Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as a leader and a candidate forged his reputation disapproving of Donald J. Trump, but his own approval rating in his state has now dipped below that of the president whom he has consistently targeted. The former vice presidential candidate continues to lose support over revelations of the massive fraud scandal that was underway during his watch, Fox News Digital reported.

He is not unpopular because he is a crook. He is unpopular because he got caught. Dems expect corruption, they just don't like bad press.

So what will the residents of MN do about it? Little Miss Klobuchar is the Dem candidate for Governor and she'll probably win in a landslide. The Senate race is also favorable for Dems despite them putting forth some truly nutburger candidates.

Unsuccessful 2024 Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris says the word “hope” should be “changed to a verb.” One problem with that. It already is. Hope can be used as both a noun and a verb. Don Lemon, her host on his podcast that appeared over the weekend, did not point that out. But those on social media, where the comment has gone viral, did as the sound bite was reposted on numerous X accounts. “It’s a noun: ‘I have hope that she never runs for any government office again,’” one user posted to X.

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) of the United Kingdom announced on Friday that it had decided to temporarily suspend Karim Khan, formerly the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), as the ICC addresses allegations that Khan engaged in “non-consensual” sexual activity with a colleague. The allegations first came to light in late 2024 after Khan had developed a reputation for an aggressive approach that resulted in the international court issuing warrants for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Justice Department is indicating it will intervene in a lawsuit filed in New York by Catholic nuns after the state forced them to house biological men with women. (snip) The New York law requires long-term care facilities to provide rooms to transgender residents based on their “gender identity” rather than their biological sex, and forces facility staff to use preferred pronouns and names. Catholic teaching says that biological sex is God-given and cannot be changed, and doing so is a form of lying. The nuns who run Rosary Hill Home place patients in single-sex rooms based on their biological sex

The Obama Presidential Center finally opened to the public on Friday (not that you care), and the verdict from the internet was swift and brutal. People are calling it a "monstrous insult to architecture," a "concrete nightmare," and simply a "monstrosity." Social media has spent the week comparing the thing to a trash can and a dystopian movie set, which, having seen the photos, feels generous. It’s hideous. Naturally, the man who helped design the building's most mocked feature has a different take. Chris Bird, the Washington structural engineer who designed the upper portion of the center's towering centerpiece,

Ive been writing about electric vehicles since 2011, not because I have any objection to them or those that buy them. I just don’t want to pay for others’ greenie virtue signaling. Fortunately, with the end of the Biden Administration, the EV death spiral has nearly reached its inevitable, final crash. EVs were never ready for prime time. They were never sufficiently flexible to replace conventionally powered vehicles, particularly for single-car families. They’ve always been a niche product, purchased mostly by the top 7% of households in income, particularly because they were far more expensive than conventional vehicles in the same classes. Those folks had all the conventional vehicles they wanted

California’s Public Utilities Commission is pressuring the state’s regulated utilities — PG&E, Southern California Edison, SoCalGas, and others — to steer roughly $633 million in annual procurement toward businesses certified as “LGBT-owned.” Under General Order 156, as expanded by Assembly Bill 1678 in 2014 and given numerical targets in a 2022 CPUC decision, large utilities must pursue aspirational goals of 1.5 percent of their spending with firms at least 51 percent owned and controlled by lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender individuals.
