We dodged a bullet!

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz failed the people of Minnesota once again! First it was the welfare scandal, now one of the inmates in the Minnesota early release program has absconded!

In 2023 Walz signed the Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act (MRRA). A 23-year-old Vance Marie Nin was released in September and is gone in December! Nin also has a previous conviction for assault!

Good ol’ Elmer Fudd copied another bad policy (soft on crime) despite his state burning down in 2020! Walz is looking to run again in 2026. And Minnesota, go ahead and vote for him. The rest of America doesn’t want him!

Get your mind out of the gutter!

During the government shutdown, the folks at the Health and Human Services (HHS) made some modifications to one of the pictures in HHS Headquarters. Former Assistant Secretary for the US Health and Human Services (HHS) and Admiral in the US Public Health Service Richard “Rachel” Levine had his portrait changed. The portrait listed Secretary Levine as “Rachel.” Well, after the most recent shutdown, the portrait recognizes Admiral Levine as “Richard.”

Levine was an absolute horrendous choice as Assistant Secretary of HHS. As a sailor he has more kills than the entire SEAL Team Six. As Secretary of Health for Pennsylvania Levine said it was fine for senior citizens with COVID to be in nursing homes while pulling his own mother out of her health facility during the pandemic sending thousands of Pennsylvania seniors to their death! Then there’s the fact Levine supported children removing their genitals for “gender-affirming care.” A medical doctor supporting adolescents removing their genitals, breasts and taking hormones because they want to be another gender!? This is nothing but insanity!

Then there’s Levine’s appearance! He looks like a man trying to dress in drag for improv comedy. No effort whatsoever. Levine is an absolute disgrace to the medical field and to HHS.

Good news for the residents, commuters and visitors in the District of Columbia. Metropolitan Polce Department Chief Pamela Smith announced her resignation at the end of the year. Thank God. Her tenure has been a disaster. Crime has been skyrocketing, retention and recruitment has been dismal and Donald Trump was so upset with DC looking like Mad Max, he sent in the National Guard!

Chief Smith is proof positive that DEI does not work. Especially in law enforcement! The flavor of the month in law enforcement is to have women, especially women of color put in leadership positions. How’s did that work out!? Some of the boo boos include; Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge who is on administrative leave as of October 2025, Anne Kirkpatrick in New Orleans, Cerelyn “CJ” Davis in Memphis and there was the head of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle who was in charge when Donald Trump was almost assassinated. But; there was Keechant Sewell who was New York’s Police Commissioner. She was doing a bang-up job but got sick of Mayor Adams and his foolishness and left New York.

As for Smith, she was abysmal. Crime out of control. No recruitment, no retention despite handsome sign on bonus’! Then MPD is accused of “juking the stats” like so many other big city police departments. Then there was the appearance of Washington’s Finest. Sloppy uniforms, beards, man buns, wild hair styles on the ladies and way too many cops looking like the before photo for Ozempic or Jenny Craig! It was under Smith’s watch that Scoop Stanton’s car was stolen. The crooks left the car and Scoop got 14 camera tickets! You would think that DC would use those cameras to track stolen cars. Nope!

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani released a video on how to evade ICE to illegal immigrants! This genius is telling illegal aliens to stand up against ICE! Here’s the thing. Illegal aliens are not allowed to vote. But were talking New York City, so who knows!?

According to city records there are 412,000 illegal aliens in Gotham. New York is facing issues as housing shortages, strain on the welfare system, and a skyrocketing crime problem. So, if ICE deports 412,000 people, that means 412,000 beds become available, creating more housing. The children of the 412,000 may leave town leaving more room and recourses for New York City schools. As for the crime problem, many of the 412,000 would not be clogging the criminal justice system, leaving New York’s Finest fighting the domestic mutts!
