  1. Word is he’s ending his campaign for reelection.

    “Tim Walz was almost Vice President of the United States.

    Now he’s dropping out of the Governor’s race in Minnesota in disgrace.

    All because a 23-year-old kid with a camera and a thirst for justice exposed billions of his fraud.

    May @nickshirleyy’s work create 1,000 more Nick Shirleys.”

    The Dems have selected their fall guy.

    “Gov. Tim Walz is likely to announce on Monday that he will drop out of the 2026 governor’s race, political insider Blois Olson reports.

    Olson reports that the governor met with Senator Amy Klobuchar on Sunday to discuss the decision.”

  2. Tychicus — I don’t understand the American fascination with Cuba. Do they want to return Havana to the mobsters that once ran the place? Much like returning Venezuelan oil to Exxon? Is the American gov’t simply a gun for hire.

    It should be fairly easy for the US to invade and roll over the island. And what will they accomplish; interrupting Canadian holidays? I have this vision of US tanks rolling into a resort and Cdn tourists looking mildly upset that their holiday was interrupted. It’s a cheap safe place for a winter holiday, nothing more.

    Terrorism is the use of violence as a political tool (usually associated with non-state actors or we could call Russia, Israel, etc terrorists). Interestingly some terrorists groups shot drug dealers eg IRA. And drug cartels tried to avoid politics (Columbian cartels worked with FARC but rarely funded them). If drug cartels get involved in politics its a business decision — they support gov’ts that are good for business much like US companies lobby congress except one uses violence and the other uses money. Its strictly business. Drug dealers and terrorists rarely mixed (or at least the terrorists as defined above)

  3. The color revolutions continues…

    “A socialist–communist–Marxist cell in the U.S. mobilized foot soldiers in 12 hours to foment a “class war.” What unfolded isn’t spontaneous dissent. It’s transnational information warfare. It’s a deployment. Expect more of it. The comrades have just begun.”

    Here’s a longer piece that puts it all together…

    https://x.com/i/status/2007708749075480885

    “WATCH the video here to hear the protest organizers in their own words as they chronicle how they mobilized foot soldiers for the new “class war” they say they are fighting against “American imperialism.” They admit they got an unexpected ally: Democratic Party activists in 50501, a group launched last year to organize #TeslaTakedown protests against Elon Musk and #HandsOff protests against Trump.

    What I discovered:As U.S. forces captured Maduro, a parallel operation began almost instantly inside the United States:a rapid, coordinated information and street-mobilization campaign by a network of self-described socialist, Marxist, and communist organizations, most of which operate as nonprofits that DO NOT have to pay taxes.

    I’ll lay out how I followed the breadcrumbs in this special X Reporter’s Notebook…For three years since Oct. 7, I’d been seeing the same thing at protest after protest: Venezuelan flags showing up at anti-Israel rallies. Not randomly. Not organically.

    Always alongside the same slogans, the same organizers, the same faces. That’s when I knew this wasn’t about Gaza, or Venezuela, or “peace.”

  4. Too bad about Tim Walz. Clear example of bullying and harassment in American politics ending a career. Although I found him far too centrist, he was a decent family man who cared about people.

  5. Well there goes my favorite hotel in which to stay…no longer!!

    A follow-up email several hours later then allegedly stated, “After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected with your name and we will be cancelling your upcoming reservation. You should see a proper cancellation email in your inbox shortly from Hilton.”

    DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement: “Hilton has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement. When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations.”

    “This is UNACCEPTABLE,” said McLaughlin. “Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation’s immigration laws?”

  6. Treason is what it is.

    “Tim Walz is the “Canary in a Coal Mine”.

    The issue is the “Waivered” social welfare programs masquerading as “health care” under Medicaid.

    The programs at issue in Minnesota were given “waivers” from normal Medicaid regulations both before and after COVID — that means by both the Trump 1.0 and Biden Admin.

    But it was during the Biden Admin. that all the fraud controls were simply abandoned by blue states, allowing them to serve as a mechanism to pump billions of dollars into left-wing social welfare programs — simultaneously bringing them votes and employing the vast legions of left-wing NGO activists while building that network even further.

    But you need a population to service for this to all take root, sprout, and grow.

    Hence, open borders.

    The Trump DOJ 2.0 does not have anywhere close to enough lawyers to peel back the layers of this vast network throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois… and every other state with a Democrat Gov.

    The Gov. controls the administrative state within a state, which is where these “waivered” programs are created and operated. The Biden Admin shipped them bodies with the “open borders” policy, and then turned on the funding firehose.

  7. This will continue to be the case. Folks are done waiting for the media to end their biased reporting and self police.

    they won’t, they can’t be trusted, so folks should act accordingly.

    Remember, any mainstream outlet in America could have exposed all this. They chose not to in service to Democrats.

    Their just deserved end can’t come quickly enough.

    “It should not be lost on citizen journalists and anyone who finds waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars offensive that starting with an investigative report by Chris Rufo in Nov-25 followed by a viral YT video by Nick Shirley, the sitting Governor of Minnesota has effectively“resigned” by choosing not to run again. In Minnesota, the question now is how far does the waste run and will it be tied back to quid pro quo campaign contributions.

    Separately, the critical question for the rest of the country, and for the financial lenders from the bond market, is if these same citizen journalists can now run their playbook and direct it on California – the 4th largest economy in the world.”

Narcoterrorist – a person or group that conducts violent activities targeted at anti-narcotic police and similar forces. The term is also used for terrorism funded by drug trafficking. Narcoterrorism poses significant political risk in various areas of the world, notably in part of South America.
