WHOOPS: Tim Walz is about to have some ‘splainin’ to do…

If you live in a liberal-run US city, hate to break it to you, but you’re on your own and nobody is coming to help. The only reason residents of DC caught a break is because it’s a federal district, and ultimate authority over the Swamp lies with Congress and the federal government. That gave President Trump power there that he doesn’t have in other liberal crime hellholes like Chicago or San Francisco.

Just look at Minneapolis. It’s turned into the “wild west” under failed left-wing leadership. And their dangerous laws – or lack thereof – are only making it worse. Did you know the Minneapolis Police Department won’t even go after suspects who smash and grab cars? It’s true. There’s actually a policy that bans cops from chasing suspects for so-called “property crimes.” What does that mean for residents? Well, for starters, it means you’ll be lucky if you still have a car left by the end of the workday.

Dustin Grage:

BREAKING: The Minneapolis Police Department did NOT pursue suspects who smash and grabbed 125+ cars due to a policy that bans chasing suspects for property crimes. It’s the Wild West in Minneapolis under Democrat control. Nobody is coming to help.

Meanwhile, as crime soars in Minneapolis, Governor Tim Walz, the same guy who embarrassed himself in 2024 as Kamala’s floptacular sidekick, is busy on X accusing President Trump of being a “dictator” for supposedly erasing history. Never mind that Walz is a proud member of the party that tears down historical statues on a daily basis.

13 Minnesota Cities Are Looking To Launch Government-Owned Marijuana Stores

As some Minnesota cities fret over regulating newly legalized and normalized marijuana sales, others see an opportunity.

Elk River is among 13 Minnesota cities considering opening municipally owned cannabis stores. They would be blazing new trails in this regard, as government-run pot shops aren’t currently in use anywhere else in the country. City Administrator Cal Portner talks about Elk River’s approach as making the most of a situation.

“I don’t sense that our council is enthusiastic about the law to legalize, but they’re accepting of reality,” he said.

Revenue potential from cannabis sales, and how it can be put to use in the community, is part of the appeal. Assuring compliance is also part of it.

“Our liquor stores never fail compliance tests, whether for tobacco or liquor,” Portner said. “We feel we can do the same thing within the cannabis industry.”

GOP Leader Blasts Walz Over Law Allowing the Release of Man Who Killed Family With Axe

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., is criticizing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz following the release of David Brom, who was convicted of killing his parents and two younger siblings with an axe in 1988, as reported by Fox News.

Brom’s release came under a 2023 state law signed by Walz that reformed sentencing for juvenile offenders.

“Once again, Tim Walz proves why he is one of the worst governors in the country,” Emmer told Fox News Digital.

“Not only do his soft-on-crime policies rob victims of the justice they deserve, but they also put the safety of every Minnesotan at risk. Being a self-proclaimed knucklehead doesn’t excuse the chaos he has caused with his dangerous, far-left agenda.”

Emmer, the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House, joined other Minnesota Republicans in condemning Brom’s release, calling it “a slap in the face” to the victims’ families.

Judicial Watch Uncovers FBI and DHS Docs Revealing Biden Regime Covered Up Counterintelligence Concerns Over Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s Ties to Communist China

Newly obtained documents by Judicial Watch from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI reveal a disturbing and deliberate cover-up by the Biden administration of U.S. counterintelligence concerns regarding Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and his deep ties to Communist China.

The 47-page document dump, obtained through a March 2025 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, exposes that federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies flagged Walz as a major concern, and yet those warnings were hidden from the public just as he was being handpicked by the Biden-Harris campaign to join the 2024 ticket.

According to emails and chat logs from DHS’s “Nation-State Threat Bi-Weekly Sync” group, federal agents openly discussed how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had cultivated Walz as a long-term asset and saw his selection as Vice President as a major win for Beijing.

According to Judicial Watch:

A Homeland Security official whose name is redacted states: Walt’s got the Vp. You all have no idea how these feeds into what prc [People’s Republic of China] has been doing here with him and local gov. It’s seriously a line of the intel. Target someone who is perceived they can get to DC

Another official responds: “this speaks too to the rin [raw intelligence] you reviewed for us”.

A participant adds: “the perception narrative that has been pushed with one of the local ngos [non-governmental organizations] had direct ties to the former Gov here in Nevada. FBI has lead on a couple of things the only issue is being in the 9th circuit.”

A participant states: “Good to know and yes there involvement with HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] and fbi on things here”.

Another adds: “If anyone has interest I can give provide context in a classified setting.”

An official noted: “But this has more of strategic impact then obviously the general public knows”.

A day later, a BBC article reporting on Chinese internet users celebrating Walz’s past ties to China—specifically his time teaching in Guangdong in 1989, the year of the Tiananmen Square massacre—was shared in the DHS chat.

Retailers Accused Of “Racism” As They Flee Black Neighborhoods In Milwaukee

Milwaukee is the latest in a long list of US cities facing a rapid retail exodus in minority neighborhoods and once again the blame is being placed on the companies in question rather than the behavior of the residents as they protests the rising tide of “food deserts”.

At the beginning of July, city officials mounted a public outcry after Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. announced the decision to close at least five Pick ‘n Save supermarket locations, including one in Milwaukee’s Metcalfe Park neighborhood. 

The city was also notified by Walgreens that they will be closing at least seven locations over the next two years and CVS will be closing some locations as well.  Activists argue that the closures center around “black and brown neighborhoods” and that these areas “deserve access” to nearby grocery outlets.  

Kroger’s decision was discussed at a July 2 meeting of the Common Council’s Community and Economic Development Committee.  Many people walk or take the bus to buy food, said Alderwoman Sharlen P. Moore. If the store is gone, they may have nowhere close to shop.  “This impacts our city,” Moore said. “They’re closing quite a bit of grocery stores that are in neighborhoods that absolutely have no access to groceries.”

Suspected Minnesota assassin claims he was part of a 2-year undercover investigation

Suspected assassin Vance Luther Boelter said that before the gruesome June 14 killings in suburban Minneapolis, he was part of an undercover investigation of what he called the “sudden and unexpected deaths of 400 Minnesota citizens and ties between Minnesota politicians and the Chinese government.”

In his latest bizarre exchange with the media, the jailed Boelter continued to spin wild tales that allegedly explain the shooting rampage that killed state Rep. Melissa Hortman (DFL-Brooklyn Park) and her husband, Mark, and seriously wounded state Sen. John Hoffman (DFL-Champlin) and his wife, Yvette.

Boelter was indicted on six federal charges for murder, stalking, and firearms violations that could bring the death penalty upon conviction. He will be arraigned on Sept. 12 in Minneapolis. His court-appointed attorney says he will plead not guilty to all charges.

In a message sent from the Sherburne County Jail to Alpha News, Boelter referred to himself in the third person.

“Prior to June 14. Unknown to his wife, family, friends, and coworkers, Dr. Vance Boelter EdD had conducted a two-year-long undercover investigation into the sudden and unexpected deaths of 400 Minnesota citizens, and ties between Minnesota politicians and the Chinese government,” Boelter wrote. “Evidence will be forthcoming.”

Boelter did not offer more details on the alleged deaths. The statement about politicians and China could be a reference to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who made dozens of trips to China since his youth in Nebraska.

Alleged MN Assassin’s Jaw-Dropping Confession Letter Implicating Tim Walz Is Released

The shooter of two Minnesota politicians and their spouses was indicted Tuesday on federal murder charges, but not before offering a jaw-dropping revelation about his relationship with Gov. Tim Walz.

Legal observers have speculated about Vance Boelter’s connection to Walz, who appointed the disturbed man to a state board. Boelter killed one lawmaker and her husband while critically wounding another and his wife during back-to-back shootings last month.

The 57-year-old, who faces the death penalty, told authorities he was “hired by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college” and had been approached by state politicians to carry out assassination attempts, including against U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

During a search of Boelter’s vehicles — lookalike police cruisers matching his disguise as an officer — investigators found a hit list of politicians that included Klobuchar, along with a rambling manifesto claiming he intended “to spill all the beans” about who hired him.

The letter was addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel and written before he shot and killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman. Boelter then traveled to the home of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman; both were shot at close range but managed to survive.

Boelter was arrested after a two-day manhunt. His letter was made public as part of the investigation, the Western Journal reports.

“I am the shooter at large in Minnesota involved in the state 2 shootings the morning of Saturday June 15th at approximately 2:30 am and 3:30 am, or around that time,” the letter began. “I will probably be dead by the time you read this letter. I wanted to share some info with you that you might find interesting.

“I was hired by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college. I have been on projects since that time in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa. All in the line of doing what I thought was right and in the best interest of the United States.”

“Recently I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done, and __ ___ and ___ ___ was also aware of the project,” Boelter’s alleged letter continued with redactions. “Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina [ Smith],” the state’s two Democratic U.S. senators.

Senator Mitchell found guilty in burglary trial

Jurors have reached a verdict in the trial of a Minnesota State Senator accused of breaking into her stepmother’s home last spring. 

The jury found Senator Nicole Mitchell (D-Woodbury) guilty of both charges. 

Mitchell was charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools for the April 2024 break-in. Mitchell took the stand in her own defense, saying she was not planning to take anything, but drove to her stepmother’s home dressed in black in the middle of the night to check on her because her stepmother has Alzheimer’s. Prosecutors say she was there to steal, plain and simple. 

Mitchell’s lawyer Dane Dekrey told media after the trial concluded that he is proud of the case even if he disagrees with the guilty verdict. He also said he believes they lost the case due to the original statements made on body camera. 

In those statements made the night she was arrested, Mitchell told police she was at the house to retrieve items of sentimental value, including the ashes of her late father.

85 Minnesota Autism Clinics Under Investigation for Millions in Medicaid Fraud

About 85 autism clinics in Minnesota are under investigation for tens of millions in Medicaid billing fraud.

The state’s Department of Human Services (DHS) is under a microscope for paying out outrageous amounts for services supposedly delivered by the state’s burgeoning autism treatment sector, according to KSTP-TV.

The records show that DHS paid out claims totally about $700 million since the state’s autism program began in 2014. But millions of that seems to be paying for services that were never rendered. And investigators say that some $20 million has been fraud.

Now, DHS is reportedly visiting every one of the state’s locations after data shows that at least 85 of them fraudulently billed the program.

One expert says that the state ignored the warning signs.

Dr. Eric Larsson with the Lovaas Institute Midwest says that some of the bills were obviously suspicious. “No apparent email address, no website. Nobody is answering the phone,” he said. “They’re certainly not trying to deliver services.”

The problem first came to light last December when the FBI raided two Minnesota autism clinics under suspicions of fraudulent billing, KROC radio reported at the time.

State DHS officials are now scrambling to make sure that the hundreds of autism centers in the state are submitting legitimate bills.

Two of the clinics under investigation are Smart Therapy Center, LLC in Minneapolis and Star Autism Center LLC in St. Cloud, which also had ties to the Feeding Our Future child meal fraud case.

Developing: Alleged MN Assassin Vance Boelter’s Confession Letter Released, And It’s Wild

A rambling manifesto reportedly penned by a man who allegedly killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and wounded two others during a shooting spree last month was released to the public on Tuesday.

Vance Boelter, a 57-year-old man who is now potentially facing the death penalty on two capital murder charges, claimed that he was “hired by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college” and had been approached by state politicians to assassinate others.

The act, he insinuated in the rambling document, was perpetrated “to spill all the beans” and make the conspiracy public.

The letter, addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel, was written after he had shot state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman. The Hortmans died while the Hoffmans survived.

According to KMSP‑TV, the letter was released Tuesday as part of Boelter’s indictment for the June 14 attacks. He was captured after a two-day manhunt.

“I am the shooter at large in Minnesota involved in the state 2 shootings the morning of Saturday June 15th at approximately 2:30 am and 3:30 am, or around that time,” the letter began. “I will probably be dead by the time you read this letter. I wanted to share some info with you that you might find interesting.

“I was hired by U.S. Military people off the books starting in college. I have been on projects since that time in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa. All in the line of doing what I thought was right and in the best interest of the United States.

“Recently I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done, and __ ___ and ___ ___ was also aware of the project,” Boelter’s alleged letter continued. “Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina [ Smith],” the state’s two Democratic U.S. senators.
