Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic nominee for vice president last cycle, opted to fly to Maine to stump for Graham Platner, an oyster farmer who is running for Senate and who has a Nazi tattoo. Several members of Congress responded. “Don’t forget to ask him about his Nazi tattoo,” stated Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas). “Can you let him know there’s ways to remove the Nazi tattoos from his chest?” asked Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.). “In case it wasn’t clear before why Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro. This is who they are,” the Republican Jewish Coalition stated....

Lame-duck Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz made a stunning about-face after the federal raids on Minnesota day care centers Tuesday — after previously denouncing fraud investigations as “white supremacy.” In a thread on X, Walz — the 2024 Democratic nominee for vice president — said he was putting criminals “on notice” and tried to take credit for the investigations. “If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it,” he wrote. “Today’s raids...

Democrat governors, many believed to be vying for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination, gathered on Thursday for a pricey Los Angeles fundraising event. The private gathering — where tickets cost as much as $100K a pop — was attended by top party members like Gov. Gavin Newsom, Arizona’s Gov. Katie Hobbs, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, among others, the LA Times reported. A ticket to attend the event, closed to the press, cost anywhere from $45,000 up to $100,00, with the money going to the Democrat Governors Association (DGA). The evening was expected to rake...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is attributing her alleged inflated net worth to an accounting mistake. Earlier this year, reports showed that Ms. Omar had accumulated significant wealth, with a net worth in the millions, which raised questions about possible fraud. Subsequently, Nick Shirley’s investigation into a web of Somali-led scams brought new attention to her financial dealings. If that’s a true accounting error, then I’m Somali, too. Are you kidding me, lady? There was an error that inflated your assets to $30 million? Please, also, one of the ventures that The Washington Free Beacon investigated in January, a winery, is...

US intelligence assessments have suggested that Iran likely still has access to around 70 percent of its pre-war ballistic missile stockpiles, and around 60 percent of its missile launchers, The New York Times reports. It also still retains around 40% of its drone arsenal, the report says, citing US intelligence and military officials. According to the Times, when a two-week ceasefire came into effect between Iran and the US on April 8, Tehran had access to around half of its ballistic missile launchers. Since then, the report says it has managed to dig out another 100 launchers from under the...

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday floated the idea of passing a sweeping spending package aimed at targeting what he described as fraud, waste and abuse in Democratic-led states. Johnson said during a news conference at the House Republican retreat in Doral that he’s been a “champion for reconciliation as one of the important tools in the toolbox.” “I think that we can come together and envision a Venn diagram as I do — what are those handful of issues that are in the center of those concentric circles that is something that every Republican can agree on, that is...

💀HILARIOUS burn by Rep Fallon: "When Obama was choosing his VP candidate, he had 3 criteria. He wanted someone not as smart, had less talent & charisma...he picked Joe Biden. Biden in 2020 used the same criteria...he chose Kamala. In 2024, it's evident why Harris picked you."

Minnesota lawmakers have filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Keith Ellison and Gov. Tim Walz. State Reps. Drew Roach, Ben Davis, and Mike Wiener, of the Minnesota Freedom Caucus, filed the documents. The lawmakers allege that the leaders allowed state residents to commit rampant fraud. Criminals allegedly stole about $9 billion worth of benefits across 14 benefit programs meant to help feed hungry kids, help kids with autism, and help families find housing. This week, Vice President J.D. Vance announced that the federal government is freezing $259 million in payments to the state's Medicare program until it complies with...

After moving out of nearly a million square feet of office space in downtown Minneapolis’ City Center building five years ago, Target paid almost $110 million last month to officially break its lease that ran through 2031. Now the owner of the 51-story tower at 33 S. 6th St. — an entity tied to South Korean conglomerate Samsung — is preparing to list the property for sale, according to a Feb. 2 loan servicer report.

Minnesota is in the midst of what state health officials call the nation's "largest known outbreak" of TMVII, a sexually transmitted fungal skin infection that can cause severe ringworm. TMVII, or trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII, is the only known fungal-based sexually transmitted disease, according to the Minnesota Department of Health, and it's treatable with oral antifungals. The first case was reported in New York City in 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with Minnesota's first reported case in July 2025, when a patient sought treatment for a genital rash. The health department says there are now...

The Minneapolis businesses that exploit illegal migrants should be compensated by ordinary Americans for economic losses amid the federal enforcement of popular immigration and civil rights laws, according to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.“They left us with economic ruin,” Walz complained after White House advisor Tom Homan said on Thursday that he is withdrawing most ICE officers after arresting more than 4,000 illegal migrants in Minneapolis. (snip) “Many Minnesota businesses – especially small businesses — are facing economic hardships that may prove insurmountable” because of the federal enforcement, said Matt Varilek, an economic development manager for Walz.

If he were so inclined, I think Governor Walz could rewrite the Paul Simon song subtitled “How I Was Robert McNamara’d into Submission.” In Walz’s case, it would go “How I was Nancy Pelosi’d Into Submission.” The lyrics would explain how he was Nancy Pelosi’d into submission by Amy Klobuchar, or perhaps how he was Klobber’d into submission. I told the public part of the story in the Examiner column “Exit Tim Walz, stage Biden.” Walz has now folded his campaign for an absurd third gubernatorial term. To say that Walz is the worst governor in Minnesota history does not...

Moonbattery is so consistent in its hostility to innocence, moral sanity, and human flourishing that it is hard to make sense of it without reference to a metaphysical concept of evil. So it comes as no surprise that a plaque prominently displayed in the Minnesota State Capitol thanks Tim Walz for “allowing the spread of Satanism.” Via Liberty Daily, Republican State Representative Pam Altendorf congratulates Tampon Tim on this special honor: The plaque reads as follows: The Democratic Coalition of Satan Worshippers thanks Gov. Tim Walz for not standing in the way of spreading Satanism in the state Capitol building....

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a briefing Monday afternoon to, in part, distill the latest on the Trump administration's plans to bring law and order to Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was the first official White House press briefing since Saturday's shooting of leftist protester Alex Pretti by a Customs and Border Patrol agent, and the weekend's events were clearly top of mind for everyone in the briefing room. Leavitt spoke first of the administration's disgust for the efforts of Democrats and hard-left agitators to disrupt "the will of the people;" President Trump has spoken previously of his dismay at...

Key points covered: Arrest of Alexander Soofer (former executive director of Abundant Blessings charity in California), charged with wire fraud for allegedly misusing ~$23 million in government funds meant for homeless housing and food to finance a lavish lifestyle (mansion, luxury vehicles, vacations, private school tuition). The arrest was announced by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California. Broader commentary links this to other alleged Democrat-connected frauds, including the Minnesota "Feeding Our Future" scandal (involving $250 million in child nutrition funds), where a convicted fraudster reportedly claims leaders like Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith...

Walz: "I would not put it past this administration to target midnight mass services amongst folks going to worship because that's who they are." That's who *they* are?! Yet, when ANTI-ICE protesters actually RAIDED a Church in the middle of service yesterday, Walz is SILENT
