Disgraced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz claimed this week that he would “never again” run for office but did not share if he had ruled out stepping into Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-MN) seat should she win the governor’s race and appoint him to replace her.In the weeks before Klobuchar announced her gubernatorial bid on Thursday, Townhall’s Dustin Grage reported that sources who helped predict Walz’s rise to becoming former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate indicated that “the plan is to clear the way for Amy Klobuchar, so she can appoint him to the U.S. Senate.”

The Trump administration has quietly decided to allow employers to import 65,000 extra H-2B visa migrants for jobs that would otherwise pay decent wages to ordinary American who vote in the midterm elections. The visa giveaway is part of President Trump’s zig-zagging between the two sides of his coalition — the voters he needs on election day, and the business donors who provide the funds for political campaigns. Meanwhile, the national media is ignoring the visa giveaway to business because it is focused on the left-wing street groups who are trying to block the deportation of criminal and wage-cutting illegal migrants from Minneapolis.
There are now 650 fewer illegal aliens on the streets of West Virginia after federal officials partnered with state and local law enforcement to arrest them. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Philadelphia operation ran from January 5 until January 19 in Martinsburg, Moorefield, Morgantown, Beckley, Huntington, and Charleston, the agency announced Friday.
“Together, federal, state and local law enforcement officials identified and arrested hundreds of illegal aliens who present dangers to national security and risks to public safety, as well as those who entered the United States illegally or have otherwise undermined the integrity of U.S. immigration laws—
Donald Trump threatened Monday to begin legal action against “loser” Trevor Noah after the comedian said the president visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s island and needs it again to “hang out” with Bill Clinton. The South African provided no evidence for the allegation which has been dismissed outright as a lie and fabrication by Trump.
After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning the Grammy for Song of the Year for her track “Wildflower,” host Noah brought up his Trump and Epstein allegation.
“Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped, referring to the president’s efforts regarding the Arctic territory.
Asked by reporters for his response to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's remarks, the US president seemed unfazed, asking: "Why wouldn't he say that? Of course, he could say that. "We have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, very close, a couple of days
"Hopefully, we'll make a deal. If we don't make a deal, we'll find out whether or not he was right."
Mr Trump spoke about US ships closing in on Iran on Saturday night and has previously warned he could take military action against Tehran over its killing of peaceful protesters.
Left-Wing Bias in Education

Left-wing bias in education. It has been following my son through every school he has attended and has once again raised its ugly head at his current college in Bedfordshire. My son is currently studying three A-level subjects there, having joined in September last year. One of those subjects is A-level law – evidence-based, focusing on factual information without fear, favour or prejudice, right? Not quite, it seems.
Although he has been at the college for less than a year, he (and we as parents) have noticed extreme Left-wing agendas and beliefs being pushed onto the students. Many, if not most, of the students either swallow it unthinkingly –
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just destroyed ABC's George Stephanopoulos during a contentious exchange on This Week, calling out the network for what he characterized as biased coverage protecting former CNN anchor Don Lemon following his arrest for involvement in storming a church service in St. Paul.It all started when Stephanopoulos asked when Blanche believed Lemon had crossed the line from journalism into criminal activity. Rather than taking the bait, Blanche immediately went on the offensive, pointing out a glaring omission in ABC's coverage.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) enters the 2026 midterms in strong financial shape.
The same cannot be said for the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
According to a report from The New York Times, the DNC currently has $14 million on hand but is carrying $17.5 million in debt, leaving the party roughly $3.5 million in the red.
Party leaders are said to be “privately alarmed” by the state of the finances.By contrast, the RNC is sitting on a $95.1 million war chest and reports no debt.
Their report states:
Without a president to headline events, the party that does not hold the White House often struggles to raise money in its main national committee.
Tech titans unite

Tech titans have mobilized against California’s proposed 5% billionaire tax —- and no wonder, as the tax could strip some of the state’s richest inventors of controlling interests in the companies they founded.
The moguls’ effort, dubbed Building a Better California, points anew to state government’s failure to prioritize the public good over gluttonous special interests.
It also affirms the need for Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislators — and their voracious public union allies — to stop chasing wealth, jobs and people from the once-Golden State.
Already, the proposed billionaire tax, led by SEIU United Healthcare Workers West, has caused a wealth and talent drain as Larry Page,
Somehow, the entertainment media has become even more hateful, bigoted, bubbled, elitist, dishonest, and useless than the corporate political media.

As of this writing, Melania, a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, which has already taken the box office crown for the best documentary opening weekend in a decade, has a six percent rotten score over at Rotten Tomatoes.
The Normal People score, however, sits at 98 percent fresh.
That’s a 92 percent gap between Normal People and Corrupt Critics.
It’s Saturday, and I got TV to watch, so I’m not going to do the research, but my memory tells me that is the biggest gap in the history of Rotten Tomatoes.
A US judge delivered a blow Saturday to Minnesota’s bid to force Immigration and Customs Enforcement to suspend its sweeping detention and deportation operation in the state that has left two US citizens dead and fueled massive protests.But while the federal court denied the state’s bid to immediately halt the operation, a judge in a separate case delivered a stinging rebuke of the government and ordered authorities to release a five-year-old Minnesota boy and his father who were detained during the immigration crackdown.The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently—

Sacramento is pervaded by a culture of corruption.
Fake non-profit organizations that win public grants. So-called “infrastructure” projects that never get built, but always get funded.
Public corruption charges tied to the governor’s inner circle. “Behested payments” to politicians’ pet causes and to charities run by their families.
A recent and troubling example involves lobbyist Greg Campbell, who pleaded guilty to federal charges last December, and, allegedly, Dana Williamson, Governor Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff. Both Campbell and Williamson were publicly celebrated for their political skills before their respective falls from grace.

The United Nations is going broke and needs member nations to stump up cash. Lots of it. That is the plea from Secretary-General António Guterres who fears the globalist body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees.
The former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party said Friday the U.N. faces a financial crisis which was “deepening, threatening programme delivery” and money could run out as soon as July leaving the unaccountable globalist cabal destitute.
Such is the financial drama unfolding at U.N. headquarters in Geneva, signs warning of the situation have reportedly been put up everywhere.
California drivers and Republican legislators are furious over a Democrat-led proposal that could see motorists taxed for each mile they drive.
With the state staring down a budget deficit in the billions and more Californians switching to electric vehicles, Democratic lawmakers are searching for new ways to shore up declining gas tax revenue.
Californians pay the second-highest gas price in the nation behind only Hawaii. In January, the average price was $4.23 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association. On Thursday, state legislators advanced Democrat Lori Wilson’s bill, AB 1421, which would direct the California Transportation Commission and the state Transportation Agency to continue studying options for a mileage-based tax,
Democratic Texas Senate candidate Taylor Rehmet defeated Trump-endorsed Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a Saturday special election for a seat the president won by double digits three times, multiple outlets project.
Rehmet, a union leader and Air Force veteran, won 57.2% of the vote compared to Wambsganss’s 42.8%, with 95% of the vote in, according to The Associated Press (AP). Texas Senate District 9 — which is entirely based in Tarrant County and includes parts of Fort Worth and Arlington — was last represented by former Republican State Sen. Kelly Hancock who resigned in June 2025 to work for the Texas Comptroller’s Office. Under its current boundaries, District 9 voted for Trump
The British countryside is in the midst of a diversity drive after a government-commissioned report found it was too 'white' and 'middle-class'. Officials charged with managing some of the country's best known beauty spots have laid out a series of proposals aimed at attracting minorities. In the wake of the report, officials representing National Landscapes - including the Cotswolds and Chilterns - have now published a series of management plans that detail their proposals to attract more minority communities. The Chiltern National Landscape will launch an outreach programme in Luton and High Wycombe targeted at Muslims.
Few things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an "Internal Town Hall" when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings. It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term "illegal alien" despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law. The left-leaning Daily Beast went into further detail about the CNN town hall/struggle session/confrontation on Friday

Democrats in the Washington state legislature are pushing a proposal that establishes a list of demographic groups that are presumed to be “socially disadvantaged” for the purposes of state business certification. Based on the breadth of those categories, roughly 70 percent of Washington state residents would fall under the bill’s definition of “socially disadvantaged.” Under existing statute, the Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises (OMWBE) defines a “socially disadvantaged individual” as someone who has experienced racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society due to group identity, stemming from circumstances beyond the individual’s control. The agency may also determine social disadvantage on a case-by-case basis.
Just two years ago, Mary Barra, chief executive of General Motors, declared: “We believe in an all-electric future.” She went on to claim that the challenges her company was facing in the EV market were merely temporary bumps on the road to net zero. But as Bob Dylan famously observed, things have changed.
On Jan. 8, GM announced it would take a $7.1 billion hit in charges against its earnings, of which $6 billion is due to Barra’s failed EV strategy. In a filing with the SEC, the company also warned that it would take more write-downs this year as part of a “strategic realignment of EV capacity.”
The Abigail Spanberger Bait-and-Switch
17 replies
During the 2025 gubernatorial election the voters of Virginia believed they were choosing between pragmatic Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger and lackluster Republican Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The former was well funded and portrayed favorably by the corporate “news” media as a centrist, while the latter struggled to raise money and was labeled an extremist because of her strong support of gun rights. Spanberger won by double digits and most Virginians thought they were getting a slightly more liberal governor than her predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. Yet the moment she took office, it became obvious that Gov. Spanberger was no moderate.
Chloe Day School, a “progressive” public preschool in New York City, staged an anti-ICE protest and held anti-Trump signs in the classroom.
“The Chloe Day School and Wellness Center is a public preschool and wellness space that takes a progressive approach to learning, child development, and family empowerment,” Chloe Day School says.
“We believe children are naturally curious and capable of making meaningful discoveries when given opportunities to explore, play, and engage with their environment,” the school says.
“Children thrive best when supported by strong and healthy families,” they said.
The federal government is set to end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Haitians on Feb. 3.
This means some Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, Ohio, will no longer be able to work or live legally in the United States. City officials estimate that about 12,000-15,000 Haitian people live in Springfield.
A U.S. District Court judge is currently reviewing whether to suspend the expiration of TPS for Haitians.
TPS is granted by the Department of Homeland Security for people from specific countries deemed unsafe, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website.
The expiration of TPS is fueling concerns in Springfield
