I wrote this yesterday morning and now rumors are circulating.
Rumors started late Sunday from political insider Blois Olson, who cited unnamed sources saying Walz met with Sen. Amy Klobuchar to discuss his future. The speculation ties to a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota’s childcare and Medicaid programs, with federal estimates of $250 million to billions lost at possibly nonexistent centers linked to Somali immigrants. Republicans, including President Trump, have criticized Walz’s oversight, while his office stays silent ahead of the St. Paul event airing live on FOX 9.
All For One – One For None
I understand how figures like Mamdani can become mayor of New York. It’s the same dynamic you see when someone asks, “How could you vote for Donald Trump?” In both cases, the answer is less about ideology and more about frustration. Many people are struggling to make ends meet, feel ignored by the system, and are desperate for change. That frustration gets channeled into so-called “democratic” pushes or protest votes. Trump’s rhetoric is loudly pro-American but largely dismissive of anyone outside his base, and it shows little genuine concern for everyday people. For many voters, he isn’t a solution at all—just another symbol of a broken system. At this point, they’d vote for a trash can. Unfortunately, that’s the reality of the current American political landscape.
What becomes of New York will be interesting to watch. If someone wants to understand the historical and moral problems with socialism or communism, they should read the John Galt speech in Atlas Shrugged. History has already demonstrated the outcomes of these systems. China is often cited as a counterexample, but even there, one has to question who truly benefits from that “success” and what it says about the moral fabric of a system built on coerced labor and limited freedom.
That brings me to the Democrats, and specifically Tim Walz. I genuinely struggle to understand how he could be re-elected. There are widespread fraud allegations, yet the explanation offered is always the same: if fraud exists, it’s because Trump is a bad actor. It mirrors the reflexive response we hear from figures like Ilhan Omar—ask why fraud exists in your city and the answer becomes an accusation of racism. Democrats position themselves on a moral high ground, having tolerated or ignored fraud for years, and are now scrambling to distance themselves from the consequences of that permissiveness.
An article I recently read about Walz’s re-election campaign crystallized this issue for me. A Democrat voter, Jena Illescas Gomez, a 35-year-old elementary school teacher from a St. Paul suburb, admitted she wasn’t very familiar with the fraud cases but planned to vote for Walz anyway because she “likes what he has accomplished” and believes that “he stands up for things.” That statement is staggering. It reflects a willingness to overlook serious misconduct in favor of vague emotional reassurance. WSJ
At the same time, Walz posts a lighthearted New Year’s running video on social media—a tone-deaf display given the scale of what’s happening. Ignoring the issue may be a strategy, but it’s hard to understand how leadership can be so detached from reality. Would people care if hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money were lost to fraud? Based on the public response so far, it appears many simply don’t.
I understand why people hate Trump (he will always be the other sides argument) but where is everyone’s line? I hate the tariffs. To me that’s forcefully stealing from the common man. But that’s not we knowingly take taxpayers money and give it to Somali fraudsters and act like nothing is wrong. I truly believe the political figures in Minnesota overlooked the fraud in place of votes. You’ll have a hard time convincing me otherwise for a State that changed it’s flag to resemble Somalia.
I finish these posts and it’s like I’m waving from the roof tops saying “something’s wrong”. If Walz condemned the fraud and said we’ll find it and end it, I’d sing a different tune. Yet it’s the same old song and dance of not telling the truth. It’s when you spin a web of lies and they are so complex that you can’t even keep them straight, which is why the truth is always “the way”.
