Politics Doesn’t Anyone Care About the Walz China Stuff? Several troubling reports have sunk to the bottom of the media pond with nary a ripple. Credit: image via Shutterstock Here we sit, three days from the Super Bowl of American politics. For a year, your humble correspondent has been staring, unblinking, straight into the carnival-cum–melting-down reactor of American democracy. He has covered debates, speculated on vice-presidential nominees, survived two conventions (in one case only with chemical aids), and even written a little about politics’ redheaded stepchild, policy, all while editing about 20,000 words of copy a week. What insights has this year of torment, this great spirit quest in the wastes of American public life, brought? What questions remain unanswered? Well, for one thing: Why doesn’t anyone care about Tim Walz? I don’t care that he’s goofy and prances around the rally stage like a minor-league baseball mascot who has just discovered dexedrine; these are the hazards of nominating a public school teacher to high office. I don’t care that he struggles to load his shotgun or can’t seem to use football terminology correctly; if you expect a politician’s down-home persona to be backed up with real dirt-under-the-nails stuff, well, isn’t that sort of on you? The fact that he tried to get out of a DUI by pretending to be deaf makes me like him more. Nor do I actually care all that much about the “stolen valor” business; a veteran, particularly a veteran-turned-politico, fluffing up the old service record is hardly unheard of. (Refer back to the down-home persona clause.) All that stuff makes him annoying on the TV, but not much more so than any other would-be American overlord. No, it’s the China stuff that is weird. Walz has visited China many times—and there is no law against that. He speaks “fluent Mandarin”—no law against that, either. He fibbed about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square—well, that may be tasteless, but, again, not much for the prosecutors here. Getting married on Tiananmen Square’s anniversary? Ditto. At some point, though, you wonder. The Daily Mail, that publication of consummate professionalism, dug up and interviewed Walz’s long-lost lover from his 1989 stint as a teacher in China. She happens to have been the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party labor leader. Does that mean anything? Not necessarily. There are many officials in the CCP, and some of them have daughters. Not everything has to be a communist police-state plot of honeypots and rubber hoses. But isn’t it worth asking the question? How about the fact that, per the New York Post and a congressional committee, Walz was flagged by personnel in the Department of Homeland Security for his activities in China? Does that mean anything? Not necessarily. Your humble correspondent has, at various points, been on the official list for the special boarding pass and the impromptu airport massage treatments that go with it; he has yet to mount a serious challenge to American security. But, were your h.c. running for public office, it would not be remiss for the press to poke around and figure out whether something was going on there.  Donald Trump underwent years of scrutiny over more tenuous and fanciful connections to Russia. Yet the mainstream press has all but ignored the Walz-China sideshow. (As of writing, the New York Times and Washington Post have published no reporting on the Mail’s interview with Walz’s erstwhile squeeze.) This doesn’t seem terribly healthy, with less than a week left to decide whether this man will be (dear old hackneyed cliche) a heartbeat from the presidency. It is a little redolent of the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was also spearheaded by the Post and the Mail. We have written elsewhere that democracy is on the ballot, although not in the way you’d expect. One side represents the continued progress of technocratic rule and the corollary reduction of politics’ importance—another step down the slope away from republican rule—with the aid of a captive press. The other represents an effort to preserve and (aspirationally, anyway) to strengthen political control over American public life. I am not in any way persuaded that Walz is a Manchurian candidate or even a particularly compromised character; there are, however, unusual things reported about him that warrant an accounting. As things stand, Walz is what is called technically an unlimited liability. All could very well be in order, but do you feel as if you really know? Don’t you feel like you’re owed that information before you have to throw the lever? That’s the nut. If you think democratic government in the conventional sense of the phrase is important, which team is more aligned: the fellows in red, who are thwarted by opposition officials and legislators at every turn, who are constantly scrutinized by an adversarial press, whose first run at an administration was so leaky that the media reported personnel and policy changes before the decisions were disseminated internally? Or the fellows in blue, who have been running the government around the president for some time, and whose quirks of biography have been passed over in near silence?

Politics Can Trump Alone Can Fix the McFlurry Machine? There is one candidate who is promising to take on the shoddiness of modern America. Credit: image via Getty Images In the waning weeks of the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump found no friendlier turf than the kitchen inside a McDonald’s. The former president has undoubtedly placed untold orders at restaurants in the iconic American fast-food chain, but on October 20 at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, he ventured to the opposite side of the counter to receive instruction in french-fry cooking, salting, and packaging. The publicity stunt put the final nail in the coffin to one of the Harris-Walz campaign’s oddest and most ill-conceived arguments against Trump: the implication that either candidate on the Democratic ticket was more familiar with Big Macs and McNuggets than their adversary.  This was classic Trump brinksmanship—accused of not being able to find his way around a McDonald’s kitchen, he proceeded to learn on the job, on camera, with the pluck of a contestant on Undercover Boss—but this triumph was not the former president’s most consequential McDonald’s moment of the month. About a week after his rendezvous with the deep fryer, Trump took to X to make a bold proclamation: “WHEN I’M PRESIDENT THE MCDONALD’S ICE CREAM MACHINES WILL WORK GREAT AGAIN!” (Emphasis in original, of course.) What led Trump to make this promise? During his stint at the McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, had he encountered a faulty ice cream machine firsthand? Or, more likely, during his years of patronizing McDonald’s, had he himself attempted to order ice cream only to be told that the machine was not functioning? In fact, McDonald’s ice cream machines have acquired such a poor reputation for reliability that an entire website exists solely to inform users of the condition of local McDonald’s ice cream machines—as in, which ones are in mere working order. A possible first step towards remedying our ice cream machine nightmare was taken by Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, who, last week, announced on X that the U.S. Copyright Office will now authorize franchisees to repair defective ice cream machines without relying on the manufacturer. Whether Trump, should he win the White House, possesses any additional powers to ensure the reliability of the ice cream machine infrastructure is unclear, but the viability of his promise is beside the point.  First, that Trump is even aware of the ice cream machine outages reflects his genuinely populist sensibility. He knows what it is like to drive up to—or, well, to be driven up to, anyway—a fast food restaurant with expectations of a sweet treat, only to be informed that the treat is unavailable or that it is such a pain to make that it will be prepared only grudgingly. Some years back, someone in my family went to an area Burger King and asked, expectantly, whether the restaurant carried milkshakes. The reply came over the speaker accompanied by a deep sigh: “Unfortunately, yes”—an answer strongly suggestive of faltering or unreliable milkshake-making equipment. That Trump can relate to this state of affairs confirms his status as a man of the people.  Second, that Trump pledges to restore the ice cream machines to working order reflects his image as a builder, a doer, a man of action. In a now-forgotten 2015 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Bill Clinton presciently and perceptively identified this as part of Trump’s popularity among Republican voters. “Trump says, ‘OK, I supported Democrats, I supported Republicans, yeah, I used to be friends with Bill Clinton, who cares—I run things and I’ve built things, and you need somebody that will go in there and fix it,’” Clinton said nine years ago, speaking in the voice of Trump to elucidate his appeal. “He’s a master brander, and there is a macho appeal to saying, ‘I’m just sick of nothing happening. I make things happen. Vote for me.’” This is true even while acknowledging that Trump alone perhaps cannot effectuate improvements in McDonald’s ice cream machine operations. His awareness of the various ways in which the country is needlessly malfunctioning and breaking down is in itself salutary. If you have ever been let down by a nonfunctioning fast food ice cream machine, miffed at the low water pressure in faucets, or aggrieved at being compelled to buy so-called energy-efficient lightbulbs, Trump is your candidate. (He has opined on all these modern-day inconveniences.)  It is good to have public figures who acknowledge the senseless annoyances of everyday life. There was a reason why Andy Rooney was popular on 60 Minutes. I just hope Trump starts talking about grocery stores that no longer offer paper sacks, newspaper delivery drivers who toss the paper no further than the curb, and movie theaters that advertise a movie’s start time without factoring in 25 minutes of commercials and previews.  Can Trump alone fix these things? Probably not, but sometimes the promise to fix something means as much as actually fixing it.  The post Can Trump Alone Can Fix the McFlurry Machine? appeared first on The American Conservative.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane—no, its the cast of the Avengers in one of the most cringe-worthy political endorsement videos this political season. The stars of the Marvel blockbuster “Avengers: Endgame” have reunited not to battle intergalactic threats but to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in what some might call an “awkward” and “tone-deaf” attempt at political engagement. Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, and Paul Bettany gathered for this cinematic gem, which was graciously shared on Ruffalo’s X account. They joined forces to concoct a series of flat, mindless catchphrases for the presidential hopeful that show us why they are paid to work in front of the cameras and not behind. We’re back. Let’s #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts ?️ #VoteBlue! Vote @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz pic.twitter.com/Xp7YdUEqxa — Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) October 31, 2024 In a world where everything seems to demand a catchy slogan, the actors playfully tossed around award-winning brilliance like “Kamala forever” and “I’m down with democracy.” But when Cheadle quipped, “I’m Kamala Harris, and I say down with democracy,” it was as if they’d handed republican critics a golden platter. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in with a comment worth a thousand smirks, “Um, a little too much honesty here….” Um, a little too much honesty here…. Kamala Harris “tearing down democracy!” ? https://t.co/86NZtQstRW — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 1, 2024 The attempt to rally votes for Harris was met with swift social media backlash. It sparked a wave of comments from those who’ve grown weary of celebrity political endorsements, with one user aptly stating, “I believe we can safely say Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the Hollywood douchenozzle vote.” I believe we can safely say Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the Hollywood douchenozzle vote. https://t.co/X0XybC6pLd — Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) October 31, 2024 This isn’t the first political rodeo for these stars. In 2016, they rallied against Donald Trump with a similarly star-studded video. Yet, as they try to assemble for democracy once again, the real question is whether their efforts are helping or hindering their cause. Ruffalo’s urgent plea, “Don’t sit this one out. It’s the one where we will lose big…” almost feels like the plotline of a Marvel movie gone wrong. For fans of the Avengers tired of Hollywood’s political posturing, this video is yet another reason to roll your eyes and find solace in rewatching the classics—where superheroes save the world without endorsing political candidates. It seems that sometimes, not all heroes are invulnerable. Certainly, these ones need a script doctor.The post Avengers Assemble to Lay Down The Cringe first appeared on Worth it or Woke.
