Democrats in the Cheeze Barrel with Walz

By John Kass

Sunday, Jan. 11, 2025

How should Americans consider Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, hounded by at least $9 billion in state welfare fraud that he ignored for years–and his endless spasms of white guilt while caving to his Somali fraudsters?

The Somalis relied on a tactic used by generations of black political types in America. It was used successfully by black political figures against white liberals who might look too closely into their fat political and governmental contracts. It was the threat by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Harold Washington to use accusations of white racism to silence legitimate inquiry. Because in the history of American politics there is no creature as malleable as a white Democrat politician or white liberal journalist afraid of being called a racist.

And Twana Brawley’s press agent, the Rev. Al  Sharpton, the notorious race  hustler, used this trick.  White liberal reporters were particularly at risk. But he had to go and trash “all them Greek homos.”  He barked like a mad dog, and it was then that I stopped caring about what idiotic black racists would say:

“White folks was in the caves when we was building empires.” said Sharpton.  “We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

And now Democrats continue kneeling and bending and scraping, seeking favor and protection from the accusation, just as Walz bends and scrapes and seeks favor from the Somalis stealing from his taxpayers and all the rest of us.

 

 

As the Minnesota Welfare Fraud grew and grew, the issue ignored by corporate legacy media such as the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Minnesota Somalis threatened Democrat state workers there and potential whistleblowers to protect their Democrat Welfare Industrial Complex. And Walz, also frightened into compliance, threatened other whistleblowers into silence, according to Congressional testimony.

It leeched into other blue states.

Walz was desperately in need of something to change the subject. I imagine Walz as a fat white mouse who’d fallen into a barrel of cream, Walz frantically moving those pudgy jazz hands of his to keep from drowning.

He swims frantically to survive, changing the subject from Democrat fraud as the Soros Left violently impedes the federal government and immigration law, like those Southern nullificationists led years ago by pro-slavery firebrand John C. Calhoun leading to the Civil War.

It should be clear that the left wants anti-ICE protesters to die so they can protect their fraud with riots. And it is also clear that the Democratic left’s narrative about the shooting in Minneapolis has been obliterated by the facts as you can see on video.

All they’ve been doing is fueling the leftist rage. But a woman is dead. Her name was Renee Nicole Good, a leftist anti-ICE protester who tried to run down a federal agent with her car. She refused a federal officers order to exit from the vehicle. I’m sorry she died, but she was an AWFL, an Angry White Female Leftist. She foolishly gave her life to protect Walz, the progressive anarchy and to help cover up the $9 billion in Minnesota fraud that threatens Democrats in the mid-term elections.

In his dystopian novel “1984” George Orwell identified the phenomenon of the AWFLs like Renee Nicole Good:

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

 

Her death allowed the white rodent in the barrel of cream to change the subject, as least for the weekend. He vowed he would not resign. He’s the Democrat poster boy now, though rest assured that corporate legacy media will protect him. History shows us that the Bolshevik left has always been about violence and force, from the bludgeoning of the Mensheviks to the ground in Russia, to the point of developing the assassination culture in America that killed Charlie Kirk

And now the bludgeoning of legitimate government, as the Somali crooks count their money, and send it back to Somalia and reportedly the terrorist group al Shabab, as weaklings like Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey use our money to buy them votes and power and Somalis like U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar laugh at them and at us.

What Walz wants is to churn all that cream into butter, so that Walz (the Democrat Party’s nominee for Vice President of the United States in 2024) can distance himself from the massive fraud and walking out on his tiny mouse feet.

The white rodent with massive amounts of cheeze, applauded by Somali gangsters.

His prayers were answered by a deranged leftist social justice warrior Renee Nicole Good who used her car as a weapon hunting federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents and got herself shot dead for her troubles.

By her death she changed the subject, but only for a while. According to The New York Post, Good, who moved to the city last year, “linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.”

For years I’ve seen such women, AWFLs, seething with anger, serving as advance shock troops for Democrats. You see them at college campuses, hunting Jewish students, shrieking “From the river to the sea!!!” Good was a professional leftist agitator determined to stop lawful enforcement of the law.  And she is like the radicals on the Confederate side in the 1850s spoiling for war. Is that what you want? War? Another Bloody Kansas?

 

 

“She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post at a growing vigil where Good was killed Wednesday.

Democrats created the conditions that led to the fatal shooting in Minneapolis, and they are now capitalizing on the chaos.

It’s all been a distraction from the massive fraud. Yes Walz absolutely knew, witnesses said.  But the hard left and their media cheerleaders are intent on confusing the American people.

They did the same when the Democrat left began to destroy the cities in the so-called “Summer of Love” in 2020. When the Democrat left burned the cities, and police were killed and established businesses were destroyed as the left put the cities through hell in hopes of taking out President Donald Trump. They won the election. That’s how they roll. Angry force.

Back then I called out the Soros left with a Tribune column “Something grows in the big cities run by Democrats: an overwhelming sense of lawlessness.” The left had a fit. And that nationally syndicated column resulted in my unfair defamation from the leftist union in my own newsroom, but I refused to back down to the Jacobin mob at the Chicago Tribune.

I would not apologize.

Now, the Democrats are pushing for more violence to distract from what is coming: a thorough federal examination of welfare and other fraud in blue states. The violence escalates as the Democrats hunt federal I.C.E. officers. They want blood. And sadly, they’ll get their heart’s desire as anguish settles over America. The left threatens more violence if they don’t get what they want.

And what do they want?

They want the American borders open as they were under Biden, with violent gangs streaming across. House Democrats have already called for blood to galvanize their supporters. They want the fraud to continue unimpeded and for taxpayers to pay for all of it billions and billions and billions. The left wants the end of ICE.  They want to gut the immigration laws, not by petitioning Congress for lawful change, but by using the fist to break a face.

The left wants what it wants: Control. And if you don’t give it to them, they’ll scream, supported by the American leftist corporate legacy media like the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, CNN and MS Now.

If you vote Democrat now, know that you’re endorsing all of this.

And the American anguish continues until the point when the American people  stand up and vote “No.” When they say they won’t shut up and take it anymore.

  1. Watching the news, or reading what passes for news in most outlets these days in the Post-Renee Nicole Good era is like watching Game of Thrones. Armies of zombies appear to do battle with ICE, paid for by NGOs and organized by Maoists.
    People without purpose and the undead of the media really make a mess planet earth.
    Winter is here.

      1. Thanks Pat, winter is indeed here. Thank God for the Chicago Bears and hopefully the Chicago Blackhawks for providing an alternative sports option to the grueling media spectacle of the ghouls “Thelma and Louise” deadly antics. I really learned this weekend of the value of watching live sports as a break from the media porn storm of displaying the childish freak show of the “Armies of the Night” in Minneapolis and beyond.
        John, lighten up Francis, “not that there is anything wrong” with it.

  2. So sad as to what the Democrats have allowed to happen to America. They got rich while the Poor got poorer and the guilt they brough about the Voter is Evil. The Minority groups are destroying America they are stealing it blind and the people do not seem to care until the day will come and they will regret it what they have Voted for and it will be too late for America and them. The Voters for Democrats not the Republicans are any better have allowed this to happen. If they care so much take in the poor and feed them, and cloth them and give them your homes and your cars and they can live like your family in your homes. Of coarse none of you are doing this. Bogus I tell you. Spoiled, no respect any more in so many young people spoil by the rich Fathers that worked so hard to give them a Free Education, and Free everything. We are to blame for that the Parents.

    1. Helen, the rich parents, both the mothers and fathers are fools. The free education only breeds a sense of entitlement. Something that is not earned by honest labor and work is taken for granted and disrespected. The fools are the parents who too lazy to do what has to be done – show some courage and do the right thing and teach the same to their children instead of taking the easy way out – tolerating disrespect and using their money to make up for their lack of courage.

      1. Another great column John. Once again the left would rather see an Ice Agent run over than than doing his job to keep us safe. I read they had a go-fund me page for the Ms. Good that that collected approximately 1.5 million dollars until it was shut down. Apparently now her 3 children will get the money. Sadly, Ms. Good should have been thinking about her children instead of ICE and covering for Waltz.

  3. Good column, and too true. Thank goodness for the decline of the mainstream media audience. Fragmented as social media sources are, at least alternative narratives get out. I look at these protestors and see the same sort of faces I saw in college in the ’70s ready to turn out with full costume and professionally made signs to protest – anything. Too many are my age [66]. I remember a protest against ‘institutional racism’ where about 10-15 of the usual suspects turned out, but they lined up near the Brower Commons [Rutgers cafeteria] at lunch time while a very large Biology 101 class in the neighboring bldg let out. Their friends in the press angled the camera to include the lunch line and that exiting class [2-3 protestors strategically placed among them] to give the impression that the protest was huge. It worked so well the FBI had people showing up for the ‘follow-up’ protest the next week. They were laughing as they saw how few protestors there were. I saw few reports about the ‘supporting protest’ in NYC but few pointed out that fewer than 100 people turned out [it was raining]. Most just gave a narrow shot to hide the small size. How many outlets are gaslighting the video above? Thank God they no longer monopolize the flow of info anymore. Thank goodness for outlets like this1

  4. Thanks John for this column.

    It’s been a long slow march by the other side. That’s planned. Their ideas seep under the door like sewer backup. You may not notice til your socks get wet or the odor of raw sewage hits you.

    The sewage of governors, mayors and representatives that harbor, enable or encourage the illegal immigration, the theft or fraud with OUR TAX DOLLARS, the promoting of violence against America and we of the middle class should be prosecuted. In Illinois Pritzker should be forced to replenish the State Treasury with his OWN money to pay back all the tax dollars he’s spending illegals.

    But the sanctuary state did not start with him. Wasn’t it Rahmses here in Chicago that opened the door?

    The left does not have warriors. They have thugs massed together to bully the meek.

  6. Mr. Kass, all I can say is spot on! My daughter and ex-wife, aren’t even talking to me anymore. All I said was, were was your outrage when Ashley Babbitt was shot on Jan 6? We have lost our way John, and I don’t know if we will ever right this ship again. We need to before it is too late. I am glad I am an old man of 68 and with any luck won’t see the collapse of our great republic.

  7. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey claimed the agent walked away with a hop in his step, and suggested the injury was comparable to getting hit closing a fridge door. Referring to the agent struck by the automobile driven by the deceased.
    Mr. Mayor just how stupid are you?
    Thank you for your column.

  8. Great article JK. Love the Sharpton/Tawana Brawley reminder. About 17 years ago, a very disturbed man was shot by the CPD on the Southwest Side. Unfortunately, “Suicide by Cops.” Sharpton was at the airport in NYC almost immediately, on his way to Chicago to represent the “victim’s” family when he heard the decedent was white. Sharpton didn’t get on the plane to Chicago; he immediately went home.
    As for Walz and the evil leftists, you got to hand it to them- they got the twofer with the death of Ms. Good: a national Martyr and a state-wide (albeit temporary) distraction from the Somali fraud.

  9. When did “Minnesota Nice” become Minnesota Neurotic? When did “Wisconsin, The Dairy State” become Wisconsin, The Democrat Demagoguery State? When did “Illinois, The Land of Lincoln” become Illinois The Land of Little Lunatic Mayors And An Enormous Empty Governor?

    I still love my Midwest, though it’s showing signs of corn rot. But we can still cheer about great columns on JKN and the Fourth Quarter Fantasy Bears!

  11. Meanwhile our Adolph Trump is going to invade our ‘Sudetenland,’ ie, Greenland
    for more living space for our Volk. Ya, ya ya. Will you send your 2 precious sons to fight for that country, John? Will they help invade Cuba, Columbia, etc.? Hmmmm. I didn’t think so.
    That women shouldn’t been shot. She should have taken to one of those camps where ‘WORK MAKES YOU FREE’. Oh I forgot, those camps aren’t established, YET,
    SEIG HEIL, FUHRER TRUMP, SEIG HEIL!

    3. Thomas. Yes, some of Mr. Trump’s policies do raise profound constitutional issues. For instance, the Constitution says that while the President as commander in chief can make war, only the Congress can declare war. And since FDR this issue has been a major constitutional sticking point. Every President since the advent of the War Powers Act has declared that act unconstitutional. So yeah Mr. Trump raises some big time constitutional issues, but not really unique within historical context. What I find disturbing about your post is equating Mr. Trump with Adolph Hitler. Half my father’s family was wiped out in the ovens of eastern Europe. There are no trains here is the US taking dissidents to gas chambers as there were in Eastern Europe under Hitler. There are no governmental thought police (ironically they existed – or almost did – under Mr. Biden and the Democrats). You are still free to say what you want and not fear incarceration (not true in the UK however). In fact most of the threats now regarding our freedoms are from our social justice warriors on the left as they advocate for the “warmth” of collectivism (Stalin called these folks useful idiots … or was it Lenin?). And one other thing to keep in mind when you make the leap of Trump to Hitler equivalence. Germany and Eastern Europe under Hitler did something historically unique. They created a human extermination industrial complex. Surely you cannot possibly believe that is the case here in the USA. If so, you truly are severely delusional.

      1. Although not Jewish, my relatives in Poland hid their Jewish neighbors in their farm when the country was invaded. Then they were ‘ratted out’ and the Stukas were sent in bombing the farm and machine gunning them and their Jewish neighbors as they ran to the woods for cover. Most didnt make it..

  12. Governor Timpon may even have been vetted to VP with Harris because of his newly green fingers and not despite them.
    Many of the paid protestors are most likely yet cashing taxpayer-funded checks. Mentally ill AWFLs don’t like kings but they demand veto power from but one individual.
    Like Elmer Fudd Walz peppering away at Fort Sumter with a shotgun he can’t load.

  13. Thou doth beclown thy self, whenever you claim to know the first thing about the South. But keep it up.

    Otherwise Kass is the Bobby Orr of journalism. Offense, defense, even goalie. And Orr fought anyone

  14. For some time now the masses have been instructed by left that Trump is bad and nothing he says or does is worth a whit. The left forgets so many events like invasions bombings and deportations that were never protested under Dem Administrations. Now they protest (hmmm how do nicely printed signs show up mere hours after an event?) Do they have offset printers in speed dial? Who is paying for that work. Besides Soros likely PACs funded via diverted tax monies (hey ask the Somalis for a crash course in fraud). News clip yesterday about a grocery store in MSP with six or seven other “stores” within. I’ll bet all of them are claiming expenses for the entire operation for SBA or other federal subsidies. Ain’t America Grand.
    Now on a happy note the Bears pulled off a fourth quarter miracle and the Hawks kicked Nashville’s butt. The call up from Rockford Ice Hogs got a shutout and made some great saves against the rival Preds (not as longstanding as the Bears and Packers but pretty heated) . Several fights on the ice last night too.
    The entrenched left politicians and grifters know Trump is out to ferret out corruption. That they cannot abide.

  15. Excellent comments ( excluding Mr Rudd) for all – I especially liked David Bittinger’s. GREAT Column John. On point on all of it. I was born a few days after D Day, grew up in the 50’s-60’s, am a Veteran and never thought this country would be in this condition on so many fronts. Praying for more eyes to open.

      1. Excellent, Mark! A much earlier comment on the subject:

        “Find out the cause of this effect,
        Or rather say, the cause of this defect,
        For this effect defective comes by cause.”

        — WS, “Hamlet”

  16. The Soros left set this woman up and it is tragic. They actively sought a “martyr” for the cause, so they could mobilize their paid demonstration infrastructure to show “faux” outrage. (I have demonstrated from time to time, but would be incensed if someone even offered to pay me. My political convictions are not for sale.) But it reminds me of Horst Wessel. He was a Brownshirt. He was killed in a fight over a harlot. Garbidge (Charlie Chaplin’s name for Goebbels in the Great Dictator) seized the moment and declared him a Nazi martyr created by the Communists The result was the Horst Wessel song, the anthem of the German Nazi Party. It has a truly great tune, but the words are appalling and it is banned in Germany. German Nazi refugees in South America like to sing it at their gatherings Which Democrat will seize the initiative, as Garbidge, did and compose a Ruth Goode ballad? Why does an illiterate and utterly ignorant man like Al Sharpton have a T.V. program?

  17. “They did the same when the Democrat left began to destroy the cities in the so-called “Summer of Love” in 2020. When the Democrat left burned the cities, and police were killed and established businesses were destroyed as the left put the cities through hell in hopes of taking out President Donald Trump. They won the election.”
    As we move to the critical mid-term elections… Unfortunately, this crap works.

  18. The AWFULS, radicals, and lefties are very big on protesting government “oppression” and nullification of federal laws they don’t like. They certainly don’t like law enforcement or immigration laws.You would think they would be going after the IRS and the Tax Man too. The IRS is truly a form of governmental oppression & terror right? Perhaps they don’t mind the IRS so much as it serves to demand and collect the taxes that roll in to fund the entitlements, welfare state, NGO’s, and freebies that the Left is so fond of. Just wondering. Another good column John,,,they are all good.

  19. To many of the protesters and rioters, the cause may be a tag-along, just doesn’t matter what it is. Rather, it’s an occasion for them to try to give meaning to their otherwise seemingly meaningless lives. “Hey, look at me, I now matter, I’m in the news.” It’s about them, not the cause de Jour. The collateral damage they do is lost to the healing they’re trying to do.

  20. Synagogue burned to the ground in Jackson MS. News article “thinks” it could be a hate crime. Gee, I wonder who might want to burn down a place of worship frequented by a group that has been tormented by hate across generations? The last time this place of worship was hit was 1967, but the Democrats because the Rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights.

    I have seen the exact same things John wrote about. It was one of the reasons I left Chicago. I calculated about whether to fight, or go somewhere else. It seemed the fight in Illinois would last about 20-30 years, and I would be too old to enjoy the fruits of victory. I moved to Nevada.

    Nevada has creeping Democratic socialism too. It started in 202o with the gerrymander. Similar to Madigan, the Democrats gerrymandered the entire state. They love mail in balloting, ballot harvesting and drop boxes.

    What they didn’t count on was a huge crop of people like me moving in from Illinois, NY, Conn, California, Oregon, Washington and other blue states. That allowed a good common sense Republican candidate to win for governor in 2022.

    Elections are close and getting closer despite the gerrymander. In 2030, it will be possible to undo it if Republicans keep momentum.

    I decided to get off the bench. My friends said when I left Illinois not to sit on my hands. I am running for State Treasurer. People like us who are normal citizens have to get our hands dirty if we are going to stop the socialists. We have to get our arms around the levers of power and make sure they aren’t used for fraud like we saw in Minnesota, but we know happens everywhere.

    Downballot races are becoming nationalized and matter. Soros famously tried to get all the Secretary of State and AG offices, and now they are funding local judge races. Any support you can give me helps. https://secure.winred.com/jeffrey-carter-for-nevada-531b0a14/donate-today. The alternative is to have a Democratic socialist sitting in the seat, spending your Illinois tax dollars that get sent to Nevada on stuff you don’t like.

    1. Congrats & Good Luck Jeff! I am also running for elected office for the first time. I moved to Michigan City, Indiana from Cook County 6 years ago and 100% felt at that time that MC was trending in the right direction (low taxes, low regulation, pro-business, etc.). Today, thanks to a Dem mayor and Dem City Council/One Party rule, the City of MC and much of LaPorte County is trending in the WRONG direction (higher taxes, higher utility costs, 62% increase in property tax in 5 years, NEW Automobile tax, free bus rides for all, increase in homeless on the streets of MC, etc.). I am running as a Republican for LaPorte County Council, District 2 and need everybody’s help. I stand for NO NEW County Taxes, NO New County Spending that increases taxes and I will promote a 2% Property Tax CAP for seniors and those on fixed incomes for their primary residence.
      LaPorte County (Pine Lake, South Shore Railroad, MC, Lake Michigan Beaches, Gateway to Notre Dame, etc.) has always served as a type of pressure relief valve for Chicagoans fleeing high taxes, crime and Dem mismanagement and hypocrisy. (Forget about Long Beach IN, home of the FIBS and the LIBS from Chicago – LB is the usual basket case of conflicted Dems). If we are not careful, that escape valve in MC & Laporte County, IN will soon cease to exist.

        1. Thanks Jeff. Good luck to you!

          BTW, I attended a wonderful Conservative rally Saturday night featuring Scott Presler, the man who helped register 160k new conservative voters in PA which helped PDJT carry PA in 2024. Mr. Presler recommends targeting hunters, truck drivers and evangelicals for new voter registration and early voting. Early voting is the key; don’t wait until election day which is what our side typically does (e.g. See Arizona/Maricopa County voting glitch on election day, Nov, 2022).

  21. There is no “left” there is no “right”. It only exists online, in the colleges, and in what passes for media. This culture war has been funded by oligarchs who seek to pit us against each other.

    I’ll take your Soros and raise you a Musk, a Zuckerberg, a Gates, a Bezos, all of whom collect more government than all the Somalis and Reagan welfare queens whom drive a Caddy ever did.

    Do the Democrats stink? Just ask Chicago Turns Red. I saw a great video of a woman dressing down the City Council of Chicago. Trump did not mismanage pensions, Trump did not empty the jails, Trump did not make crime legal. All of this is true. All of this was aided, abetted, and funded in part by Soros.

    Kass, the Pentagon cannot pass an audit. Hasn’t for years. When is the last time the Federal budget was balanced? You have to go back 25 years. This is the real hustle. Use the culture wars, gin up racism. All you need to hear is that mope Sharpton and you will side with Trump? The Good woman was central casting AWFL, so screw her? Did she deserve to die?

    Now you peddle this divide bullshit. “Us” vs. “them”. We are all Americans brother. Let’s throw them all out. Why not start a new party based on common sense?

    But then you’d fall for the culture war trap, just like the liberals do. Liberals let thousands of people get shot in Chicago ands hundred of children murdered just since Johnson has been Mayor. They let people like Walz bribe them with their own money, and then call you a racist when you question.

    Well, I see the same tactics, cancel culture being played by the other side too. Why not get off this train and push for peace?

    Instead of kissing Ken Griffin’s ass and asking him to fund an opponent to Pritzker, why not work and help Ted defeat him with ideas? That’s what Ted is trying to do. Ted needs exposure.

    Why not have the Chicago Turns Red people on the podcast? See if you can get Willie Wilson on board and find a candidate to take on Johnson with a reform platform rooted in public safety, government accountability, and increasing the supply of habitable apartments in the City? Paul Vallas has all this institutional knowledge. He’s written solid position papers on fixing the city’s biggest issues.

    Stop dwelling in the resentment of leaving the “paper” and propose the reforms needed to make things better.

    How Sharpton is held up as some kind of sage on MSNBC is unbelievable. But our presidents from both parties have pardoned some pretty disgusting people over the years.

    There is a vast middle out there. Who believe in personal freedom and who want to help people but do not want to keep getting ripped off by charlatans. Pritzker is a thief, a liar, a hustler. He can be taken down with his own words and policies.

    Trump narrowed his margin by half in Illinois. He has squandered any good will from the middle and has only fed zealots and those who love war. The Democrats are not any better. We need a new party.

    This current two party system has run its course. It is bankrupting us. Greek homos notwithstanding, we have to move beyond the culture wars. Sharpton only has power if you listen to him.

    1. Hey gas bag. Why don’t you shut the F up and take your own advice: get off your big fat sanctimonious ass, and do some of the things you’re telling John to do? If you know anything about American politcs – and it seems you don’t – you’d know a lot of the “action” is down ballot or local. So get off you duff, get your fingers dirty, get some signatures and do the dirty work of democracy. Ya think?

      1. Bruce is right. No matter where you stand. RUN FOR OFFICE. Especially the Average Joe. It’s quite educational and you don’t need to spend the money.
        I ran for coroner and spent maybe a grand and won.
        Do it. You will learn alot about politics and those in it. It can even be fun.

        1. Thomas.I criticize you a lot. And we often disagree. But the ONE thing I admire about you: you put your ass on the line. You did not just gas bag away like so many others, you actually ran for office. And served in office as well. And then when the going got rough – where others would have rolled over like meek puppy dogs for a belly rub – you stood up for righteous principle and honesty at considerable risk to your finances and potentially even your freedom. Very few of us here can say that.

          Besides running for office one can get involved in supporting their candidates at a grass roots level as well. As you know this also involves, time and money. And work: like getting signatures on freezing cold days. And maybe even fighting off the petition challenges from political opponents. Besides, that there are also many local referenda that have enormous community effect if passed (or not) – that also involve a lot of basic nitty gritty work. Most of the politics that affect us – day to day – is indeed local.

          1. Bruce
            And I paid the price. Because of my stupid error of signing petition sheets I didn’t circulate/witness signatures I was indicted and was looking at 10 to 25 years in jail. I was under the impression i could do that. 20 states in this country allowed that. What’s interesting here are 2 points. The states attorney ‘criminalize’ election code to a felony. But what’s even more interesting is that when my petitions were challenged and this error pointed out I WITHDREW MY PETITIONS AND CANDIDACY BEFORE THE BOARD HAD A CHANCE TO RULE ON MY CASE. So I never got on the ballot. And so I am the only candidate in the history of our country’s judicial election code/law cases to have been indicted for election fraud despite never being on the ballot!? This error cost me over $100k to defend myself which I somewhat won. I pled to a misdemeanor to election code, not criminal code, and promised not to run for office for 7 years.
            Final point. After withdrawing I ran as an independent write in candidate. Instead of needing to get 800 signatures to get on the ballot I need 10,000 signatures. I got 15,000 signatures in 3 months.
            But I lost.
            Proving: no good deed goes unpunished!?

        2. Thomas. Yeah. I was involved in one petition drive for a referenda, and was surprised by the nuances, logistics and work involved – and actually was stunned by the potential severity of the penalties involved for “non compliance” regarding signatures. We collected over 4000 signatures in 2.5 weeks. We were challenged. Legal fees. The whole nine yards. Eventually after running the legal gauntlet we prevailed over the challengers. But that of course was only the beginning.

  22. I’d like to learn more about how Renee Good got radicalized. A 37 year old mother of 3 becomes a lesbian than an SJW. Or perhaps it was the other way around. Her lesbian wife acted tough, taunting an armed ICE agent. Her tool must be bigger than Mayor Phallus Maximus. So certain she is on the right side of history.

    These people live in an alternate reality. They’ve watched too many movies where the petite female heroine wins a fight against and armed male cop twice her size.

    With apologies to her Renee Good’s family and her children, another useful idiot. Lenin is smiling.

  25. What a great column and some fantastic comments.
    T-bone Rudd seems to have and incurable mental health disorder, TDS, he also may be suffering from MPS which most Demonrat men suffer from( that’s when your spouses “ unit “
    is larger than yours.
    Tom can’t help ya with the MPS but hopefully a good Psychiatrist can help you with the TDS.
    🙏🏼ing for ya Tommy R

    1. Good news John. The Danes found a way to prevent ‘You can grab em by the Pussy’ Trump from invading Greenland. The Danes are renaming it to EPSTEIN ISLAND.

  26. I am happy for DA BEARS fans after this improbable snatching of victory from the Cheese Graters but less happy that John is over the top with old man get off my lawn syndrome about Democrats. And Gov. Tim of Minnesota does have more than one problem to deal with even after his term ends so he may need a good lawyer but he is not all Democrats. Neither is Newsom. No sale on what the President is trying to get away with either be it Venezuela oil or Greenland minerals or a hideous ballroom. We disagree. And sorry that John can’t see what a selfish guy this President has always been even as a real estate builder.

    1. Mark Mark Mark, you clearly are not very bright.
      How you could say anything about a Ballroom financed privately and the Buh Bye Venezuela Trump arranged for Maduro or the fact that he is wooing Greenland after your corrupt party pretty much came close to destroying our country.
      Sir you need to ask for help, mental illness is a terrible disease but with a good psychiatrist you may yet get better.
      Good luck my friend

  27. I watched the local NBC newscast, and I use that term lightly, reporting ( again, I use that term lightly) about the Minnesota Protester shooting, er..Minnesota Driver shooting..er..American Citizen er…Minnesota Mother shooting..er.. The story was preceded with the usual disclaimers ” …some viewers may find this video disturbing..”. They then ran the video by stating that viewers would have to reach their own conclusion…despite previously stating ICE agents shot and killed an “observer”. The latest video was filmed by the ICE agent himself who was struck by the car showing the unarmed American Citizen/ Driver/ Observer/Mother deliberately turned her car wheels into the officer and was instructed by her friend to ” drive, baby, drive..” She followed instructions and was then shot. The video was shown in its entirety except the sound was edited and had the phrase edited out. They also never showed the resulting footage of the distraught driving instructor crying “..its all my fault..I sent her here…”. BELIEVE WHAT WE TELL YOU NOT WHAT YOU SEE…

  28. I’ve had a moment to collect myself…Were the same age John, 68,64. The same. I’ve had two heart attacks, but thankfully no stroke.

    Think about this, how can my ancestors, my lineal ancestors, go from heroes in New England, sending money and troops to help defend New England colonies in 1775, then continue fighting and winning at Yorktown in 1781, I mean I am Sons of the American Revolution 5 times (and counting) – an the very top tier, you literally can’t get better than the blood I possess. My ancestor, Dr. Thomas Walker, finished raising Thomas Jefferson, paid for his Law School and accompanied him to his first two sessions as a Burgess from Albemarle County, the two of them “Appearing very much like father and son”. I have Dr. Walkers most meaningful antiques, miraculously. In his spare time, Thomas Walker, who spoke 6 Indian languages fluently – was able to feign neutrality and cross enemy lines to keep the Iroquois Nations out of the war.

    How can we go from the very best people perhaps to ever live, the same people, Walker, Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Monroe who invented the United States, fought and won Independence and paid for it with out own money – to the most vile enemies of the State we invented in a matter of not even 60 years. We did not change by one molecule. What changed my friend. THINK

    It took me 20 years to unravel the BULLSHIT that the former Ivy League schools have jammed down our throats for generations. I have done the work, so you don’t have to.

    Here is a hint – How could the Democrat party go from John F, and Robert F Kennedy, to Tim Walz and Kamala Harris. Again, THINK

    Think about that kid who was able to get through to you at Billy Goat about Iraq.

    Open your mind, learn to compromise – and you WILL walk again

    And thank you as always for posting my comments

  29. And here is some concrete stuff about the Confederacy. Posting late because no one reads late. Hoping you might

    I do not post lies

    Some of South Carolina’s reasons justifying secession.

    Subsitute “It” with Radical, Marxist Democrat Lunatics
    Substitute “South” with “Conservatives”
    Compare ” advocates negro equality” with race hustlers

    Now…

    It tramples the original equality of the South under foot.

    It advocates negro equality, socially and politically, and promotes insurrection and incendiarism in our midst.

    It has enlisted its press, its pulpit and its schools against us, until the whole popular mind of the North is excited and inflamed with prejudice.

    It seeks not to elevate or to support the slave, but to destroy his present condition without providing a better. (think Chicago Teachers Union)

    It has invaded a State, and invested with the honors of martyrdom the wretch whose purpose was to apply flames to our dwellings, and the weapons of destruction to our lives. (Minnesota)

    It has broken every compact into which it has entered for our security. (Open Border)

    It knows no relenting or hesitation in its purposes; it stops not in its march of aggression, and leaves us no room to hope for cessation or for pause.

    It has recently obtained control of the Government, by the prosecution of its unhallowed schemes, and destroyed the last expectation of living together in friendship and brotherhood. (Think stolen elections and lawfare)

    With whatever life I have left I will advocate for my incredibly brave ancestors – and thank you as always again
