NBA Cancels Game in Minneasota

The NBA canceled its game in Minneapolis today because the league felt it wasn’t safe to play. The NHL is currently playing in Minneapolis and had zero issues with playing its game. The NBA’s decision was 100% political. Good for the NHL on playing.
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) January 25, 2026

Apparently, the NHL game was played in St. Paul, not Minneapolis.
Still, was the rioting in Minneapolis so dangerous that the NBA game couldn't be played? Did officials believe the rioters made it unsafe for fans to attend? It appears the anti-ICE rioters have taken over.
Perhaps it was a mistake for Tim Walz and Jacob Frey to encourage violence against law enforcement. If they have permitted Minneapolis to become such a hellhole of lawlessness that a basketball game couldn't be safely played, the NBA should consider removing the Timberwolves from Minneapolis.

Cyberattack on St. Paul, Walz Activates National Guard

A cyberattack has severely impacted the City of St. Paul, prompting Mayor Melvin Carter to declare a local state of emergency.

Governor Tim Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, to assist with the response efforts. The incident's scale exceeded… pic.twitter.com/LXpZBF0VbN

Surprising. Tim Walz usually waits for chaos, arson, and murder before calling in the National Guard.

Kristi Noem: Trump Stands Up For Average Americans

.@Sec_Noem: "In 2020, I was a governor of a neighboring state to @GovTimWalz, and watched him let his city burn. And @POTUS and I have talked about this... and he was NOT going to let that happen to another city and to another community, where a bad governor made a bad decision." pic.twitter.com/WlJwJ4Ng7K
— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) June 10, 2025

Why would a governor allow a city in their state to burn? Why would a governor permit death and destruction to continue for days?
Democrats have a problem distinguishing between peaceful protests and riots.
Thankfully, President Trump, Kristi Noem, and the Trump administration do not.

Tim Walz Calls Trump 'Disrespectful' for McDonald's Campaign Stop

Here is McDonald’s in Walz’s Minneapolis during the Floyd riots https://t.co/nUfM3YEzJX pic.twitter.com/f0Boi01y07
— Logan Ratick (@Logan_Ratick) October 21, 2024

It's kind of weird that Tim Walz is criticizing President Trump for his McDonald's stop.
Maybe allowing a Minnesota McDonald's to go up in flames is more disrespectful than simply going to the establishment, meeting the employees, learning about their jobs, and greeting supporters at the drive-thru window.

Lying Kamala Harris - Raising Money to Bail Out Violent Rioters

Gwen Walz and Burning Tires

Everything you need to know about leftist elites can be found in this short clip. Tim Walz’s wife sat by the window enjoying the smell of poor neighborhoods burning during the Floyd riots. She did everything but pull out a fiddle.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) August 6, 2024

Tim Walz's wife, Gwen, is as radical as he is. These sort of radical Leftist elites are truly hurting the American people.
Not everyone enjoyed the smell of poor neighborhoods burning to a crisp.

Gwen Walz said she enjoyed the smell of this woman's neighborhood burning. https://t.co/HKZifvSAnq
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 6, 2024

Terrible.
Someone should make a scented candle that smells like the 2020 burning of Minneapolis so wacky Gwen Walz can revel in the fragance without the human toll.

Tim Walz and Minnesota State Flag

3 months ago, Minnesota Gov Tim Walz replaced their state flag with a new flag resembling a Somali regional flag.

Radical Leftist Tim Walz has done terrible things to Minnesota. He is not moderate. He is not middle of the road. He is not folksy. He's an extremist.
I'm stunned that Minnesota, Wisconsin's neighbor west of the Mississippi, has become such a radical Leftist sanctuary.
Walz even manages to make radical Dem Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers seem less extreme. Granted, Evers did let Kenosha burn for days, but he hasn't replaced the State Flag.
How did Kamala Harris find this disaster to be her running mate? What was she thinking?
Moreover, good people of Minnesota, get it together. You're destroying your state.

Biden DOJ Prosecutes Pro-Life Protesters Under FACE Act

Kamala Harris Bail Fund Released Man Charged With Murder

Man freed by Kamala-backed Minnesota bail fund charged with murder https://t.co/dLjyMAfhLk
— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) September 8, 2021

From the Post Millennial:

Minneapolis career criminal George Howard, 48, who was previously jailed then released on bail through Minnesota's Freedom Fund, a group backed by Vice President Kamala Harris, was arrested August 29 on murder charges.
Minnesota's Freedom Fund bailed out Howard on August 6 who was in custody on on a $11,500 bond in connection with domestic assault.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department, George Howard shot a driver during an alleged road rage incident on an Interstate 94 entrance ramp. The victim, identified as Luis Damian Martinez Ortiz, 38, was shot in the chest after surveillance video captured a physical confrontation with the suspect. Ortiz was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Congratulations, Kamala Harris, for getting George Howard back on the street to commit murder. Great job!

"[F]or most of my lifetime, the United States was such a dominant economic power, we were such a large market, our industry, our technology, our manufacturing was so significant that we always met the rest of the world economically on our terms. And now, because of the incredible rise of India and China and Brazil and other countries, the United States remains the largest economic and the largest market but there’s real competition out there.

We don't want people to stop fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow the economy."

----------------------------

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

----------------------------

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them.
