It's time Jacob Frey and Tim Walz confessed their sins, then resign. First, let's correct something that Frey got terribly wrong . He's now quoted as saying "And this idea that my comments were inflammatory — come on, guys. I dropped an F-bomb. They killed somebody. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I’m going with killing somebody." While an ICE agent pulled the trigger on the gun -- that's indisputable -- what Frey intentionally isn't saying is that Frey and Walz that they intentionally omitted specific things to the people of Minneapolis. Either that or Gov. Walz told graduates at the U of M Law School that ICE agents were the modern day Gestapo. He tried telling everyone with brown or black skin that ICE intended to send them to prison or worse. Though they don't want to admit it, Frey's and Walz's words created conditions that were the literary equivalent of a tinder box. Saying that someone is driving around Minnesota with a mask on...

Tim Welz, Minnesota's DFL governor, held a dishonest, deceptive news conference Thursday morning in Blaine, MN. In that news conference, Gov. Walz "reiterated that the Trump administration denied the state the ability to participate in the investigation and urged them to reconsider. He questioned if Minnesotans would trust the outcome without state investigators' input." What Gov. Walz intentionally omitted was that this was a federal case because it involved an ICE agent. The state doesn't have jurisdiction to participate in this investigation. Strongly implied in Gov. Walz's statement was that the Trump administration couldn't be trusted to fairly investigate the shooting. Additionally, it wasn't possible to not detect Gov. Walz's anti-law enforcement prejudice. Repeatedly, he omitted the fact that Renee Nicole Good tried repeatedly to prevent ICE agents from making arrests. In fact, at the time of the shooting, ICE agents were trying to arrest...

In July, 2024, VP Kamala Harris picked Minnesota DFL Gov. Tim Walz to be her insurance policy running mate. Since then, Gov. Walz's political career has died. Gov. Walz's presidential ambitions are finished. Gov. Walz's gubernatorial ambitions died, too. Gov. Walz's legacy is shattered. Medicaid fraud is running rampant. Somali gangs run Minneapolis, Minnesota's biggest city. Further, Gov. Walz has made repeated incendiary comments about law enforcement and the law. Saying that ICE isn't welcome in Minnesota or Minneapolis is like saying that enforcing laws in Minnesota won't be tolerated. That's stupid. Tim Walz isn't hiding who he is. This tweet says everything that needs to be said. In speaking to the people, Gov. Walz said "If you're in Portland, or you're in LA, or you're in Chicago, or you're wherever they're coming next, stand with us. Stand with us against this." Further, Gov. Walz mentioned "the show hear...

If I had $% for each time someone said that the cover-up is worse than the scandal, I'd be rich. I'm not rich. But I digress. This article sounds like they're describing the bureaucrats' cover-up. Alpha News reports "A stunning new report from the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) found that staff in the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) backdated or created documents after the audit began in response to the OLA’s requests for information." Doesn't that sound like they're trying to create clients who used the various services. Medicaid services that've been victims of fraud include Housing Stabilization Services, aka HSS, autism centers, CCAP and day care centers. Judy Randall, who took over for Jim Nobles, said "I do want to talk about what a serious issue this is and how it is, frankly, unacceptable for the agencies we audit to do this type of activity. In the 27-plus years I’ve been with OLA, I have never seen this before....

Now that Minnesota's fraud factory is getting highlighted by the national press, there's finally the opportunity to fix Minnesota's broken safety net program. There's a mood building within these programs and throughout Minnesota that isn't going away. Part of it is captured in Liz Collin's interview of Michele Bachmann . During the interview, Michele Bachmann told Liz Collin "This really was an open secret, people all across Minnesota, many of them knew about this. Before I went into state government, I had served as a federal tax litigation attorney. And even in my training as a tax litigation attorney, we were told about the fraud … So I was aware of it even back to that time … I’m very grateful that finally this is getting national attention." I'm betting that the biggest reason why Michele Bachmann is "grateful" this story is "getting national attention" is because the Twin Cities corporate media has been burying this story...

If Democrats want to be taken seriously as people of good faith, they need to stop with their anti-ICE bigotry. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, aka USDHS, is reporting that "a Minnesota hotel 'maliciously cancelled' reservations for federal law enforcement officers. DHS posted screenshots of emails that reference the 'Hampton Inn Lakeville property.'" That's meaningless. What type of bigot prevents law enforcement from doing its job? Make no mistake, either. That was Hampton Inn Lakeville's goal. Hilton Hotels is backtracking. This isn't unintentional, either. Here's proof that it's intentional: Let's make Hampton Inn pay for this indiscretion. If they don't want ICE agents staying in their hotel, they should post a sign saying that. Let's post a sign saying that Hampton Inn Lakeville is anti-law enforcement. USDHS isn't taking this light, nor should it: It's time to tell these grifters AND THEIR ENABLERS tha...
