Over the weekend and into Monday afternoon, there was an interesting flurry of news reports indicating that Tim Walz’s political career might be ending even sooner than we thought…   ? BOMBSHELL: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is set to resign within the next week, according to multiple reports from within the Walz campaign. pic.twitter.com/plbqZsg73P — TalkRadio 77 WABC (@77WABCradio) January 11, 2026 Tim Walz to RESIGN from Office After Somali Scandal, Newsom in PANIC Over Our Fraud Investigation… https://t.co/cpoUy6oWrE — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 12, 2026 It seems that Walz is being thrown under the bus by his own party, something which carries not just great entertainment value but also the prospect of an interesting lesson… Jacob Frey after months of Democrats claiming there’s no fraud: “Everybody could have done more to prevent fraud. The fraud is real. The fraud is very real.” Ohpic.twitter.com/iLiblzJMEP — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) January 12, 2026 This would all put us back to where we were a week ago, before a deranged woman decided to block a street to prevent ICE from transporting an arrested illegal alien to a detention center, and, when ICE officers moved in to arrest her, drove at one of them. His reaction was to neutralize the threat to his person that the moving vehicle presented, and the result was a bullet to the head of Renee Good. (RELATED: When Law Enforcement Becomes Political) Who the American Left instantly committed to creating as White Girl George Floyd. (RELATED: Who Gets Canonized — And Who Gets Condemned?) Look, it’s a bad thing that this woman died last Wednesday. Nobody is or should be happy about it. But just like in the case of St. George of Fentanyl, Renee Good is dead because of Renee Good. And effectively, thanks to the Democratic Farm/Labor Party of Minnesota’s exploits, she sacrificed herself so that Tim Walz and the rest of that party’s political class could buy a distraction from the multi-billion dollar Somali welfare fraud scandals that were eating them alive both inside and outside that state. (RELATED: Five Quick Things: Minnesota Goes to Hell (Again)) Did it work? Not really. ICE has now flooded officers into Minneapolis in response to Walz’s threats to call out the Minnesota National Guard in order to “protect” his state’s “citizenry” from federal law enforcement officials. It doesn’t look like Walz is offering much in the way of a muscular response. What he’s offering is a… lawsuit. BREAKING: In a DESPERATE attempt to stop ICE and DHS from deporting their new voter base, Minnesota has just announced a lawsuit against the feds. He is following in Tampon Tim’s footsteps and called DHS activity a “FEDERAL INVASION OF MINNEAPOLIS.” He let the INVADERS INVADE… pic.twitter.com/4eguRsZ4Yn — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) January 12, 2026 There are protesters in the streets in Minneapolis, and it has certainly gotten weird there, but it’s nothing like the Floyd riots. It turns out that the Left can’t bring itself to true hard-core violence unless there’s a racial angle, which is a terrible commentary on who they are, but also a hopeful sign, in that some of their most long-time loyal supporters seem to be getting tired of the old tactics. (RELATED: The Moral Blackmailing of the American People) That the people willing to riot for Floyd, a career criminal who once held a knife to a pregnant woman’s belly in a fit of rage and threatened a double murder, won’t riot for Renee Good gives you an indication of where middle-class white women, even if they’re lesbians of recent vintage, truly sit on the intersectional totem pole — the answer being “not quite so high.” And no amount of apology for white privilege will buy the loyalty of the woke communists — or at least it doesn’t quite get you arson at federal courthouses or bloody mayhem outside tire stores. Everyone else is watching and scowling. And the Somali fraud scandal just grows and grows… U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was told over the weekend that a new Nick Shirley video being released soon — maybe even as early as Monday — is “ten times worse” than the “Quality Learing Center” daycare scam. In Shirley’s previous video, he and his source, David Hoch, who has been investigating this billion-dollar-plus scam for years, discovered multiple daycare centers in one building without children in them for years. And this is where Hoch says is the heart of the ongoing continuing criminal enterprise. Hoch says the new video will show that most of these companies are Somali-owned, and his and Shirley’s visit to these companies found zero companies. “What I believe is the core of all this is this non-emergency medical transportation. A search showed that Minnesota recognizes 1,020 NEMT [Non-Emergency Medical Transport] companies. Almost 900 of them are Somali-owned,” he told Bessent. Hoch went on, “In the second video, Nick Shirley and I went to 16 of them — I’ve actually been to about 70 of them.” At this point, he held up his papers and leaned forward to Bessent to emphasize, “THEY DON’T EXIST.” They visited the NEMT companies to find the addresses went to places with “no vehicles.” Fronts included, “an apartment building. One of them is a liquor store. Another one is a wire transfer. Another one is  totally unrelated — it’s a grocery store. There are no vehicles.” He said, “The vast majority of these companies exist on paper only. They are not real.” He said that the average NEMT company in the United States has about “20 vehicles and each vehicle generates about $70,000 a year.” He said that if you run those numbers, “800 companies, 20 vehicles, $70,000 a year? It’s an enormous sum of money that’s going out.” Americans have been through too much in the past six years to be raised to hysteria over Good’s death. She doesn’t turn out to be a very sympathetic plaintiff, even post-mortem, and as the country is informed — grudgingly, and not with the participation of the legacy propaganda press — that she was part of an organized cabal of left-wing termagants trained to use their vehicles as weapons against federal law enforcement officers in order to protect illegal aliens from deportation, the case gets harder to make. (RELATED: The Media Are Agents of Propaganda) The country is looking for prosperity. It’s looking for cultural renewal. It wants the illegals to go home and the radical leftists to shut up. And at the end of the day, when it looks at Minnesota, what it has to say is not “we stand with Renee” but rather “where did all of our money go?” Walz and Frey and Minnesota’s gangster attorney general, Keith Ellison, who never paid a price for organizing a kangaroo court for Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the wake of Floyd’s death, don’t have a good answer for that. All they have is a promise to eventually close the barn door now that the horses are gone. (RELATED: Chauvin Trial Judge Amplifies the Obvious Injustice) But that isn’t good enough. Republicans in Minnesota, who are generally speaking a very hapless lot but very often come a lot closer to winning elections there than they get credit for, finally see an opening to punching through and turning the state purple if not red. That would be a good result from the foolishness, horror, and rebellion we’ve seen in that state. If ever there was a party whose politicians deserved a very swift kick in the ass from the voting public, it’s the Minnesota Democrats. Renee Good doesn’t seem to be an antidote to that. Unlike with Floyd, this time the federal law enforcement officers are running into the melee the Left is ginning up.
