Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is unfairly accused of deserting his National Guard unit, more accurately of inflating his rank and service record.
International affairs and security analyst Mark Sleboda joins Misfits hosts Michelle Witte and John Kiriakou to discuss Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, why Kiev’s Western backers aren’t applauding this tactic, and how the incursion will affect the rest of the front line in the Donbass. They also discuss reports that the Islamic State is resurging in Syria and Iraq and what “ISIS” actually is these days.
Beirut-based journalist and head of news for The Cradle Esteban Carrillo discusses the climate in the Middle East as questions persist about the timing and nature of Iran’s anticipated retaliation to Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh, the dubious target list Israel offered to justify attacking schools and mosques over the weekend and killing dozens of civilians, what significance to attach to some recent American military movements in the region, the status of ceasefire talks, and what people should know about Hamas’ new political leader.
Political consultant and organizer Donna Davis discusses how much attacks on Tim Walz’ military record will hurt his campaign with Vice President Kamala Harris, whether to expect major protests at the Democratic National Convention later this month, how significant the issue of Gaza will be for the Harris campaign, new polling showing Harris’ lead solidifying, and the Secret Service possibly violating the constitution to use the bathroom.
The Misfits also discuss the US government’s ongoing disappointment with Boeing, terrible revelations about Brits’ diets, whether the Vatican is hiding UFO secrets, and a lawsuit filed by women who say they were illegally denied abortions in emergency scenarios.
