When the Minnesota government overtaxed Minnesotans for the past several years, to the tune of a historic $21 Billion ($8,000 per taxpayer), the right thing to do was to give the money back to the taxpayers. But Governor Tim Walz and the Democrat legislature had other plans - spend the vast majority of it on more wasteful government. 

Of the $8,000 owed to the taxpayer, politicians only gave back a measly $260 of it, or $1,300 per households of five. 

We reported last month that the I.R.S. planned to tax the rebate money, costing recipients between $26 and $286 in additional tax liability. What a bunch of thieves!

It turns out, the Democrat legislature had the ability to stop the rebates from being taxed by declaring it "disaster relief," but they failed to act. Here's a letter sent to Rep Pete Stauber from the I.R.S detailing how the inaction by the Minnesota legislature left them going forward with treating the rebates as taxable income. 

If Democrats truly cared about the taxpayers in this state, they'd act immediately when the legislature convenes again in February. They also could give back all the additional overcorrected surplus money that has come in to the state coffers to help Minnesotans as prices continue to rise. 

A bombshell article written by public health journalist, Emily Kopp of U.S. Right to Know, proves that COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) leaked from the Wuhan lab and that U.S. taxpayer money went towards the creation of the unnatural virus. Documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests show that American scientists worked with the Chinese lab to "engineer novel coronaviruses" with "features of SARS-COV-2" a year before the global pandemic killed millions and cost trillions of dollars in economic damage.

Note: The corporate media and government narrative to this day is that the virus had natural origins tracing back to a wet market in the Wuhan province. 

What Kopp's piece uncovered is that the American taxpayer funded research at Wuhan "sought to insert furin cleavage sites at the S1/S2 junction of the spike protein; to assemble synthetic viruses in six segments; to identify coronaviruses up to 25 percent different from SARS; and to select for receptor binding domains adept at infecting human receptors."

Ok, that's a lot of science talk. Here's what it means:

SARS-COV-2 matches the description from the American taxpayer funded research proposal in that 1) it has the same furin cleavage site; 2) it can be divided in six contiguous genomic pieces, which would be "remote" if produced in nature; and, 3) it emerged "highly infective" despite not evolving in humans (according to the official narrative).

More importantly, the documents obtained by Kopp showed that a virologist working at the Wuhan lab "planned to engineer spike proteins." We reported last June that the first cases of COVID-19 were virologists in the Wuhan lab. Patient zero, for a virus that went on to kill nearly 7 million people worldwide, was Ben Hu, Yu Ping and Yan Zhu, all researchers who led the Wuhan lab's "gain-of-function" research on coronaviruses.

The government and corporate media is doing its best to ignore the clear evidence that American taxpayer funded research at the Chinese Wuhan lab is the origins of the global pandemic. And Anthony Fauci's blood is all over it. Wouldn't you think it's important to get to the bottom of this and hold the guilty people accountable?

President Joe Biden made a visit to Duluth today and continued his Tour of Endless Embarrassing Speeches. This bizarre sentence even made El President, Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports, wonder what the Democrats are up to by running Biden as their candidate. Watch:

Last night, news broke when an audio recording between Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake and Arizona GOP Chair David Dewitt was leaked. In the recording, DeWitt is clearly heard attempting to bribe Lake to drop out of the race by arranging a payment to her, at the direction of people "out east" - a reference to the political establishment in Washington D.C.

BREAKING: According to Fox 10 Phoenix, Dewitt has resigned from his position with the Arizona GOP this afternoon. In his resignation letter DeWit alleged that Lake has "released a selectively edited audio recording of our private conversation."

What was edited is a mystery. DeWitt is heard trying to use money to coerce Kari Lake to leave electoral politics in Arizona for the next two years. Something that likely is against the law in Arizona (it is in Minnesota).

Here's a link to the audio:

The leaked audio reveals what some of us already know about politics - if you are effective at pressuring the Swamp, they will resort to tactics to derail the pressure.  First they ignore you. However, when you achieve the level of political pain that a candidate like Kari Lake achieves, they try bribes.

Here's our training slide:

What the audio also reveal is how good Kari Lake sounds.

Hunters 4 Hunters is drawing huge crowds of outdoorsman across the state as they advocate for responsible wolf management to solve the issue of a dwindling whitetail deer population. There success at drawing crowds has drawn the attention of politicians who now go to the events and try to appeal to the base of hunters in attendance. 

At an event in St Cloud on Sunday, one of the politicians who attended was disgraced Rep Dan Wolgamott (DFL - St Cloud). You may remember his name as the politician arrested last year for a DUI after citizens witnessed him chugging a bottle of vodka in a northern liquor store parking lot, before getting behind the wheel.

Wolgmatt spoke in support of the group's objectives of a wolf hunt. However, Rep Isaac Schultz called him out for being the one state representative in attendance who actually vote for permanently banning wolf hunting in Minnesota. 

Here's the amendment Wolgamott supported on April 17th, 2023:

On Monday we reported that mask mandates were making a comeback in medical facilities in Minnesota. Children's MN put out guidelines on their policy which took effect on Tuesday. Following Monday night's Truth Hurts Show and the publication of the article, Children's MN changed the mask mandate. Originally, it required masks for "all patient-care interactions." But their update policy has removed that anti-science, obnoxious mandate.

Here's the original guidelines

Here's the new one without a mandate for "all patient-care interactions."

After growing Minnesota's state government by an unprecedented 36% and blowing through a record $21 Billion of overtaxed surplus money, Governor Walz proposed adding another billion dollars on the taxpayer credit card today in a press conference. Generally, politicians in St Paul only pass debt bills (known as bonding bills) every other year, but Walz' proposals comes after a massive $2.6 Billion bonding bill passed last year with both Democrat and Republican support. 

The bonding bill requires a super majority (60%) for passage, so it's the one key piece of leverage Republicans have to stop Walz and the Democrat legislature from enacting more radical policies. But the Senate Republican lead on bonding, Karin Housley, complained today that Walz' bill didn't spend enough money stating, "I'm concerned there isn't more money in this proposal for local needs across the state."

Nearly half the new debt will go towards maintaining state buildings, especially those in the Minnesota university system. 

Mandates for useless cloth masks are making a comeback in Minnesota. Children's Minnesota just announced a new mask guideline that takes affect starting tomorrow, January 16th, 2024. Masks are required to be worn for "all patient-care interactions."

Here's the policy:

In non-public testimony to Congress this week, disgraced former COVID task force chief, Anthony Fauci, admitted that the 6 ft social distancing guidance was not backed by science. According to the WSJ, Fauci stated that the social distancing rule “‘sorta just appeared'” without a solid scientific basis.”

The guidance by Fauci during the early stages of the pandemic led to business shutdowns by tyrannical governors like Minnesota’s Tim Walz. Minnesota state government fully embraced the fake science and state parks had signs informing patrons to keep their “moose length” distance.

Political event planners took things to the extreme by painting white circles on the ground to keep people distanced in open air environments. Here’s an infamous picture from a not well attended Biden campaign event in 2020:

Implementers of crazy COVID rules aren’t deterred by the lack of science though. We’ve received tips that mask mandates are making a comeback in medical facilities in Minnesota. But the efficacy of cloth masks have been debunked, another lie by Anthony Fauci.

Here’s the lead epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, Dr Michael Osterholm, explaining to Joe Rogan how cloth masks are useless in stopping the spread of COVID.

Lobbyist Legislator and failed former House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt announced his sudden resignation from the Minnesota House, which will be effective on February 11th - the day before the start of the 2024 Legislative Session. Daudt's surprising resignation strengthens the Radical Democrats' majority and makes their ability to pass things like gun control more likely.

While the motivation behind Daudt's decision may be a mystery, some speculate that he wants to take his lobbying full time and in the halls of the Minnesota Capitol. Daudt was hired many years ago by a Washington D.C. lobbying firm called Stateside Associates. Two fellow Republicans filed an ethics complaint against Daudt for serving as a legislator concurrently while representing a lobbying firm. 

Who is Kurt Daudt?

If you asked Kurt, he'd tell you he's a conservative and groups like Action 4 Liberty are fraudsters who don't believe in conservatism. But Daudt's legislative voting history tells a different story. As Speaker of the House in 2018, he earned a deep F (29%) on our liberty scorecard. His tenure in charge of Republicans in the House led to more government, unconstitutional omnibus bills, passage of a federal ID system, no movement on pro-gun bills like Constitutional carry or Stand-You-Ground, and more debt. 

In 2020, the heart of the Pandemic, Daudt's true colors shined. On April 14th, 2020, Daudt persuaded the majority of House Republican Caucus members to protect Governor Walz' Emergency Powers by voting against the resolution on the House floor offered by Rep Steve Drazkowski. Only 15 Republicans voted in favor of it.

Then, in a House floor debate, Daudt bragged that he wore a mask to save other House members' lives:

Once the experimental COVID shorts rolled out, we caught an advertisement running in Minnesota featuring Daudt who was using his position of power to encourage people to get the experimental COVID shots. The commercial was run by a third party organization funded by pharmaceutical companies, who his lobbying firm represents.

While Action 4 Liberty was busy working around the clock to End Walz' Emergency Powers by door knocking vulnerable Democrats in Greater Minnesota, Daudt empathized with Con Artist Democrat Dave Lislegard in a House Committee Meeting when Lislegard complained about all the heat he was receiving from Action 4 Liberty's highly effective door knocking operations in his district. Daudt joined him in calling Action 4 Liberty people "whackos" for trying to end Democrat Governor Tim Walz' illegal orders.

In the 2022 election, Daudt actively worked against conservative, Republican endorsed candidates. He coordinated funds from a federal Republican Legislative PAC to come to Minnesota and get spent against conservatives in the August primary. Luckily, he failed and they didn't win a single of the contested primary races.

Daudt has been a disgrace over and over again in Minnesota politics. Eventually all his vindictive, behind-the-scenes behavior and work to derail the conservative movement got the best of him. After failing to win the Minnesota House three election cycles in a row, House Republicans booted him from his leadership position. Surprisingly it took them that long!

We're not likely done hearing about Kurt Daudt though. His resignation is probably an effort to start lobbying directly in the state of Minnesota - something that definitely would've got him in hot water if he did it while serving as a legislator. House Rules state that a member can't lobby for a year after leaving the House, but there's no mechanism to enforce it and former Rep Nick Zerwas set a precedent years ago for not following that rule.

One more RINO is gone. Hopefully House District 27B finds a principled, conservative replacement once Governor Tim Walz calls a special election.
