs and the Border Patrol under Joe Biden.

Chinese migrants are coming into America in record numbers and nobody knows where they go after they cross the border. I spoke with a lady whose property is the border line and she says the Chinese migrants tell her… pic.twitter.com/0ZDX72254m
In fact, illegal crossing by Chinese nationals have skyrocketed by 14,000% since 2021, with over 30,000 Chinese nationals illegally entering through the San Diego sector alone since October 2023.

“I Wish I Was Black”: Actor Ben Stiller Pledges $150K to Kamala Harris Over Her Ethnicity
Actor Ben Stiller declared he’s donating over $100,000 to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, mentioning her gender and racial identity as reasons he’s voting for her.
Appearing in a “Comics for Kamala” Zoom interview, the Zoolander star declared he actually likes Kamala’s nervous cackles, saying the bizarre bursts of laughter at inappropriate times show she’s genuine.
“It’s beautiful when she laughs because she’s a real person,” Stiller said at one point during the fundraising call.
“She’s also a historic candidate,” he continued, diving into her racial background. “It’s going to be the first woman president and that’s incredibly exciting. She’s Indian, she’s black, she’s everything. You can be more than one thing, it’s incredible.”

The Tropic Thunder actor went on to say as a “white Jewish guy,” he’s always wanted to be black.
“You know, I’m Jewish and Irish. I wish I was black. Every white Jewish guy wishes he was black. You know, get out there and vote and donate and take advantage.”
The Meet the Parents actor previously wore blackface during a scene in the 2001 film Zoolander.

Stiller’s comments drew criticism, with many pointing out he was playing into identity politics and cares nothing about Kamala’s actual policies.
Damn what about intelligence? What about policy? Ben stiller is a moron.

The Rule of Law And Property Rights
Respect for the rule of law cannot simply mean a moral obligation to obey legislation. History is replete with too many examples of tyrannical legislation for that notion to pass muster. But if the rule of law does not mean obeying whatever legislators enact, what does it mean?
Murray Rothbard argued that this question must be answered by reference to ethical guidelines, which he constructed around the concepts of self-ownership and property rights. Rothbard conceptualized property rights as inalienable and absolute natural rights. Seen in that light, eminent domain legislation is unethical and unjust. The example of New York illustrates the significance of this point, as explained by the Institute for Justice:
“In New York, eminent domain gives the government the power to take your property, even if you don’t want to sell. But under the Fifth Amendment, eminent domain must be for a ‘public use,’ which traditionally meant projects like roads or bridges. Meanwhile, the government must pay the owners ‘just compensation’ for their property.
“Unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court gutted federal protection against unconstitutional eminent domain when it handed down its decision in Kelo v. New London in 2005. By a vote of 5-4, the Supreme Court dramatically expanded the definition of ‘public use’ to include private economic development. In other words, local governments can condemn homes and businesses and transfer them to new owners if government officials think that the new owners will produce more taxes or jobs with the land.
“As Justice Sandra Day O’Connor warned in her dissent: ‘The specter of condemnation hangs over all property. Nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory.’”
South Africa has gone even further with its expropriation laws, by providing in its constitution that “public purpose” can include anti-racism, equity and protection of “vulnerable groups.”
“In terms of section 25(4)(a) of the Constitution ‘public interest includes the nation’s commitment to land reform, and to reforms to bring about equitable access to all South Africa’s natural resources.’ Section 25 (8) further states that the state may take ‘legislative steps and other measures … in order to redress the results of past racial discrimination.’”
Under proposed amendments for expropriation without compensation, just compensation would include nil compensation, meaning that nil compensation would be explicitly permitted under the constitutional provisions requiring payment of compensation. After all, the constitution does not specify any amount of payment but states simply that the amount paid must be just and equitable. The argument is that an amount of nil would in some cases be just and equitable and that “expropriation without compensation” is therefore already implicitly permitted:
“The Committee, reporting in November, concluded in favour of amendment ‘to make explicit that which is implicit’, namely that EWC is permissible (CRC, 2018: 34). EWC, it affirmed, is a justifiable objective, which is already provided for, but amendment should nonetheless be pursued.”
Any legal system which purports to protect property rights but empowers the state to extinguish property rights in the “public interest” cannot purport to uphold the rule of law, unless the rule of law is to become a meaningless idea which means “do whatever the state commands.”
In its traditional sense, the concept of the rule of law did not mean simply “obey the government.” It also reflected the ideal of individual liberty and the idea that the law should grant all individuals equal protection for their rights to liberty and property. As David Gordon has observed, “The rule of law is an ideal commanding wide respect, by no means confined to those of classical-liberal or libertarian inclinations.” It commands wide respect precisely because it transcends political and ideological divisions, reflecting the ideal that all citizens enjoy the equal protection of the law against the violation of their rights. If the rule of law requires the equal protection of citizens’ property rights, then any laws which extinguish property rights instead of protecting them is not “the rule of law” but its very antithesis.
In “The Constitution of Liberty” Friedrich Hayek draws a distinction between what is legal, in the sense that it is permitted by the law, and the rule of law as a constitutional principle which limits the powers of the state, including its power to enact legislation that undermines liberty and justice:
“[The rule of law] is a doctrine concerning what the law ought to be, concerning the general attributes that particular laws should possess. This is important because today the conception of the rule of law is sometimes confused with the requirement of mere legality in all government action. The rule of law, of course, presupposes complete legality, but this is not enough: if a law gave the government unlimited power to act as it pleased, all its actions would be legal, but it would certainly not be under the rule of law. The rule of law, therefore, is also more than constitutionalism: it requires that all laws conform to certain principles.”
Many terrible things can therefore be legal — slavery was legal for many centuries, and racial segregation was legal in many jurisdictions. Abortion and euthanasia, which many people also hold to be abhorrent, are also legal in many jurisdictions. Current race-based laws, described as “equity,” are also legal in that they are permitted by various equality, human rights and civil rights laws. But as Hayek observed, the fact that what the state permits is completely legal does not mean it conforms to the rule of law. Hayek saw the rule of law as “a rule concerning what the law ought to be, a meta-legal doctrine or a political ideal … a common ideal shared and unquestioningly accepted by the majority.”
Statutory interventions that undermine property rights reveal a painful truth — Hayek’s notion of a “political ideal” shared by the majority is breaking down. Many in the West no longer uphold the sanctity of property rights reflected in the English or early American common law. Instead, they embrace utilitarian precepts that accord significant weight to egalitarian ideals. In a cost-benefit analysis of seizing people’s homes to house immigrants, they would give significant weight to diversity, inclusion and equity as a benefit of such expropriation. Yet even in the face of these pressures — indeed, especially when faced with these challenges — it is important to uphold the rule of law in its traditional sense of an ideal requiring the protection of life, liberty and property.

Mexican Tourists Shoved Off NYC Subway Platform in Unprovoked Attack
A female suspect with a lengthy rap sheet has been arrested for tossing two Mexican tourists off a subway platform in New York City this week, according to reports.
The latest unprovoked attack of its kind unfolded at around 2:15 a.m. on Monday in Manhattan.
Two women, ages 27 and 28, were standing on a platform at a transit station on the Lower East Side of Manhattan where they were ambushed by a shoeless woman identified as 42-year-old Ebony Butts, WABC reports.
Witnesses say the suspect first pushed one of the women, who were visiting from Mexico, onto the tracks below.
When the victim’s friend tried to help her climb back up, the suspect shoved her off the platform, as well.
Good Samaritans rushed to aid the women, who were both injured, and helped pull them off the tracks.
New York Police Department officers quickly arrested Butts and brought her to Bellevue Hospital.
Butts has been arrested at least nine times since 1999 and has been deemed an “emotionally disturbed person,” the New York Post reports.
Has anyone ever attempted a demographic breakdown of persons diagnosed as having serious mental illness who commit violent assaults?
