As the vice president introduced her new running mate at an energetic rally in Philadelphia, he quickly demonstrated his ability to deliver searing attacks against Donald Trump and JD Vance.

America’s introduction to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota began with a half-hour of cheering for Vice President Kamala Harris and ended with some of the sharpest attacks Democrats have leveled against former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio.

Before a raucous crowd in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz presented the Minnesotan as a folksy former schoolteacher and football coach who had inspired his students, served in the military and improved his constituents’ lives.

But it was his ability to deliver searing yet accessible attacks against their Republican opponents that won Mr. Walz a place on the national ticket, and during his first rally, he did not miss his marks.

“Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us,” he said. “First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself.”

Then came the dagger. “Violent crime was up under Donald Trump,” he said, before pausing for effect. “That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.”

    Ooh, what’s your favorites? I’m not a teetotaler, but I don’t sleep as well after drinking so most of the time I’d rather just have an NA beer. I’ve never been a fan of IPAs, unfortunately, so I’m pretty meh on most of Athletic’s offerings. My favorite is from a local brewery (Bauhaus Brew Labs) called Nah, it’s a non alcoholic Helles.

      I’m not a fan of overly hoppy beers (of which IPAs are the worst by definition) either heh.

      I can’t recommend the nonalcoholic versions of Leffe Blonde or Brune highly enough!

      They taste exactly like the “normal” version, which is high praise if you ask me. So if you like Belgian Trappist style beer and don’t want the alcohol, those are definitely the way to go IMO.

      If you’re more into a refreshing wheat beer, the Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc 0.0% will do you well too, my absolute favorite for a hot summer day!

      If you just want a regular pilsner that doesn’t cost too much but is still hella tasty, my favorite “daily driver” is Bavaria nonalcoholic.

      I hope any or all of these are available in your area and to your taste!

      I was really disappointed with the NA beer in California when I visited. Athletic had three types that were stocked in the various grocery stores I visited, but they all tasted exactly the same.

      There was an NA Mango that I saw in one but nowhere else. Surprising really when we can get Brooklyn Special Effects over here in the UK. I was expecting at least a match in options.

      Good luck with your hunt!
