  1. I fail to see what Walz’s being a good family man has to do with anything. Has anyone here criticized him for how he has treated his family? I dare say with conviction that many who do wrong have been good to their own families.

      “I can confirm public speculation that Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman, Permanent Representative of Somalia to the UN and President of the Security Council, is in fact associated with Progressive Health Care Services, a home health agency in Cincinnati.

      HHS has previously taken action against Progressive in response to a conviction for Medicaid fraud.”

  2. A message to the clueless, from an actual Venezuelan.

    With some salty language….

    “Sentiments of Venezuelans

    I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

    If you have never lived in Venezuela

    If you did not grow up there

    If you did not watch your country collapse in real time

    If you did not stand in food lines

    If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built

    If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

    Then shut the @#$% up.

    You do not have an opinion.Your opinion does not matter.

    And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

    I’m Venezuelan.

    I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.

    I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

    This is not politics to me.

    This is trauma.

    Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.

    There was trade.There was money coming in.

    There was investment from the US.There were jobs.

    There was food.There was medicine.

    My family had five businesses.

    We had our home

    We had investments.

    We had a future.

    Then the government started nationalizing everything.

    Private companies were taken.

    Foreign investors were pushed out.Imports were blocked.

    Price controls destroyed production.

    Corruption exploded.

    And everything died.

    Not slowly.Violently.

    People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

    They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

    People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.

    They are trying to survive.

    They are trying to find food.

    Trying to find medication.

    Trying to keep their families alive.

    So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

    No.It’s not complicated.

    You’re just ignorant.”

  3. Once again, another trans terrorist from a well to do dem donor family goes full blown psycho.

    “The violent man arrested over a hammer attack at the family home of Vice President JD Vance in Ohio is a trans leftist. William “Julia” DaFoor comes from a well-to-do liberal family whose parents are doctors and donors to Democrats. The attack has echoes of the trans militant who tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh at his family home in Maryland. Read:”

  4. The fraud in Minnesota is astounding and indefensible. But the worst part is legitimate help for people who need it suffer the most from this Democrat run, top to bottom, fraud operation.

    This is what that supposedly nice family man allowed, participated in, and covered up. He harmed other families. And continues to….

    These are facts.

    “We just exposed the real-life consequences of Tim Walz’s failure to address Minnesota’s fraud crisis.

    @nicksortor and I sat down with Jennifer Larson, one of the largest autism center providers in Minnesota.

    She is now set to file for bankruptcy as a direct result of Minnesota Democrats failing to address the Somali fraud crisis.

    After ignoring the fraud for years, Tim Walz has now frozen payments for 90 days to key programs, without distinguishing longstanding, legitimate providers from fraudsters.

    In this case alone:

    – 120 employees will lose their jobs

    – Hundreds of autistic Minnesotans, many of them children, will lose the care they desperately need

    Across the state:

    – Thousands of jobs could be lost

    – Up to 50,000 children could be effectedLow-functioning autistic children and their families will now be left without support because of these failures.

    Tim Walz has since withdrawn from the governor’s race.Now he should resign.”

    These are the actions of a corrupt criminal, not a good family man.

  5. Consequences.

    It won’t really hurt him much, other than his pride. After all, he’s been insider trading as a govt fraudster, which pays quite well I’m told, but he will not be pleased. 😁

    It should be a sedition charge as well….

    From the Secretary of War….

    https://x.com/i/status/2008189258528665898

    “Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice. And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice.

    Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.

    To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly’s reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly’s official and permanent military personnel file.Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days.

    Captain Kelly’s status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action.

    These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay.”

  7. This guy thinks he is in the big leagues now that he’s mayor…spoiled brat

    NYC MAYOR OR SECRETARY OF STATE? 0°

    So apparently NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he was “briefed” on a U.S. military operation involving Venezuela.

    Quick reminder:

    & You’re not running foreign policy.

    • You’re not commanding the military.
    • You’re the mayor of New York City.

    As one reply perfectly put it: your job is parks, potholes, trash pickup, and keeping the city safe

    – not pretending to be a world leader.

    Maybe focus on crime, homelessness, and subways before cosplaying as a geopolitical authority figure.

  8. That was me…Word keeps denying log in on my phone…so here I am on my iPad!

    As I was saying…this guy is such bad news for NYC and the rest of our country…he thinks he’s in the big time now and he has the governor, senators and congress people in his back pocket…I suppose he does for the most part…

    And now the NY governor has declared Muslim Month lighting up landmarks in green for their “contribution”…even the site of the Twin Towers…how ironic is that?!

  9. BTW, every single daycare in MN is inspected every single year and there is no announcement when anyone is coming. The laws change every year and are very stringent. One day care center was written up because there was a package of diaper wipes left out on a changing table. The law had changed, and someone did not realize it. Infractions are online and anyone can look it up. One wonders if the centers who were cheating were inspected with no announcement beforehand. If not, why not?

  10. I had wondered about that, Kathaleena. Just how did that work? Another bribe to get people to neglect inspection and reporting duties? Or were inspections and reporting done properly but not looked at by the higher ups?

  12. As with the young man who broke into JD’s home the woke “progressives” are culpable for the confusion of transgenders. I don’t know if he was transitioning or what was being fed into his life but he is lost.
    A man at our church had a 51 year old son who decided he was a girl. This man’s wife insisted they call their son by his chosen girl name and support the son’s decision. This son killed himself two days ago. I find this as an attack from the enemy of our souls.
