Conservative Minnesotans had Tim Walz’s number from the beginning, and when he moved from Congress to the governor’s mansion, even more voters learned he wasn’t what he said he was.
Being selected as Kamala Harris’s vice presidential running mate in 2024 only expanded the universe of those who realized Walz was way over his head in politics and government to a national level. He embarrassed the Democratic ticket, already mortally weakened at the top, with his quirky campaign appearances and speeches.
Since it became a state in 1858, the Gopher State has alternated between periods of electing Republicans and Democrats (the Minnesota Democrat Party is officially called the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, or DFL). It has produced more than its share of national figures, including Floyd B. Olsen, Harold Stassen, Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, and the improbable Jesse Ventura. It also produced noted congressional figures such as Bill Frenzel, Martin Sabo, Vin Weber, Tim Penny, and the current House majority whip, Tom Emmer.
Walz had no accomplishments or the skills of these figures, but his timing of leaving his high school coaching job to run for Congress and beyond was perfectly timed for one of Minnesota’s “blue” periods. (No Republican has won statewide since 2006.)
Now, however, Minnesotans’ pride in their state has been dashed by an enormous scandal of widespread fraud largely perpetrated by some recent immigrants to the state. This fraud went uninvestigated by Governor Walz’s administration and DFL Attorney General Keith Ellison despite several warnings and signs that something improper was going on.
Federal authorities, including the acting U.S. Attorney, have uncovered an expanding list of fraud cases which includes up to $9 billion in Medicaid fraud alone. The story was virtually ignored or heavily downplayed by the local establishment media, including the state’s largest daily newspaper.
But widely read conservative websites, think tanks, and individual journalists sounded the alarm, and the news story was picked up nationally. Even some very liberal and Democrat-biased newspapers and broadcast networks have begun to run critical articles. Minnesota fraud has become the number one news story in the U.S. and made the state the laughingstock of the nation.
Because of the magnitude of the fraud and the fact that Tim Walz is involved, the story is now a major international news story.
So far, neither Governor Walz, Attorney General Ellison, nor any other DFL official have been accused of direct involvement in any of the fraud cases, nor is there any evidence of it. But there is growing widespread criticism of them for ignoring the problem despite so many signs of it having existed for so long.
The immigrant community from which so much fraud has occurred has reportedly contributed substantial sums to the DFL Party and DFL candidates, and has routinely supplied DFL candidates with overwhelming voter support.
No less a figure than Elon Musk has already called on Walz to resign. A local voter has just begun circulating a petition for the governor to resign as well, and claims already to have about 10,000 signatures. Five GOP state legislators have additionally just called for the governor’s resignation. Republican candidates for governor are making Walz’s response to fraud their leading issue. The Minnesota Constitution has provisions for the recall of the governor.
The federal Small Business Administration, Homeland Security, FBI, and the Department of Justice are now in the state investigating fraud allegations. Some federal funds to the state have been suspended.
Walz has already announced he will run for a third term in 2026, and no one in his party has announced plans to oppose him for the nomination.
No one has ever won three four-year terms as Minnesota governor, and with Walz’s growing current problems arising from the fraud cases, and his dismal and worsening poll numbers, he is not likely to win next November. With Attorney General Ellison also slated to be on the ballot in 2026, the prospects grow for a landslide Republican win of all statewide offices — and possibly the pick-up of the 2nd District congressional seat.
Lacking a formidable untainted alternative, the DFL is in no hurry to replace Walz at the top of the ticket next year. But if the petition now circulating calling for him to resign were to gain significantly more signatures, and if details of the various frauds continue to dominate the news, Walz and his DFL Party might have to make some unpleasant decisions in the new year.

Praise God for allowing light to be shed in so many dark places in our nation, exposing the evil and eliminating it. To all my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, trust God and honor Him as He continues to bless our nation under the leadership of President Trump and his administration. Pray for our nation and the world as we await our Lords return.
This clown not only has allowed the blatant corruption on his watch but he is a disgrace to the military as well because of stolen valor. If he is not held accountable, I will completely lose all faith in what’s left of our Criminal Justice system.
It is going to come down to voter turnout. The marxist always have a good turnout. The republicans need to start working now on getting out the vote. Not just in Minnesota but in every State.
The so called Governor Waltz and all like him, Biden, Harris, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Newsom, etc should all be charged with treason and conspiracy to destroy the United States and the American People they are trash and corrupt scum and need to be stopped at all cost!
If Ellison or Waltz are even available to run again, then Mn. is hopeless. These two are either grossly incompetent, or out right fraudsters. They should be nowhere near the tax payer’s money.Oh to see the perp walks!
Ellison is a muslim, he and Walz worked hand in hand in stealing taxpayers’ money for the muslim terrorists!!!
Every blue state has their nut job, we have Newsom. How they got there is a mystery, how they stay there is corruption. Fortunately, crooked politicians are being called out but the damages are hard to undo. Lying, cheating and stealing isn’t acceptable anywhere except politics. People in public office should be above reproach, instead they are self-serving, even their oath of office is a lie.
Another corrupt politician and useless human being
Walz is a liar just like all of the radical liberals who are doing their best to destroy our Republic. The have been trying to totally break down our systems that maintain law and order and they have set up so many fraudulent entities in order to break down our capitalistic economy. What Trump and the DOJ needs to do is assign a panel of very capable people to investigate ALL non -profits and ALL of the federal monies that have gone to blue states. We need a complete audit of it all. The radical liberals and now nearly all of the illegal immigrants the Biden cabal brought into our country have done nothing but bankrupt our country. Walz must be tried and convicted and thrown into federal prison and all of the other guilty parties as well. The Somalis need to be deported NOW. If there are Somali citizens, they should be tried and also go to a federal prison. It is time for the media who are standing up for these types of schemes to also be prosecuted for adding and abetting criminals! Why can they lie, lie, lie and get away with it? One last thing…keep our borders totally closed until ALL of these messes are cleaned up. When that is done, no immigrants from the countries who have come here to destroy us should NEVER be allowed in again.
Prosecute the whole state & then add OH IN & CA to mix since our fraud in CA is worse then MN NO exceptions
I hope so, the most incompetent and crooked liar I have even seen. May he go down in flames and down into history as the biggest criminal Minnesota ever produced.
Nothing will happen. Walz and Ellison are democrats. All they know is lie, cheat, steal, repeat.
will believe it when charges that stick are in court, not dismissed.
DIMMs crave POWER. Tampon Timmy will not resign; it goes against his lust for control. Minnesotans, who hopefully wise up, can deny his reelection next year and should also oust the woke DIMM legislators who supported him and passed bills rewarding illegal immigrants!
Minnesota will just turn a blind eye like they’ve always done.
Another great article by B. Morris Casselman!
Naw, not the end for him. Regardless of whether he manages to remain or return as governor, he’ll be a regular on the Jimmy Kimmel show and on the View. Heck, he may even achieve being the first male member of the view. And, if it demands that he be a female to be a member, he can always change his pronoun and come on the show wearing a sanitary napkin.
Probably not. No consequences for Democrats. I will believe conservative propaganda, when Charges are actually filed, an hold un in unjust courts!
Are you kidding me? That’s a badge of honor to be at the helm of a disaster like that! Not only will he still be Governor they’ll probably make him an anchor on CNN. This is a kind of garbage leaders are made of. Takes a classic Democrat to orchestrator financial disaster like that. They’ll probably put him up for president. Remember the old saying after the war a chicken in every pot and tampons in every garage or something like that, or was it tampons in every pot?
Doubt it, had there been aby decency and blind justice functioning the way it was meant to ,there would be a whole passel of Tim Walzes in the proper place where they belong to, regardless of skin color, political leanings or sex. This is a different setting, responsibility , accountability, ability and capability do not count, it is all about perceived injustices and grievances, reality has nothing to do with that. able and realistic pragmatic and sensible do not need to apply. Common sense is a handicap.If he ends up in prison I owe a bottle of good brandy to my neighbor, we’ll see.I bet there will be a pro forma sacrificial scape goat or two and that will be justice done.
In answer to the question of “Is this the end of Governor Walz” I can only say “I sincerely hope so.”
No one in the Democratic party thinks stealing from the government is wrong. Federal, State, or local, that is just business as usual.
Within 5 minutes of hearing Tim Walz talk, it was pretty easy to see he was an empty vessel. You won’t learn anything useful from him, ever. Same with Kamala. Every time I heard her speak, I said she was either drunk, high on drugs or a combination of the two. But hey, this is the Democratic party. They don’t have a clue how to govern. But they have been shown how to lie, cheat, steal, by their last president. As if they didn’t already know the party was crooked as a dogs hine leg. At this point what could you hear about the Democratic party, or any of it’s members that would shock you? Seriously.
Girlie-man Tampon Timmie, without question, is the MOST INCOMPETENT, IGNORANTLY ARROGANT, MENTALLY-CHALLENGED, LYING, LEFT-WING GOVERNOR IN HISTORY. And after these new revelations of multi-billion dollar, terrorist-funding fraud, as of now makes him the most corrupt governor in history.
Tampon MEGA-CORTUPT Timmie should be given three choices:
1. SELF-DEPORT, SURRENDER YOUR CITIZENSHIP and NEVER RETURN TO THE U.S.
2. SELF-COMMIT YOURSELF TO A PSYCHO INSTITUTION FOR HAVING LIFE-THREATENING TDS AND YOUR HIDDEN PERVERSIONS FOR A 20 YEAR TREATMENT AND RECOVERY STINT.
3. RECOVER EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR LOST IN THE FRAUD SCHEME. AND IF YOU FAIL DOING THIS, YOU GET TO SERVE AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME IT’S FOR THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC LIFE IN SING SING PRISON OR ALCATRAZ.
Well this is such a scandal. I never understood why Tampon Timmy was picked for VP by the democrats. Till now. He could bring billions of dollars to the campaign fund. And the man still has the audacity to besmirch President Trump and a Congressional Committee over their investigation of this fraud that has been going on in Minnesota. Right under Timmy’s nose and he didn’t know nothing.? BS. Timmy was too busy snowing the voters by putting Tampons in boys bathrooms and being friendly with China. He had his priorities. The citizens of Minnesota, you know the taxpayers, that paid for all this with their tax money. Does Timmy mention that no of course not. He is looking out for number one and that is Timmy. He’ll throw Ellison under the bus
as well as the Minnesota workers who blew the whistle on all of this. Time to arrest a few people in Minnesota but also DC politicians. They all are complicit. Isn’t democracy wonderful? The democrats are so worried democracy was leaving America. No it’s doing great in Minnesota. Just imagine if they had won the election. We would be supporting Somali daycare centers everywhere.
He loves the Somali community so much lets take and drop him off in the middle of Somalia where he can open his own trans-gender child care center. I wonder how long he would last? Remember he has a shotgun and he knows how to use it ha ha!!
It’s about this outrageous fraud came to light for the United States. There is so much fraud all over the United States and the world. I hope the liars and cheaters have a one way ticket to a Federal prison.
Perp walk that criminal low brain cell clown for fraud and money laundering .
No Rat should EVER be allowed ANY authority. They are self-serving criminals, perverts, and traitors.
imo
If we don’t put Walsh in prison for the rest of his life just leave him there where he is. The voters got exactly what they paid for. This creeps all the way to Obama. He is the evil that has corrupted our government. We need to see some hangings!
You watch. The demolition crat party will defend this worthless crook. I mean when the entire party refused to take ANY responsibility for bringing in 15 million homeless illegals, you think they’re gonna act any other way?
People like Walz will always exist, it is the job of citizens to prevent them from using political positions against the citizens who elected them. What concerns me most is the inability of voters to recognize the actions, inactions, words, and behaviors of Walz and his ilk are a servere threat to the US and it’s citizens. I’m in my 70’s and believe the adults I encountered in my 20’s were not as gullible as they are today.
You can thank the divider-in-chief BHO for the turn of the worm in MN politics! He flooded the state with Samoli Muslims to do exactly what has occurred. They took over the politics and the purse strings to all that “free” tax monies from the American taxpayer. Keep voting Demoncrat. How much worse can it get?
NINE BILLIONS DOLLARS in FRAUD give away? This shows us how inept or corrupt the Democrat’s governance is about, and yet people still vote for them, and continue to blame Republicans for their plight? Maybe China is behind their policy to bankrupt yet another Sate? The Governor is very close to the CCP as he was a former teacher there, so maybe he is in on the program without him knowing the extent of the fraud?
Minnesota voters are proving themselves as stupid as California voters.
Too many political figures escape criminal justice for their blatant disregard for the
law.
Walz is a disgusting person and hopefully the Republicans have a landfall take over of the late, great state of “Minnesota”. Plus they need to get a handle on the Somali population, hunt down all the perps and imprison them who were involved with this fraud. Plus the statute of limitations needs to be extended as this is going to take time to evolve.
Timmy is dumb enough to claim stupidity as a defense for all the graft that is occurring in Minnesota. But watch the libs defend his useless consumption of oxygen.
For decades these decaying democrat breeding grounds have not only grown multiplied and thrived in these numerous pits of rot. Spread like cancer, from their hidden dark corners, protected by political status operating under the fake guise of being helpers to the needy and misfortunate, congregating together to justify their corruption, guilt, theft, incompetence and greed. Situations the public was well aware of but helpless to fight the monstrous conglomerations of the politicians sanctuaries. Now in their narcissistic state of compliancy, convinced they can get away with all they desire with no consequences. So assured of “I can do what I want and there’s nothing you peons can do about it, so Shut up”. Will be interesting to see what come of this, fall through the giant cracks into the abyss of time removes all memory.
It’s beyond my imagination why this idiot, and I use the term heavily is still in his position. I’ve lived in MN 3+ years It’s a beautiful state but the leadership is in the deep swamp with WDC. I have met many wonderful people apparently not enough of them to mske the difference in the state policts.
Walz even bragged in his debate with JD Vance how easy he made starting a daycare facility in Minnesota!
Where was FOX,NBC,ABC,WGN,CNN, etc., etc., looking into this fraud? It rook a young man who is not a journalist working for any of these known broadcast stations to unravel this story. Governor Walz is a buffoon and so is the mayor. These crooked politicians are politically involved by receiving votes from the Somali immigrants. Walz was bragging about child care at the debate with J.D.Vance. Our Vice President thank God! How many other states are involved? Let’s take a look at my state . . . Illinois. The corruption is out of control and so are our politicians.
Like every other democrap mayor/governor/senator, he needs a sign for his desk that says The Bucks Stop Here. Maybe they can get a discount for a bulk purchase.
Voters in Minn. caused the problem by helping to elect Biden who brought in the Somalians. How could anyone who cares so little about their country shown by who they put in office expect respect. To make matters worst they refuse to do anything to punish the guilty.
He blames it on all President Trump. He is a narcissist. I saw where he was blaming Trump for the Somalians fraud. Really?
We can only hope that such a vile actor would leave the stage. Willing to do so much harm for personal gain should relegate Walz to the dustbin of history.
One thing I’ve learned about this Democratic party is, they are very well organized with underhanded methods along with deep pocket backing them up.
Republicans seem to SHOOT themselves in the foot all the time! UGHH!
Don’t be surprised when the Dem party rallies behind Walz, spreading lies, pointing fingers and twisting the facts.
Just wondering … how much money was swindled from the tax payers and given to the Dems? That was stolen money(property) and needs to be returned.
Is it the end for Tim Walz? I certainly hope so. He thought the American people were stupid and now comes his reckoning. Walz is a coward and liar. Awful!!
It is important that the truth is coming out. However, I do not believe that Tim Walz will be prosecuted or spend one day in jail. The Democrats have a get out of jail card for free. The legacy media is aligned with the Democratic Party making it very unlikely this corruption will ever see the light of day. It is very important that politicians of both political parties be held accountable. But in the end all connected with this corruption will be free to continue their evil ways.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he runs for POTUS and gets it Biden got being brain dead I’m convinced now both sides work together letting each one have power for awhile to enrich themselves from the American people yeah walz’s will probably get POTUS and pardon himself and everyone involved the way things have been going
