Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is once again facing allegations of lying about his past after an old letter from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, dated 2006, has resurfaced during his vice-presidential campaign.
When Walz was first campaigning for Congress in Minnesota, his campaign website claimed he had received an award from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce in 1993 in recognition of his efforts with the business community, as noted in a 2006 article from the Post Bulletin.
However, this claim was false, as pointed out in a strongly worded letter from Barry L. Kennedy, who was president of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce at the time.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday suggested that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was overlooked for the role of Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate because of his Jewish background.
Johnson’s remarks, made during an interview with The Hill, followed the announcement that Harris had chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate.
Johnson indicated that Shapiro, who was among the final contenders, “would have been a stronger choice” for Harris.

Israel is refusing to extend visas for a significant portion of U.N. staff and other non-governmental organizations, a Yerushalayim-based United Nations official said on Thursday.

Former President Donald Trump brought the “computer genius” responsible for displaying the chart he was looking at just before an attempted assassination to the stage on Wednesday, giving her credit for saving his life.
“I love that chart. I’m going to sleep with that chart for the rest of my life,” Trump, 78, said at a campaign event in Harrisburg, Pa., with the well-known immigration chart shown to his right.
The Republican presidential candidate then called up the staffer who was managing the slideshow in Butler, Pa., on July 13 — the day 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot at him.
“She should come out. Just tell her to come out here for a second,” Trump instructed his team. “Quick, quick, quick, quick, you got to get her.”

The Republican Party’s organizing effort in Israel is leaving nothing to chance, especially given the record of Kamala Harris, the U.S. vice president whom U.S. President Joe Biden has endorsed and whose record suggests she is to the left of Biden on policies toward Israel.
Marc Zell, chairman of Republicans Overseas Israel, told JNS that about 500,000 of the estimated 750,000 U.S. citizens living in Israel—per the U.S. State Department count—are of voting age and eligible to vote in U.S. elections.
“Our task is to reach out to them. The party calls them low-propensity voters,” Zell told JNS. “If we can get them to vote, then they’ll vote Republican by a large majority, which is unusual for Jews, as you know, here in the United States.”

MILWAUKEE – Former GOP presidential contenders Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis put their bitter feuds with Donald Trump behind them Tuesday night, taking the stage at the Republican National Convention to argue he is the only competent choice to lead the country for the next four years.
