Tim Walz becomes friends with school shooters.

NY Post: Walz says he’s become ‘friends with school shooters’ in VP debate gaffe.

Walz hits the wall; fast.

OOF! Out of the gate, Walz fails.

Walz said his son, Gus, witnessed a shooting. THREE SEARCHES (DDG, Bing, Yandex); ZERO RESULTS on Gus Walz witnessing a shooting. Another Tim Walz tale. 

UPDATE, October 2, 2024:

I read news stories online today reporting that Tim Walz's son, Gus, was in the vicinity, but didn't view, a shooting. I was unable to locate a story about this event predating today, October 2, 2024. The  stories are dated today, after Walz made this claim in last night's VP debate. 

Reasons given for this not being previously reported cite those involved when it happened were juveniles. This surprised me a bit because other incidents of this nature hit the news cycle regularly when juveniles are involved, their names just aren't released which is understandable.  

The verdict I reached, for myself, is what Walz said is rather exaggerated considering he said his son, "witnessed." I don't recall Walz ever mentioning this before and, considering his pro-gun control stance (despite his rhetoric of being a supporter of 2A), it seems odd he never brought it up in the past during his pushes for "reducing crime." Which is the opposite of the usual Liberal Narrative of, "never let a crisis go to waste." 

AP reports, the shooting happened outside of a St. Paul recreation center while his son was indoors.  

NPR reports: Gus didn’t actually see the shooting itself, but he did witness the aftermath[.]

Not seeing or viewing something doesn't fit my definition of, "witnessing" something. 

FWIW, make of it what you will, how Walz spins the story compared to how it happened. 

As with many pols, especially Libs and their desire to exploit and bigly embellish their actual personal involvement in any story, take their tales with a grain of salt. And with Walz, make it an Industrial Size Grain of Salt, with extree Added Industrial Size Grain of Salt wrapped in a tablet of Industrial Size Grain of Salt.

No, Son of Blubber Tim Walz isn't off-limits.

"Gus" in is over 18, he's an adult. Son of Blubber isn't off limits. 

The Left would be ridiculing this all over social media had it been the kid of a Republican. What? Is this kid some 8-year old, blubbering, "That's muh daddy!" 

Buckle up Kenny Akers! 🤣 We're gonna have fun with this!

* Here's why Gus isn't off-limits. 

Hey, Fat Ass Tim Walz...MN COVID and COVID wasterwater levels "very high."

Mankato Free Press: COVID-19 hospitalizations on rise during unseasonable time.

Minnesota currently has “very high” viral activity for COVID-19, according to public health data, causing hospitalizations from the illness to tick up both in area counties and statewide.

Data from the Minnesota Department of Health showed Blue Earth County had 13 COVID-19 hospitalizations during a four-week period ending on July 27. One year ago a similar date range showed only one such hospitalization.

South-central Minnesota’s nine counties overall had seven hospitalizations from the illness in July 2023 compared to 28 this July. Statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations during the same periods rose from 243 last year to 630 this year.

Although the numbers aren’t near peak COVID-19 pandemic levels, their timing stands out compared to past years.

If rising Covid hospitalizations are this big of a threat, then Fat Man Timmy should close the State Fair which starts August 22, but he won't. It's too big of a $$-maker for the democrat party. He'll use his "emergency powers" after the fair ends, just in time to lockdown the schools, the businesses and the entire state. "Trust the science," is what this rejected Muppet-faced Tardis will use an as excuse, just like he did in 2020.

This lying, run-away from the National Guard, drunk-driving, fat fuck who shot and killed his own dog while pheasant hunting - he was drunk...always a good idea; hunting drunk - is the worst governor, ever, of any state of all time.  

His supporters are only the metropolitan areas (large cities with universities and schools which he and the MN dem party throws money at for votes) and the Iron Range and Arrowhead region. Why northern MN votes democrat in every election is a mystery. 

A legend only in his own mind.

Fat, worthless, far above his "pay-grade" POS.

Harris' VP pick Tim Walz. A man without shame.

Alpha News (archived): Walz says anti-parent teacher is ‘welcome in Minnesota’.

Gov. Tim Walz said a Florida teacher who believes parents have no rights in the public education system is “welcome” in Minnesota.
[.]

[Florida teacher Jenna Barbee] is under investigation for violating Florida’s new law that bars teachers in Pre-K through eighth grade from instructing students on "sexual orientation and gender identity."

No matter the level of degeneracy or erasing parental rights, there is no low to which Walz won't sink to pander to the fringe, radical Left Wingnuts. 

As an excuse during the "covid crisis", under the guise of "relieving phone calls to 911," Walz, using his "emergency powers act," initiated a "spy on and turn your neighbor in hotline" if too many people were gathering at your house or in your yard. ⏬

Post Bulletin (archived): Reports to 'stay at home' hotline flood in; Walz says it is needed to relieve 911 workers.

Minnesotans are nearly a week into a stay-at-home order aimed at limiting the spread of the coronavirus in Minnesota, and a hotline to report those congregating in large groups or failing to keep a sizable distance between themselves and others is generating hundreds of calls.
[.]
The hotline came under fire this week, and Republican lawmakers over social media and in news releases called on Gov. Tim Walz to take down the hotline and email address used to report suspected violations of the order.

HEY! POST BULLETIN! Why'd you scrub your original story on this? Thank God for Archive. I DL'd the story to HD as well. 

Looks like yet another case of interweb scrubberitis going on with all unfavorable stories on this miserable LeftTard. 

Twitchy: Walz ran away from the National Guard upon learning deployment to Iraq. Fellow NG doesn't look favorably upon him.

^ Walz also exaggerates blatantly LIES about his leadership and rank in the NG. 

⏬ Hey DUI Tim, like the AC/DC song says, "Have a Drink On Me." ⏬

96 MPH in a 55 MPH Zone! 

 

Walz allowed Minneapolis to burn for three days. Some say, I'm not one of them, only what I hear from relatively reliable sources, that Walz's lack of action for three days is because he was too inebriated and incapacitated to reach a decision. Some say that - not me. 

 

Hey Tim, remember in 2022 at the State Fair when you had your aides lead you away so you wouldn't have to answer a question from a voter (VIDEO)?

 

And he wasn't a High School Football "Coach." He was an "Assistant" Coach, not that there's anything wrong with that. But he can't even tell the truth about this. 

 

Walz bullied MN Public Television into deleting embarrassing video of his wife, Gwen. 

And if you're a rural Minnesotan, according to Timmy, you're the land of rocks and cows (VIDEO).

 

Walz's "stay at home for two weeks," turned into three years of tyranny from him - a hellish experience - and his covid policies resulted in thousands of elder-care residents to die alone. 

Here's more to read about Crazy Timmy. It's a partial list. The unabridged versions of this guy's lies and pandering would consist of multiple volumes. 

 

Awwwww, Harris-Walz supporters wore bracelets alerting them when to applaud. ⏬ ⏬ That's weird. 🤣  But far more saaaaaaaaaaad than weird. 

 

 

Harris couldn't have picked a better VP who deserves all the skeletons in his closet to be again dragged out and paraded in pubic. 

 

Treat democrats like they treat their political opponents: Keep digging up their past and sling it every chance you get. Never let up, never stop slinging. Never allow them to justify themselves. Never let them forget. Never.

Tim Walz doesn't know when not to say something.

Minnesota's Tubby Tyrant, Tim "DUI" Walz: 

This Miserable Fat Fuck is one to talk.

- It's been long alleged (and there are people who know), years ago, while hunting and drunk, Walz shot and killed his own dog. 

- As the leader of MN, (I refuse to call him "Governor"), into his second term, he's had at least two dogs (maybe more), each named "Scout" and no one know what happened to the prior "Scouts." There's never been two Scouts together, so where did the others go?

- His cat ran away from his residence, never to be found again. His cat got sick and tired of his shit and left. 🤣

- His premature exit from the MN NG in 2005 upon learning of deployment to Iraq. He ran away.

- His embellishment of his rank and accomplishments in the MN NG. 

- Then there's his daughter, Hope, who once threatened to "beat-up" a MN State Senator. Hope also was tipping off the protesters, providing them inside info in advance of what law enforcement was planning, during the 2020 Minneapolis Summer of Love and Healing. 

- It's alleged that his delay in activating the MN NG to counter the rioting and destruction in Minneapolis (and other areas) in 2020 is because he was too inebriated during the first three days of "civil unrest."

- Timmy bullied Twin Cities Public Television into deleting embarrassing video of his wife, Gwen. And TCPT happily obliged, squishy liberal worms they are. 

- Here's Timmy's DUI; 96 in a 55 MPH:

How as a teacher, the most important lesson he taught is, "responsibility." (Ahem)...Nice Mug Shot DUI Tim! 

- There are alleged claims that when asked to do a field sobriety test, Walz faked he had a hearing problem and couldn't understand the arresting officer's words. Yeah. Sure, Tim. 

- Walz and his miserable democrat party have put MN in debt and continue spending. Businesses close, some relocate out of state, people retire and exit ASAP. 

- Like Cuomo in New York, many elderly Minnesotans died alone because of his draconian covid restrictions in care homes or hospice. 

- While running for reelection, he walked away and refused to answer a question from a voter and he calls rual MN the "land of rocks and cows."

- Running for his second term, Walz PROMISED tax rebates of $2,000 for families and $1,000 to individuals. After winning the election, with democrats the majority in the House and Senate, the amount was revised down to $520 for family and $260 to individuals. You see, the Minnesota Politburo needs the money more than you do.

This isn't anywhere a complete list of what a toady Walz is.

Sources for the allegations are easily searchable. Some are inside info, yet Walz has never denied them or has his family. They're all adult public figures, so short of defamation or libel (which none of this post contains), there's nothing they can do about it. I'll gladly strikeout any accusation that is proven demonstrably false. Good luck! The comment section is open.

While I wouldn't have done what Noem did, and I don't approve of what she did; Walz is the last person to throw stones at anyone else, on any issue.

Like other liberal states ruled by obese liberals, Minnesota is another Land of Fatmanistan.

MN Republican Elliot Engen dons Superman costume to save Minneapolis.

Not my Rep but WTF is wrong with MN "Republican" Elliot Engen? 

CBS Via MSN: Rep. Elliott Engen of White Bear Lake is introducing a bill that would essentially override Minneapolis' ordinance and prevent any city or municipality from setting their own rules for rideshare driver pay.

KSTP: Walz urges lawmakers to take up rideshare legislation amid threats from Uber, Lyft.

[...] the Minneapolis City Council passed a new pay rate — meant to be an equivalent to the city’s minimum wage — for rideshare drivers who pick up, drop off or pass through the city. A 10-vote council majority overrode Mayor Jacob Frey’s veto.

While Lyft plans to end service only for trips that start or end in Minneapolis, Uber plans to cut options for the entire metro area, including Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
[.]
On Monday, House Assistant Minority Leader Rep. Elliot Engen, R-White Bear Township, filed a bill to try and preempt the Minneapolis City Council’s action.

Why try to preempt what is a city issue? Self-inflicted damage done by democrats and a guy with an R behind his name steps up to try and fix this? This isn't and shouldn't be a state issue, it should remain a city-by-city decision. 

Never underestimate Republican's abilty at fucking up a Silver Platter handed to them by democrats. RINOs and Republicans do this; on local, state and federal levels. They fail to accept The Silver Platter handed to them. EFT!

Minneapolis and MN democrats dig a grave for themselves and MN RINOs leap in wanting to bail them out of a political blunder. Do you think if MN RINOs passed a bill that hurt them politically that MN democrats would step in, trying to help them? Hell No!

When democrats are digging themselves a grave, do NOTHING! Stand down, watch and let them.

I'll never vote for a MN Republican candidate again, ever. Won't be voting dem, but will happily vote for a Third Party candidate.

Maybe, if a time comes and the elected MN State RINOs number only a dozen,  a new Republican brand, one that is Conservative and not UniParty, will form and emerge. 

Mall of America shooting Update.

MSN: Charging extension granted in MOA fatal shooting: "Evidence continues to be reviewed".

Johntae Hudson, 19, succumbed to his injuries after being shot inside the Nordstrom department store on Friday.

Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says it appears there was a physical altercation prior to the shooting. ["It appears." ??? - WTF? - DD] Videos posted on social media show shoppers hiding in stores. Some videos show shoppers running for cover after a loud bang is heard. One bystander's coat was grazed by a bullet.

The day after the shooting, police announced five people were arrested in St. Louis Park in connection to the shooting. The individuals arrested include three 17-year-old boys and two 18-year-old men. They are being held on pending charges of second-degree murder, police said.
[.]
"We know the how, we know the where, we know the what and we know the who. We don't know the why," Hodges said. [Does "why" need to be specifically articulated when someone is shot to death? - DD]

Gov. Tim Walz said after the shooting that the violence at the mall on Friday night was "absolutely unacceptable." He said he was in touch with local officials to provide support and resources.

This is the second lockdown Mall of America has gone on this year--shots fired outside the Nike store prompted a lockdown in August. On New Year's Eve of 2021, the mall went into lockdown after two people were shot on the third level of the mall.

Walz: "absolutely unacceptable." Mmm-huh. Way to go out on a limb there, Fat Man. This, from the guy who was...allegedly...too inebriated to make rational decisions and deploy the National Guard during the 2020 Floyd riots, mayhem, looting and the destruction/arson/burning of nearly 400 properties in Minneapolis. 

More - KSTP: Police: Charging deadline extended for cases stemming from fatal Mall of America shooting.

According to police, a charging extension has been granted, meaning charges from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will be due at 12 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28.

The charges must also be filed against all five suspects by that time.

As previously reported, five people – including three 17-year-olds – have been arrested. They have yet to be identified by police due to their age status as minors. Two others, 18-year-olds Taeshawn Wright and Deandre Depratto, are also suspected of playing a role in Friday’s shooting.

Police believe either Wright or Depratto pulled the trigger and killed 19-year-old Raymon Hudson of St. Paul at some point during a fight involving nine people in the mall’s Nordstrom store Friday evening.

No idea why one story refers to the decedent's first name as Johntae and the other story as Raymon. There aren't many reliable news sources in the Twin Cities.

Walz is a disaster. In everything. He is a successful boozehound. At least that's the chatter from inside the Governor's Mansion. Crack open another case of PBR you obese grifter.

Is attorney Ben Crump in town? Hmmmmm...probably not since it doesn't seem the shooter(s) is/are white.

MN "Republican" candidate Dr. Scott Jensen already backpedaling. Why not give your concession speech tomorrow, Scott?

Jensen is backpedaling his stand on abortion. Why? Because current MN Dem Gov. Timmy "Tub O Lard" Walz and the libs who worship at the Altar of Abortion are defining Jensen and he's too cowardly to stand by his (previously held) convictions.

This is Round Two of Jensen allowing his political opposition to define him. His first was conceding that he erred in what the libs inaccurately portrayed as Jensen comparing Walz to Nazi Germany. 

Walz's tyrannic abusive policies during the height of Covid killed countless numbers of people in elder care, assisted living and nursing homes. Walz loved his new role of mini-Dictator. You'd think Jensen could take this issue and run with it, but no, he turns tail and downplays this after false ginned-up hyperbolic criticism.

When one allows their political opposition to define who they are and backpedal, you're losing mojo, and Jensen is.

Depending on the poll, currently Walz is leading Jensen by 4% statewide (Change Research). In the Twin Cities  metro, Walz leads Jensen 50% to 36% (KSTP-TV). Jensen doesn't have a chance unless he can close the gap in the TC area.

Walz waited for a gift and Jensen gave it to him without even considering the optics. Talk about easy bait. Tub O Lard played Jensen like a fiddle.

FFS, Scott, don't you have any Spin Doctors?

Congratulate yourself Scott, you've just handed a second term to Tub O Lard.

This morbidly obese fucktard, originally from Nebraska, is going to be Minnesota's governor once again because Jensen doesn't have a spine or a pair of balls.

MN Gov. Timmy "Tub of Lard" Walz walks away, refusing to answer a question from a constituent.

The back story on the above is at Townhall.

The "funny" part about the above video is the person asking the question is a supporter of Walz. A democrat at Farm Fest, and an orgy of liberals congratulating themselves on how they've fucked over others; others who aren't part of their incestuous liberal cabal.

Lardass Tim always has time to talk...always. And he can drone on and on and on...find any of his pressers on You Tube and he's never at a loss for words. But not this time. Nope.

LardAss Tim also brags about his service in the National Guard. Oh, yeah, he's quite the Solder. Not. 

He bolted from the NG the moment he learned his unit was scheduled to be deported to Iraq.  

Alpha News (Archived): Tim Walz Is Misleading The Public About His Time In Service.

[Thomas Behrends, a retired Command Sergeant Major of the Minnesota National Guard] said, “Tim Walz has embellished and selectively omitted facts and circumstances of his military career for years,” said [Behrends], a retired Command Sergeant Major of the Minnesota National Guard.

Walz, 54, joined the Army National Guard when he was 17 years old, completing 20 years of service. In 2001, just days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Walz re-enlisted in the Minnesota Army National Guard. He then retired in 2005 to run for Congress.

Behrends says Walz did serve a “long and honorable career,” but it is Walz’s stories surrounding his service post 9/11 that raises red flags.

The discrepancies in Walz’s story starts with how long he re-enlisted for. In 2006, as Walz was amid his first campaign for Congress, questions were raised about the timing of Walz’s retirement. Tom Hagen, a Minnesota military reservist who served in Iraq, sent a letter to the editor of The Winona Daily News questioning Walz’s sudden retirement after learning his unit would be deployed to Iraq.

“But even more disturbing is the fact that Walz quickly retired after learning that his unit —southern Minnesota’s 1-125 FA Battalion — would be sent to Iraq,” Hagen wrote. “For Tim Walz to abandon his fellow soldiers and quit when they needed experienced leadership most is disheartening. It dishonors those brave American men and women who did answer their nation’s call and who continue to serve, fight and unfortunately die in harm’s way for us.”

Read the full story at the link. Walz, like any democrat, is lying through his teeth about his "timing" and "reasons" of exiting the NG.

Minnesotans can't afford four more years of Lard Ass Tim as governor. Unfortunately, the "blue" cities and liberal institutions, along with likely thousands of questionable "ballots" will sadly re-elect this gigantic horse's ass.

Remember, out-state Minnesota...remember...to Walz, you are NOTHING but "rocks and cows."

 ^ This BS ^ ...coming from someone who was born and raised in Nebraska...the King State of Rocks and Cows.

Minnesota can't afford four more years of LardAss Walz. His shenanigans never stop, even getting PBS to yank embarassing video of his FatAss Wife.

How bad is Walz? IMHO, by comparison, he makes former governor Benzo-Head Richie Rich look good.

And here we go. "Drake, you're making fun and shaming the obese." Yes, yes I am.

"Drake, you're making fun of someone who's dependent on Benzos." Yes, yes I am.

If you don't like what I write, start your own blog or site.

 

More Walz shenanigans:

Walz "values transparency" but gets the embarrassing video of his wife removed.

Walz apologized for voting in favor of bill to protect abortion survivors.

 

Walz buys a lake home in South Dakota using a "straw buyer". 

 

Out-State and rural Minnesota better head to their polling places in droves in November and vote for Dr. Scott Jensen, the Republican running against LardAss Tim.

Just Say "NO" to re-electing this useless blob.

Minnesota State Fair Canceled!

The 2020 Minnesota State Fair is canceled due to the China Virus, aka Corona, aka Covid-19.

US World and News Report (Archive): 2020 Minnesota State Fair Canceled Due to COVID-19 Pandemic.

Officials canceled the Minnesota State Fair on Friday after its leader said the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible for the show to go on.
[.]
“We all love the fair. And that’s exactly why we can’t have a fair this year,“ General Manager Jerry Hammer told the fair's governing board shortly before the unanimous vote.
[.]
Hammer has dubbed [the 2021 state fair as], ”The Great Minnesota Get-Back-Together."

Oooooh Hoooooooo..."The Great Minnesota Get-Back-Together."  That's so clever Jerry. Did you think of that all on your own or did a nice chunk of taxpayer money go to some out of state ad agency to create such a cutesy yet lame-assed hackneyed bromide?

Almost $20 bucks just for an entry ticket. Immediately as you pass through the gate, one of the first things you see is a gigantic DFL (Democrat-Farm-Labor...of which the MN DEM party is none of those) booth.

All the vendors selling disgustingly overpriced deep-fried shit-on-a-stick and the rides and sideshows will just have to make due with a little less avarice this year. Ahhhhh, Dat's. So. Sad. Join the rest of the world who are making due with much less because of the CHINA virus.

The fair is nothing but a huge moneymaker for the Minnesota DEM party and their sycophantic remoras. I could not be happier knowing these DEM organizations won't be receiving their cut of the revenue. They make the Mafia look like rank amateurs.

The fair is canceled. Good. Fuck 'em.

Some Minnesota Churches to defy Gov Walz and open for services.

Timmy Mussolini

Post Bulletin (via Archive): Minnesota restaurants, bars and salons get June 1 date to reopen, churches to hold services against state orders.

Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-East Gull Lake, said he was "dumbfounded" at the governor's move to allow restaurants, bars and salons to reopen, but not letting churches reopen.

"I see no reason why churches are any more dangerous a place for coronavirus transmission than Walmart or a mall," Gazelka said. "If you can get a haircut, shop at a mall, or eat at a restaurant, you should be able to go to church.”
[.]
But faith leaders on Wednesday said that wasn't good enough. In a statement, leaders of the Minnesota Catholic Conference and the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod in Minnesota said they would hold services beginning next week despite state orders restricting gatherings to 10 people or fewer.

“Darkness and despair have taken hold of so many of our fellow Americans in the face of the economic and social hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Archbishop Bernard Hebda said. “Faith has always been a source of comfort and strength and now more than ever it is of the utmost importance that we are able to meet the spiritual needs of our community.”

If businesses and restaurants can reopen at limited capacity, churches ought to be able to as well, faith leaders said.

Walz is really enjoying his newfound tyranny. Any why wouldn't he? He's still getting paid.

Do any image search on Tim Walz, you'll see he hasn't missed any meals. He's not worried about meals next week, let alone tomorrow. He hasn't had to worry about paying the mortgage or rent. His utilities are all paid. His transportation and travel is provided and funded. He doesn't worry about how he'll pay for healthcare and insurance. All of this, paid by taxpayers. Why, it's like he's not living in reality.

Flashback 2017: Tim Walz calls rural, conservative, Red Minnesota, "rocks and cows."

Walz extends 30 day "state of emergency".

Star Tribune: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz loosens pandemic stay-at-home restrictions.

Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that he will allow stores to reopen and let Minnesotans leave the house more*, while leaving in place for now restrictions for bars, restaurants, theaters, hair salons and other businesses with in-person services.

The announcement, delivered in a livestreamed address to Minnesotans Wednesday evening, means many small businesses and retailers can open their doors to customers on Monday, as long as they have a plan to keep employees and customers safe with social distancing.

“The stay-at-home order is expiring and the dials are turning, but that doesn’t mean we are carefree and can return to the way things were,” Walz said. “It means we have to stay safe, take care, care for our own health and care for our neighbor.”
[.]
Walz also extended for another 30 days a peacetime state of emergency that was set to expire Wednesday. The emergency powers have enabled him to take sweeping executive action such as the stay-at-home order and closing down schools, bars and restaurants.

* Why, I didn't know that I was required to check with Herr Walz on the number of times I'm allowed to leave the house. I guess I've been breaking quarantine. Meh.

Small businesses, especially in rural and small town Minnesota will continue dying. Walz doesn't care. They're nothing but rocks and cows to him.

Day by day, week by week - just watch - the progression that things will "get a little bit better enough" as we approach the date for the holy grail of Liberal Greed and Politics, The Minnesota State Fair. And Walz grandstanding, declaring how "happy and pleased he is" that the fair isn't canceled due to Covid-19.

But wait, Walz is concerned about all social distancing, isn't he? If Walz is so concerned over the re-opening of schools and businesses as we approach the end of summer/post-Labor Day holiday, why is he so reticent in canceling the Minnesota State Fair right now?

The Ramsey County Fair for 2020 is canceled. It receives a much smaller attendance than the State Fair. But so far, Herr Walz hans't canceled it. Is he willing to accept the responsibility of risking lives to the China Coronavirus by allowing the state fair to occur? What if by canceling the state fair Walz saved just one life? Isnt it worth it, Timmy, to save just one life?

Here's a short clip of Walz's livestream earlier today:

Tim Walz and related content.

Star Tribune Archived

Tim Walz expected to extend Minnesota Stay Home Order for another 30 days. The state fair? It will be held as usual.

FOX News 21: Walz to Provide Update on Minnesota’s Stay Home Order Tonight.

[Minnesota DEM] Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday morning that he will give an update to Minnesotan’s about the state’s response to COVID-19 during a live address at 6:00 p.m.

Walz is expected to extend his peacetime state of emergency order until June 12.

The governor has used his emergency powers to order Minnesotans to stay home, and to close bars, restaurants, schools, and non-essential businesses since the end of March.
[.]
Republican House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, of Crown, said it’s time to let those powers expire.

Walz is determined to bankrupt the state. Not the state government, mind you, but every one and every business that isn't a government entity.

It's quite interesting and telling that Timmy Walzolini has not yet decided to cancel the Minnesota State Fair. Why wouldn't he, you may ask. Well, there's simply far too much money (greed) and politics involved in the state fair.

This year the state fair is scheduled for August 27 to September 7. At THIS LINK you will find updates on the progress of the state fair. Huh, funny that as of this publishing nothing has been updated since March 16. Other functions and access to the state fairgrounds and its facilities are restricted. But not a word yet on the state fair being canceled.

Who wants to make a friendly wager with me that the state fair will be held? It will be. The DEMS have too much invested in it for it to be canceled. It's a cash cow for the DEMS and all their little goose-stepping Eichmanns.

Consider the following statement from state fair general manager Jerry Hammer, (who's been at the job since the late 1970's) from the Minneapolis Star Tribune: Gov. Tim Walz calls Minnesota State Fair a 'tough lift' this year given the crowds.

Fair General Manager Jerry Hammer said in an interview that for now the annual event is on track to open Aug. 27 and run through Labor Day as scheduled.

“We have a duty to present the fair and will continue to do so until it’s absolutely clear we can’t,” Hammer said. (A "DUTY"? SINCE WHEN IS A STATE FAIR CONSIDERED AN "ESSENTIAL BUSINESS"? - Drake)

A decision to cancel the fair won’t be made until it must be, he said. But he added the call would be made well before Aug. 1, though he couldn’t say whether a decision would come in May, June or July.

Hammer was firm, however, in saying that there will either be a full-on State Fair or none at all. No one is going to be scanning temperatures along with tickets at the gates, he said.

“We’re a big celebration,” Hammer said. “If the health of the people is where you need to take these extraordinary precautions, then maybe you shouldn’t be doing the event.”

From the same Star Tribune link above:

Gov. Tim Walz called holding the Minnesota State Fair during the coronavirus pandemic a “tough lift,” heightening concerns that the end-of-summer tradition will be canceled for only the sixth time in history.

“I wouldn’t make a definitive call, but I also don’t want to give any false hope on this. I think it will be difficult to see a State Fair operating,” Walz said in response to a question at his daily briefing Thursday.

The governor, who acknowledges he loves the fair, added that one of the greatest parts of the Great Minnesota Get-Together is being “elbow to elbow” in the crowds.

“I don’t know how you social distance in there,” he said.

Places of worship are closed, any public gathering is limited to ten people...and in a little over three months the state fair will be held as usual?

If the state fair is held, it will be all the evidence anyone needs in knowing that these lockdowns and "shelter in place" measures were nothing but a hoax; an attempt to kill businesses, kill the economy, stoke fear and panic, and promote the Liberal narrative of Big and Intrusive government.

Close small businesses. Close places of worship. Make people suffer and feel pain. Oh - - - but let the state fair proceed. It's all politics and greed...for those with political clout and the deranged Liberals that run this state.

MN Gov Walz holds hostage small businesses in his rule of tyranny.

KARE 11 News:  Minn. Senate passes bill to reopen businesses

ST PAUL, Minn. — In what was a largely symbolic move the Minnesota Senate's Republican majority Monday pushed through a bill that would let all Minnesota businesses reopen in spite of any emergency orders from Gov. Tim Walz.

Business owners would be expected to comply with CDC and Minnesota Dept. of Health guidelines on social distancing, masks and other infection control practices.

Under the Senate's legislation, those plans wouldn't have to be reviewed by the government and the state would be barred from stripping business and professional licenses from those businesses.

The DFL-controlled House isn't expected to pass a similar bill, but the debate once again allowed Republicans in the legislature to assert a position that distinct from the governor's measured response.

"The ma and pa shops that are on main street in many of our small towns in my district and throughout Minnesota, they’ve been continuing to call and ask and say we know we can operate safely," Sen. Andrew Mathews, a Republican from Princeton, told colleagues.

"I had a business owner who reached out, contacted me, and he laid out what his safety plan would be, he had already come up with it."

"I think if the governor’s using that science the small businesses, the small boxes, ought to be able to use that same science that has currently allowed for the big box stores," Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer, a Big Lake Republican asserted.

KSTP: Walz faces another lawsuit asking to end 'unconstitutional shutdown orders' for small businesses, churches.

Upper Midwest Law Center, a Minnesota-based public interest law firm, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of multiple Minnesota churches and small business owners to strike down Gov. Tim Walz's 'stay at home' emergency executive orders as "unconstitutional under the First, Fifth and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution," a lawsuit states.

The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. To see a copy of the complaint, click here.

By posing other and different constitutional questions to a federal court, this lawsuit differs from a separate suit filed recently in the state appeals court by the Free Minnesota Small Business Coalition.

The following are named plaintiffs in the case:

    Northland Baptist Church of St. Paul, and Pastor John Bruski,
    Living Word Christian Center,
    Glow In One Mini Golf LLC in Blaine, and its owner and operator, Aaron Kessler,
    Myron's Cards and Gifts, Inc., and its owner and operator Larry Evenson,
    Andrew Hulse and Gay Bunch-Halse, owners and operators of 18 | 8 Fine Men's Salons in Maple Grove and Wayzata.

"Governor Walz's scheme of selecting economic winners and losers by wholly shutting down some businesses while allowing others to remain open violates the Plaintiff businesses' 14th Amendment due process and equal protection rights," stated Doug Seaton, Esq., President of the Upper Midwest Law Center. "Governor Walz's actions also constitute a taking under the Fifth Amendment, and his prohibition on worshippers gathering violates churches' and individuals' First Amendment rights. The Constitution requires that the Governor respect the individual rights of all citizens at all times, narrowly tailor any restrictions, and apply the same rules to all. It is clear that his continuing lockdown executive orders fail these constitutional requirements."

Tim Walz unleashes his inner-Mussolini. Extends "Shelter" to May 18; lets children die.

Bring Me The News: Walz extends Stay at Home order till May 18.

Gov. Tim Walz has confirmed that Minnesota's Stay at Home order will continue for a further two weeks, extending it until May 18.

The governor announced his decision at a Thursday press conference, but with it comes some changes that will allow all Minnesota's retail businesses and other non-critical businesses to operate curbside operations.

Until now, it's has been retailers selling essential items such as food, alcohol and building materials that have been allowed to stay open, a move that has predominantly benefited larger stores.

Alpha News: Walz Covid Response lets children die (my headline interpretation, not Alpha).

In the wake of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s ban on elective procedures, doctors have been forced to delay life changing operations for sick children.

Normally, surgeries to fix partially obstructed arteries, remove some kinds of cancerous tumors or excise an infected gallbladder occur on a daily basis in Minnesota’s prestigious hospitals like the Mayo Clinic. However, since Walz banned so-called non essential procedures amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors have been forced to use nonsurgical techniques in lieu of otherwise straightforward operations, says the Star Tribune (ST). This has put some patients at risk of lifelong injury.

Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul works with kids suffering from complex health problems. This one hospital alone has been forced to cancel over 10,000 operations as Walz seeks to trade routine medical care for increased coronavirus testing capacity.

Dr. Tenner Guillaume who works at Gillette told the ST that while some non essential surgeries can be safely delayed, postponing other procedures may have lifelong health impacts on the children under his care.

Walz is just carrying out orders dictated to him by Big Liberal Politburo. Why, during this shutdown, can I buy T-shirts at Wal Mart but not the Indie store on Main Street? WTF difference does it make?

Would Walz like to decide who lives and dies during his continuing "Lockdown"? Hell talk big and loud about how much he cares about "everyone." He's beholden to the academic and political institutions and their whims and attempts at social engineering.

If you're not part of The Walz Club...you're a rock and a cow.

Liberate Minnesota protest on April 17 at governor's mansion.

At Facebook

KARE 11 News: 'Liberate Minnesota' protest planned in St. Paul.

Minnesota's Stay at Home order has been in effect since March 25, with businesses deemed non-essential shuttered since March 16. Across Minnesota and around the country, people are protesting laws requiring them to stay home.

Today, one of these protests is planned at the governor's mansion in St. Paul.

The Facebook event Liberate Minnesota has more than 550 RSVPs as of Friday morning. Planned to begin at noon on Friday, the event asks people to bring protest signs and to maintain a distance that you are comfortable with.

In a social post, the group says, "Minnesota citizens now is the time to demand Governor Walz and our state legislators end this lock down! Thousands of  lives are being destroyed right now. It is not the governor's place to restrict free movement of Minnesota citizens! Gov. Walz you work for the citizens of this state!"

On Thursday afternoon, Live Free Minnesota held what organizers called a "respectful drive-by protest" at the governor's mansion.

Respectful, fine. But I sure as hell hope it's noisy...continuous car horns honked and LOUD!

Remember folks, Walz is the one who called rural, conservative, Republican areas of Minnesota nothing but, "rocks and cows."
