WEEKLY UPDATE: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigns; Walz was a no-show at a Fort Snelling Memorial Day ceremony; a former Minnesota DHS employee reveals yet another kind of suspected Somali fraud, and more.

@amyklobuchar Education Minnesota is hands down the most despicable special interest in Minnesota.

The only organization I saw advocate AGAINST school safety funding.

This is an indictment, not and endorsement.

Senators @EricLucero and @MichaelH_MN call it a failure.

They're right.

But the 'failure' isn't corrupt legislators — it's a structure that makes omnibus bills inevitable.

I explain the forces that produce this result every session. Most will initially balk at the fix. 👇

Mike Rowe had his mother, best selling author Peggy Rowe on his recent podcast.

After her daily morning swim, Peggy saw a woman's backside in the locker room. She had an unusual tattoo on her rear-end, so Peggy asked her about it.

You won't believe what it was. 😂

A proven solution to "gun violence" and "school safety" has been introduced in the #mnleg for the past 3 years.

Some Democrats and even Moms Demand Action activists saw the value.

But their leash was yanked, because we can't have solutions that get in the way of Dem power. 👇

Dave: “Hello, caller, you are on the air.”

Caller: “I don’t think billionaires create value.”

Dave: “Okay. What do you mean by that?”

Caller: “Nobody can earn a billion dollars ethically.”

Dave: “Alright. What do you do for a living?”

Caller: “Well, before this, I was a bartender.”

Dave: “Nothing wrong with bartending. Honest work.”

Caller: “Right.”

Dave: “And now?”

Caller: “I work in government.”

Dave: “Okay. So let me get this straight. You're saying Elon Musk, who helped build PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, has made innovations like online payments, electric cars, rockets, and satellite internet possible, didn't earn his way to being a billionaire?"

Caller: “None of that justifies being a billionaire.”

Dave: “Well, sure sounds like value got created somewhere along the line.”

Caller: “I disagree.”

Dave: “What exactly did you build?”

Caller: “I advocate for economic justice.”

Dave: “No ma’am, I mean actual products.”

Caller: “…”

Dave: “You’re telling me the guy catching rockets mid-air created less value than a person who used to serve mojitos and now votes on spending his tax dollars?”

Caller: “That’s unfair.”

Dave: “What’s unfair is pretending markets are imaginary while cashing a government paycheck funded by the businesses you claim don’t create value.”

Caller: “I’m actually a congresswoman.”

Dave: “Oh Lord. Of course!"

Elon Musk on the regulatory absurdity of launching Starship:

Elon explains that before SpaceX could launch Starship, regulators required them to study whether the rocket would hit a shark in the Pacific Ocean.

"It's a big ocean. There's a lot of sharks. It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely."

When SpaceX agreed to do the analysis, they hit a wall. Elon recounts the exchange:

"We said okay fine, we'll do the analysis. And then, well, can you give us the shark data? They're like, no, we can't give you the shark data."

The reasoning behind the refusal left him stunned:

"They were worried about the shark density data, like the people who are hunting sharks for shark fins somehow getting their hands on this shark data… Am I in a comedy sketch here?"

Eventually they got the data, ran the analysis, and confirmed the sharks would be fine. But the saga didn't end there.

"Then we thought, okay now we're done. They said, but what about whales?"

Elon's response captures his disbelief:

"When you look at a picture of the Pacific, what percentage of the surface area of the Pacific do you see as whale? I don't see any. Where's a whale?"

He jokes that if Starship somehow did hit a whale:

"Honestly, that whale had it coming, because the odds are so low. It's like Final Destination: the whale edition. Fate had it in for that whale."

After clearing the whale analysis, regulators raised yet another scenario:

"Well, what if the rocket goes underwater then explodes and then the whales have hearing damage? And we're like, look, if we could make a rocket go underwater and be a submarine, that would be a feat of physics we could not accomplish."

Elon sums up his frustration:

"It's just one crazy thing after another. This is why I'm really feeling the pain of the overregulation."

I’ll never “unsee” what this guy pointed out about Minnesota’s new state flag. 😂🫣

He’s not wrong about how the flag looks like it could be a flag in Somalia.

However, if you hang it vertically, things get even weirder. I’m not surprised given what we know about Tampon Tim. 🤣 Maybe it was intentional.

Just watch the video and you’ll see. 👇🏼

Tim Walz announced this will be his final State of the State address, drawing applause from Republicans.

He responds, “But the things we implemented will be here for decades.”

His legacy:

- Driver’s licenses for illegals
- Abortion up to the moment of birth
- Tampons in boys’ bathrooms
- Legalized child mutilation
- Desecration of our state flag
- Billions lost to fraud scandals
- The largest tax increase in state history

Time to turn the page and start reversing this insanity in November.

[America First Policy Institute State Action @a1states]

Minnesota’s report card under @GovTimWalz is in.

📉 Reading down
📉 Math down
⬇️ Education ranking sliding
⬆️ Unemployment up
⬇️ Income down
📉 Personal income below U.S. average
📦 48,000 residents gone
⬆️ Violent crime up
💸 Billions lost to fraud

When outcomes keep moving the wrong direction, leadership should reassess priorities.

Minnesotans deserve safe streets, strong schools, growing paychecks, and accountable government.
Results matter. 🇺🇸

You can’t possibly share this smackdown enough.

You have been suing, not sharing. But while you’re in a sharing mood, please do share:

-SNAP enrollment data so we can find the people stealing food from needy families in your state.
-Voter rolls so we can ensure no dead people and only American citizens are voting in your elections.
-Access to all criminal aliens in your jails and prisons, so we can protect your streets from violent crime.

Important to remember that none of the fraud being exposed to this level would have been possible without David. He investigated this on his own for years, and we exposed the fraud together.

David is a patriot in the truest form. He doesn’t care about the recognition; he just wanted to help his country 🫡

A lot can be leared from David’s example and hopefully inspire others to make a difference in their own neighborhood.

Just a really weird update concerning Aimee Bock, the former executive director of Feeding our Future — the $300 million fraud scheme

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

The White House Corespondents stealing the wine at their dinner reminds me of a similar experience.

In the summer of 1997, Bill Clinton visited Denmark. We landed on AF-1 in Copenhagen, boarded Marine One for a night time tour of the coast en route to Kronborg Castle, for Shakespeare the “home of Hamlet.” We landed at around midnight and were welcomed with open arms by the queen and her staff. Beautiful, historic castle. I was put up in the Scottish Military suite. Beautiful room with a fully appointed spread of meats, cheeses, breads, fruit, and a full bar. All served, of course, with fine china and crystal. I made sure POTUS was down for the evening and went to bed.

The next morning, the queen had a breakfast spread for Clinton and the staff. Again, first class. As we headed to the motorcade to leave for an event and the flight home, I was pulled aside by the Danish military aide. “Buzz, we have a problem. Your staff stole the china and crystal from their rooms. And took other things as well.”

I was stunned and chagrined. I apologized profusely and told him I’d handle it.

I talked with the White House chief of staff and told him what had happened. He shrugged his shoulders. No apology. Nobody held accountable. No repayment. Just another day in the Clinton White House and a group of Ugly Americans.
