RUMOR: Amy Klobuchar Running for Minnesota Governor, Will Appoint Tim Walz to Her Vacant Senate Seat 

Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar is running for governor of Minnesota to succeed Tim Walz. This is not a rumor. It has been widely reported.

From The Hill:

Klobuchar launches bid for Minnesota governor

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) on Thursday officially threw her hat in the ring to run for governor of Minnesota.

“Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot,” she wrote on the social platform X. “And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other. I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong. Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor.”

Klobuchar, in a video message, referred to the June assassination of state Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (D), a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that left two children dead and more than a dozen injured, and the fatal shootings of residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration officials this month, as part of what the state’s residents have “been through.”

“Three thousand [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents on our streets and in our towns, sent by an administration that relishes division,” she added, referring to President Trump.

The aspect of this story that is not being reported, is the belief by many that if Klobuchar wins the race for governor, she will appoint Tim Walz to fill her vacant senate seat.

Under such an arrangement, Klobuchar and Walz would just be switching seats. Journalist Liz Collin of Minnesota talked about this on Watters’ World last night.

Steve Forbes Exposes Ilhan Omar’s ‘Fake’ Winery On Live TV

Veteran businessman and Forbes Media Chairman Steve Forbes delivered a blistering assessment of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) finances during a live Fox Business appearance, raising questions about her husband’s investment firm and a California winery that he suggested may not even exist.

The segment aired as scrutiny continues to build around Omar’s recent financial disclosures, which show her household net worth soaring from under $1,000 to estimates as high as $30 million in roughly a year. Much of that wealth is tied to business ventures associated with her husband, Tim Mynett, including an investment firm known as Rose Lake and a winery listed at multimillion dollar valuations.

“Weird is not the word for it. There’s another word for it called crooked,” Forbes said during the interview. “That’s why we have to have an investigation into this.”

He went further, questioning how both Omar and Mynett were able to amass such wealth so quickly after entering public life.

“It’s amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses,” he said. “She had under a thousand dollars of net worth and her husband didn’t have much. And suddenly now they’re multimillionaires.”

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Disavows Attorney General Kris Mayes’ Calls to Murder ICE Agents, Calls for Mayes to Retract Statements

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs recently attempted to distance herself from Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes following a TV interview, where the radical left Attorney General suggested that Arizonans can shoot and kill ICE agents under Arizona’s stand your ground law. 

Mayes, who is up for reelection this November after stealing the 2022 election by just 280 votes from now-Rep. Abe Hamadeh, recently suggested in an interview that you could lawfully shoot and kill ICE agents in Arizona.

“You have these masked Federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks. And we have a stand your ground law that says that if you reasonably believe that your life is in danger, and you’re in your house or your car or on your property, that you can defend yourself with lethal force,” Mayes said.

“You’re not allowed to shoot peace officers,” she added. “But how do you know they’re a peace officer?”

Mayes further presented a possible legal defense for anyone who shoots an ICE agent, telling 12 News’s Brahm Resnik, “It becomes, did they reasonably know that they were a peace officer?”

Tampon Tim Walz Says He Will ‘Never Again’ Seek Elected Office — Months After Floating a Presidential Run 

Just over a year after his unsuccessful run for vice-president of the United States, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has said he will “never again” seek elected office.

Walz, who served as Kamala Harris’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election, made the remark during an interview with MS Now.

“I will never run for an elected office again,” he said. “Never again.”

“Look, I recognize that I’m a lightning rod,” he continued.

“I know they hate me personally, and they take it out on my constituents.”

Walz recently announced that he would not seek re-election as governor after it emerged he had overseen billions of childcare fraud at the hands of the state’s large Somali community.

Dems Have Gone Radio Silent On One of Their Main Talking Points, Trump Highlights It

President Donald Trump said Democrats have stopped focusing on affordability because, he argued, they have been “getting beaten badly” on the issue after years of high prices and inflation.

In remarks addressing the economy, Trump said affordability was once a central Democratic talking point but has since disappeared as prices have come down under his administration.

“You don’t hear the word affordability issued by the Democrats anymore,” Trump said.

“Now they’re going into other things because they’re getting beaten badly on affordability.”

Trump said when he returned to office, he inherited severe economic problems, including sharply higher consumer prices.

“Remember that when I was elected, I came into office, I inherited a total mess, starting with eggs, which were four times higher than they were just a year before,” Trump said.

Trump credited his administration with quickly reducing prices, pointing to egg costs as an example.

Jasmine Crockett: Trump Targeting Anybody Who Has ‘Melanin in their Skin’

Thursday on MS NOW’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused the Trump administration of targeting people with “a little bit of melanin in their skin” or “because of an accent.”

Crockett said, “As we go through these negotiations and Senate Dems are thinking about what it is that they’re going to do. I think that our negotiations should empower the people and should empower the people’s attorneys. I don’t trust the idea that we should say, hey, don’t break the law, and then they’re not going to break the law. It’s already against the law to do half the things that we’re asking them to do. We’re basically asking them, please just follow the law. I want to do things like, let’s look at a real speedy trial issue as relates to detainees. We have speedy trial for everything else. Let’s put some timelines on this. Let’s put some more parameters that empower their attorneys to get people out of custody that are suffering right now.”

She added, “I’m so tired of hearing their illegal, illegal, illegal. I am tired of hearing they did it the wrong way. That was not the story that I heard from so many people. They were, quote unquote, doing it the right way. They were showing up to their meetings, and then they were being hauled off when they were showing up, or they were showing up to court and they were being hauled off. I am tired of the nonsense. Let’s be honest. This administration has decided that it wants to target anybody who has a little bit of melanin in their skin, or target people simply because of an accent.”

Giffords’ Strange Definition of the Second Amendment

Several gun control organizations have shifted their messaging over the past couple of years in an attempt to prove they’re not out to eradicate the Second Amendment .Everytown for Gun Safety, for instance, is now offering gun training of a sort, though so far its more about teaching the basics of gun safety alongside a heaping portion of anti-gun rhetoric. 

Giffords, whose founder told Time magazine that her goal was “no more guns,”, has GIFFORDS Gun Owners for Safety to serve as useful idiots for the group’s larger mission. And in the wake of the Alex Pretti shooting in Minneapolis, the organization is putting them front and center. 

I actually agree with that statement. It’s too bad the actual comments from those gun owners for gun control don’t match up with the text of the post.

How does Giffords go from “Shall not be infringed” to “the right to legally possess a firearm in accordance with state law”? 

It’s simple, really. By framing our right that way, they’re able to completely negate it. Carrying a gun in a state park when the state considers it a “sensitive place”? Well, then, you’re not a law-abiding gun owner. Have a 17-round magazine when the state says you can only have 10-round magazines? You’re not exercising your Second Amendment rights, according to Giffords. You’re simply breaking the law. 

Carrying at a protest or public demonstration? Well, in Minnesota that’s legal. But if Pretti had been carrying his pistol in Peoria, Illinois, for example, he’d be violating state law. Would Giffords’ still have come to his defense in that case?

Yikes: This Threat to Kristi Noem From Hakeem Jeffries Isn’t Toning Down the Temperature at All

Democrats have been whipping up anger against President Donald Trump and his team throughout his two administrations, and they don’t care about what might occur as a result. 

Even after the assassination attempts, even with Trump being shot in the ear and nearly having his head blown off, the Democrats still wouldn’t scale back their language. They’re still at an 11 on a 1-10 scale of danger. No, he’s not a fascist or a Nazi. What he is is a danger to their power, and that’s always been the real problem for them. 

They’re doing it again with the anti-ICE mania. If you listen to the leftist discussion, ICE is Trump’s Gestapo, kidnapping people to concentration camps. Oh, and he’s going to use their rioting as an excuse to shut down the elections and seize power forever. They’re demonizing the enforcement of the law that Congress enacted. Yes, it’s nuts, but it’s their propaganda, and they’re falling for it. 

That’s why, on Thursday, what House Minority Leader, Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) said was so bad. He was railing against Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, “She’s got to go!”

“We are dead serious!” Jeffries ranted. “She needs to be put on ice, permanently! She’s gotta go! And by the way, she’s not the only one.” 

Yikes. That sounds like a threat, and not just to her.

Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie said Jeffries later addressed his word choice when called out on the obvious problem.

“She needs to be put on ice. It’s clear, right? That means gone. G-O-N-E. From her position. Don’t misinterpret anything that I’ve said,” he said. Yeah, no. You can’t say that before all the cameras, and then try to clean it up in a way that doesn’t even clean it up, and claim to speak against violence. This isn’t lowering the temperature, it’s ramping it up. 

Democrats freaked out over Trump using the word “fight,” claiming that it was inciting, so it’s their rules. I’m tired of how they keep doing this. 

This was also disgraceful, as he said Noem was responsible for “cutting down American lives in cold blood.”

Democrat Somali Declares Minnesota Neighborhood a ‘No-Go Zone’ for White Americans

The promise America made to us was simple but profound: E Pluribus Unum. Out of many, one. It’s the fundamental covenant that says, despite our different backgrounds, we are all citizens of the same nation, living under one set of laws, and deserving of the same protections. This principle is what keeps us from descending into a mess of warring tribes.

But what happens when our own elected leaders decide that the covenant is optional? What happens when officials sworn to uphold the law start carving out their own private fiefdoms, declaring entire classes of Americans unwelcome and replacing constitutional order with tribal rule? This isn’t just a thought experiment. It’s happening right now, and one Democrat just provided a chilling preview of the left’s ultimate vision for America. And trust me, you aren’t going to like it.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

The comments were made in a series of posts on X showing Fateh standing in front of the Cedar Riverside towers alongside two other men. “Cedar Strong. White Supremacists aren’t welcome here. We protect our own,” the post read. When pressed by journalist David Marcus, who wrote that Americans do not allow “no-go zones,” Fateh doubled down, replying, “This is a No-Go zone for white supremacists.”

Don’t mistake this for a simple slip of the tongue. This wasn’t a gaffe; it was a confession from Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh. He is openly promoting the creation of an autonomous enclave on American soil, a place where his political opponents are barred from entry and where a private force, not the police, keeps order.

Democrats Want To Keep Illegals In America To Rig The Census And Congressional Apportionment

t may seem impossible, but Democrats have been losing their cool a little bit more than usual lately. And by “a little bit,” I mean a whole lot, with much of their fury driven by a brutal political reality highlighted by new census data.

Amid the recent deaths of two Minnesota street communists — who died as a result of their interference with immigration enforcement operations — Democrats have ramped up their opposition to the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens present in the United States. While some (like Gov. Tim Walz) have taken their Nazi comparisons to new embarrassing heights, others have opted for calling for the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

(Unsurprisingly, none of these bad actors have acknowledged their roles in encouraging such lawless behavior or, in Walz’s case, refusing to cooperate with federal officials like other states have done.)

The left’s rapid obsession with keeping illegal aliens in the United States — even those who have committed violent crimes — may seem strange to some. Especially given how the party’s top officials (such as former Presidents Clinton and Obama) previously touted deporting such individuals.

While Democrats may claim their stance stems from their supposed “compassion” for illegals, the real reason for their illogical and unsustainable position can be found in new data disclosed by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Earlier this week, the federal agency released its latest projections for U.S. population trends throughout the past year. Publication of the information was delayed due to last year’s Democrat-led government shutdown.

What the data showed is that many “red” and “toss-up” states experienced notable gains in population, while many “blue” states saw a net loss of residents. Put another way, Americans are fleeing predominantly Democrat-run states for those fully or partially controlled by Republicans.

This trend is significant when considering its implications for congressional apportionment (that is, deciding how many congressional seats each state is entitled to based on its population). Such a process relatedly determines how many electoral votes each state gets — a critical point for candidates running in presidential elections.

According to The American Redistricting Project, the Census Bureau’s new data indicates that, based on 2025 population estimates, the country’s 2030 apportionment would result in several red and red-leaning states (Texas, Florida, Arizona) gaining congressional seats. Blue and blue-leaning states (California, New York, Illinois), on the other hand, are projected to lose seats.

Such tallies, if ultimately correct and apportioned accurately, would represent a stark contrast to the 2020 apportionment, in which the Census Bureau subsequently admitted to undercounting mostly Republican-led states (five of six) and overcounting mostly Democrat-led states (six of eight).

Where Democrats’ unhinged opposition to deportations comes into play is the fact that the Census Bureau counts illegal aliens when conducting the census. This, in effect, skews the overall population count and results in states with large numbers of illegal immigrants being apportioned more congressional seats than they are otherwise entitled to.
