Under Tim Walz, Minnesota has become the most scandal-ridden state in America. So far, no one in state government has been held accountable for theft that has mounted into billions of dollars. Today, a first step toward accountability was taken by the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and Oversight Committee, chaired by my friend Kristen Robbins. The Republican majority on the Fraud Committee issued an 84-page Final Report on its sixteen-month

As all the world knows, Minnesota’s DFL Party has stood by for years while criminals stole billions of taxpayer dollars. Republicans have tried to stop the steal, but have gotten no cooperation from Democrats. Thus, in last year’s legislative session, the Republicans proposed to establish an office of Inspector General to investigate fraud in state government, with the power to bring criminal prosecutions. That proposal was, for obvious reasons, popular

They tell me that in marketing a consumer has to hear a message seven (7) times before it begins to register. In selling the “new” Amy Klobuchar as Minnesota’s next governor, the Minneapolis Star Tribune is now up to 2. The Star Tribune writes today, Klobuchar makes early move to separate herself from Walz in governor’s race. It’s essentially the same article, about the same Sunday event, that the paper

An odd event occurred on Sunday, May 3: U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar held an event, a press conference, in support of her campaign to be become Minnesota Governor. Forget for the moment the question as to why a titan of the Senate like Klobuchar would give up that status to serve as the governor of a Midwestern flyover state. I mean, why not run in California or New York, states

In a crowded field, here’s my candidate for the most brazen lie of the day. From an official Gov. Tim Walz press release, Amid Federal Attacks on Medicaid, Governor Walz Shores Up DHS Leadership to Protect Minnesotans. Minnesota is drowning in $10 billion of Medicaid fraud. So Gov. Tim Walz is forced into having his Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of Human Services (DHS) swap jobs the day before the Commissioner

The Minnesota Star Tribune is abundant in many things, including self-regard. It has a large staff and the resources of a billionaire owner on which to draw. As for self-regard, publisher Steve Grove — a former Commissioner in the administration of Governor Tim Walz — thinks taxpayers should be forced to support the Star Tribune. Speaking of “support,” I should reiterate the Star Tribune’s incessant support of illegal immigration in

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports, Gov. Tim Walz eyes his future as agenda stalls, influence wanes at Capitol. Huh? The report continues, Tim Walz’s final legislative session has the feel of a governor on the way out. His agenda is sputtering, his clout is fading and his focus is shifting as he figures out what, exactly, he will do next. To the casual observer, the star of Tim Walz has

Don’t be Minnesota. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Don’t Minnesota my state: Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes a political punching bag. The Star Tribune is completely baffled by this development, which they view as wholly undeserved. The Star Tribune blames “conservative candidates” and Trump for the phenomenon. The Star Tribune tracks down a political science professor who attributes the state’s unwanted status entirely to a Trump “grudge.” No mention is

Deputy editor Jack Butler of the Wall Street Journal’s Free Expression newsletter comments on our repulsive clown prince of a governor this morning: * * * * * Gov. Chutzpah: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wants you to believe that he’s an antifraud crusader. He claims that the recent federal raids on sites suspected of “industrial-scale fraud” happened because “our state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported it.” Mr. Walz says

I’ve always been told that local media love a local angle on national news. Here’s one for you. Cole Tomas Allen is now all but forgotten as the man who tried to shoot up the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, attended by Trump and other national leaders, last Saturday night in Washington, DC. Despite his statements to authorities and the publishing of his manifesto, Allen’s motivations remain a complete mystery. A
