Tim Walz Crumbles as J.D. Vance Dominates VP Debate

Walz thought he was ready for J.D. Vance—he was wrong. What started as a debate quickly turned into a one-sided beatdown.

Here’s how it all went down.

🧵 THREAD Image
J.D. Vance opened the debate by masterfully introducing himself with confidence, telling the American people that under a Trump administration, the American Dream would once again be attainable.

"I stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American Dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams," he said. He then made it clear, "If we get better leadership in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American Dream is going to be attainable once again."
As the debate continued, Vance flipped the script on Tim Walz when Walz attempted to blame Donald Trump for the Iranian threat.

"You yourself just said Iran is as close to a nuclear weapon today as they have ever been. And, Governor Walz, you blame Donald Trump. Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years? And the answer is your running mate, not mine," Vance fired back.
On the topic of Hurricane Helene, Vance communicated with the American people so well that even Tim Walz nodding in agreement.

He painted a vivid picture of the disaster, saying, "I just saw today, actually, a photograph of two grandparents on a roof with a six-year-old child. And it was the last photograph ever taken of them because the roof collapsed, and those innocent people lost their lives."

Vance expressed his heartfelt sympathy and promised, "I commit that when Donald Trump is president, again, the government will put the citizens of this country first when they suffer from a disaster."

On climate change, Vance didn’t hold back, telling Walz to his face that if Kamala Harris truly cared about the issue, she would be pushing for more manufacturing and energy production in America because it’s cleaner to do so here.

"If the Democrats, particularly Kamala Harris and her leadership, really believe that climate change is serious, what they would be doing is more manufacturing and more energy production in the United States of America," Vance argued. "So clearly, Kamala Harris herself doesn't believe her own rhetoric on this."
Vance got Tim Walz’s head hanging in shame when he exposed the executive orders the Biden-Harris admin signed that upended what Trump did to keep the border safe.

“We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started and said that she wanted to undo all of Donald Trump's border policies. 94 executive orders suspending deportations, decriminalizing illegal aliens, massively increasing the asylum fraud that exists in our system that has opened the floodgates,” Vance lamented.

“And what it's meant is that a lot of fentanyl is coming into our country. I had a mother who struggled with opioid addiction and has gotten clean. I don't want people who are struggling with addiction to be deprived of their second chance because Kamala Harris let in fentanyl into our communities at record levels. So you've got to stop the bleeding.”
At one point, Vance’s microphone was cut off by CBS News when he began refuting their fact-check on the subject of Springfield, Ohio, and Haitian immigrants.

CBS News said they had more topics to get to, but the apparent reality is that they were getting uncomfortable with Vance confronting their “fact-check” head-on.
Vance continued to deliver a sharp critique of Harris’s economic policies, pointing out the rising costs of essentials.

"If Kamala Harris has such great plans for how to address middle-class problems, then she ought to do them now," he said, emphasizing the 25% increase in food costs and the 60% increase in housing costs.
Vance then dropped a series of brutal fact-checks on Walz.

“Governor, you say trust the experts, but those same experts for 40 years said that if we shipped our manufacturing base off to China, we'd get cheaper goods. They lied about that.

“They said if we shipped our industrial base off to other countries, to Mexico and elsewhere, it would make the middle class stronger. They were wrong about that.

“They were wrong about the idea that if we made America less self-reliant, less productive in our own nation, that it would somehow make us better off. And they were wrong about it.

“And for the first time in a generation, Donald Trump had the wisdom and the courage to say to that bipartisan consensus, we're not doing it anymore. We're bringing American manufacturing back. We're unleashing American energy. We're going to make more of our own stuff.”
As the debate wore on, Vance savagely cornered Walz on his economic contradictions.

“Tim, I think you got a tough job here because you've got to play whack-a-mole. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take-home pay, which, of course, he did. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation, which, of course, he did,” Vance pointed out.

“And then you've simultaneously got to defend Kamala Harris's atrocious economic record, which has made gas, groceries, and housing unaffordable for American citizens... We can do so much better. To all of you watching, we can get back to an America that's affordable again. We just got to get back to common sense economic principles.”
Walz found himself in a tough spot when confronted about a false claim regarding his presence in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre.

After a two-minute rant, Walz admitted that he wasn’t actually there during the tragedy, exposing a major inconsistency in his narrative.

Vance continued to dominate, shredding Walz for saying that the First Amendment doesn't protect “misinformation.”

Walz said that claim was false, but unfortunately for him, we got it on video.

Clip: @CollinRugg
As the debate neared its end, Walz awkwardly appealed to viewers who were “still up” and missed “Dancing With the Stars” to watch the debate.

Things got worse when he boasted about endorsements from figures like Dick Cheney and Taylor Swift.

Throughout the entire two minutes, Walz totally fell flat, making his closing statements a complete waste of time.
Vance, on the other hand, ended the night with a bang, delivering a stunning critique of Kamala Harris.

"She’s been the vice president for three and a half years. Day one was 1,400 days ago. And her policies have made these problems worse," Vance said.

He emphasized that the American people would not achieve their full dreams under the current broken leadership and called for a new direction.

"We need a president who has already done this once before and did it well."

REPORT: The NIH is now funding research into ivermectin as a cancer treatment.

Yes, the same drug they mocked as “horse paste” is now being seriously studied—for its ability to kill cancer cells.

On February 10, the NIH confirmed it’s funding preclinical trials on ivermectin’s anti-cancer properties. Dr. Anthony Letai, head of the National Cancer Institute, said there’s “enough interest” and “enough reports” to take it seriously. Studies are already underway, with results expected in just a few months.

This follows 2024 and 2025 reviews by U.S. scientists showing signs that ivermectin can inhibit tumors. The NIH is now backing that research, pointing to ivermectin’s Nobel Prize-winning legacy and its decades of safe, FDA-approved use in humans.

But instead of welcoming a promising, low-cost treatment, the media doubled down. Outlets like MedPage Today rushed to dismiss the story as “right-wing hype,” ignoring the science and smearing anyone who dared to ask questions.

Why attack a drug that could save lives—unless the real threat is to their bottom line?

If ivermectin works, it won’t just save lives. It’ll shatter the system built to suppress it.

In other news, Republicans and Democrats are backing a bill that opens the door to mandatory Digital ID for every American.

It’s called the “Kids Off Social Media Act.” But it doesn’t just target kids. It targets you.

The bill bans anyone under 13 from having a social media account. Sounds reasonable—until you realize enforcement means scanning your face, checking your ID, or tracking your device… just to prove you’re old enough to speak online.

The bill doesn’t have to say “Digital ID.” The logic demands it. And once those systems are in place, they won’t stop at children. They’ll be used to control what you can say, see, and share.

Multiple states have already declared these laws unconstitutional. So why are Republicans still pushing them?

This is exactly how it started in the UK. Today, people are getting arrested for memes.

Watch @zeeemedia's report before they normalize this—and your freedom to speak anonymously disappears forever.

Polio didn’t disappear the way you think it did.

Google why we no longer see crippled kids from polio. You’ll get one answer: vaccines.

But Dr. Suzanne Humphries says that’s not what the facts show—and when you dig into the history, the real story is jaw-dropping.

First off, polio never actually disappeared. “Polio is still here. Polio is still alive and well,” Humphries says.

What changed? The definition. Once the vaccine was introduced, the medical establishment redefined what counted as “polio.”

Humphries explains: “Polio is called different things today. Whereas back in the 1940s, 1950s, the criteria for diagnosing polio were completely different to the year that the vaccine was introduced. The playing field, the goalposts—everything was changed… they were able to show a complete cascading drop of paralytic polio simply because of the way they changed the definitions of what polio is and what could cause it.”

Suddenly, cases that would’ve been labeled polio were now called Guillain-Barré syndrome, coxsackievirus, echovirus—or simply chalked up to heavy metal poisoning. “They didn’t have virus, or they had coxsackievirus or echovirus, or they were lead poisoned or mercury poisoned, which was—the mercury and lead were the leading treatments of the day,” she said.

But it gets worse.

The rise of polio, she says, directly mirrored the use of toxic pesticides like DDT. “The tonnage of production of DDT absolutely mirrored the diagnosis for polio.” And even today, “the countries that still make DDT today is where we’re still seeing this paralytic polio situation happen.”

So what about the virus?

Polio virus, according to Humphries, is what’s known as a commensal—a normal virus that lives in most people without causing problems. In fact, “95 to 99% of all polio is asymptomatic.” She described a study of the Javante Indians where “98 to 99% of every person they tested… had evidence of immunity to all three strains of polio.”

When asked where all the paralyzed children were, she recalled: “They were like, ‘We don’t have any of that problem.’”

Humphries also points to a 1916 Rockefeller lab in Manhattan that, in her words, had “the specific stated goal… to try to create the most pathological, neuropathological strain of polio possible.” By injecting monkey brains and human spinal serum into monkeys, “there was a big problem with that, which was released into the public by accident. And the world experienced the worst polio epidemic on record. 25% mortality.”

Bottom line? According to Dr. Humphries, polio didn’t disappear because of vaccines. It disappeared behind a curtain of redefinitions, misdiagnoses, manmade disasters—and a whole lot of propaganda.

And if they went that far to deceive you about the polio vaccine, what else are they lying about? 🧵
Did you know the original smallpox vaccine caused serious injuries—and was often contaminated with pus, bacteria, and fungus?

We’ve been told it saved humanity from a deadly disease, but what if that’s a lie?

Dr. Suzanne Humphries explained to Joe Rogan what happened to children who received the vaccine. They developed large ulcers, high fevers, and widespread infections. With no antibiotics available, treatments were limited to mercury, arsenic, bloodletting, or isolation in dark rooms.

These severe reactions weren’t considered rare. In fact, they were referred to as “a good take.”

What made matters worse was how the vaccine was produced. According to Dr. Humphries, it was made by infecting animals and harvesting the resulting pus.

“They would take pus from other animals, scratch it into the belly of a cow, then take the pus off of the big pimples that would form,” she said. The material—called “pure lymph”—often came from cadavers, horses, or ulcerating cow udders, mixed with glycerin, and scratched into the surface of the skin.

Even decades later, contamination was an issue. “There was more bacteria and fungus in the smallpox vaccines than there was smallpox virus.” One widely used version, Dryvax, was eventually considered so problematic that health authorities ordered all remaining specimens destroyed around 2009.

Living conditions at the time were “a disaster.” Streets were filled with human and animal waste, there was no running water, and sanitation was nearly nonexistent. Poor hygiene and co-infections absolutely made smallpox far more deadly than it might have been otherwise.

Despite all this, the smallpox vaccine is still presented as a flawless triumph.

But for those who experienced the injuries firsthand, and for those who study its full history, the story isn’t so simple.

“This is the one vaccine that eliminated, eradicated a disease,” Dr. Humphries said sarcastically. “Can you believe that fairytale?”
We’ve all been taught that the smallpox vaccine was one of medicine’s greatest triumphs.

But when you read the actual clinical observations recorded by doctors who lived through its rollout, a far more unsettling picture emerges.

It’s not propaganda, and it’s not hindsight. It’s primary-source medicine.

And much of it was quietly buried.Image

There’s a reason doctors love pushing vaccines. The more they inject, the more money they make.

The foot traffic alone brings in big money, but there’s another perverse incentive, and once you hear it, it will make you angry.

RFK Jr. explains: “Pediatricians who vaccinate 80-85% of the kids in their office, get these giant bonuses... And that's why they throw you out of the office if you fight back…You'll lose them their bonuses.”

Sadly, these perverse financial incentives aren’t limited to vaccines but across many areas of medicine.

Dig a little deeper, and another disturbing pattern appears. Once you see it, you’re left gobsmacked by just how far the corruption runs beyond money. 🧵
The video below is haunting—not because the doctor in it is malicious, but because she genuinely believes she’s helping.

She’s an MD with a Master’s in Public Health, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a former leader at Georgetown. Her language is warm. Her intentions seem pure.

Yet this interview perfectly captures how public health has lost its way.

After conquering most deadly contagious diseases, it turned toward chronic illness—and failed.

Instead of questioning why children are getting sicker, it doubled down on vaccinating more, earlier, and without dissent, often dismissing safety concerns as heresy.

Watch this video. Then ask yourself what matters more in modern medicine: children’s outcomes—or institutional certainty.

A lawsuit filed several years ago exposed something far more disturbing than a single act of medical misconduct.

It revealed how, during COVID, core medical ethics quietly collapsed—how consent became optional, coercion was reframed as care, and vulnerable people were treated as obstacles rather than patients.

This isn’t about ideology. It’s about what happens when fear, authority, and institutional pressure override conscience.Image

The real cause of heart disease has been buried for decades in favor of the lie about cholesterol.

40 million Americans take statins to lower their cholesterol, thinking it’s the best way to protect their hearts.

But what doctors never tell them is that statins interfere with the body’s natural repair system, weakening the very cells that rely on cholesterol to function.

In trying to prevent disease, they’re paradoxically fueling it.

This report exposes what really happens to the body when you take a statin every day.
This information comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.

For years, doctors have been taught that high cholesterol causes heart attacks. They’ve passed the warning along to their patients, and most of us have believed them.

But that idea came from one man: Ancel Keys.

Keys cherry-picked data to make fat and cholesterol look deadly while ignoring the real culprit: sugar.

John Yudkin tried to warn the world that sugar—not fat—was driving heart disease. But no one listened. He was ridiculed, silenced, and erased from history.Image

This drug reversed a condition that usually ends with a ventilator and a body bag.

Three patients were on the brink of death from total lung failure.

Then they were given intravenous DMSO—and something incredible happened.

Days later, they were breathing freely. One even had completely normal lungs within just a week.

You’ve probably never heard of DMSO—and that’s by design.

Once you see what it can do, you’ll understand why it had to be buried.

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) use exploded in the 1960s as a medical breakthrough.

There were thousands of studies.
There was massive public demand.
And there were miracle recoveries.

But the FDA dropped the hammer—and the pharmaceutical industry buried DMSO.

Why?

Because it worked.Image

In 2015, Scott Adams made a “crazy” prediction that most people thought was impossible.

He said Trump had a 98% chance of becoming president, and he made that call on a single observation.

The winning attribute that made Scott confident in Trump’s victory was his one-of-a-kind persuasion skills.

While political betting markets dismissed Trump’s chances, Adams argued—using his background in persuasion and hypnosis—that Trump was the most psychologically effective candidate in the race and therefore favored to win.

He built a massive following by showing how persuasion, not policy, drives political outcomes.

That insight proved correct. But it also revealed something darker. 🧵
After Trump’s victory, Adams pivoted to punditry—and during COVID, even he struggled to see the truth.

Scott strongly endorsed the vaccines, vaccinated himself, and publicly belittled followers who refused. Many later derisively called him “Clot Adams.”

In January 2023, Adams admitted—on video—that he’d been wrong and that the anti-vaxxers were correct. But he framed it as luck: the right people just happened to distrust the government, while “all the data” supposedly pointed intelligent analysts toward vaccination.

That framing matters. It reveals how even skilled observers of persuasion can mistake marketing consensus for truth—and how the same system that manufactures medical certainty also hides the limits of medicine, until reality forces a reckoning.
Last May, Scott told the world something most people never say out loud until it’s unavoidable: he had terminal, metastatic prostate cancer.

He openly stated he planned to use California’s medically assisted dying to reduce suffering.

He also shut down speculation—saying he had already tried fenbendazole and ivermectin and had no interest in continuing them.

The reaction was explosive.

People weren’t just debating treatment choices—they were watching, in real time, what a protracted, modern death actually looks like.

For many, it shattered comforting abstractions about both cancer and mortality.
