Walz Flees When Asked for ‘Reaction’ to Murder of 6 Hostages

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, walked away after being asked by a reporter what his
reaction” was to the news that the bodies of six Israeli hostages had been discovered in a Hamas tunnel underneath Gaza, including one American citizen. While at the Minnesota State Fair, Walz was asked “how much” had changed since the “last state fair,” and how Walz was “balancing managing” his role as governor and running for vice president. Walz, holding a vanilla milkshake, was then asked by a reporter about his “reaction” to the news that the bodies of six hostages held by Hamas had been found, to which he turned and walked away. Walz’s non-answer to the question comes after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) identified the six murdered hostages as being Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino.
Ynet News reported that the autopsies of the six hostages’ bodies showed that they had sustained “gunshot wounds to their head and other areas.”

Right-wing party claims historic victory in German state election

"The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won its first state election since the right-wing party’s establishment in 2013.
According to official results, the AfD claimed 32.8% of the vote in Sunday’s legislative election in the state of Thuringia in the eastern part of Germany.
The conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party is expected to come second, with 23.6% of the ballots.
The two parties were also neck-in-neck in the neighboring state of Saxony, according to exit polls, with CDU and AfD claiming 32% and 31.5% of the vote, respectively.
None of the members of Germany’s ruling ‘traffic light’ coalition – the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens – were able to make it to the top three in either of the states.
The third place in Thuringia and Saxony went to the newly-formed left-wing party of Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW). Despite being on the opposite sides of the political spectrum, BSW and AfD both call for stronger controls on immigration and an end to Berlin’s support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia."
