Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has a lot of embarrassing distinctions from a political standpoint, not the least of which is being part of one of the few vice presidential debates people actually remember, with JD Vance absolutely cleaning his clock in October 2024 without breaking a sweat.
After getting humiliated the following month as well, one would think that Walz would lie low in 2025 to avoid further national embarrassment. But, not only has he not done so, he's running for reelection as governor in 2026. Even more amazingly, Walz is rumored to be considering a 2028 presidential run, even though he said in July that a 2028 bid was off the table for him.
He certainly has given every indication that he's interested, between the town hall tour he did earlier this year in Republican-won congressional districts, the repeated comparisons of President Trump to authoritarian dictators, and even once insinuating that he wished the baseless Lincoln Project-fueled rumors of Trump's death that circulated around the Labor Day holiday weekend were true.
But here we are closing in on the end of 2025, and Tim Walz isn't laughing anymore, thanks in part to the wave of fraud scandals in his state, all of which happened under his watch, and which equate not to just millions in stolen taxpayer money but billions.

He’s a carpetbagging, blowhard bully, a liar and a fraud. Not fit for public office, which makes him a perfect democrat/socialist candidate.
They’re all the same.
Nearly 100 mayors sign letter expressing ‘deep concern’ over Minnesota state budget, Somali fraud

CROSSLAKE, Minn. (KTTC) – In a letter penned by the mayor of Crosslake, and signed by 97 other mayors across the state of Minnesota, top city officials expressed their “deep concern and growing frustration” with the direction the state is heading in. Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst claimed that fraud, unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management at the state level is making it more difficult for cities and towns to plan responsibly and continue offering core services to local taxpayers.
“Minnesotans watched an historic $18 billion in surplus disappear in a single biennium, only to now face an updated projected $2.9 billion−$3 billion deficit in the 2028-29 biennium,” Mayor Purfeerst said, “As mayors, we see firsthand how these decisions ripple outward.” The letter cited a recent report from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce that “shows our state slipping in national economic rankings.” The following ranks were listed: 33rd in GDP growth 39th in job growth 40th in labor force growth 33rd in per-capita income growth 46th in median household income growth 44th in tech job growth 44th in overall tax competitiveness
The letter also cites reports from KSTP suggesting rising property tax levy pressures. “As mayors, we are committed to responsible budgeting, fiscal restraint, and delivering high-quality local services,” Mayor Purfeerst said, “Yet there is a growing disconnect between state-level fiscal decisions and the strain they place on the cities we lead.”
98 mayors have signed the letter addressed to Minnesota state representatives, senators, and Governor Walz. Among the 98 signatures include five mayors from the Southeast Minnesota region: Jimmie-John King - Stewartville Robert J. Schell DVM - Altura Andrew J. Leisen - Rose Creek Jeffery E. McCool - West Concord Paul Kreidermacher - Rollingstone

Well, Walz is a piker compared to the 100 billion of fraud and theft under Gavin Newsome’s watch in California and democrats still love them both anyway.
can he be recalled or is it quicker to convict him? is it even possible to get a conviction in MN courts? is the Lt Gov any better?
The ankle biter speaks. He’s Trey Gowdy with slightly better hair. Yawwwwn.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is expanding two separate investigations involving Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: one into a nearly $1 billion COVID-19 relief fraud scandal and another into Walz’s alleged ties to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) entities.
Comer’s primary current action involves an expanded probe into the “Feeding Our Future” scandal, where nearly $1 billion in federal funds meant for a child nutrition program was allegedly stolen.
Planned Actions: The Committee is coordinating with federal agencies and plans to issue subpoenas for records and testimony to trace the money and identify those responsible. Comer has also requested bank records from the Treasury Department.
Allegations: Comer claims that the Walz administration was warned about the massive fraud but failed to act, and that whistleblowers who raised concerns faced retaliation. There are allegations that some of the stolen funds may have been funneled to the terrorist organization al-Shabaab.
Demands: Comer sent letters to Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison in early December 2025, demanding records from various state agencies by a December 17 deadline. He is also calling for transcribed interviews with Minnesota state officials.
Planned Actions: Comer has subpoenaed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for documents and communications related to Walz’s engagement with the CCP, after a whistleblower alleged a cover-up by DHS leadership. He previously made similar requests to the FBI.
Allegations: The investigation focuses on Walz’s past activities, including teaching in China, frequent visits, and speaking alongside a president of a Chinese organization identified as a CCP influence operation. Comer has criticized federal agencies, including DHS and the FBI, for being unresponsive to the Committee’s subpoenas and requests for information regarding this issue.
Tell me, how many indictments does the hay seed have so far? The House Coverup Committee is doing a fine job.

I guess Comer loves sending out press releases...../s.
Frolicking Tim-Elmer-Fudd-Walz can’t load a shotgun to save his life, installs tampons in boy’s bath room, is a laughable idiot in a debate against anyone with an IQ higher than a chimp, and has no idea where billions of his state’s money went. What a walking talking lying cluster fk.
Of all of Walz’s “commendable attributes”
<><>can’t load a shotgun to save his life,
<><>installs tampons in boy’s bath room,
<><>is a laughable idiot in a debate,
Walz’s having no idea where billions of his state’s money went really takes the cake.
They got away with the fraud because it was institutionalized on both the government and the recipient sided.
For this much money to have been stolen, close to half the entitlement recipients in Minnesota had to have been involved in the fraud in one way or another and many key players in government and the Democrat / DFL party had to be at least aware of the fraud if not directly participating in the fraud.
This fraud goes to the top levels of the State and federal governments and probably over half the entitlement recipients in Minnesota were participating in the fraud.
The amazing thing is that the level of fraud is so huge it has a macroscopic economic impact on the Minnesota economy.
So much so that welfare/entitlement /healthcare fraud qualifies as a distinct and economically significant and impactful sector of the entire Minnesota state economy
Given what we already know of the fraud, which is only the tip pf the iceberg, welfare fraud is a larger segment of the Minnesota economy than mining and it's on the level of the utilities industry in Minnesota which is kind of amazing.
Preparation H is more effective.
Yeah, like we’re supposed to believe his country bumpkin bs. I wonder how much of the billions went into an offshore account of his.
Maybe a Tonka Truck. He might be able to tape or glue something back together. Maybe.
My first thought was, "President of what? Somalia?" But then I remembered Walz's aversion to serving in combat zones.
