## No, Tim Walz didn’t fake owning a dog in 2022

Authored by theun.news

the un.news – Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz did not borrow or rent a dog to pretend to be a dog owner.

Nine months after being elected to Minnesota’s highest office, Walz introduced the public to their new “First Dog” at a press conference.

Walz had promised his son Gus that the family could get a dog if he won the gubernatorial election.

“I’m proud that Minnesota’s First Dog is a rescue dog,” Walz said at the time.

Vogue “interviewed” the dog for a humorous feature earlier this August to celebrate Scout’s five years with the Walz family.

Walz is facing allegations from conservatives who say that his status as a dog owner is a political fabrication.

The footage shows Scout and the other dog playing together on the same day the Walz took his photo. »

Women from inside and outside the country have joined in the campaign challenging the Taliban’s new so-called vice and virtue laws, which include bans on women from baring their faces, singing and talking in public.

The lyrics appear to reference restrictions the Taliban imposed on the basic rights and freedoms of women and girls shortly after seizing back control of the country three years ago. »

### A whopping 80% of new US electricity capacity this year came from solar and battery storage

Authored by techspot.com

Solar alone made up 60% of the 20.2 gigawatts of fresh capacity that went online from January through June.

A large chunk of this can be attributed to two plants – a 600+ megawatt installation in Texas and another in Nevada.

These two states were also leading the solar charge, which doesn't come as a surprise given their sunny dispositions. »
