The Dem Minnesota state lawmaker who was assassinated by a crazed gunman in a rubber mask crossed party lines just days earlier and made a critical vote revoking health care coverage for illegal migrants. Melissa Hortman, the state House Democratic leader, was the only member of her party to side with Republicans and vote to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage for adult illegal immigrants as part of this year’s budget bill. She and her husband were gunned down on Saturday in Brooklyn Park just outside of Minneapolis, shortly after the same assassin is believed to have gravely wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

Comments:

Days ago, Hortman had voted against her Dem party to remove Minnesota benefits to adult illegals.

The left lost the voters. They're losing control of the ballot box. They have no message, no leadership, and their media pawns lost their influence. They have nothing left but extreme raw violence to force their agenda on the rest of us. This was more than a murder. It was a message to the others to obey or risk death.

Have to wonder who will be the next representative for the district. Will it be a lefty that marches lock step with the left? From that perspective, the shooter is successful. They removed someone opposed to their agenda and replaced them with someone that supports it.

I have to agree with previous posters. The term 'useful idiots' isn't just a slogan, it's what they do when the usefulness is over. Co lateral damage in the push to 'the left'.

The vicious, violent, anti-American leftists cannot abide anyone not supporting their pro-illegal insanity. Change your opinion, and they will try to kill you....and sometimes succeed. The left is always violent, they cannot persuade, so they go to violence.

I recall the Lamestreams all applauding Senator McCain every time he 'crossed the aisle' and voted with the 'Rats to kill something that President GW Bush was trying to do. Perhaps the most well known is when McCain cast the deciding vote -and he milked it for everything it was worth- to kill the ObamaCare repeal bill. Now we see what happens when a Democ'RAT crosses the aisle to vote with the Republicans. As #1 says..... it's a message to the rest of the 'Rats.... don't you DARE put a Toe off the 'Rat Plantation!

Just think Chrissy Walton is part of these "No Kings" rallies. So there is a shooter in Utah and a shooter in Minnesota and we should believe that these are all peaceful rallies? When Obama became the presidential candidate in 2008, it is the first time I heard of community organizers. I firmly believe we have more than just community organizers. In addition, we have groomers and influencers. They all seem to be going off the deep end.

Melissa was the state Speaker of the House in 2003 which began the year with a huge surplus. Under her steering and Walz's strong support, she and the Dems proudly passed their first legislative bill to make abortion codified without any restrictions in the state. The Dems were/are all very proud of this. She also presided over spending the surplus on ridiculous items such as free school lunches for EVERYONE regardless of income, and adopting a new and absurd state flag without letting the citizens vote on it, and providing free health care and drivers licenses to illegals. Very little of the surplus money was returned to the taxpayers. This year the legislature faced a looming budget deficit because of this outrageous spending spree. The state constitution requires a balanced budget. Melissa was not the Speaker this year. In the state house is an equal number of Dems and Republicans. She decided to make "the sacrifice" in the name of compromise to rescind the free health care for illegal adults but keep it for those 18 and under. She may have been a nice person, but she was not a champion of Christian values.

A maniac barged into a Lower Manhattan courthouse and slashed two officers in the neck and face in a shocking attack Monday morning, law enforcement sources said. Jonathan Wohl, 37, of Queens, ran into the lobby of Manhattan Criminal Court at 100 Centre Street around 9:30 a.m. and suddenly ambushed the officers, according to the sources. He cut one of the officers twice on his face and sliced the other on the neck – before shoving a third into a barrier in the main lobby, the sources said. Wohl was then taken into custody on the fourth floor of the courthouse.

They got him last night. Vance Boelter, 57, was apprehended after a two-day manhunt in Minnesota. Boelter is accused of impersonating a police officer to shoot two state lawmakers, State Rep. Melissa Hortman and State Sen. John Hoffman. Their respective spouses were also shot. Hoffman and his wife survived, but Hortman and her husband were killed. It was described as a targeted attack. Boelter abandoned his fake police car after exchanging gunfire with police over the weekend. Inside the vehicle police found “No Kings” flyers and a manifesto, along an extended kill list. Its contents were not revealed until now. There are at least 60 names on the list,

I'm sure you've noticed that the world's most annoying climate doomster, Greta Thunberg, has swapped her acid-rain coat and melting glacier galoshes for a stylish keffiyeh and a Gaza-riffic t-shirt. I'm guessing Thunberg finally fixed the climate and needed a new direction in her life. Today, hating Jews is more en vogue with the leftoids than slapping a dress onto their 10-year-old vegan son. Who can forget the hilarity of Thunberg's transformation from greenhouse gas hack to Judeophobe?As I predicted on my daily radio show, Thunberg's latest desperate attempt for attention may be her Waterloo.

A social media account has been slapped down for spreading fake news about Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and it came from an unlikely source: The Los Angeles Times. An account called ‘heymrhowie’ posted a harrowing tale of an ICE raid that occurred at an elementary school graduation. It’s fodder that would be outright believed and digested by the Left. No doubt, some did, but it’s fake. The Los Angeles Times did a lengthy fact-check on the current anti-ICE riots in the city; they shockingly included this portion, which exposed the video as fake news:

Cops cuffed 86 demonstrators at a rowdy anti-ICE rally in Lower Manhattan Tuesday, among them the daughter of a Moroccan actor, a self-proclaimed poet from an upscale college and a coed whose family owns a posh home in the Hamptons, The Post has learned. “My sense is, the vast majority of the 2,500 people that were there, were there to protest peacefully,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Fox 5 News. “There was a smaller group of a few hundred where we did have to make arrests. Some of them were looking for trouble.”

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday. "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said top U.S. officials have been in constant communications with Israeli officials in the days since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.

After a U.S. district court judge barred parts of Donald Trump’s election integrity executive order in April, a coalition of 19 Democrat attorneys general found a second district court judge to block other crucial provisions of the order.

Sen.

Just an organic moment of righteous frustration, he claims. But we know better—his whole stunt reeked of a desperate cry for attention, and the more he tries to explain it away, the more obvious that becomes. Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Padilla tried spinning his headline-grabbing antics as an innocent attempt to get information. “You can’t script this in Hollywood,” he said with dramatic flair, insisting he just happened to be near the press conference
