Tim Walz's final State of the State Address

Tim Walz's final State of the State Address felt more like the start of the 2026 campaign than it sounded like a governing speech. KARE11 reported "Gov. Walz reflected on governing during the COVID-19 pandemic, racial reckoning, and his run for Vice President, calling his tenure a 'complicated seven years to say the least.' Walz spent a large portion of his speech going over his accomplishments as governor, including laws designed to help children and families. He also encouraged lawmakers to pass bills related to gun safety."

Simply put, Gov. Walz isn't that persuasive. He could have another 10 years in office and still not get his gun agenda passed. That's partially because he isn't that persuasive, partially because most of Gov. Walz's agenda is unconstitutional.

KARE11 is also reporting "After the speech concluded, GOP leaders called it disappointing and felt Gov. Walz did not take enough accountability for the fraud crisis in Minnesota. They also said he did not say enough about what he would do to make Minnesota a more affordable place for people to live." Here's one of the MNGOP's reactions to Gov. Walz's speech:

Here's Harry Niska's response to Gov. Walz's speech: This is a GOP press availability you don't want to miss:

At the end of the press availability, Speaker DeMuth spoke about being a married black woman in the context of voting rights. She said that it was, in her opinion, disrespectful to say it's difficult to vote. This wasn't a cheap political jab at Gov. Walz and the DFL. It was a substantive complaint against the DFL/DSA.

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
