A Minnesota Department of Human Services employee, whose Tesla vandalism spree in Minneapolis was caught on video, is still employed by the state. Taxpayers are continuing to pay the salary of Dylan Adams, a fiscal policy analyst at the Minneapolis DHS. In March, Adams racked up more than $21,000 in damages during work hours as he walked around the city with his dog and keyed the electric cars. When asked about consequences Adams may have faced for his vandalism, a DHS spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Mail that 'Dylan Adams is a current employee.' The spokesperson also said, 'no public...

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) is blaming leftist groups and his own party for the ongoing government shutdown. In a social media post on Wednesday, Golden wrote, “This government shutdown is the result of hardball politics driven by the demands far-left groups are making for Democratic Party leaders to put on a show of their opposition to President Trump.” He added the shutdown is “hurting Americans and our economy, and the irony is it has only handed more power to the president.” Golden continued: This fight is ostensibly about health care, so let me be clear: I opposed the GOP’s Medicaid...

The Mamdani momentum is taking the country by storm. After his big New York City primary win shocked the Democratic establishment, socialists like Zohran Mamdani are not just gaining popularity, but are actually being recognized as serious candidates in elections across the nation. One of those key elections is the Minneapolis mayoral race, where Democratic Socialist State Senator Omar Fateh is now just 5 points behind incumbent Democratic mayor Jacob Frey, who is seeking reelection for a third term. Fateh joins Mehdi to discuss the mayoral race, the racist and Islamophobic attacks he’s received, and how he plans to stand...

Legendary pro-golfer Phil Mickelson went scorched earth on Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar after she doubled down on her controversial comments about Charlie Kirk. “Ilhan spews hate every time she opens her mouth, she came here fraudulently and will hopefully be sent back to Somalia soon,” the LIV Tour golfer wrote on X Saturday.

It feels like several millennia ago but can you remember the reaction to George Floyd’s killing five years ago? I’ll help: it was extremely weird. US police brutality against black men was hardly unknown, but, for a variety of reasons, when Floyd was choked to death by a police officer in Minneapolis it kicked off global riots and a social justice movement that quickly became less about effecting change and more about controlling people’s speech.Media organisations paid out millions to diversity consultants to teach their employees right-think about race, and “black” was gifted a solemn, respectful capital letter. People were...

"Minnesota is drowning in fraud” Over the summer I wrote about the grand scale of the latest stage of Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota. The $250 million ‘Feeding Our Future’ free food fraud in which Somali groups stole a quarter of a billion dollars while claiming to feed hundreds of thousands of children who never existed seemed like the biggest case of welfare fraud in Minnesota, but it may be just the beginning. In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million...

The ghost of the 2024 election continues to haunt Kamala Harris as she revisits her ill-fated decision to put Tim Walz on the ticket. Harris writes in her new memoir that the Minnesota governor was not her “first choice” for vice president, despite the enthusiasm she showed Walz in the days after he was suddenly announced. Many observers speculated that the Democrats’ No. 2 slot became a contest between Walz and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who Harris aides feared would provoke a backlash among pro-Palestinian progressive activists because he is Jewish. But in “107 Days,” the former vice president writes...

Governor Walz over the weekend discussing the possibility of Trumps death and implying “There will be news.”

Kamala Harris settled on picking Tim Walz to be her running mate last year because she felt Americans were too racist, antisemitic and homophobic to accept her preferred option – Pete Buttigieg. In an excerpt from the former vice president’s forthcoming book, “107 Days,” obtained by The Atlantic magazine, Harris describes Buttigieg as her “first choice” but later deemed the openly gay former transportation secretary to be “too big of a risk” on the ticket. Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner —if I were a straight white man,” Harris wrote. “But we were already asking a lot of America:...

A District Attorney dubbed the 'wokest' in the country has launched a new 'soft-on-crime' policy that is set to make her city even more dangerous. The controversial change introduced by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty takes effect October 15. Under the new policy, if police pull someone over for a minor issue like a broken taillight and then find illegal drugs or a gun, the county attorney’s office will no longer press charges.

The House of Representatives voted along bipartisan lines on Wednesday to table a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., over comments about Charlie Kirk. Four House Republicans voted with Democrats to table the legislation, effectively blocking it from receiving its own House-wide vote. A vote to table is a procedural mechanism allowing House members to vote against consideration of a bill without having to vote on the bill itself. The measure was blocked in a narrow 214 to 213 vote. The four Republicans who voted to table the measure are Reps. Mike Flood, R-Neb., Tom McClintock, R-Calif., Jeff Hurd,...

...A large swath of Democrats in Minnesota are demanding action after a recent DFL Feminist Caucus meeting reportedly saw “repeated misgendering,” disapproving eyerolls, and suggestions that some attendees “do not understand the feminist movement.” Those allegations were issued in a letter signed by more than 1,200 Democrats including state legislators, city councilors, and DFL party officials...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) went on a cruel rant about murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk, scoffing at the notion that his core mission was to have a civil debate on politics. “There are a lot of people who are talking about him [Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate,” Omar sneered to progressive outlet Zeteo. “These people are full of s— and it’s important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness” Omar groused that the TurningPoint USA founder downplayed George Floyd and opposed Juneteenth. “There is nothing more f—ed up than to pretend...

And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty, even if my only message was: Don’t let the other guy win. “It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.” We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were...

This story is found at the nexus of two competing leftist voting blocs. A Bill Clinton appointed district court judge has sided with the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck after the all-Muslim city council banned the flying of LGBT flags in the city. Yes, in this case the left-wing Muslims who make up a large Detroit voting bloc, won out over the gays. Here's more from the AP: U.S. District Judge David Lawson dismissed a lawsuit against Hamtramck, two years after the city council voted to allow only five flags, including the American flag, the Michigan flag and flags that 'represent the...

That's right. A Kenyan migrant broke into a Twin Cities home in 2016 and raped a woman who was in bed sleeping. For some reason, he was only sentenced to two years in jail. He was then set to be deported, since America is no place for foreigners who rape women, but U.S. District Judge David S. Doty stayed the order in 2018 (because of course) and then the rapist managed to get two taxpayer-funded jobs at two state agencies (because of course).

The voting process at the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party convention in July was such a mess that state DFL leadership investigated and nullified the local party’s endorsements. Now the Minneapolis DFL wants the state DFL to restore the results it nullified and give the endorsement back to DFL candidate Omar Fateh, a member of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA), KSTP Television reports.Fateh is challenging incumbent DFL Mayor Jacob Frey, who came in second in the shady Minneapolis endorsement convention.The Federalist previously reported that the Minnesota DFL’s Constitution, Bylaws and Rules Committee (CBRC) investigated the local convention and found the...

Deranged transgender Minnesota shooter Robin Westman had recently dumped his longtime girlfriend, raging about her “blue hair and pronouns” — and complaining about not being able to murder her because it “would really f–k up” his plans to massacre kids. The 23-year-old maniac, who slaughtered two children and injured 18 other people at a Minneapolis Catholic school, had only recently called it quits with his partner of several years before last week’s bloodshed, his dad previously revealed. The ex has been identified by the Daily Mail as 22-year-old Abigail Bodick, who the outlet called a “furry.” Bodick was previously pictured...
