Trainwreck Tim Walz Took Minnesota From A $19 Billion Surplus To A $6 Billion Deficit

Americans have seen a lot of Tim Walz lately as the failed vice-presidential candidate has held town halls nationally criticizing national Republicans. In a telling interview, he admitted to the New York Magazine this week, “90% of the time, I can be really good, but about 10% of the time, I can be a train wreck.”

And in an interview with Jake Tapper that was itself something of a train wreck, he rejected the conclusion that every American with a pulse now acknowledges: that Walz and other Democrats should have forced Joe Biden off the presidential ticket in light of his obvious cognitive decline.

Walz is indeed often a train wreck, and as Walz tramps around the country seeking to place himself as the foil to congressional Republicans and Donald Trump, to really understand what a disaster he is, we only need to look at the ongoing mess he has left behind in Minnesota.

A Fiscal Disaster of Walz’s Own Making

It is not hyperbole to say that Minnesota’s finances are in free fall. After boasting a record-setting $19 billion surplus in 2022 — larger than the full budgets of 20 U.S. states — the Minnesotans learned earlier this month that it faces a staggering $6 billion budget deficit. How did this happen? In 2023, Walz and his Democrat allies in the legislature embarked on the most reckless spending spree in Minnesota history, funneling billions into pet projects and giveaways for every left-wing constituency imaginable. The surplus wasn’t used to shore up Minnesota’s long-term financial stability or to return money to taxpayers. Instead, it was squandered in the most reckless fiscal step taken in Minnesota’s modern history.

Walz’s relationship with the truth has always been a distant one, and this case was no exception. Walz tried to falsely pin the financial crisis on the new Trump administration, despite state officials confirming that federal policy did not affect their budget projections. 

Among the drivers of the state’s coming deficit is a stagnant Minnesota economy. Although once among the strongest in the country, the state now routinely ranks in the bottom 10 states for GDP growth. Job creation has stagnated, and businesses are increasingly looking elsewhere to expand or move. Meanwhile, Walz has increased tax burdens on individuals and businesses and made Minnesota one of the least competitive states for economic growth.

DNC Launches ‘People’s Cabinet’ to Fight Trump Administration

The National Democratic Party has launched a new initiative called the “People’s Cabinet” to counter the Trump administration.

Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said the goal is to “cut through the lies” and speak directly to the American people.

“I’ve been traveling across the country nonstop since I started this job, and what I hear over and over is this: Americans want us to challenge Trump’s lies, offer a better alternative,” Martin said in a video statement on April 4.

According to Martin, the People’s Cabinet will be filled with experts, national and local leaders, and everyday Americans who will “fight back” against President Donald Trump’s agenda. The Cabinet will conduct media briefings and host town halls across the country.

Democrats have been battling Republicans who gained control of the U.S. Senate, House, and presidency in the 2024 election. The GOP trifecta paved the way for Trump to shore up the congressional support needed to successfully implement his agenda.

Democrat lawmakers have publicly opposed Trump’s policies, including major cost-cutting by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The advisory panel, led by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has targeted government waste and fraud, leading to cuts in the federal workforce and the elimination of many government contracts.

‘I’m not a maniac’: Senator blocks hundreds of Trump nominees using tactic he once called ‘abuse of power’

Democratic Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz is blocking more than 300 of President Donald Trump’s nominees from swift confirmation votes despite previously criticizing efforts to stall nominations during the Biden administration.

Schatz’s blockade on hundreds of Trump nominees and at least nine bipartisan foreign relations bills comes as Senate Democrats are escalating opposition tactics against the Trump administration to appease their left-wing base. Schatz, a member of Senate Democratic leadership, previously criticized Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s decision to place holds on military officials’ promotions as “obstruction” and “antithetical” to the Senate’s “advice and consent” responsibilities.

Schatz expanded his holds on Trump nominees to include individuals tapped to serve across 12 agencies, such as former New York Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito whom Trump appointed to a Department of Labor position, Axios reported.

Racist Democrat Jasmine Crockett Argues that the US Needs Illegal Aliens Because, “We Done Picking Cotton” 

Radical Democrat Jasmine Crockett, who attended elitist private schools in her youth, made the argument this weekend that the country needs illegal immigrants to “pick our cotton.”

Jasmine Crockett was speaking at Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut when she made the remarks.

Democrat Jasmine Crockett: “I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is, ain’t none of you all trying to go and farm right now. Okay, so I’m lying. Raise your hands. You’re not. You’re not. We done picking cotton. We are.”

Has Thicko Crocket ever heard of Eli Whitney and the cotton gin?

Does this dimwit really believe illegal immigrants are picking cotton in the South?

And just think, Democrats embrace her as the future of the party!

Leftist Director Oliver Stone Slams Dems for Lying Russiagate Attack on Trump

Last week, left-wing movie director Oliver Stone was in Washington, DC, to testify to Congress regarding the JFK assassination files.

Stone’s 1991 political thriller, JFK, explores the investigation of Jim Garrison into the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The film challenges the official Warren Commission report and suggests a conspiracy involving the CIA, the military-industrial complex, and then Vice President Lyndon Johnson.

While in DC, a reporter asked Stone if he was surprised that the public does not know more about the assassination attempt against President Trump and would-be assassin Thomas Crooks.

Stone answered, “I’m surprised we don’t. Yeah, I don’t know much about him. I mean, they have not done their homework.”

“They’re not reporting it.  I would like to know more. Certainly, the parents and history….”  he trailed off.

The reporter then pressed Stone about Russiagate.

“And do you think President Trump wanting to take on the FBI, the CIA, the Intelligence agencies is a good move after what happened to him with the Russia probe and all that?”

Stone responded, “Yeah.  Look at Russiagate. We paid for it.  Russiagate was the result and he’s got….I applaud that. And I hate what they did with Russiagate, I really do.”

“I think it’s, again, the lying, lying, lying…and selling that to the American people.”

“And the whole thing with hating Russia is so negative. It’s so un-American.”

To close the conversation, the reporter then asked, “My last one for you would just be, do you think Trump is right when he says there’s a weaponization against conservatives specifically.”

“Absolutely…there was.”

Democrats launching ‘war room’ to push back against Trump

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Monday it’s launching a “war room” in an effort to streamline party messaging and expand its rapid response operation, as Democrats search for new ways to counter President Trump.

The war room operation will take a “walls down” approach between DNC departments focused on messaging, research and mobilization operations, so the party can “take a more aggressive posture with rapid response,” according to the DNC.

Party officials outlined four primary goals of the new operation: to expand Democratic reach into “new information spaces”; to engage in “aggressive daily messaging to counter the Trump administration”; to use “creative opposition tactics” to counter GOP efforts; and to “combat the lies from the right” from a new vertical.

DNC Chair Ken Martin said the war room will “be updating people in real time and around the clock” to counter the Trump administration’s “reckless agenda.”

“While Donald Trump continues to push an agenda that raises costs, destroys jobs, and ruins lives, he also continues to lie, spin, and cheat his way out of accountability,” Martin said in a statement. “And the DNC is doubling down on its efforts to provide the American people with real facts and accurate information about the impact of his policies.”

SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable 

The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.” 

The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.” 

Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk’s Tesla electric vehicles, it’s no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an “assassination culture” isn’t just coming from the “fringe” left. 

“These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”

“Geofenced Every Event”: Democrats Caught Staging Another ‘Inorganic’ Color Revolution Operation Against Trump

Far-left, billionaire-funded NGOs—closely aligned with the rudderless and imploding Democratic Party—have been waging a psychological warfare operation against the American people. Framed as “grassroots,” the party of hate and violence—evident in their “Tesla Takedown” color revolution aimed at killing Tesla to pressure Elon Musk on DOGE—has been building momentum in recent weeks to segue into anti-Trump protests this weekend. The goal is to manufacture the illusion that Trump is wildly unpopular, leveraging a vast network of dark money-funded NGOs that supply rent-a-protesters to rallies nationwide. 

Ahead of anti-Trump protests, we uncovered the Democratic Party’s NGO war machine, totaling 186 NGOs, unions, and other radical leftist groups that supported Saturday’s mass mobilization efforts of rent-a-protesters and, of course, a grassroots component of the protests (mainly old white angry liberals). 

Late Friday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow openly boasted about the Democratic Party’s color revolution operation, even giving airtime to Ezra Levin of the NGO Indivisible Project, who attempted to convince the audience that the anti-Musk and anti-Trump protests are organic…

Anti-Trump Protester Speechless When Asked Why He’s Protesting – Pulls Out Communist-Leader’s Talking Points Handed to Him With “Free Sign”

A protest against President Trump and Elon Musk is underway in Washington DC today.  The Gateway Pundit earlier reported on the youngest member of Congress threatening “subpoenas and investigations” if they take back the majority.

But is this an organic rally?  Or is it more in line with colour revolutions that the ‘Deep State’ within the U.S. has orchestrated across the globe, most notably the Orange Revolution (2004-2005) and Maidan in Ukraine (2013-2014)?

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was promoting these protests last night on her show, telling her audience, “Go to bed kind of early.  Hydrate.  Eat your Wheaties in the morning.  Maybe put off that Friday night cocktail to make it a Saturday night cocktail…I’m only saying that because tomorrow is going to be very busy.”

Maddow then brought on Soros-funded Indivisible co-executive director Ezra Levin to promote the protests.

This type of media rhetoric is right in line with the USAID-funded news organizations that popped up in Ukraine in late November, 2013, to promote the Maidan.  It is worth checking out Oliver Stone’s Ukraine on Fire for free here to understand the innerworkings of USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy in helping to orchestrate these colour revolutions.

Journalists on the ground are documenting people being bussed in, some dressed head-to-toe in “full Islamic garb” and donning Palestinian flags, as shown in a video posted by Laura Loomer to X.

Montana GOP Purges 9 Turncoat Republican Senators for Backing Democrats, Says They Are No Longer Recognized as Republicans

The Montana Republican Party has formally censured nine Republican state senators for betraying the will of GOP voters and aligning themselves with Democrats during the 69th Legislative Session.

The state party’s Executive Committee has made it clear: these lawmakers are no longer recognized as Republicans.

The nine rogue senators—Jason Ellsworth, Wendy McKamey, Gayle Lammers, Josh Kassmier, Butch Gillespie, Gregg Hunter, Denley Loge, Russ Tempel, and Shelley Vance—have repeatedly sold out conservative priorities, voting with Democrats on key issues, disrupting committee assignments, and opposing vital amendments to Senate rules that would have preserved Republican leadership and integrity.

More from the press release:

The Executive Committee of the Montana Republican Party (MTGOP) has censured the nine Montana Senators as Republicans following their repeated alignment with Senate Democrats during the 69th Legislative Session. These Senators have undermined the Republican majority leadership and disregarded the will of Montana Republican voters.

The nine Senators in question-Jason Ellsworth, Wendy McKamey, Gayle Lammers, Josh Kassmier, Butch Gillespie, Gregg Hunter, Denley Loge, Russ Tempel, and Shelley Vance-have consistently voted with Democrats, betraying the core values of the Republican Party.

Despite multiple calls for unity and adherence to Republican principles, the Senators have chosen to align with Democrats, undermining Republican priorities and leadership. Their actions include voting to disrupt committee assignments, opposing critical amendment to Senate Rules, and failing to support the expulsion of Senator Ellsworth after an ethics investigation.

The MTGOP Executive Committee has determined that these Senators no longer represent the values or interests of Montana Republicans.

As a result, the MTGOP will no longer support or fund their campaigns. The Party is also urging the media and the public to refrain from referring to these Senators as Republicans.

The MTGOP is committed to ensuring that its elected officials uphold the trust of their constituents and the Party’s principles, and will continue to advocate for a united Republican voice in Montana.
