The hit film, Sound of Freedom, has shattered expectations in theaters. The film follows the true story of Tim Ballard (played by Jim Caviezel) and his efforts to hold child traffickers accountable. The left-wing corporate media is outraged by the film’s success and has done everything they can to discredit both the cast and the storyline.

To get specific, the film has grossed an outstanding $53 million from a $14.5 million budget. On opening day, it actually beat the new Indiana Jones movie in box office ticket sales.

Not only is the story itself engaging, but the message is even more profound. Child trafficking is a real and visible issue, which is why it touches the hearts of parents and families who watch the film. The left, however, is trying to connect the movie with Q-Anon (a theory that is not mentioned at all in the film). Here is what Rolling Stone said of the movie:

“The misconceptions about child trafficking promoted by Sound of Freedom are in many ways compounded by the fact that the film has received widespread acclaim from the far right, particularly proponents of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that a shadowy ring of elites is sexually abusing young children.”

As you would guess, left-wing outrage surrounding the film is only propelling it higher in box office totals.

Watch our team’s review of the movie on Rumble and be sure to see it in theaters while you can. The higher the box office totals go, the more embarrassed Hollywood elites will get.

It appears one of our stories from yesterday struck a nerve.

Transgender State Representative Leigh Finke posted a screenshot of our story criticizing his disdain for the Bible, calling it “quite funny.” Naturally, our team took another opportunity to invite him to discuss his position on The Truth Hurts Show.

In response, the Democrat lawmaker accused our team of spreading “hateful degenerate smears and lies.”

The action for liberty folks have posted the most vile content about me and my community of any place in Minnesota. Truly hateful degenerate smears and lies.

I will pass. https://t.co/fXMxSZdbVP

Naturally, supporters of far-left gender ideology came in to defend Finke and issue threats of violence against me.

Is there a more punchable face than this @Beck4Liberty twatwaffle?

None of us are fazed. Remember, if the opposition resorts to angry tweets – you’re winning the argument.

To Leigh Finke, the offer to come on our show still stands.

Full Democrat control in Minnesota has led us down a dark path towards destruction. There was no need for compromise, debate, or common sense when radical leftists control the Legislature, Executive Branch, courts, and media. Demoncrats checked off every item on their Communist wishlist and there is no end in sight. The Dems didn’t win Minnesota because they are cunning and have great ideas. The Dems won because the MNGOP is totally ineffective and corrupt. 

Corrupt MNGOP Chair David Hann and other goons in the party have done everything they can to silence and muzzle grassroots patriots instead of doing the hard work of winning elections. It is the job and duty of the state Republican party to treat candidates fairly during the endorsement process, support endorsed candidates, push a conservative agenda, win Republican majorities, and pressure Legislators to live up to the promises they made on the campaign trail. Unfortunately, the MNGOP is more concerned with intra-party power grabs than fighting for our liberty.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the leader of a party is responsible for their performance in an election. In this case, we saw unpopular Democrats running for re-election statewide in what was supposed to be a red wave year. Instead of rallying conservatives to unify behind strong messaging, Hann and the MNGOP preferred weak, anti-freedom Republicans over strong conservatives in nearly every district and race. Hann even went as far as cutting off data access for endorsed candidates weeks before the primary simply because they didn’t fit into Hann’s establishment mold. Those candidates included Tom Dippel (Cottage Grove), Mark Bishofsky (Stillwater), Bill Lieske (Lonsdale), Natalie Barnes (Prior Lake) and Bret Bussman (Browerville). The Establishment similarly did this to Jeremy Munson in 2020.  

Following the primary, things did not get much better. During the general election, Hann sent out an email to candidates demanding that they use establishment, “poll-tested” answers as it relates to abortion. Hann even suggests that Minnesota has a Constitutional Right to have abortions! Instead of confronting Demoncrats on their support for late-term/post-birth abortions, Hann wanted candidates to be defensive and play right into the liberals’ hands. Recently, MNGOP puppets locked out 33 patriotic GOP delegates from the Otter Tail County Republican convention! Corrupt actors will stop at no end to feed into their power hungry egos.

Now the MNGOP is flat out broke! It’s long been known that they are pathetic fundraisers (largely due to shutting out grassroots conservative voices) but now we know that they couldn’t be fiscally responsible to save their lives! The MNGOP is $334,000 in debt and only has $53.81 in the bank according to their most recent FEC report! This is the party of fiscal conservatism? Comparatively, the Minnesota Democrats have over $794,000 in the bank and zero debt. 

MNGOP conventions and Republican events statewide are notorious for desperate tactics to squeeze money out of conservatives. Even to be a guest (non-voting member) at their recent State Central Committee meeting cost you $40. When you add all of the convention attendance payments, merchandise sales, small and big donations, and government handouts the party gets, they should be loaded! Perhaps they are at rock bottom because they’ve spent all of their money sending out cheesy and ineffective mailers like the one below:

Or maybe the MNGOP is broke because they’ve been bankrolling a liberal law firm used by the Establishment to target Action 4 Liberty. As we’ve reported, the MNGOP swamp has a wing in the State Senate with their ironically named unit: The Senate Victory Fund (SVF). The SVF is currently weaponizing the state government against Action 4 Liberty for phony allegations. However, the MNGOP paid the same law firm $38,000 (with nearly $28,000 in debt) in 2022 and you can read the report for yourself here. See the disbursement below:

To make matters worse, reporting suggests that the MNGOP has not paid their staff since February! There is zero motivation to make the party strong and competitive because they can't afford to pay talent! Politics is a game that takes money to win and that will never happen when losers lead the party.

The MNGOP is in shambles and David Hann has a proven track record of sinking the ship. Hann attacks conservative candidates, supports unendorsed RINOs, shuns common citizen Patriots, wastes donation money, and loses elections up and down the ticket. If the Republican Party ever wants to be effective and win in Minnesota, it starts at the top. Look to the leaders who failed us and gave us complete Democratic control for blame. The failures of the MNGOP rests solely on David Hann and the Establishment’s lap.

Transgender Democrat State Representative Leigh Finke has gone on another Twitter tirade, this time focusing on the teaching of the Christian Bible in public schools. He even goes as far as saying that “it’s actually unconstitutional to teach the Bible in school.”

Finke posted his views about Christianity and the Bible in a series of tweets on Thursday, reacting to an Oklahoma Superintendent's comments in support of Christian teaching.

“We want to the Bible in schools so students can understand our history and what made this country great.”

Putting aside the unconstitutional nature of teaching the Bible in school, American history is NOT IN THE BIBLE. American history is not biblical. https://t.co/FlwY6Kunlh

— Leigh Finke (@leighfinke) July 13, 2023

There are countless reasons that the Bible should (and is) taught in public schools. Several religions are taught in schools, because they all play a critical role in world history. There is nothing “unconstitutional” about providing historical context.

And though he will never admit it, Finke has long advocated for religious teaching in schools. His insistence on LGBTQ education is almost a religion of its own, which worships sexual identity and self gratification.

Finke’s god is LGBTQ ideology.

He has written a variety of books about children and transgender ideology. Including the infamous Queerfuly and Wonderfully Made, which encourages Christian teenagers to engage in sexual self-satisfaction, regardless of who or how that comes about.

If Finke wants religious books banned in schools, we can all start by ensuring his books are taken out of every public library.

A whistleblower testified to the House Judiciary Committee on Monday that the FBI is ignoring the recent Missouri v. Biden court ruling. This decision, made by US District Judge Terry Doughty, prohibits the Federal Government from working with social media companies to censor speech.

This comes after the Biden administration actually sought a stay on this decision while it is appealed, which was denied. Implying that the White House had plans to continue their work with social media companies to censor speech.

Our team wrote about the ruling earlier this week, which appeared to be a huge win for free speech advocates. Supposedly, the FBI has no plans in place to enforce the ruling.

The Washington Times states that no bureau-wide emails went out informing agents of the court ruling, implying that business as usual will ensue. That means that agents will continue to meet with big tech CEOs like Mark Zuckerburg to censor speech that goes against the mainstream narrative.

As you probably know well, any criticism of COVID-19, vaccines, masks, or the 2020 election will earn you bans on several big tech platforms. The fact that no steps have been taken to enforce Judge Doughty’s decision should alarm the American people.

If government agencies openly disobey the Constitution, we no longer have a lawful and orderly country.

Minnesota was ground zero for the “defund the police” movement sparked by the 2020 BLM riots. It gained the support of prominent politicians like Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison. Police recruitment numbers in Minneapolis have dropped drastically since then, thanks to the help of both the local and national political environments.

Last June, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that the city must lawfully provide funding for a minimum of 731 police officers. As it stands, Minneapolis Police Department has just under 500 officers on staff. The lack of officers willing to serve likely comes from a variety of issues, chief among them the intense scrutiny coming from the Biden administration.

Now, the city of Minneapolis has laid out its “Minneapolis Safe and Thriving Communities Report and Plan” for the future of policing. True to the calls from BLM, the report focuses on hiring social workers to respond to calls, rather than making conditions better for officers.

For example, this plan calls for civilian “domestic violence advocates” to respond to domestic violence disputes (pg 62). The report also recommends “civilian investigators and/or advocates” for sexual assault crimes (pg 63). You can read all the provisions in the report here.

There is certainly a place for volunteers and non-police officers for the good of public service, but putting them in harm’s way is not a productive use of the city’s resources or time. Government exists to protect the rights of the people, which includes the right to be free from dangerous and armed criminals.

If you live in or near the city of Minneapolis, there is a good chance you should be ready to protect yourself and your family. While you still can, consider getting a concealed carry permit and purchase a firearm. If the government will not protect you, you must protect yourself.

In Minnesota, everything is backwards; Men can be women. Criminals are heroes. Police are the enemy. Pedophiles are misunderstood and children can’t drive or drink but they can have their bodies mutilated. Now, unconstitutional and tyrannical orders by a power-hungry Governor are Constitutional and perfectly legal.

Mask mandates were measures implemented to control the public and force compliance during the pandemic. In March of 2020, Walz began the Peacetime Emergency powers which the courts have apparently viewed as all encompassing powers. Legislature be damned! 

As we’ve reported, masks are ineffective and did nothing to stop or slow the spread of Covid. While N95 masks are useful in surgical settings, there is zero evidence that widespread use by the public yielded any positive benefits. Cloth masks were nothing more than a joke and this has even been admitted by Dr. Fauci in leaked emails. In addition, many individuals faced respiratory issues with masking and children’s learning went down the tube without the knowledge acquired through interpreting facial expressions.

Of course, utility is not the main issue with masks or mask mandates. The real issue is that no person, or even a Governor, has the authority to unilaterally mandate masking for the general public on both public and private land. Walz had no concern for struggling business owners during Covid and strictly enforced his edicts. Citizens across our state had their natural rights infringed.

The Upper Midwest Law Center sued Walz and correctly argued that the mask mandates were unconstitutional but the MN Court of Appeals rejected any shred of truth from their courtroom. Under state law, Peacetime Emergency Powers are only to be implemented when a pandemic or similar occurrence is an “act of nature”. However, the Upper Midwest Law Center pointed out that Covid is not an “act of nature” because its origin is likely to be man-made and created in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Minnesota needs a serious wake up call because if tyranny is Constitutional then the grass is blue. We live in a bizarre time where politicians try to gaslight us into believing the exact opposite of the truth! Despite Patriots knowing the truth the entire time, the MN Court of Appeals is setting precedent by granting authority to any future Governor to shut down our state, force us to wear masks, and be coerced into getting an experimental shot. 

This court decision proves that legislators MUST pass the Never Again Bill so a Governor has no legal authority to infringe on our rights or unilaterally declare an emergency.

Minnesota’s $21 Billion Surplus was the largest in our state’s history. This stockpile of money was our overtaxed dollars that were not appropriated in the previous biennial budget. Any unused dollars after the passage of that budget is money that is directly owed back to taxpayers.

With the massive surplus, each taxpayer could have been given $8,000 a piece, but greedy politicians wouldn’t allow that. Before the Legislative session, Tim Walz was still campaigning for re-election and promised to give $1,000 to taxpayers! 

The Legislature decided to spend almost all of it and give their constituents the crumbs. Each taxpayer is set to receive $260 for themself and for up to three dependents. 

The question now is: When am I finally going to get my hard-earned money back?

The government stole our money and we have very little information about the status. After giving the Department of Revenue a call, we discovered that they plan to send out Surplus returns “early fall of 2023” which is about as broad of an answer as they could’ve given. They said that we can expect to see a press release and the returns will take place quickly afterward. Payments will be deposited into bank accounts or mailed to the tax filing address.

The amount of time this has taken is completely ridiculous. Our corrupt government never had any time issues when funding the fraudulent ‘Feeding Our Future’ scam or any of their lobbyist/special interest projects. But for whatever reason, they are dragging their feet in returning the money taxpayers are duly owed.

Perhaps one reason the Department of Revenue is slow to return our money is the recent uncovering of fraud as we reported. This fraud amounting to $352 Million within the omnibus tax bill that reverts tax cuts down to 2019 levels. This causes taxpayers, on average, to have an increase in their taxes by $210 and a loss of $1,000 in tax deductions! Maybe they are running low on funds and are getting nervous!

Action 4 Liberty has been the only group in Minnesota that has consistently called for the return of the entire Surplus and to not spend a dime of it. The Legislature wasted our money, Walz supported it in lockstep, and now the Department of Revenue is stalling. We deserve our money back and DEMAND it now!

Democrat State Representative Dan Wolgamott (DFL - St Cloud) was arrested on Friday night for driving while intoxicated. Police were alerted to a gentleman drinking in a liquor store parking lot, and a vehicle matching the description of his was observed "weaving" later on and pulled over by state troopers. The vehicle also had expired tabs. Democrats just increased license tab fees, so apparently that was too costly for the 32 legislator to afford.

What makes this politicians' arrest more interesting is that the crony Minnesota Police & Peace Officers Association (MPPOA) just recently awarded Rep Dan Wolgamott with their "Legislator of the Year" award. 

We reported back in May that MPPOA supported the radical leftwing gun control legislation that Democrats like Wolgamott passed into law in the end of the legislative session. MPPOA also endorsed Democrat Rep Angie Craig who has long held anti-gun, anti-freedom positions.

In June, MPPOA Executive Director Brian Peters wrote, “Representative Wolgamott is a true friend and supporter of law enforcement and increased public safety. He has been the chief bill author on many proposals for safer, stronger communities." 

Drunk driving is a disgraceful activity, but it looks like Rep Dan Wolgamott wasn't feeling remorse in his booking photo:

Wolgamott was an important vote needed to stop the radical metro democrat agenda, but he followed their leadership and voted for extreme abortion laws, genital mutilation surgeries for minors, gun control, tax increases, and during COVID, he continued to allow Governor Walz to declare unilateral emergency powers.

Since the Legislature adjourned, a big sigh of relief came across Minnesotans because we knew that they could pass no more bills this year designed to destroy our state. The latest session was the ultimate sign of what complete Democrat control can do to a great state. Nearly every piece of legislation was a slap in the face to Minnesota citizens and now the tax bill is adding insult to injury.

The “One Minnesota Budget” clearly shows us that there are two Minnesotas, one for the average citizen trying to make ends meet and one for the ruling elitists who want to strip us of every dollar we have. The Democrat's tax bill has a massive “error” that will result in Minnesotans losing out on around $1,000 in tax deductions and having a tax increase of $210 each! The fake mainstream media and Democrats have been quick to play cover and suggest that this was just an error. However, it is difficult to take anything they have to say at face value after they stole nearly every penny of our Surplus!

Hidden inside of this bill is a provision that reverts our tax deductions to 2019 levels. As the bill worked its way through the corrupt Conference Committee process, the standard deduction rates were not matched with inflationary adjustments. Especially since our country has fallen into the lap of Dementia Joe Biden, inflation has been out of control and has drastically changed the value of the dollar. This tax increase and removal of deductions are expected to hit 93% of Minnesotans.

Despite Minnesotans’ pockets running thin, the government is always looking for more money. No budget or spending will ever be enough for crony politicians so there is reason to question if this was truly a mistake. Former fake moderate Democrat Representative, Paul Marquart, who now heads the MN Revenue Department, said “A lot of eyes looked at it, including mine, and it just wasn’t caught.” 

Further blame belongs to the Democrat leaders for the Tax conference committee, Rep. Aisha Gomez (D-62A) and Sen. Ann "Put Me to" Rest (D-SD43). Despite the responsibility being on all committee members (and members of the Legislature generally) the ultimate guilty parties are Rest and Gomez for pushing a bad bill that they didn’t even read! 

Career politician Ann Rest even said that the Democrats seems “to have an insatiable appetite for raising taxes”! Rest will be holding “Saturday Listening Sessions” on July 29th and August 19th at 11AM. More details to come. Perhaps some constituents will want to raise this important issue and ask her if this was corruption or stupidity.

This problem can be fixed by the Legislature when they start the 2024 session but will the Dems want to? As mentioned, they will happily strip you of your last dollar and not think twice. They can label this incident as a mistake all they want, however, pressure must be mounted until this is fixed.

Minnesota is going down the drain and taxpayers are getting screwed over. We must be vigilant and unafraid to challenge the powers that be. The Establishment in our state will nickel and dime us until Patriots stand up and fight. It is up to common citizens like you and I to save our state because the Swamp won’t drain itself!
