SOMALI PIRATES UPDATE:

Prosecute @GovTimWalz https://t.co/oSQprdo292

I’m sure Walz himself would agree!

Fortunately for his job security, the DFL-MSM doesn’t care:

After 3 straight days of ground breaking reporting by Nick, a 22 yr old YouTuber, in what is the now the biggest story in the country, today’s state’s newspapers have ZERO mention of it. This is a key part of the how the corruption works here-it gets total safety from the MN… https://t.co/Y0FoY1Km7X pic.twitter.com/4Br8BvzoQI

Minnesota’s largest paper just released its Year in Review.

Not a single mention of the fraud consuming our state. This is how the fraud was able to balloon into what it is today. pic.twitter.com/YW1VLsMQzZ

Neither does Jake Tapper, who is far more interested in tone policing Minnesota voters than reporting on Minnesota corruption:

Very Serious Journalist Jake Tapper takes time to post his Very Serious Concerns about 𝕏 posts showing people yelling stuff at Tim Walz

Meanwhile, zero posts from Jake about the viral posts all over 𝕏 reporting on the fraud in Tim Walz’ state. pic.twitter.com/HZylMy33bX

Err, sorry. Tone policing Minnesota Republican voters. At CNN, “Civility feels like it misses the mark” when Democrats are protesting:

Here’s what a CNN anchor said about protestors outside Supreme Court Justices’ homes in 2022:

"A conversation about ‘civility’ feels like it misses the mark."

The Justices have security and people are angry, so what’s the big deal? https://t.co/Xp8d9biorq pic.twitter.com/06AQmo6rIr

So why the crickets from the national DNC-MSM, when there’s a slam-dunk 60 Minutes-style story in Minnesota, only needing a cameraman, an interviewer, a rental car, and some door knocking?

One kid with an iPhone vs thousands of corporate uninterested paid journalists. Incredible. https://t.co/J9gnsTNxby

Michael Moore became a millionaire off shit like this.

The question everyone should be asking is why does no journalist who works for NBC ABC CNN Washington Post or New York Times want to be famous like that?

We all know why:

WHILE IT’S STILL CHRISTMAS TIME: FROM SARAH A. HOYT:

Christmas In Time: A Collection of Short Stories

Christmas In Time: Six Stories of Time Travel and Second Chances

Time is not an Ocean. But then again it is.

From award-winning author Sarah A. Hoyt come six tales of time travel, parallel worlds, and the furthest reaches of space—all bound together by Christmas miracles and the choices that define us.

Meet Time Corps agents who risk madness to prevent reality from splintering. Follow a mathematician pulled into a parallel universe where his twin captains starships between worlds. Watch as mysterious children arrive from impossible futures, and discover Victorian lighthouses that serve as anchors in the storm of time itself. Journey from blood-soaked space stations to asteroid colonies at the edge of the known universe.

This collection includes “What Child Is This,” a prequel to Hoyt’s acclaimed novel No Man’s Land, revealing how a child’s accidental time-slip can save a man’s life and create the bonds of family love.

AND: Christmas in the Stars.

A collection of four Christmas short stories by Prometheus Award Winner Sarah A. Hoyt.
Perfect for curling up by the fire with eggnog in hand, these heartwarming tales bring the spirit of Christmas to the far reaches of space and beyond. A star-explorer stranded in unknown coordinates on Christmas Eve listens desperately for sleigh bells while his AI companion offers little comfort. Two deserters from a doomed planetary war seek peace and goodwill on a forsaken planet—even though one of them happens to be dead. Discover the small, sweet robot who witnessed the first Christmas at the nativity. And remember that sometimes, all you need for a Merry Christmas is a cat. With the warmth and humanity that has made Hoyt a beloved voice in Analog, Asimov’s, and Weird Tales, these stories blend science fiction wonder with holiday comfort. Though brief, this collection delivers the rational optimism and cozy charm perfect for a snowy afternoon—proving that the Christmas spirit endures even among the stars. As one reviewer notes, these aren’t schmaltzy Hallmark tales, but genuine stories that earn their emotional moments through compelling characters and imaginative settings.

WE SHOULD QUESTION EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING: I had this idea… “what if autism diagnoses are partially from fraudulent billing?” And then poked around a bit. And … turns out that the whole “1 in 30” statistic isn’t based on official diagnoses; ADDM has clinicians review school records and if the record fits then it counts as autism even if there’s no medical diagnosis. Then that statistic is quoted to justify increased ABA centers, increased research, all kinds of grants.
