Happy Hands Tim Walz Caves, Will Work With Trump and Tom Homan. Is This Why?– townhall.com

The situation in Minnesota is out of control, and finally, happy hands lunatic Tim Walz has chosen reason, deciding to cooperate with Trump officials in the wake of the recent shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last Saturday. It sparked another round of outrage from the Left, who claim, without evidence, that he was executed. Meanwhile, some conservatives claimed wrongly that he was about to commit mass slaughter before he was shot—Pretti was legally carrying a firearm at the protest. It’s created a total mess on messaging, and now Trump is stepping in to clean up the mess, appointing Tom Homan, who I assume is going to be the point person, not just of the overall operation in the state, but with Walz personally in resolving this matter (via Fox 21/Associated Press):

Disgraceful Tim Walz Says ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ Is Playing Out in MN, Won’t Admit ICE Is Arresting Child Molesters and Murderers– www.westernjournal.com

For all Democrats bragged about Gov. Tim Walz’s years as an educator, it’s a good thing he didn’t teach English.

The Minnesota chief executive, whose watch included a welfare fraud scandal that robbed potentially billions from Minnesota and American taxpayers, launched a rhetorical salvo Sunday against President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement by using one of the best-known symbols of Holocaust history.

And — true to “knucklehead” form — he got the comparison completely wrong.

As Fox News reported, Walz was engaged in a lengthy discourse about Saturday’s shooting of an anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis — a discourse that was equally partisan and predictable — when he strayed into the dark days of World War II.

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said.

“Somebody is going to write that children’s story about Minnesota, and there’s one person who can end this now.”

Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, the largest children’s hospital in the city, announced last week that it would stop providing prescriptions for gender-mutilating drugs to minors in response to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) referring them and other hospitals for investigation.

In a January 20 statement shared with local media, the Lurie Children’s Hospital announced it would temporarily pause handing out prescriptions for so-called “gender-affirming” drugs such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children under 18 that the hospital had not previously treated. The children’s hospital stressed that the decision came in response to HHS’ January 15 announcement that the Chicago hospital, as well as several other prominent children’s hospitals, had been referred to the department’s Office of the Inspector General (HHS-OIG) for investigation for failing to comply with the department’s official guidance emphasizing the danger of these “sex-rejecting drugs.”

Last week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an opinion on the free-speech parameters for sitting judges in the commonwealth in a major decision related to a 2024 case.

The case concerned former Judge Mark B. Cohen, a Democrat who was suspended from the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas by the Court of Judicial Discipline in October 2024 over his outspoken political posts on Facebook.

‘When, as here, a sitting judge adopts the persona of a political party spokesperson and abuses the prestige of his office to advance that party’s interests, he detracts from the reputation of the entire judiciary.’

These posts, the Philly Voice reported, involved, for example, Cohen’s views about former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the hammer attack on California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, and the election of Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, among other national and state political issues.

Hours after Border Patrol fatally shot an armed man Saturday in Minneapolis, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he and other Democrats will not back a legislative package including a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), potentially risking a partial government shutdown.

The Senate has until Jan. 30 to pass a six-bill package funding multiple federal government agencies which, as presently being considered by the upper chamber, includes the DHS bill.

If a total of 60 senators do not support the package by the deadline, the country will face a partial government shutdown—less than four months removed from a record 43-day standoff which Schumer and the vast majority of his caucus consistently voted to prolong.

“What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city,” Schumer wrote in an X post late Saturday.

In the pathetic pursuit to teach a thing or two about a thing or two to the Trump Administration, liberals in Minnesota have decided the most effective way to handle this is by harassing minimum wage workers who have nothing to do with Trump or his administration. And when you do things like that, you not only prove how naive you are, but that you have no respect for the people around you.

The protestor in the video believed that it made her compassionate by filling up several carts just for the employees to restock the items. That’s not doing anything for their cause, which is extremely lacking, but it makes the jobs harder for workers who already have to deal with Karens like her.

After approaching the checkout line, she decided to lecture the staff by claiming, “We walk away from fascism. We walk towards a free America. We fight for a future that belongs to all of us. Everybody in, nobody out.” She then urged shoppers and workers to walk out on their job, which makes it even more pathetic.
