Not my Knucklehead

"You, Sir, are no Chris Farley."

Reason #4,192 to hate Tim Walz: He has ruined my enjoyment of the word “knucklehead” - forever.

Since joining the ticket of the Democrat Party’s non-democratically elected nominee Kamala Harris, Walz has frequently described himself as a knucklehead. Although it’s difficult to interpret the motives of an insane person, it seems like that Walz has been attempting to connect with the word’s connotations: a person who means well but often does silly or foolish things; someone who is oafish, but in a generally friendly way. (Imagine Chris Farley “living in a van down by the river.” Or Chris Farley selling Callahan Auto Parts on a road trip through the Midwest. Or Chris Farley doing pretty much doing anything.)

Walz, however, doesn’t fit the stereotype of a knucklehead. He’s not “a little” off. As governor of Minnesota, he refused to allow the Minneapolis Police officers to do their jobs during the mostly violent George Floyd protests, presumably hoping that this inaction would destroy the city (which it did). He also signed a bill into law requiring tampons to be installed in high school boys bathrooms, presumably because a fellow insane person told him that teenage boys menstruate the same way that teenage girls do (which they do not).

This isn’t a crazy uncle who has one drink too many at Thanksgiving dinner or a middle-aged dad telling cringey jokes in front of his kids. This is a Lunatic Leftist who wants to destroy the fabric of an advanced culture that has thrived for over two centuries.

During the recent vice presidential debate with J.D. Vance, Walz once again referred to himself as a knucklehead. This time, he used the term to gloss over his lie about being in China during the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. Instead of standing side-by-side with freedom fighters who were ultimately slaughtered by the Chinese Communist Party, Walz was instead back home in Nebraska doing God knows what. (Possibly practicing spastic leg kicks or pretending to be a real man who knows how to hold a hunting rifle? Just a guess.)

Let’s be clear: “Knuckleheads” say or do odd things that are often humorous and ultimately harmless. “Degenerates” try to tear down successful cultures and ruin others’ lives, then lie about it after the fact. Walz clearly belongs in the second category, which is why he is so popular in today’s Democrat party.

As a common sense conservative, I support free speech and oppose censorship when its sole purpose is to suppress a divergent opinion. But I might be willing to make an exception in this case and limit free speech for Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz, one of the biggest knuckleheads lunatics on the American political scene today.
