Less than 4% of Americans have received the new COVID booster shot according to government data. Despite a push from politicians from President Joe Biden down to Governors like Tim Walz, people aren't buying the bag of lies anymore. 

Politico reports that "so far, 12 million people, or about 3.6 percent of the population, have gotten the shot in the five weeks since it hit pharmacy shelves — though reporting lags mean it’s likely a bit higher, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Mandy Cohen said."

Last year, only 17% of the adult population took the experimental jab. While "experts" blame the transition from payers (federal government to private insurers), the reality is that the average American no longer buys the bullshit from politicians and public health professionals.

We reported that Super Bowl Champion Tight End, Travis Kelce, is a paid athlete by Pfizer tasked with promoting the new COVID booster. The ad he's featured in ran on local television during the football games in Minnesota this week. According to the Minnesota Dept of Health, Minnesotans are slightly higher than the rest of America in up-to-date vaccinations with a rate of 4.8%.

Florida's Surgeon General recommended against taking the experimental booster shot, stating "there's been no clinical trial done in human beings showing it benefits people, there's no clinical trial showing its a safe product for people."

Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips (Minn-3) appears poised to launch his bid to challenge Democrat President Joe Biden on October 27th. This effort has earned him backlash both across the country and in his congressional district in the Twin Cities suburbs. Up until now, Americans have only had rumors of his long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination. Now, his campaign bus has been spotted in the wild.

Jason DeRusha, known leftist at WCCO Radio, shared a video on X of Phillips' campaign bus spotted in Ohio.

His apparent campaign slogan is "Make America Affordable Again," or "MAAA" for short. The slogan acronym fits Phillips, who is known for whining about how Republicans are "too extreme" in his free time. 

His slogan is a clear reference to out-of-control inflation that has plagued American families in the last several years. Ironically, Phillips voted for many of the spending bills that caused America's record-high inflation.

As true patriots will know, inflation is caused by increased money supply in the market -- decreasing the value of circulating dollars and driving prices up. 

On May 31st, Phillips voted to increase the Federal Debt Ceiling, allowing the government to borrow and print more money than the nation can afford. This created an estimated $4 trillion in new debt. Of course, you can also expect him to be on board with every social program expansion that the radical left can think of.

This hypocrisy from Phillips is not unexpected. His fake moderate status is equally hypocritical when you realize he votes with President Biden's agenda 100% of the time.

When Phillips brings the same big government policies as Biden to the table, there is no reason for Democrats to vote for him. 

Tom Emmer is one of the most recognizable names in Minnesota politics these days. In 2010 he was a mere 0.4% away from becoming Governor of Minnesota. He took the momentum of that campaign to the morning talk radio airways, becoming a mini-celebrity in the conservative ranks. Following Michele Bachmann's retirement in 2014, Emmer ran and became the congressman representing one of the safest Republican districts in Minnesota: CD6. And now, he's one of the leading candidates for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Here's what you need to know about the powerful House Majority Whip from Delano, Minnesota:

The Good

Minnesota seems to get little say in national politics these days. Washington is on autopilot in the worst way possible. Presidential candidates put a token effort into our state, but eventually just write it off as a reliable blue state. So if Tom Emmer becomes the Speaker, he not only is the most powerful Congressman to balance the power of the White House, he's also third in line to become President if something were to happen to Biden and Kamala Harris. 

Since politicians answer to us in the end, this gives Minnesotans a lot more power in shaping the future of America. Emmer might take his marching orders from the power brokers in Washington, but back at home he still faces re-election. In 2016, he was challenged by an underfunded campaign (AJ Kern) for the Republican endorsement, and Emmer barely won the 60% threshold to get the nod. If Emmer becomes Speaker and kowtows to Biden and the Democrat machine, he runs a really good chance of facing an endorsement and primary challenge.

The Bad

Tom Emmer is not a principled conservative. I don't care what his lit pieces or ads say about him, he'll sell out in a hot minute. So with a Speaker Emmer, we're likely going to get no significant change in Washington D.C.

In 2010, Emmer was a paid spokesman for a leftist National Popular Vote group. He either believed in the cause, which surely would tip a hand to Democrats and make it harder for a Republican to become president, or he is willing to sell out to whoever will pay him. We can't attribute his motive back then, but neither option depicts a principled conservative. 

When Emmer won election for U.S. House in 2014, the first vote he took was at odds with the base that got him elected. He voted to make RINO, Washington insider John Boehner the Speaker of the House. Boehner was an awful speaker who grew the federal budget and failed on multiple steps to stand up to the Obama White House.

Emmer's voting record is less than stellar. He recently voted to continue the failed deficit spending of the federal government, raise the nation's debt ceiling, and voted to codify same sex marriage into law at the federal level. Emmer also voted to certify the 2020 election, which puts him at odds with a lot of the Trump base.

It's not just how Emmer votes that is problematic, he's responsible for "whipping" Republicans to vote for these things in his powerful Majority Whip position. He's a good foot soldier for the Establishment's agenda.

Another concerning issue is that Tom Emmer ran the National Republican Congressional Committee for the last four years. While the Republican Establishment is padding him on the back for winning a majority in the U.S. House, conservatives around the country see Emmer's NRCC as working to protect bad voting Republicans from losing to conservative primary challengers. He even cautioned Trump in 2021 of supporting primary challengers of Republicans who voted to impeach him. 

We have no idea if Emmer has enough political capital to catapult into the coveted Speaker seat. But he has some wind at his back. Failed Speaker Kevin McCarthy has now endorsed him for the job. Although Emmer is facing a crowded field of good candidates including Kevin Hern of Oklahoma and Byron Donalds of Florida, to name a few, many in the national media are recognizing Emmer as the lead candidate.

An internal Republican Conference vote is expected early this week and a floor vote may follow soon after.

Out of the blue this week, the Republican Party of Minnesota (aka MNGOP) sent out a fundraising email asking for donations to keep Trump on the ballot in Minnesota. We reported a couple months ago that there is an effort by RINOs and Democrats to keep Trump off the ballot in the 2024 election, which will be argued in front of the Minnesota Supreme Court. This fundraising email was strange because the Party has refused to put out any form of communications condemning the egregious election interference cases against Trump, their leading primary candidate. Now they're defending him when there's a fundraising angle.

We've now learned that the MNGOP plans on exhausting big resources in this court case and has hired anti-liberty lawyer Reid LeBeau as Trump's last line of defense to stay on the ballot in the state. LeBeau is the Establishment's go-to lawyer who often does the dirty work for them against grassroots conservatives. Most notably, LeBeau wrote and filed an erroneous campaign finance complaint against Action 4 Liberty.

Reid Lebeau was also the retained counsel for the MNGOP in the summer of 2022 when the Party cut off data access for endorsed, grassroots conservative candidates like Natalie Barnes and Tom Dippel, to name a few.

LeBeau's law firm, the Jacobson Law Group (Jacobson Magnuson Anderson & Halloran PC), which has a heavy lobbying presence at the Capitol, hired one of the con artist Democrat legislators, Rob Ecklund, who protected Governor Walz' illegal emergency powers back in 2020-21. Although they are better known for protecting gambling interests of the metro area tribes, as this appears to be one of their biggest clients.

The Jacobson Law Group was also behind a second erroneous campaign finance complaint against Action 4 Liberty this year. We're currently forced to go to the court system as the Campaign Finance Board has been weaponized against us by the Republican and Democrat Establishment. The Board is appointed by Governor Tim Walz.

When we dug into the corrupt scheme against us, we learned that the Republican Senate Victory Fund made a mysterious (and so far unexplained) payment to Reid LeBeau's law firm one day before the November, 2022 election for $200,000. Days later, the Senate Victory Fund lost the majority, which gave the Democrats a trifecta of power in St Paul. 

We have information that lawyers have offered pro-bono work for the MNGOP in this legal case, but were turned down. Of all the lawyers in Minnesota, why are they hiring the anti-liberty, anti-grassroots, and probably anti-Trump, establishment Republican lawyer to keep Trump on the ballot?

Is Reid LeBeau a plant to purposely tank this case to allow the removal of Trump? After all the attacks he’s been behind on you and me as liberty activists, one has to wonder.

It appears the Republican Establishment used a little known trick called "vote parking" to derail Jim Jordan's popular bid to become the next Speaker of the House. Jordan is the popular choice amongst the grassroots, conservative base and despite supporting McCarthy in the past, is refuted by the Establishment pulling the strings in the Swamp. 

On the first ballot yesterday, Jordan received 200 votes and had 19 Republicans voting against him. To win the Speakership, he can't afford to lose more than four Republican votes since the GOP holds a slim 221-212 margin over the Democrats. After the vote, the House adjourned for the day and Jordan's team went to work trying to win over support.

But today's vote didn't go the way some expected. Jordan was able to win over independent minded Victoria Spartz, who voted for Thomas Massie on the first ballot. However, four Republicans who voted for Jordan yesterday, switched their vote for a myriad of other choices. Minnesota's own Pete Stauber was one of them.

The strategy that appears to be deployed here is called "vote parking" where one team selects personnel to vote on the first ballot for their opponent to give the perception he is stronger than reality. Then, on subsequent ballots, those personnel (who are loyal to the opponent) switch their votes to give the perception that the early leader is losing support and cause a natural movement of votes away from him. After all, we're all emotional creatures and don't want to be on the losing team.

SEE OUR SPEAKER VOTE TRACKER

Will Jordan become the Speaker with these kinds of moves being made against him? It doesn't look good, which just shows how out-of-touch the Republican Establishment is with the base. But that's no shock - they don't get funded from the grassroots.

What's interesting about this Speaker race is the hypocrisy unfolding right before our own eyes. Back in January when Gaetz and conservatives worked against Kevin McCarthy getting the votes, the Establishment scolded us with carefully crafted talking points which seem to only be valid when it's their guy facing troubled waters. Let's review:

Talking Point #1 - You don't have a guy that can get to 218 votes

So far, the Republican Establishment types who are going against Jim Jordan have not nominated anyone else from the floor. At least Matt Gaetz put up choices for nomination and gave a speech for them. McCarthy no longer has 218 votes; nor does Scalise. In fact, some of the Establishment types aren't even being serious. Rep John James nominated the Macomb County, Michigan Public Works Commissioner, Candice Miller. And Rep Mike Kelly nominated failed former Speaker John Boehner. So at this time, we're at a stand still. But at least Jim Jordan is a viable candidate who is being nominated from the floor.

Talking Point #2 - A small minority shouldn't be able to decide when the Republican Conference already voted

Kevin McCarthy won a large majority of votes behind closed doors in the Republican Conference back before the first Speaker vote in January. So when Gaetz and company voted their conscience on the floor, they were scolded for not being on the team. Well, Jim Jordan also received a majority of votes of the Republican Conference, yet currently 23 Republicans (a small minority) are deciding to not abide by the rest of the Conference's pick, which includes Kevin McCarthy's pick.

Talking Point #3 - Democrats love this, we'll lose the next election

If holding up McCarthy's vote nearly two years out from the 2024 election was going to be the reason Republicans lose next November, then holding up Jim Jordan's Speakership one year away from the election is more likely going to be on the minds of voters. But, ya know what, it turns out voters are not going to care about this in a year - they'll care more about WWIII and massive inflation.

Minnesota Management and Budget announced on Monday that the government keeps overtaxing Minnesota taxpayers and has collected $800 Million more than projected for the current biennium. While the official books show a surplus (available balance) for Fiscal Year 2024-25, the state continues holding onto a historically high $2.852 Billion of our money for a rainy day, which should be added to the surplus. The total owed back to Minnesota taxpayers is $4.435 Billion.

You know as well as I do how much we're all struggling with this out-of-control inflation. Experts say the average household is paying almost $800 more per month for the same goods and services they paid in 2021. But that doesn't mean Governor Walz and the Democrat legislature will prioritize giving it back to us. With roughly 2.5 Million taxpayers in Minnesota footing the bill, each taxpayer is owed $1,760 back.

Could your family use that money???

SIGN THE PETITION

A new poll released by Emerson College found that Trump is within the margin of error with President Biden in the state of Minnesota. Biden won the presidential election in Minnesota by 7 points over Trump in 2020. But the traditionally blue voting presidential state is showing high disapproval of the Commander-in-chief.

In a head to head match up, Biden leads Trump 40% to 38%, with 8% undecided and a margin of error of 4.4%. This suggest that Minnesota may be in play for November's election next year.

Of the 477 registered voters who responded to the survey, 51% disapproved of Joe Biden, while only a tiny 29% approved. Even Governor Walz had a higher approval rating than the President.

As liberals from Governor Walz all the way to President Joe Biden decry efforts to "ban books" in schools, it turns out their biggest foe may be Muslim families who consider homosexuality a "major sin" in their religion.

The Sahan Journal reports that nearly 1 in 5 students at Ham Lake's "DaVinci Academy" were taken out of schools by their parents for nearly a week in early October in protest of LGBT books that Muslim families found objectionable. This issue arose by DaVinci's use of a book series called "AmazeWorks" used in the K-5 curriculum. 

AmazeWorks sells books series written for ages 3 through 12, to teach kids about children with "lesbian, gay and bisexual family members" and understanding "gender diversity." Purchasing the latter book set comes with "five children’s books that share stories of gender diversity and expression." Here's a snapshot from AmazeWorks website:

Muslim children have since been brought back into the classrooms and the issue is currently being addressed by the school board meetings. DaVinci Academy's Executive Director, Holly Fischer, said there were plans being drawn up to allow a large amount of students to read different books. But Muslim families want them removed from the school completely and are threatening removing their children from the school all together.

There's roughly 150 Muslim students attending the school out of 1,000 total students. If that amount of students were pulled out of the school, it would be "horrifically detrimental" according to Fischer. After a recent school board meeting, it appears the Muslim families are adamant about their call to remove the books.

The next school board meeting will be held on Monday, October 30th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm according to the school's publicly available calendar. 

The Justice Department is charging 17 employees of the Broward County, Florida Sheriff's office with defrauding the federal government by stealing COVID relief funds. All of the charged individuals were sworn officers. By providing false information to the federal government to acquire CARES Act funds, the accused stole nearly $500,000 in funds from the American people.

In 2020, Congress enacted the CARES Act which established funds meant to stabilize small businesses during the early part of the COVID pandemic. This created programs like the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program. 

There are 150 cases that have been pursued by the Justice Department so far regarding fraud and theft of CARES Act money. Those cases have totaled $195 Million in stolen money.

Here's the Justice Department's press release:

Officials estimate that up to 17% of the $800 Billion of the PPP and EIDL COVID relief funds have been "disbursed to potentially fraudulent actors.” When Congress passed the CARES Act, they lacked real money to fund the program so they turned to the printing press to create new money to fund the programs. This is what caused the massive levels of inflation we are encountering today.

Star Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has challenged Pfizer sponsored Tight End, Travis Kelce, to a debate over COVID vaccines. Rodgers infamously did not get the experimental jab in 2021 due to health concerns over the experimental drug. On the flip side, recent Super Bowl champion Kelce teamed up with Pfizer in a new ad encouraging people to get the new jab.

Florida's surgeon general recommended against getting the new COVID jab stating, "there's essentially no evidence for it" and "there's been no clinical trial done in human beings showing it benefits people, there's no clinical trial showing it's a safe product for people."

Here's Rodgers calling for a team debate with himself and RFK Jr and Kelce and Fauci:

Rodgers made headlines last week when he called Kelce "Mr Pfizer" on the popular Pat McAfee show. When asked about his new name, Kelce stood by his choice to rep the company stating "I got it because of keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building, so yeah I stand by it 1000%. "I’m fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer.”
