Governor-Elect Amy Klobuchar Promises Passage of ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban

In a Wednesday press conference, Minnesota Governor-Elect Amy Klobuchar (D) promised passage of the “assault weapons” ban that eluded Gov. Tim Walz (D) during late 2025 and throughout 2026.

The ban was pushed in response to the August 27, 2025, Annunciation Catholic School shooting, where a transgender shooting suspect killed two children, wounded 14 others, and left behind a video saying, “F*ck those kids.”

The transgender shooting suspect had three guns — a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol — and opened fire on schoolchildren as they sat in Mass.

Democrats and other leftist politicians in Minnesota responded by pushing a ban on “assault weapons,” “high capacity” magazines, and “ghost guns.” It failed to pass the legislature despite Gov. Walz pushing with all his might.

On Wednesday, Governor-Elect Klobuchar made clear the passage of the bill is a priority for her.

Bring Me The News quoted her saying, “The gun safety bill is going to get passed. And I am so excited to be working with the leaders on this.”

‘We will eat you’: Leftist Minnesota group suggests violence against Dems if lawmakers don’t prosecute Trump officials, get rid Schumer, Jeffries

Far-left group 50501 in Minnesota has announced a direct action in St. Paul on November 7, suggesting that they will become violent against Democrat politicians if they do not finish a list of left-wing policy demands.

A post from the group, as well as the “Solidarity Picnic Twin Cities” and “the_taxpayers” on Instagram, stated: “Democrats: we will eat you if you do nothing.”

The list of demands from 50501 included the following:

  • “Impeach and prosecute Trump officials”
  • “Cut funding to all DHS operations”
  • “Can Jeffries and Schumer”
  • “Bring the ‘Abolish ICE’ act to a vote”
  • “Bring the ‘Medicare for all’ act to a vote”
  • “Grow a f*cking spine”

The caption of the post stated: “Our commitment to each other does not end on Election Day. No rest until we are all free.”

The group shared a flyer for the “solidarity march and jamboree” where they advertised that there will be hot dogs, face painting, music, kids’ games, and other activities.

The event, the organizers said, is designed to “showcase the collective power of our community and our ability to quickly organize to take care of each other’s needs and respond to authoritarianism.”

The group apparently needs funding in order to pay for the “free hot dogs” and has requested donations and said they are needed “because we live in a place that makes basic necessities into profit.”

The group, however, wants to keep the event free for everyone. They are asking volunteers to bring a hot dog cart or food truck, shuttle transportation, participate in the parade, and called on everyone to volunteer “something else that you do that we don’t know about that is weird and wonderful and you are willing to do for free.”

50501 claims to be a non-profit, grassroots organization that is also responsible for anti-ICE and “No Kings” protests that have taken place around the nation. The group has been linked to funding through dark money donors, per the New York Post.

The national group has come under heavy scrutiny after a chapter in Utah had a “peacekeeper” fire shots at someone who had a gun at a Utah “No Kings” protest and killed a bystander.

DOJ Uncovers $29M More In Minnesota Benefits Fraud, Calls State ‘Epicenter For Fraud In America’

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it identified roughly $29.1 million in government benefits fraud in Minnesota over a one-month period.

Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 30, the DOJ’s National Fraud Enforcement Division and the District of Minnesota charged, convicted, or sentenced 13 individuals for proven or alleged schemes that caused nearly $83 million in intended losses to the federal government.

The DOJ said in an Oct. 30 statement that it uncovered $29.1 million in fraud in newly charged cases, which is part of the total $83 million.

The targeted benefits programs include Minnesota’s Medicaid program, the Federal Child Nutrition Program, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Some are accused of engaging in bribery as part of carrying out their schemes.

In one case, Shaakir Mohamud Ibrahim, 54, of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, is facing wire fraud and money laundering charges for being part of a scheme to defraud the Federal Child Nutrition Program through the nonprofit Feeding Our Future.

Ibrahim and his co-conspirators are alleged to have falsely claimed to be serving thousands of meals to children every day for four months. The department alleged he used this fake meal distribution to collect more than $1.1 million in reimbursements through the nonprofit.

In another case, the DOJ said it charged Feisal Mohamed Elmi, 46, of New Brighton, Minnesota, with 11 counts related to health care fraud in an $8.2 million scheme that targeted the state’s Medicaid program.

Treasury Uncovers $8 Billion in Suspicious Foreign-Directed Wire Payments: Bessent

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration has identified more than $8 billion in potentially suspicious wire payments directed by foreign agents from 2021 to 2025.

The Trump administration has uncovered more than $260 billion in fraud, prevented $72 billion in fraud, and brought enforcement actions against nearly $60 billion in fraud since January 2025, Bessent said during a news conference on Oct. 30 in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

He also announced that the administration’s anti-fraud investigations have led to hundreds of arrests in Minnesota.

“The days of indifference are over … wherever the money leads, the full weight of government will follow,” Bessent said.

The Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued an alert on Friday advising financial institutions to “be vigilant in detecting, identifying, and reporting suspicious activity” linked to certain cross-border payments involving U.S.-based money services.

In light of the $8 billion uncovered in foreign-directed wire payments, the Treasury warned financial institutions that bad actors can exploit U.S.-based money services to move funding overseas and conceal illegal activities, such as providing funds for terrorist organizations.

DHS Blasts Minnesota Officials After Serial Sex Assault Suspect is Released Despite ICE Detainer, Then Tries to Drag Woman Out of Her Apartment Window

Department of Homeland Security officials are blasting Minnesota authorities after a Mexican illegal alien with a long record of sexual assaults and violence was released after ICE lodged a detainer against him in May.

Eduart Gomez Ochoa, 28, who first entered the United States illegally in November 2000, was arrested on October 24 after a two-day manhunt.

Ochoa is now charged with first-degree burglary and attempted kidnapping for allegedly reaching through a ground-level apartment window in St. Paul last Thursday, grabbing a 21-year-old woman who was cooking near the window, and trying to pull her outside before she kicked and screamed until he fled.

Police recovered a hat and headband at the scene that the victim said belonged to him.

The victim later identified him from a photo lineup.

In a post on X about the case, DHS wrote, “This criminal alien should have NEVER been released. Eduart Gomez Ochoa, a Mexican national with a rap sheet a mile long, was recently RELEASED by local officials in Minnesota. Shortly after his release, he reoffended and has been apprehended again.”

“ICE first lodged a detainer for Gomez Ochoa in May. Minnesota officials should honor this detainer so that this serial sexual assaulter can be finally be deported,” the post continued.

In May, Ochoa was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, first-degree burglary, and third-degree assault after allegedly entering another apartment in St. Paul through a window and sexually assaulting a girl by sucking on her foot while holding her down.

Ochoa was arrested about ten days later and admitted to assaulting the girl but claimed he had met her at a gas station.

Within days of that arrest, he was also accused of two additional sexual assaults in Maplewood in which he allegedly approached women, groped them, and in one case bit a victim’s face.

Court records and local reporting show he has prior arrests for domestic abuse in violation of a protection order, multiple domestic assaults, felony threats of violence, felony fleeing a police officer, felony burglary, providing a false name, leaving the scene of a collision, dangerous weapons, theft, obstruction, and third-degree assault.

Scandal-plagued prosecutor charges James O’Keefe and Cam Higby with felonies for exposing shocking flaws in voter system

A scandal-plagued Democrat prosecutor in Minnesota has announced she is bringing charges against James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Productions, and Cam Higby, for an election system flaw-exposing stunt there.

They posed as Muslims and confirmed that Minnesota allows a single person who is a registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight more people, who are not registered, so they are allowed to have their votes counted.

The announcement came from Mary Moriarty, now the Hennepin County attorney.

She said the charges are for “unlawful voting and identity theft” and claimed, “Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated.

It was because O’Keefe dressed in Muslim garb and went to a polling station during the primary, asking about other people, not registered, having their votes count.

He was told he was their ID.

O’Keefe asked about the vouching system: “I can vouch for them. They are not registered…” and he was told, “That’s okay. That’s fine. Yeah!”

“If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people,” he was told.

Scientists Create the First Synthetic Cells That Grow, Reproduce, and Undergo Natural Selection

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have engineered the building blocks of artificial life from nonliving materials in a disturbing, first-of-its-kind experiment. They call them SpudCells.

For the first time, scientists have created artificial cells that can grow, reproduce, and pass advantageous genetic traits to future generations, allowing some cells to outcompete others.

They assembled these synthetic cells from fatty membranes, engineered DNA, ribosomes, and protein-producing enzymes. The cells contain a 90,000-base-pair DNA genome that helps them manufacture proteins, copy their genetic material, and grow by absorbing smaller, nutrient-filled bubbles.

These artificial cells can divide into daughter cells and pass their genetic material to their offspring. Researchers demonstrated five generations of DNA replication, feeding, growth, and mechanically assisted division.

The cells compete for limited resources. Those carrying an advantageous genetic variant grow faster and produce more offspring, allowing that variant to become increasingly common. In just five generations, the advantageous variant increased from 10% to 38% of the population.

Although these artificial cells still require specialized laboratory conditions to reproduce, this experiment represents a major step toward creating autonomous synthetic organisms.

Just because scientists can push the boundaries of life itself does not mean they should. Playing God comes with major consequences, and we are entering dangerous territory.

Minnesota Official Tells Somalis How to Vote With No ID and Same-Day Registration – All They Need is a Phone, TV, or Internet Bill!

A Minnesota election official went on a Somali TV station on Monday to advertise Minnesota’s nonexistent voter ID requirements by telling all of the illegals that they don’t even need an ID or an active voter registration to vote.

Minnesota law requires voters to be citizens of the United States to vote in state and local elections, but they require no proof. A phone, TV or internet bill qualifies documentation to register– even on the same day.

In an interview posted to Somali TV of Minnesota on Monday, Minnesota Secretary of State Voter Outreach Director Melanie Hezlip was asked by the station’s Abdirizak Diis what Somali viewers need to bring to the polls this election.

Her answer: nothing.

“If you’re already registered to vote, you don’t need to bring anything with you,” Hezlip said.

“You just show up to your early voting location, which is usually the county office or a city hall. Minneapolis and the bigger jurisdictions have a lot of extra places where you can go, like a lot of libraries or community centers.”

“As long as you’re registered to vote, you don’t need to bring anything with you,” she added.

‘No Enemy Dares to Threaten Me’: Ilhan Omar Shares Video with Somali Diss Track

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted a video Friday of herself walking beside a Minnesota lake with her husband, set to a Somali song the lyrics of which describe humiliating enemies and making them “suffer and cry,” according to a translation obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The 27-second clip shows Omar with her husband, Tim Mynett, accompanied by “Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya,” a song by Somali rapper Ilkacase Qays featuring singer Hodan Abdirahman.

“Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes,” Omar wrote. Her caption did not mention President Donald Trump or identify anyone as the target of the song.

The Free Beacon interpreted the music choice as a swipe at Trump amid federal investigations involving Omar’s immigration records and financial disclosures. The outlet said it commissioned a certified English translation of the Somali lyrics.

“The almighty has given me strength,” the translated lyrics read. “If I confront you in the afternoon, by evening, I will teach you a lesson and keep you awake throughout the night. Yes, you will suffer and cry in seething. You will scream like a demon.”

Another passage challenges the singer’s opponents:

“Let me show you who I am. No enemy dares to threaten me,” the song continues, according to the translation. “Let the enemies die of seething. We are the ones who rule this land.”

The Free Beacon also reported that the lyrics refer to subjugating and humiliating enemies. Those words come from the song’s translated lyrics, rather than remarks Omar made in the video.

Omar has appeared with both performers before. According to the Free Beacon, footage uploaded to YouTube shows her singing and dancing with Qays and Abdirahman at a gathering in May. She was also filmed dancing beside Qays at the Somali Global Awards in Minneapolis in June.

Omar’s post came less than two weeks after Homeland Security Investigations agents searched her Washington, DC, home on October 12. The Justice Department confirmed that investigators carried out a court-authorized search as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

DISGUSTING! Minnesota Democrat Senate Candidate Peggy Flanagan and Gov. Tim Walz Funneled Millions in Taxpayer Dollars to ‘Booty Bumping’ Kits That Help Junkies Shove Heroin, Meth, and Ketamine Up Their Buttholes

While hardworking Minnesotans struggle with soaring costs, crime, and the aftermath of massive welfare fraud scandals under Democrat rule, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan’s administration, working hand-in-hand with Gov. Tim Walz, steered millions of your tax dollars to a “harm reduction” nonprofit that hands out free kits complete with lube and step-by-step instructions for drug users to “safely” ingest hard drugs through the rectum.

According to a bombshell report from the Washington Free Beacon, the Walz-Flanagan team highlighted grants to Minneapolis-based Southside Harm Reduction Services as part of a $100 million state program announced for “Minnesotans facing homelessness.”

Flanagan, now the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate against Republican Michele Tafoya, touted the money with the usual progressive platitudes: “These grants will ensure that everyone can access the supports they need to find and secure safe, stable housing.”

What the fine print and the nonprofit’s own materials reveal is far more grotesque. Southside supplies free lube and other items specifically for “booty bumping” (also called “boofing”), allowing users to ingest heroin, methamphetamine, ketamine, and other drugs “through the rectum (anus, butthole).”

The group’s pamphlets instruct users: “Try to poop before. This is so your drugs are absorbed better. Stand, squat, or lay on your side in a comfortable position. It never hurts to have a boofing buddy!”

According to the Washington Free Beacon, state spending records show Minnesota has awarded $7.9 million in grants and contracts to Southside Harm Reduction Services since 2023.

That includes a $432,000 award in 2024 for “low-barrier access” to harm reduction supplies and a $2.5 million contract dated October 1, 2025, for 24/7 outdoor vending machines stocked with Narcan, “safer use” supplies, and hygiene items. The Free Beacon first flagged similar funding during Walz’s failed vice-presidential run.
