This is an opinion piece by MAGA Jesse

The State Central Scam of 2023 was an intentionally designed time-suck for the Establishment to screw the grassroots out of time, money, and energy. Perhaps Hann will utilize some of the State Central money paying off the $414,000 party debt instead of lining his own pockets.

Here's a recap of what I witnessed at the State Central delegate meeting on Saturday...

The morning started off with a bang as an Establishment henchman Sergeant at Arms began blockading a door leading to a room rented by Rebuild the MNGOP. This group of Patriots wanted to provide a nice space for delegates to mingle, enjoy water and snacks, and discuss ideas. The very concept of this sent chills down the MNGOP Swamp’s spine, individuals thinking for themselves is not allowed in the high ranks of the party!

Tommy Merickel, a well known RINO, was rude and mean to several female delegates, who had no prior knowledge of the person they were encountering. Merickel is connected with the Minnesota Jobs Coalition and fundraised big money for RINO state house candidates. They won a whopping ZERO primary wins. His antics appear to be in line with his out of touch philosophies!

Merickel is also known for his role in removing 33 duly elected delegates in Otter Tail County and tilting the scale in the BPOU endorsing convention for RINO Jordan Rasmussen and against Patriot Nathan Miller. Tommy has been a strong backer of new MNGOP rules that allow BPOU and CD Chairs to ban delegates who break some kind of anti-free speech loyalty allegiance. The irony is rich considering all of the money he spent on unendorsed candidates in the primary against conservatives like former Rep. Erik Mortensen, Rep. Mike Weiner, and Mark Bishofsky.

The MNGOP leadership has shown an unwillingness to adapt and exemplifies the weak Republican Party that we ditched in 2016 - the MAGA era. In almost every single state, MAGA defines the average GOP voter, but the MNGOP is defined by debt, no principles, and losing. 

Social club Republicans hold a majority stake in this Party. To them, it’s better to lose every election than lose their grip on center-right political power. Patriots who question the status quo are considered opposition instead of allies. Several hardcore conservatives were called Democrats by establishment, big government RINOs; further cementing the outrageous lies and smears they will whip out over the tiniest bit of pushback to the failed MNGOP leadership.

Flyers were distributed by delegates like William Beck, Drew Roach and myself, showing dissatisfaction with David Hann. Many of us hoped to chart a new direction for the MNGOP. See flyers below:

While some delegates were hopeful for the future of a Party that would embrace MAGA patriots, eliminate party debt, support the grassroots, abide by endorsements, campaign on a conservative agenda, win elections, and save our state/country, others were fine with a continuation of a George Bush style Party into 2024. Delegate William Beck even provided a detailed list of qualified individuals who the party could rally behind:

Some Patriots faced consequences for wielding their free speech against the powerful. Delegate David Penn was ejected early from the meeting after powerfully calling for the removal of several MNGOP members in leadership. Another delegate was ejected after comparing RINO convention Chair Dave Osmek's silencing of him to Germany in the 1930s. Osmek later went on AM1280 to call my Trump flyer "unhinged and crazy"... That is how the establishment sees MAGA.

In another instance, while I was distributing the literature calling on delegates to find a “Mike Johnson” type leader to unify, establishment pawn Kip Christensen began pushing me, falsely claiming that there was no disclaimer, and hoping to ban me from the floor. I pointed out the obvious disclaimer at the bottom and called Kip an idiot, which offended him, but he should expect to be called as he acts, especially when committing a definitional case of simple assault. 

The goal of delegates was to revitalize the party and support a new leader that all conservatives could rally behind but that goal was cut short by under-handed, cherry-picking and intentional misinterpretations of the MNGOP rules, bylaws, and Constitution. In a ridiculous show of theatre, White Knight David Hann pretended like he supported the motion going on the agenda! Convention chair Dave Osmek served as a mouthpiece for the establishment by showing favor towards them in almost all rulings. Osmek completely and utterly failed at serving as an impartial chair as his bias was apparent to any clear-minded observer.

Unlike the previous attempt of removal of David Hann, this removal was sent in well beyond ten days in advance (as required by the MNGOP Constitution) and was served in person and electronically. Hann falsely claimed that the removal was anonymous, even though every delegate was notified immediately that it was filed by Larry Doose, and they were notified of that fact from Larry Doose. Hann’s slight of hand is in reference to other removal charges that were filed against MNGOP Secretary Jenna Dicks and RNC Committeeman Alex Plechash, which were anonymous. Hann also was shrugging and shaking his head at the idea of being served, misguiding delegates from an undeniable truth.

However, this does not dispute the original point so I went to the microphone and asked the Chair if removals had to be filed before a convention call is out and how to amend an agenda that doesn’t yet exist. Osmek avoided the question multiple times until he finally answered yes, even though no language in the MNGOP Constitution, bylaws, or rules would indicate that to be the case. Osmek, Hann, and the parliamentarian were experts at masquerading Robert’s Rules of Order as a tool to confuse delegates from the truth. The truth is simple, Larry Doose is a Patriot who felt the need to rebuild the party and win big in 2024. The attempts to smear his integrity were desperate swings at a Patriot standing his ground. If the MNGOP had a few more Larry Dooses, then maybe their leadership could be held accountable.

Delegates and guests paid $65-$85 to help dig Hann out of his debt problems and get run over by establishment proceedings. The disdain and disregard the establishment has for the activists on the ground makes it clear how things stand with the grassroots and the MGNOP. At one point, MNGOP leaders began chastising delegates for not giving the party enough money! They blamed the grassroots for their terrible fundraising numbers and some delegates spoke up and said that they didn’t trust the party with their money - as they shouldn’t.

David Hann, for whatever reason, still wants to lead the MNGOP to disaster. He is an avid Anti-Trump RINO who has put the party in massive debt and the majority of the grassroots do not trust his leadership. Why would you want to lead a party that has such a large faction fighting you? If Hann truly wanted conservatives to unite, he would understand he needs to step aside. Instead, Hann will squirm and tell bald-face lies to any poor sap buying what he’s selling. If he had an ounce of self-reflection, he would see he is not the right person to lead the party.

There is a new era of freedom on the horizon but RINOs are doing everything they can to roadblock that effort. It has become evidently clear that the MNGOP leadership, and even a good segment of the State Central delegation, have become out of touch with 'We The People.'

Now, does this mean the party can’t win? In a lot of cases, yes. Their only hope is to siphon off the electricity made by President Donald Trump in this race and use the work of Patriots as their own accomplishments. Additionally, candidates must not listen to the campaign advice of David Hann, who sent an email directing candidates to call abortion a “Constitutional Right”, see below:

Was Hann suggesting that Republicans lie to voters about abortion law in Minnesota or that they lie about what their actual position is? Was his goal to ensure that this issue does become a “Constitutional Right”? Why would the messaging of campaigns cave to false leftist talking points instead of discussing the Democrat’s radical policies on late-term and post-birth abortions or the tax dollars funneled to Planned Parenthood?

Hann will say anything and feeds intel to DFL Chair Ken Martin. Martin and other high level Democrats know that Hann is a weak opponent, and that’s why their friends in the media covered these proceedings in such a negative light. There are zero young people, black people, Hmong people, Somali people, or anyone for that matter coming to the party with Hann in charge. Uninspiring leadership co-opts potential growth efforts.

The $414,000+ worth of debt the MNGOP has is not the fault of any voter, it is the result of poor fiscal management by David Hann. The party is in shambles and the delegation of State Central has been fooled yet again. If Trump and down ticket Republicans are going to win in 2024, it will be done from the outside of the party, not the inside. The MNGOP would be totally dead in the water if it weren’t for Trump and the America First movement. If they can ride off our coattails effectively, we could see some big things out of Minnesota in 2024!

I was disappointed by the low numbers of deer I saw while hunting in Northern Minnesota this November. On opener, I was in the forest bordering the BWCA and heard less gun shots and saw less deer sign than every other year I've hunted the area. The following weekend, I hunted an hour and a half north of the Twin Cities in a zone that no longer allowed hunters to shoot does. We unfortunately didn't come across any bucks.

My experience appears to be shared by most Minnesota hunters this fall as the deer harvest was down and license sales dropped. Preliminary deer harvest numbers show a drop in nearly 19,000 deer shot, or an 11% decline from 2022. And there was a drop of 3% statewide in total deer licenses sold in 2023. Both harvest and license sale numbers are even worse when filtered for norther hunting zones.

The dwindling numbers and lackluster experience hunters are having in one of the state's most historic traditions has motivated thousands to get politically involved. 

What is the culprit behind the decline? Some point to the recent tough winters. And no doubt, they've been cold and snowy. But if you talk to the average hunter in the woods, fingers almost always get pointed at Minnesota's infamous howling apex predator - the wolf. 

A group called Hunters for Hunters (website) recently organized and is hosting events around the state to unite hunters and steer their focus towards political solutions to save the Minnesota deer hunt - including restarting a wolf management program. In fact, the group has eight upcoming meetings labeled "Wolf Predation Meeting." 

Sen Nathan Wesenberg (R - Little Falls) has been the leading voice at the Capitol so far for the group and recently spoke to a packed room of 400 hunters in Carlton. That crowd seemed small compared to the numbers that turned out in Auora over the weekend.

Wesenberg recently came on our show to discuss the objectives of Hunters for Hunters, the shortcomings of the DNR, and what needs to be done to revive the Minnesota deer population. See video below.

Facebook erased the page of a conservative, Minnesota-based group called North Star Liberty Alliance (NSLA) this week. And it appears they did this to many others without any media outlets reporting about the purge.

William Beck helps manage the social media pages for NSLA and alerted us this week to the page being completed removed from the platform, without any explanation. Facebook then removed William's account (who also helps manage Action 4 Liberty's social media) and the accounts of the other members who help manage NSLA.

In 2021, Facebook completely removed Action 4 Liberty's popular page from the internet as we were spreading truthful information about COVID tyranny and the vaccine mandates. Over $50,000 spent on the Facebook platform to build the page and its audience was wiped out over night. Since then, Action 4 Liberty has built back a page and thus far has not been removed or suspended.

But A4L's ally, and the host of our popular training events, NSLA, somehow ended up in the crosshairs of the Big Tech company. According to William Beck, they're not the only ones.

Facebook recently announced that it "shut down" thousands of accounts tied to China that were meant to "polarize voters." Did the popular social media platform use this opportunity to deplatform legitimate, pro-liberty American voices as well?

We'll discuss the rest of this story on Tuesday's episode of the Truth Hurts Show on Rumble.

We're happy to announce that Former Rep Erik Mortensen is joining the leadership team at Action 4 Liberty. While this will certainly trigger the Republican and Democrat Establishment who have grown to hate Mort for his courageous stances at the Capitol, we are pleased to get the wisdom and tenacity of Minnesota's greatest liberty champion.

Mort was a champion for the liberty movement, using his position as a legislator to travel the state and empower activists to rise up and STOP vaccine mandates, end ridiculous mask mandates and ultimately, end Governor Walz' emergency powers.

For that, he became HATED by the Republican and Democrat Establishment.

From Day One, politicians at the Capitol feared him and tried to derail his efforts at every turn. They told us he was ineffective, not a team player and his path in politics will never work. 

But in 2021, Rep Erik Mortensen raised more money than any other legislator, including all Democrats and Republicans in the House and in the Senate. That money came from small, grassroots conservatives all across the state.

We are pleased to bring Mort on our leadership team to help us fight and win the big unknown battles that lie ahead of us in 2024. Our mission is to protect liberty for the next generation. We need all hands on deck!

The government keeps lying to you and the corporate media goes along with the deceit. Headlines today read that Minnesota Management & Budget projects a $2.4 Billion surplus, but the actual figure is over double the amount. YOU are owed $2,000 back!!!

Politicians are holding onto a historically high, $2.9 Billion rainy day fund called the "Budget Reserves." This money was taxed from us, held for years in the government coffers, and has not nor will ever be needed. Even during the COVID pandemic, the government didn't use the budget reserve funds.

When added to the budgetary balance after the expenses are subtracted from the beginning balance and revenues, there's $5.3 Billion in estimated surplus by the end of FY2025 (July 31st, 2025).

Notice how spending in this budget far exceeds revenues. This was a result of the Democrat controlled government blowing through the previous budget surplus to spend on more wasteful government projects and political kickbacks to their special interest.

When the government overtaxes us, it should IMMEDIATELY return those funds back to taxpayers. Could you use $2,000 back in your pocket in these days of rising consumer prices?!

SIGN GIVE IT BACK PETITION

This is a colorful opinion piece by MAGA Jesse

The RNC is rigging the debate process to allow former New Jersey Governor Chris Krispie Kream to remain on stage despite his failure to meet debate criteria.

Was a DeSantis Super PAC used to keep Christie on the stage? Why was a last minute Trafalgar poll released that inflated Christie’s numbers? Why is Ronna Romney and the RNC leadership rigging the GOP primary?

Party leaders and a party as a whole have an obligation to treat candidates fairly with unbiased procedures. Rules are not meant to apply selectively, they should be applied consistently and in pattern with proper procedure. When the leadership of a party shows special interest in assisting a candidate, it reeks with corruption.

The RNC has released the names of invited participants for the fourth debate in a press release put out on the night of December 4th. Included in this were the expected three: Vivek, DeSantis, and Nikki Haley.

Despite all trackers finding Chris Christie as not qualified, his name appeared on this list. This is a move that RINOs are hoping gets silently swept under the rug, but this is corruption at its finest and it needs to be exposed. This is hardly the first time the RNC has pulled these stunts; We previously reported how they rigged the first debate against Larry Elder and Perry Johnson and exposed it on The Truth Hurts months ago.

The fourth debate qualification rules are the most difficult yet and requires the following parameters be met:

1. Constitutionally eligible candidate with active campaign
2. Sign Beat Biden Pledge (Support eventual GOP nominee no matter who)
3. Sign Pledge to only compete in RNC sanctioned debates
4. Get 6% in two national polls or 6% in one national poll and two statewide polls at 6% from two different states
5. 80,000 individual donors

In the case of Chris Christie, he has publicly stated (even on previous debate stages) that he would not support President Trump as the GOP nominee. This means he illegitimately signed the Beat Biden Pledge, deceiving the RNC and voters.

Politico has been producing the best debate qualifying tracker in the nation because the RNC has been very skittish in defining rules and polling parameters. This has forced the media and pollsters to analyze the results without guidance. In essence, lazy RNC leadership did not want to be transparent so they could tilt the scale when need be. But even Politico has been too generous in this round of polling.

Chris Christie’s poll numbers are near zero in almost any national or statewide poll in this country. He has no grassroots support and is just a media-created mouthpiece for the RINO Never Trump movement. Christie has a small level of support in New Hampshire because Democrats can vote in GOP primaries there, and he has had polls put him over the statewide polling requirements. However, this would still not qualify him for the debate and he would need another state at 6% or two national polls at 6%. Unfortunately for Krispie Kream, even a measly 6% support for him is delusional. 

Christie was poised to be excluded from the debate stage, and still should be, until three fake national polls saved the day for him. The first of which was commissioned by FairVote but conducted by WPA Intelligence, who is working for Never Back Down, the Super PAC for Ron DeSantis. RNC debate rules stipulated that polls don’t count if they are “conducted by a polling company affiliated with a candidate or candidate committee.” The RNC previously used this criteria to keep a poll Larry Elder submitted out of the running. Politico did not find the poll to be qualified for their tracker. What benefit does DeSantis have in keeping Christie on the stage? Is there a secret alliance between their campaigns? Why has the RNC treated their campaigns so favorably.

The second fake poll was conducted by the Trafalgar Group and was released on December 2nd right before Christie had no chance of qualifying. This national poll magically found 6.3% of idiots claiming to support Chris Christie. They also may have used unallowed means of methodology, as Trafalgar uses methods not allowed under RNC rules. We are supposed to believe it is a coincidence that Christie qualified at the last minute and not a grand conspiracy… Give me a break.

The third fake poll was done by YouGov and a website called the "Liberal Patriot". This poll was conducted by left wing activists and ran from September 7th-18th. RNC debate rules stated that all qualifying polls must be conducted on or after September 15th. This means that this poll is in very clear violation and cannot be counted. This poll and the Trafalgar poll are included on Politico's tracking document.

The RNC bent their debate rules for DeSantis in a debate against California Communist Gavin Newsom. Candidates were supposed to only participate in GOP primary debates, but if the establishment wants to see DeSantis play grab-ass with Sean Hannity and Gavin Newsom for a Fox News puppet show, no problem at all.

We always knew polls were fake and are curated to create the desired result of a given client. In this case, RINOs like DeSantis and Ronna Romney find it advantageous to have an obnoxious, irrelevant, anti-MAGA, double-speaking candidate like Chris Christie on the stage. If the RNC and Christie have other polls that they are using instead of these, why are they hiding the results of them from voters?

Despite the previous three GOP debates being far from impressive, they are historically worth millions of dollars in free advertising and can make or break campaigns. Trump’s lack of involvement in the debates has weakened the credibility of the RNC and the other candidates. While it is the kids table of Republican politics, rigged processes must be called out and fought. We must call on the RNC to revoke the invitation to Chris Christie because he has failed in multiple areas to meet the debate criteria. Now is the time to draw the line against the rule-breaking RINOs!

The Democrat Party keeps going further left in every way, shape and form. Now the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) is appointing Minnesota's radical, lockdown governor, Tim Walz, as its new chair.

Walz is a former Congressman from Minnesota's southern 1st Congressional District. He initially ran for the seat when he saw an opportunity for a Nebraska born and raised guy to catapult into a big political career in the North Star State. However, to do so, Walz who was serving as a Master Sergeant in the MN Army National Guard, had to abandon his troops and his position as a conditionally promoted Command Sergeant Major as the unit was preparing to deploy to Iraq. He abruptly retired without any duty in a combat zone.

As a Congressman, Walz had a reputation for being a more moderate Democrat, although signs of him being a radical leftists were there if one was looking. In 2010, Walz co-sponsored a resolution praising Klaus Schwab and his globalist, anti-freedom organization, the World Economic Forum. 

When Walz became Governor in 2019, Minnesotans quickly got to experience a Governor who played politics meaner and further left than his predecessors. His tactics in growing Minnesota's budget and raising taxes worried many. But it wasn't until March 18th of 2020, when Minnesotans found out the true tyrannical, anti-liberty leanings of Walz.

For the next year, Walz implemented citizen lockdowns, mask mandates, state worker experimental vaccine requirements, and two rounds of business shutdowns. He also completely mismanaged the Minneapolis riots that led to thugs burning down the Minneapolis Third Police Precinct. His popularity waned towards the end of COVID and he finally relinquished his unconstitutional emergency powers thanks to the work of our field teams putting pressure on the weakest members of his Party.

Unfortunately, voters had short memories in November 2022 and re-elected the failed governor. And due to incompetence on the part of Minnesota Republicans election teams, Democrats won a trifecta of the government. That's when we learned just how radical Tim Walz really is.

Since taking over full control of government early this year, Walz has blown through a record $21 Billion budget surplus by spending it on more reckless government. Even with that surplus, he raised taxes on Minnesotans. As if higher taxes weren't bad enough, he made sure Minnesotans would pay more for energy as he mandated all electricity produced in the state to be carbon free by 2040 (85% by 2030).

Then he passed a multitude of extremely radical social policies like allowing a 6 year old to get genital mutilation surgery against a parent's approval; abortion even after the birth of a child; AND Walz signed a bill that considers pedophilia a "sexual orientation" under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. 

This is the man the Democratic Governors Association picked to head their organization. 

Dean Phillips didn't mince words when addressing how the Florida Democrat Party refused to hold a presidential primary in their state. "Our mission as Democrats is to defeat authoritarians, not become them," stated the Minnesota Congressman and Democrat candidate for President.

Before addressing Phillips' valid concern about the Party conspiring to disenfranchise voters to crown Biden the Party's nominee, I must say, where the hell was Dean Phillips in criticizing the Party when they actually became authoritarians during COVID? His Party's governor of Minnesota unilaterally took over law making in Minnesota to shut down businesses and his Party's President mandated that American citizens take an experimental drug against their will.

Moving on...

The Florida Democratic Party decided that their Primary will have only one candidate: Joe Biden. Despite serious issues with the Biden re-election bid like his mental cognition and plummeting poll numbers, the Democrat Establishment wants to clear the field of competition for the worst President since Woodrow Wilson. 

According to the Phillips campaign, the Florida Democratic Party leadership voted recently on the measure to only consider Biden on their primary ballot, which the campaign alleges is against the rules of the Democratic National Committee. “Americans would expect the absence of democracy in Tehran, not Tallahassee,” Phillips said, as he prepares for a lawsuit that is "disenfranchising" voters.

Phillips may be a long shot for the Party's nomination, but it seems like the Democrat Establishment is poised to go to the August 2024 DNC Convention with a plan to remove Biden on the ticket and replace him with CA Governor Gavin Newsom or Former First Lady Michelle Obama. Dean Phillips is getting ahead of the rigged game and trying to build up a constituency for that convention ahead of time.

A new poll conducted by MinnPost/Embold Research found President Trump and Biden to be in a dead heat and almost an exact tie when the margin of error is factored in.

According to many so called political experts, Minnesota is a blue state that Republicans cannot win in. This political calculus has blinded many in our state to the massive size of the grassroots conservatives in Minnesota. 

Minnesota is a red state that has become controlled by the twin city Communist politicians, the Democrats have desperately tried to convince us otherwise but the writing is on the wall and Trump is 100% in the running for Minnesota’s electoral votes. See the poll below:

This new poll surveyed over 1,500 likely voters which exemplified Biden’s diminishing support while President Trump’s support continues to expand with younger voters and voters of color. Additionally, Trump has a higher favorability rating than Biden in our state too, see below:

In the GOP primary, President Trump continues his commanding lead in Minnesota as he is up 33 points on his closest rival Rob DeSanctimonious. It is painfully clear that RINOs and corrupt GOP insiders are opposed to the will of grassroots conservatives and do not want Trump to be the GOP nominee. See GOP primary poll results below:

As mentioned, Minnesota is red besides certain pockets in our state where the liberal hivemind behavior has taken over. See the 2020 election results for President in Minnesota:

Keep in mind that these numbers come off of the heels of RINOs and Democrats unsuccessfully working together to try to remove Trump from our primary and general election ballots in Minnesota. The Establishment’s unintended consequences are coming to bear, the phony witch-hunts and indictments have pushed Americans closer to Trump than against him. We The People can sniff out corrupt kangaroo courts and it has made us even further opposed to the Deep State. President Trump CAN and WILL win the state of Minnesota in 2024, but only if we fight like Hell!

Minnesota US Senator Tina Smith’s recent stock purchases has provided evidence that she is possibly using insider and secret Senatorial information to enrich herself.

Insider trading is the act of buying or selling stocks with non-public, material information about that company. In the DC swamp, this is common-practice and has been a sure-fire way for corrupt politicians to make money. Insider trading is inherently a conflict of interest; Politicians with exclusive power and information should not be allowed to trade stocks.

Like most corrupt politicians, Smith filed the trades under her husband. They bought up to $200K in a company called Artivion Inc. and $250K of stock in Tactile Systems Tech. Tactile Systems is a Minnesota business that is very small in comparison to the typical crony investments politicians make, as their market cap was less than $500M while Artivion sits at $718M and is headquartered in Georgia. Both are medical device companies.

Tina Smith sits on the Senate Committee on Health where both Tactile Systems and Artivion receive government contracts which Smith manages and earmarks. This direct conflict of interest points to Smith receiving insider information that led to these unusual purchases.

As of yesterday, Smith has profited up to $60K from her Artivion purchase in less than three weeks, see below:

After Smith’s purchase of Tactile Systems, the stock has risen over 43% and it has risen every single day since, see below:

Additionally, Tactile Systems has 1.62 stars out of 5 from customer reviews on the Better Business Bureau’s website. Low satisfaction rates for companies are usually a good sign of bad business practices. It should come as no surprise that the corrupt business owners in bed with Tina Smith are slimy.

Patriots and liberty activists have taken to social media to demand answers from Smith and call on Rep. Angie Craig to investigate (as Craig claims her opposition to insider trading as a top priority).

The silence of Craig and Smith is deafening and proof that the swamp protects their own. Corruption should always be fought and all good faith people agree that Senators, Congressmen, and their spouses should not be allowed to buy and sell stocks because it is 100% insider trading! This story exemplifies why the American People do not trust politicians and why organizations like Action 4 Liberty are needed to expose it! 

The US Senate and Democratic Party should take immediate steps to call for Smith’s resignation upon the revelation of her insider trading scam.
