Minnesota Democratic governor again questions deportation of convicted sex offender

What on Earth could be this man's motives if not the Somali vote?  "The Minnesota Star Tribune is cheering on Tim Walz protecting an illegal alien monster who raped a 10 year old girl. No one should read this depraved rag. They are sick," said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., on X".

Just The News

“This monster repeatedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl. Tim Walz pardoned this sex criminal in an attempt to allow him to remain in our country. These are the criminal illegal aliens he and sanctuary politicians are protecting."

Tim Walz's clemency for child sex offender

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is once again defending a criminal illegal immigrant who was deported by the Trump administration.

"In a press conference earlier this week, Walz said the deportation of Tou Lue Vang did not make Americans safer – despite recognizing he committed “horrific crimes.”

“'Did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable,” Walz asked. “Did it improve the idea that we can’t all be judged by our worst day?”

"This comes after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported Vang last week, despite an effort by Minnesota’s Board of Pardons to prevent his removal.

"Walz’ comments have received national attention, with many conservatives calling for the Democrat to face impeachment or recall.

“Raping a child is not a ‘bad day.’ It is a horrific crime that should always carry the heaviest consequences,” said conservative radio host Glenn Beck.

"Vang’s deportation was confirmed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, who criticized the board for issuing a pardon for Tou Lue Vang on June 10.

“ICE deported Tou Vang, an illegal alien convicted child rapist,” said Lauren Bis, the interim assistant secretary. “This monster repeatedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl. Tim Walz pardoned this sex criminal in an attempt to allow him to remain in our country. These are the criminal illegal aliens he and sanctuary politicians are protecting. We will always put the safety of the American people first.” . . .  More...

Beyond Fraud: Citizen Journalists Unmask Crazy Government Waste

 Issues & Insights

"Nick Shirley, the young man who has been putting “professional” journalists to shame with his on-site reporting on rampant Medicaid fraud, released another video exposing schemes in New York, these involving senior centers for elderly Koreans and Chinese.

"One that he visited, an adult day care in Flushing, claims to have nearly 8,000 members, for which it bills Medicaid $1,600 each. But even an employee admits that the number is wildly inflated. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz joined Shirley. 

“We uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud,” Shirley says, “through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll.”

The mainstream media has pooh-poohed Shirley’s work (no doubt while lounging at their desks), but he continues to show them up with the kind of shoe-leather, public-service reporting that journalists used to do.

While Shirley’s work is important, he’s looking at only part of the problem. There is no question that outright fraud against federal entitlement programs is rampant. And we hope the fraudsters face swift and sure judgment and that laws are changed to stop fraud at the source. (See “The Fraud Industry Is Thriving, And Guess Who’s Happy About It.”)

But not all government fraud is illegal. In fact, we’d say that legal fraud is an even bigger scam than what Shirley is uncovering.

This fraud involves lawmakers opening the spending floodgates for projects that line the pockets of unions and politically connected businesses, while doing nothing to improve the lives of the taxpayers who foot the bill. And this is a decidedly bipartisan scam. And it needs just as much attention as the schemes Shirley is documenting.

For example, Bess Byers, a digital marketing specialist at Reason magazine, took viewers to a slab of sidewalk that taxpayers spent just under $1 million to repave — in the name of climate change." . . .

Los Angeles’s School District Went From Morally To Financially Bankrupt

  American Thinker    

"She lamented all the woke nonsense being shoved down her throat. She was tired of hearing all the race nonsense. She was tired of learning about the LGBT agenda and sitting through all the sexual diversity displays." . . . 

"Los Angeles Unified School District is having a hard time paying the bills necessary to teach the kids, so it’s struggling to keep its doors open. Clearly, the administrators, bureaucrats, and the elected Board of Trustees don’t handle addition and subtraction all that well. The district is failing basic math, and not just for the students.

"According to ABC News Los Angeles, LAUSD is on the brink of bankruptcy:

"The Los Angeles Unified School District could run out of money within about a year and is showing severe signs of financial distress, according to county education authorities.

"The nation’s second-largest school district, which serves more than half a million students, faces possible insolvency, prompting the Los Angeles County Office of Education to take action.

"The district’s last student population estimate listed 497,105 enrollees. That’s LESS than half a million. Even ABC News is having number troubles.

"What happened, and what could happen if the district doesn’t get its act together?

"Officials cited massive union contracts estimated to cost more than $1 billion annually, along with declining enrollment and reduced state funding, as factors contributing to a growing deficit and the possibility of state oversight.

“Worst case scenario is the state takes over, and this goes under receivership under the state, and that takes a long time to get out of, and it is really hard to maintain any control over curriculum, over class size,” Bacall said.

"I am shocked—SHOCKED (not!)—that the school district is going belly up, and the parents are taking their students out. The warning signs had been blaring for years." . . . More...

The war on bodegas; Mamdanism—communism with a smile—hates the middle class

Don Surber 

"Communists and other tyrannies hate middle class people—the bourgeois—because they are not dependent upon government. What made the American Revolution unique was the wealthy led it as a fight for independence." 

"Bodegas are what they call little corner stores in New York City. They are mostly owned by foreign-born immigrants who use it as a means to achieve middle-class status.

"Puerto Ricans gave them the name in the 1940s. They gave way to Dominicans after the original owners moved on up (moved on up). Then Mexico and other Latin American groups came along, as well as many Yemenis. The bodegas are the boots that immigrants use to bootstrap.

"Chinese, Koreans and Egyptians moved in and are moving on up (moving on up).

Before bodegas, Italians, Greeks, Jews, Irish and Germans owned many small groceries in earlier waves of immigration but largely moved on or sold to later arrivals.

Mamdani promised a string of city-owned grocery stores to compete with bodegas, which would put them out of business because bodegas have to pay taxes and rent, something a city-owned bodega would not have to do.

Despite this, the United Bodegas of America endorsed him." . . . 

You get what you vote for, in this case bodega owners voted for a competitor that bodegas will finance through taxes that they pay.

Mamdani's Rent Freeze BACKFIRES As NYC Landlords Start Dumping Buildings    "In June 2026, New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents on roughly one million rent-stabilized apartments across the five boroughs — a zero-percent increase that delivered on Mayor Zohran Mamdani's signature campaign promise and drew celebration from the tenants who had rallied for it. In this breakdown, we examine what that vote actually set in motion beneath the applause: a board reshaped by mayoral appointments, a landlord representative who resigned rather than sign her name to the outcome, and a dissenting economist who warned the city had walked this exact path before, in the New York of the 1970s. We trace how a policy sold as relief ran headlong into the arithmetic of keeping aging buildings standing — rents frozen, while insurance, fuel, taxes, and maintenance were not.

"The deeper question we explore is who absorbs the cost of a freeze that caps income on one side of the ledger while leaving every rising expense untouched on the other. Large corporate owners with market-rate units can cushion the blow; small, generational landlords and the buildings that are almost entirely rent-stabilized — concentrated in the Bronx, Upper Manhattan, and central Brooklyn — cannot. We look at what happens when those owners decide there is no longer a reason to hold on: distressed buildings changing hands at steep losses, some sold for less than the debt owed against them, and small owners replaced not by neighbors but by speculators and funds. Notably, the sharpest warning comes not from the real estate lobby but from a mission-driven affordable-housing lender, whose own projections suggest a policy built to protect tenants could deepen the very distress it promised to end." . . .

It Doesn't Look Like Things Are Going Well for the James Talarico Campaign

Amy Curtis

We wonder how Talarico is polling with the black community, given his views on homosexuality, transgender issues, and Christianity. Pete Buttigieg is getting zero percent, and Talarico is not very different from him.

"Who could have guessed that nominating a woke Christian who says he hates Christianity, that the Bible condones abortion, loves trans kids, supports veganism, and wants to destroy the Texas oil and gas industry would go badly for Democrats? Everyone except the Democrats who elevated James Talarico and made him the U.S. Senate nominee, it seems.

"Now it looks like voters are turning on Talarico, and it is glorious to behold. Apparently, the group waited 45 minutes through his speech and said that Talarico needed to stay for questioning." . . .

Hasan Piker Calls For an Ideological Purge of the Democratic Party—Dressed Like Mao—in Fiery Speech

"His speech was met with resounding applause from the college students in attendance." 

You know; those who wore Hamas scarves and cheered for the murderers of families and bare-handed killers of toddlers. 

AfterMath - Home

"Hasan Piker is borrowing more than just a wardrobe from Maoism as he continues his crusade against the Democratic Party establishment, and for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

"Dressed in a Zhongshan suit typical of the communist Chinese leader, Mao Zedong, Piker addressed a crowd at the College Democrats of America's 2026 summer convention on Saturday, calling out Democrats who dare to "compromise," support "fascists," fund ICE, fund Israel, and generally align themselves with business interests. "We don't need those Democrats anymore," the progressive streamer declared, as the DSA mounts its own ideological purge of the Democratic party." . .  . 

"Despite the typical insistence from the average American Democrat or socialist that socialism will not end in dictatorships like Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union or Mao Zedong's Communist China, Democrats and Democratic-aligned groups have continued to associate themselves with the more extreme personalities of their party's progressive wing, Piker chief among them. That continued acceptance casts real doubt on the party's commitment to ensuring tyranny doesn't emerge as an accident of the very systems it continues to platform, and that conservatives have criticized as blatant communism." . . .

Mick wants rockers to get off of your cloud

 Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker  

Furthermore, I paid for a ticket to hear you sing, not hear your political views.  Who cares what Mick Jagger or Bruce Springsteen have to say anyway?

"Mick Jagger has a message for his fellow rockers:  Stay out of politics.  Fans don’t wanna hear it.  Mick wants them to remember that song about leaving people alone, i.e., “Hey (hey), you (you), get off of my cloud, get off of my cloud.”

"It’s refreshing, and a realistic message from a man who’s performed before, thousands of times.  Let’s check it out

:Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger says concertgoers want to escape from politics and everyday worries rather than sit through political speeches.

Jagger made the remarks during an interview on The New York Times podcast after being asked about Bruce Springsteen, who has repeatedly used his current
tour to lambast President Trump.

Host David Marchese noted that Springsteen ‘clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth’ with audiences before asking Jagger what his own relationship with fans means to him.

Jagger said his priority is giving audiences a break from the outside world.

‘The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is [for] those people that come is to [sic] have the best time they possibly can,’ Jagger said.

‘For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and whatever, just to give them the best time they can have.’ . . .

. . . "They feel like you need to know their valuable opinion, then they can’t handle the reaction when fans say that they don’t care about their opinions.  Again, the Dixie Chicks." . . .

Maine Trans Candidate to Replace Platner Vowed Not to Deceive, Then a Hilariously Glowed-Up Memoir Pic Surfaced

What has our nation become?   "Glowed up":  

. . ."Glow up is also used as a verb, as in I saw him glow up during high school. Less commonly, glow up is used in reference to more temporary transformations, such the application of makeup. The term is typically applied to people, but it’s sometimes applied to things, often to be somewhat humorous, as in This model is a major glow up from the last release." 

 RedState 

"Indeed, voters deserve to see the real crop of candidates Democrats had waiting on the bench. The ones that were so bad that they clung to Platner for dear life, despite his never-ending sea of scandal."

"Last night’s Maine Democratic Senate debate to replace Graham Platner was a train wreck. Don't believe me? Feel free to check out this excellent rundown by my colleague, Nick Arama.

"Keep in mind that this not only looked like a train wreck, but it comes with the realization that this crop of misfit toys has only surfaced after the Democrats' previous muse, an accused rapist with a Nazi tattoo and an unhealthy fascination with portapotties, was forced out of the race.

"Among the new group was one candidate, Ashley Webb, who believes some of the best qualifications for serving in the Senate are writing songs and books.

"Oh, and transparency ... I guess?

"'I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't deceive the people like we are being deceived right now," Webb said" . . .

. . . The transgender Democrat running in the crowded replacement field has been promoting [this] memoir, "I Am Ashley", with an AI-generated image of a much younger, glamorized woman that bears almost no resemblance to the candidate.

And by "almost no resemblance," I mean "absolutely no resemblance."

UN Ambassador Bursts Mamdani's Bubble Over His Wish to Arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu in NYC

 Becca Lower – RedState   

"Wasn't it just a week ago when Mayor Mamdani's office got caught trying to meet with the Iranian ambassador? Who does that, and thinks it's in a city mayor's job description? Whether it's free public transit, government-run grocery stores, or arresting world leaders on behalf of an illegitimate world court, someone needs to put Mamdani in his place. It's been clear for a while now that he truly does not understand what the job is that he was hired to do."

"When will the members of the far-Left cabal learn? "

"New York City, as the home of the United Nations headquarters, is hosting the U.N. General Assembly in the fall. And Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed during a recent interview with a New York Times interviewer that he's holding onto a deeply-held wish and campaign promise: to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested when the world leader arrives in his city to attend it.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the Hague,” Mr. Mamdani told Lulu Garcia-Navarro this week on “The Interview,” a New York Times show, referring to the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.

“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mr. Mamdani added. “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”

"Mamdani wasn't finished, though, admitting that he's not 100 percent sure "whether he has the legal authority" to do it, and to that end, he's still consulting with his administration's Law Department.

"Netanyahu, meanwhile, told a WABC radio host that Mamdani's words make it clear to everyone whose side he's on - that of terrorists like Hamas:

Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:
1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC,
2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t,
3.…
