It's because local and statewide machines control all the newsrooms. Everyone in any given state knows which pols are frauds and compulsive liars, often with fabricated resumes, they're allowed to rise instead of being exposed because they're greenlit by the respective machine. |
Walz was fact checked publicly by his own wife. Huge red flag. |
Your last statement is a lie, plain and simple. His complete military record would in fact indicate that he at one point in his career attained the rank of CSM. His retirement record is totally different from his retirement records and would indicate his lower rank for pension purposes. It is no different from a former SES attaining that rank but unable to hold onto it and retiring at the GS level or a someone who briefly held a senior SES rank retiring at a lower SES level. Your final SF-50 would show your last grade and title held before retiring. However, your EOPF record would indicate all the positions and ranks held in your employment record. So yes, Walz military records would indeed refer to CCM in his records. |
Are you being sarcastic? |
You are completely wrong. Walz never passed go or received $200 as SGM or CSM. He was an e8 and that’s how he retired. E8s don’t become E9s until they graduate from SMA. Walz never did. He made the E9 list. He didn’t graduate from the SMA. He was never an E9. He served as his BN CSM for a few months, but that didn’t change his official rank. |
Walz faces criticism for misleading IVF language https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4842488-walz-infertility-treatment-misleading-statements/amp/ Earlier this week, would-be second lady Gwen Walz shared that she and her husband opted for intrauterine insemination (IUI) to deal with infertility, not in vitro fertilization (IVF) as some of the governor’s prior remarks and statements had erroneously suggested. You are being obtuse. |
I don't get the military thing. I assume 99% of voters don't either. To military folks, does e9 sound that much better than e8? I don't get it. 20+ years of service is 20+ years of service. Was it the whole "first ever congressman with rank of e9" that he was trying to use? I assume there are lots of other e8 congressman before him? |
He seems to have great difficulty telling the truth. |
So what? |
“His retirement record is totally different from his retirement records and would indicate his lower rank for pension purposes.“ Whatever you are trying to communicate is unclear, but no matter, you are wrong. His retirement records correctly reflect he was an e8 who made the e9 list for promotion, but because he didn’t successfully attend and graduate from SMA, he was always a Master Sgt e8. You don’t receive the e9 promotion until you graduate SMA. His e8 rank is what he earned and is paid at as a retiree. He wasn’t promoted to e9 and then demoted when he retired. He was a CSM in name only when he served as BN CSM. I know this because this exact scenario happened to me at e7. I served as a First Sergeant e8 ( that’s an e8 that has a Command, an e8 that doesn’t have a command like Walz is a Master Sgt.) I was an e7 in military records and pay despite serving as an e8 1sg. Fun fact: a lot of Soldiers don’t like frocking; they will refuse to address you by your frocked rank as you technically aren’t the frocked rank. But Walz never was a CSM. He was always an e8. He was never promoted to e9, he only made the list to be eligible for e9 conditional upon his graduation from SMA. US Army HRC doesn’t promote you to e9 until you graduate SMA. It’s ridiculous you are trying to pretend Walz’s lie is a technicality- he’s straight up lying and he knows it. |
There is a huge difference between IUI and IVF but you’ve all tried to hand wave it away with some bs excuses. “Everyone uses IVF as a catch all term!” No, they don’t. The catch all term is FERTILITY TREATMENT. Walz is the one who went through it. He of all people should know the correct term. He deliberately used IVF on purpose to score political points. He knows the difference between the two. |
Nope. I believe he was the highest ranked waisted who served in Congress, even at E8. |
So retired Master Sergeant Walz tells so many whoppers that his wife felt compelled to publicly set the record straight. That’s what. I was answering the yo yo who asked if I was being sarcastic. Gwen Walz reveals she underwent a different treatment, not IVF https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/20/politics/gwen-walz-fertility-struggles CNN — Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz clarified in a statement to CNN that she did not use in vitro fertilization to conceive, sharing new details about her and Gov. Tim Walz’s fertility struggles as the governor has highlighted their experience with infertility on the campaign trail. In her statement, Gwen Walz said they used a different fertility treatment, intrauterine insemination. In campaign speeches since joining the Democratic ticket as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Walz has often characterized the issue of access to IVF treatment as “personal” to him and his family while sharing the story of his and his wife’s journey to conceiving their two children. |
Says someone who has never had to endure either fertility treatment. I cannot with alll these snakes slithering from up under their rocks. |
