The National Governors Association and a group called Results for America recognized Minnesota's state government as a leader in using "evidence and data to guide decision-making." I guess everyone really does get a trophy these days!

What an insult to Minnesotans who have seen the lack of evidence being used to guide decision making of the biggest decisions under Walz' tenure. Walz infamously, and illegally, shut down Minnesota's economy and locked us in our homes despite no evidence suggesting it would stop COVID. Ever since the rollout of the experimental jabs, Walz has pushed for citizens to roll up their sleeves even though there was evidence available to suggest the vaccines had adverse effects and don't stop the spread of COVID.

Once Democrats took over the entire state government in 2023, key decisions were made that impacted our lives that were clearly not evidence based. For instance, Walz signed into law a bill that requires all of Minnesota's power to be produced by renewable sources by the year 2040. There's no evidence that that monstrous transition will do anything to change temperatures in Minnesota or the rest of the world.

Even more alarming, Walz and Democrats passed a bill that allows children as young as 6 to be given hormone treatments or genital mutilation surgery against the wishes of a parent. They passed this law with growing evidence that subjecting a child to gender treatments has a devastating impact when they get older and no longer identify with the opposite gender. 

If anything, Walz and his cohorts in the state government should be given the award for "Governing by Emotions;" not for leading by evidence based decision-making. What a joke!

In his first real test as Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson resorted to the old tactics of kicking the can down the road to address our country's looming debt problem. Last night, his Continuing Resolution (CR) garnered support from nearly all Democrats and a slim majority of Republicans. 

Think for a second - what kind of conservative leadership gains support of the radicalized Congressional Democrats??? It's very obvious that Johnson's Continuing Resolution does nothing to limit the size and scope of the behemoth federal government.

What H.R. 6363 does do is fund the bloated federal government at the same unsustainable levels until early next year. The I.R.S. is still fully funded. Planned Parenthood continues getting our tax money. And every other objectionable, fraudulent or unconstitutional program is still getting federal funding.

We're currently running a whopping $1.7 Trillion budget deficit, which is being financed by more money printing. This is a HUGE PROBLEM! Here's why...

Congress' reckless spending is having a devastating affect on American families. The rising prices of consumer goods is a direct result of the federal government adding trillions upon trillions of dollars in new debt in the last three years. The Federal Reserve has purchased that debt with newly printed money, which causes inflation and is an indirect tax on you and me.

We knew this money printing operation was going to lead to higher prices and wrote about it on March 18th, 2020. 

Failing to balance a budget and running massive budget deficits have REAL consequences for American households. Democrats do not care at all about this problem, even though this policy most adversely impacts the poor and elderly. The latter are on fixed income and can't keep up with inflation. 

This problem isn't just some manufactured right wing conspiracy, as the elitists will have you believe. Moody's just downgraded the credit rating of the United States from "stable" to "negative!"

Johnson's CR had 93 Republicans voting against it. Some of the most vocal conservative members of the Freedom Caucus criticized the bill because it contained "no spending reductions, no border security, and not a single meaningful win for the American people."

There is a solution, but the attitudes in Washington D.C. MUST CHANGE rapidly. Our federal government has to be cut, and not by a little, but by a lot. Balancing the budget would stop the future debt load that is costing us nearly a trillion dollars a year to finance. That's bigger than our entire military spending! The reduction of government would likely unleash huge economic growth and lead to higher revenues that would help pay down the debt with budget surpluses.

If we don't fix this issue now, we're heading for a situation where the financing of our debt will lead to either a default or an unsustainable money printing operation that will lead to hyperinflation. Neither option is good.

It's time to put America First!

A competitive primary race has emerged for Minnesota's deep red 7th Congressional District. Business owner Steve Boyd launched his campaign recently to a crowd of 200 gatherers in Alexandria. 

He's seeking the seat currently held by Rep Michelle Fischbach, who first won it in 2020. Although claiming to be a conservative, Fischbach has been a career politician and voted for countless unconstitutional omnibus bills while serving in the MN Senate. Her lifetime score with us was an F (50%).

In his press release, Boyd argues that we don't need politicians in Washington D.C. voting for "business as usual." I had a chance to chat with Steve Boyd to learn more about his run for Congress.

Boyd told me his campaign will have a "difference in focus" than Fischbach's. "There’s been business as usual, go along to get along, we have to have people who are willing to choose principle over party, over politics, and address the more pressing issues" said Boyd.

Steve Boyd is a small business owner, doing lawn maintenance and fertilizing in the Alexandria area. He's married and has five children, including three who were adopted. Those adoptions led him to working with a non-profit called Safe Families for Children.

He's also a "constitution coach" for Patriot Academy that teaches youth about our founding principles. Which seems to be a good fit for Boyd, a patriotic, Christian who homeschools his children. 

Boyd see this campaign as an opportunity to be a "liberty catalyst" for the 7th District. "I’m not going out asking for money and a vote, we’re going to be asking people to step into a committed role of citizenship" said Boyd. "I won’t go around promising that I alone can change everything for them as a Congressman. We need people taking the power back in their hands so the politicians don't have it."

Grassroots conservatives undoubtedly want a fair primary system by the Republican Party, instead of backroom deals and rigged rules. Our own MAGA Jesse recently reported how the RNC rigged the debates against Perry Johnson and Larry Elder. Now it appears RNC Chairwoman, and niece of Mitt Romney, Ronna McDaniel is doing her best to stop the surge of outsider Vivek Ramaswamy. 

In his opening remarks on Wednesday night's third GOP debate, Vivek called for the resignation of McDaniel. Recent interviews with Ramaswamy has given us a closer look into the reason for that statement. He alleges she not only has a record of losing since her tenure began in 2017, but she's also rigging the primary for the donor class' preferred candidates. 

One example offered by Ramaswamy is that he was told he wouldn't be allowed to attend a debate if he did a non-RNC sanctioned forum with Chris Christie on Fox News. Yet, Ron DeSantis is scheduled to debate Gavin Newsom on Fox News later this month outside of the RNC sanctioned debates.

Following the debate, Ronna McDaniel went on Fox Business and lied about Vivek voting for Barack Obama - a statement that certainly would make many in the GOP question Vivek's conservative bonafides if true. 

According to Vivek, Ronna was booing him during the debate which he equated to a ref choosing sides in a game. Her job is to stay neutral.

TimCast reports that McDaniel was overheard saying Vivek won't get "one cent" from the RNC.

We have a breakdown of the third debate below and how Vivek did a great job exposing the WWIII warmongers on the stage.

The Minnesota Supreme Court just dismissed the petition to remove Donald trump from the primary ballot in Minnesota. We wrote last week about the court hearing and the questionable legal representation on the Trump side by the Secretary of State and MNGOP.

This case focused on the 14th Amendment's language that bars someone from holding office who engaged in an insurrection. The subjectivity of that issue complicated the Supreme Court's ability to make a ruling, which would ultimately end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Also, the Court's opinion is that the law does not preclude a political party from nominating someone in their internal primary who is ineligible.  

Despite this good news, the justices allowed this case to be brought back up when dealing with the general election ballot. If they were to rule on that matter in favor of barring Trump to be on the ballot, Trump would only be able to win by a successful write-in campaign. 

Duluth voters overwhelmingly rejected two term mayor Emily Larson, choosing former state senator Roger Reinert over her by 20 points. Larson had the who's who of endorsements from local legislators all the way up to Governor Tim Walz. She even had the endorsement of the typical Democrat organizational web.

Larson made headlines many times in her tenure as mayor, constantly moving the needle of Duluth's government further to the left. She instituted a useless mask mandate in the city as recently as 2022. Larson increased city taxes, hurting residents and the business community and making the city unaffordable for younger families. Plus, many viewed her failures to address the growing homeless problem as a reason to go a different direction.

With 100% of precincts reporting, Reinert won the election by 5,802 votes. Larson has conceded.

Education MN, the teachers union representing public school teachers throughout Minnesota, has been tweeting non-stop today about the pivotal school board elections. In the past, they ran a monopoly on school board elections as conservatives usually focused on bigger elections in the even numbered years. But recent hot button issues have brought energy to the previous overlooked elections, and the Minnesota Parents Alliance has organized very well to counter the leftist monopoly. 

Many of today's tweets focused on the LGBT agenda, with the union reposting a call to vote by an organization called Gender Justice. Gender Justice openly advocates for boys competing in women's sports and genital mutilation surgeries for minors.

Education MN also took a page out of the Democrat playbook of complaining how Republicans want to ban books. Of course, these so called "book bans" are advocated by parents concerned about sexually explicit material for their young children and indoctrination of the radical trans movement. We reported how Muslim families are some of the loudest voices in Minnesota for removing these books from the curriculum. 

Here's a tweet from the President of Education MN accusing pro-children candidates of "spreading conspiracy theories":

We'll have a break down of how your local school board race went on Wednesday morning. 

The Minnesota Supreme Court will listen to oral arguments on Thursday morning at 10 am regarding the case to remove Donald Trump from the ballot. This case focuses on a ludicrous legal argument that Trump is ineligible based on the 14th Amendment's language which bars someone from holding public office who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion."

This is sketchy legal territory, but that's not stopping the Never Trump RINOs and leftists from robbing Minnesota voters of their chance to vote for Trump. Currently, Trump has more donations from Minnesotans than the sitting president. He's also leading Biden in most polls.

The case against Trump is spearheaded by a group called "Free Speech of People," and their lawyer, Ronald Fein, will have 35 minutes to argue his case to the liberal court. Justices will then hear from what's considered the opposing counsel, but in this case, it seems like a massive hit job.

Trumps' campaign will be represented by Nicholas H. Nelson. He will have 20 minutes for arguments. Then, the Secretary of States' representation will have 10 minutes. The counsel appointed to this case is leftist Nathan Hartshorn. Hartshorn works for Attorney General Keith Ellison and is the lawyer who the weaponized Walz-appointed Campaign Finance Board uses to come after groups like us in court. We've had to face this guy before. He's NOT on Trump's side.

The MNGOP also hired Action 4 Liberty hater, and the guy behind filing a ficticious campaign finance board complaint against us, Reid Lebeau. He'll have a total of 5 minutes to argue. We documented his shady past and affiliations.

Our very own MAGA Jesse will be at the court tomorrow and will be joining us afterwards on the Truth Hurts Show to discuss.

President Biden is visiting a farm in Northfield, Minnesota today to advocate for more investment in "climate smart" agricultural funding. When asked by the press why the White House picked Minnesota, AG Secretary stated "there are obviously a lot of folks in Minnesota that understand and appreciate climate smart agriculture." Although most see the trip as a play against his most notable primary challenger, Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips.

A trip to a humble little farm alone is not worth firing up the massive carbon footprint of Air Force One though. Biden will be attending a $50,000/plate fundraising event in the evening. 

Here's a surprise...MinnPost ran the numbers on fundraising for Biden and Trump in Minnesota, and it turns out Trump has the advantage. Minnesotans have donated $581,838 to Trump's 2024 bid, while Biden has only raised $388,517 from donors in the state. With tonight's high dollar event, look for those numbers to even out. 

When it comes to donations to all Republican candidates, Minnesotans have donated $1.3 Million.

The very well respected radio broadcaster Larry Elder and Michigan businessman Perry Johnson have suspended their presidential campaigns in the last week. Elder and Johnson each chose to endorse President Donald J. Trump for re-election. This comes after the RNC was caught rigging this race on behalf of Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, and Ron DeSantis. We exposed this over two months ago on our show, The Truth Hurts.

Larry Elder has been on our television screens and radios for decades and has proven to be a hardcore conservative who will go to bat for our freedom. Elder’s run for California Governor in the recall election of tyrant Gavin Newsom made him a hero to the anti-lockdown movement. Despite the recall failing, Elder won the candidate vote by nearly 40 points against 52 others! He has gone to battle with crazy leftists like The Breakfast Club and pushed the message of freedom his entire career.

Perry Johnson is the “Quality Guru” who has written quality standards published and applied internationally and he is a top expert in efficient business practices. Johnson is a very successful businessman worth over $100 million who fought the lockdowns and covid mandates by running against radical Gretchen Whitmer. However, Johnson and four other GOP candidates were defrauded by scam artist petitioners and kept off the ballot. For President, Johnson self-funded his own campaign so he couldn’t be bought and sold his campaign gear for a net loss.

Johnson and Elder eventually became threats to the corrupt leadership of the RNC so action had to be taken to stop their momentum. The RNC created the debate qualification criteria (eerily similar to the DNC’s 2020 criteria) which forced polls to only be conducted by the lying corporate media. Oftentimes, these polls would not even mention Elder or Johnson’s name and seemed to be intentionally designed to keep these MAGA candidates off the stage. See the first debate qualification rules below:

Elder is a nationally known figure with name recognition surpassing many of the candidates yet he was not allowed to participate in the GOP debates. After Elder sent in his qualifying polls to the RNC, Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel disqualified the Rasmussen poll he submitted by falsely claiming it was linked to the Trump campaign. This was a blatant lie that Elder immediately stood up to by suing the RNC and debate host Fox News for up to $400 million for the lost air time. The RNC then blacklisted Larry Elder from the debate venue and gave security a document listing Elder’s campaign as banned from the building, see below: 

Elder understood how the establishment was afraid of his voice so he stated that the RNC was rigging the debates for Ron DeSantis. It was in DeSanctimonious’ best interests to keep MAGA candidates off the stage so his support could be consolidated. Works in theory, not in practice. Being in the debates was a necessity for every candidate besides Trump so the RNC effectively shut down any chance for Elder and Johnson.

Perry Johnson was told that he qualified for the first debate and NBC and Politico confirmed this. Johnson even participated in a walk-through the day before the debate that the RNC invited him to! Then, the RNC ripped the carpet from underneath Johnson’s feet and disqualified his poll numbers. Johnson’s road to the debates was much more difficult than other candidates because he was starting off with zero name recognition nationally. His successful and creative gimmicks of selling hats, shirts, yard signs, and other cool campaign gear for just a buck were gaining traction and people were beginning to show real interest in this quirky businessman. However, since he did not fit into the RNC’s corrupt mold, they refused to give him his earned media time in the debate. Johnson stated “It is clear that from the beginning, the RNC knew who they wanted on the stage and who they wanted to ban from the stage. Simply put, this is a flawed decision of a poorly run process of a corrupt organization.” Johnson issued an insightful press release detailing the correspondence between his campaign and the RNC.

Despite these two men meeting every debate qualification imaginable, they were shut out and silenced. So much for the GOP being the party of “free speech”... While Johnson and Elder did everything right, including their signatures of the “Beat Biden Pledge” which requires candidates to support the GOP nominee regardless of circumstance, Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson fraudulently signed the pledge then admitted in the debate that they would NOT support President Trump if he is convicted by one of the many Banana Republic indictments against him. This means the RNC ran a SCAM debate, allowing RINOs like Christie and Hutchinson who did not truly qualify, while silencing conservatives like Elder and Johnson.

Elder skipped the California recall debates in 2021 because Newsom refused to attend. Elder, staying consistent, had no bad-will for Trump skipping the debates because of his massive, land-slide lead on all of his GOP opponents. Unlike the whiners and RINOs in the GOP debates, Elder and Johnson understood that if they wanted to have the MAGA torch passed to them, they were going to have to be America First candidates who respected all of the incredible work done by President Trump. Elder and Johnson understood that historical revisionism about Trump doesn’t sit well with grassroots conservatives. They knew that the Trump successor had to embrace his movement and take it further. The RNC wants to squash the America First movement, not continue it.

Additionally, the RNC was provided a golden opportunity with Larry Elder to reach black voters that typically tune out anything Republican. Instead, they’d rather bring jackasses like Doug Burgum to puppet standard talking points that wins absolutely nobody over. The fight for Trump is ongoing in Minnesota, as we reported, the MNGOP hired an anti-liberty lawyer for the Trump case because the corrupt MN Supreme Court will not allow Trump's campaign attorneys.  

Elder and Johnson’s endorsements of President Trump locks down the anti-establishment solidarity of the grassroots. We are witnessing an unprecedented assault on our freedom, the weaponization of the judicial system has never reached such unforgivable levels. Trump is far and away the leading contender for both the primary and general elections and it is time to consolidate. Elder and Johnson could not get momentum because of the RNC rigging the debates so their endorsements of Trump is the perfect middle finger to the Swamp. There is no perfect candidate but Trump is pretty damn close. Congratulations to Elder and Johnson for running excellent and inspiring campaigns, now it’s time for Trump to finish the job!
