  • Vance Was One of The Marines Biggest Cowards - Veterans Speak Out

    They say he can suck his own cock!

    I have a deep and abiding respect for our veterans, men and women, whether
    they served stateside, overseas, or on the battlefield.

    So it grieves me to no end to hear JD Vance trash talk Tim Walz, to call into question his years of service, to suggest that Walz’s years of service did
    not matter because he served with the National Guard and was not on the front line getting shot at.

    Vance was a pencil pusher during his six months of duty in Iraq. He worked in the Public Affairs office of the 2nd Marine Aircraft wing, so he was hardly doing the kind of job my dad did (Chief of Smoke, 25th ID, 2/9th Artillery, literally on the front lines).

    Walz retired a Command Sgt. Major. (My dad was a Staff Sgt. in the Army).
    Vance and the MAGA crowd are condemning Walz for retiring from the NG months before his unit deployed for Iraq. The implication being that Walz failed his unit and was too cowardly to go and serve on a battlefield. This from a party whose felon candidate dodged the draft five different times.

    Darius Walker, 17, (pictured) and his mother, Khadeidra Thomas, 40, were arrested in connection with the murder of a 15-year-old on December 16, 2024 in South Carolina (Richland County Sheriff's Department)

    After a mother took her son down to a South Carolina Sheriff’s Department office so he could turn himself in, she found herself arrested on a murder-related charge.

    According to a news release from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department, Khadeidra Thomas, 40, and her son, Darius Walker, 17, were both arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Quinton Lane, 15, Wednesday.

    Thomas has been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and obstruction of justice, while Walker was charged with accessory after the fact of a felony. The felony in the case is murder. He is the third juvenile to be charged in connection
    with the crime.

    Specifically, prosecutors say Walker hid the weapon used to kill the 15-year-old in December. A warrant for his arrest was announced on January 9. According to the police, Thomas tried to help her son escape arrest and gave officials false information
    about his whereabouts.

    Both mother and son have been booked into the Alvin S Glenn Detention Center.

    Earlier this month, Sheriff Leon Lott vowed to prosecute parents he believes contributed to their children’s crimes.

    “We will continue to hold parents accountable when they choose to condone or participate in their child’s criminal activity,” Lott said in the release.

    The department did not release additional information about the crime. The Independent emailed the department for comment.
