Tim Walz may be done — but impeachment is just the beginning
Four articles of impeachment have been filed against Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz, and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believe not only that it has been a long time coming, but that far more needs to be done to rectify his actions.
“A person whose name is always synonymous with Somali fraud, it seems — sorry, I guess legally I have to say, like, ‘allegedly,’ seems like things are coming back to bite him,” Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.” “Of course, I’m talking about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.”
“Now, I would say, if the left wants to constantly impeach Donald Trump over nothing, we should probably impeach all of them over the things that they did that are actually crimes,” she continues.
The four articles that have been filed against Tim Walz include Article I: Violation of Oath of Office through Concealment of Fraud; Article II: Interference with Oversight and Investigations; Article III: Prioritizing Political Considerations Over Lawful Administration; and Article IV: Failure to Steward Public Funds.
“The only way in which he gets away with this is that it’s Democrat-run in Minnesota and the Democrats just won’t ever do this to one of their own. That’s the only way, because all the receipts we’ve gone over ad nauseum, like, the receipts are there that he did all of these things,” Gonzales says.
Walz has also dropped out of the next gubernatorial race, which he claimed he was doing to get to the bottom of the fraud.
“Tim Walz is like, ‘I’m dropping out to help get to the bottom of’ why he was such a facilitator to fraud, I guess,” Gonzales mocks, before playing a clip of Walz making the excuse.
“Every minute that I spend defending my own political interest would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who want to prey on our differences,” Walz announced.
“So I’ve decided to step out of this race, and I’ll let others worry about the election while I focus on the work that’s in front of me for the next year,” he added.
“Oh, okay. It’s all the other people who are the problem,” Gonzales says.
“Now, obviously, I think Tim Walz should be impeached. I actually like President Trump’s idea better, which is that he just needs to be hauled away in handcuffs, which is what he posted on Truth Social,” she laughs.
“That is my president,” she adds.

Renee Good had 4 gunshot wounds, including in the head, new report shows
New information has surfaced regarding the January 7 death of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer after obstructing a deportation operation and ultimately endangering the officers’ lives.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Good suffered four gunshot wounds, contradicting earlier reports of the January 7 incident that said she had three gunshot wounds.
Good was brought out of the vehicle to a snowbank and then the sidewalk to get ‘separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders.’
Citing the Minneapolis Fire Department’s incident report acquired through a state Data Practices Act request, the Tribune reported that paramedics found Good unresponsive, not breathing, and with an “inconsistent” and “irregular” pulse.
Good was brought out of the vehicle to a snowbank and then the sidewalk to get “separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders,” the Tribune wrote.

According to the Star Tribune, the incident report said that Good had two gunshot wounds to her right chest, one on her left forearm, and one “with protruding tissue on the left side of [her] head.”
Blood was flowing out of her left ear, according to the outlet’s summary of the report.
Lifesaving efforts were given at the scene of the shooting, in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, and at the hospital, Hennepin County Medical Center. These efforts were stopped around 10:30 a.m.

Venezuelan freedom fighter honors Trump: Machado insists ‘he deserves’ Nobel Prize after capture of dictator Maduro
While there have been mixed reactions to the January 3 capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro by the U.S., few have shown greater support for the move than opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.
On Thursday, Machado visited President Donald Trump at the White House and presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize, which she won in October.
‘María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done.’
When asked in a Fox interview why she gave her medal to the president of the United States, Machado had a simple answer: “Because he deserves it.”
“It was a very emotional moment. I decided to present the Nobel Peace Prize medal on behalf of the people of Venezuela.”

The medal was presented to Trump in a large golden frame with text that reads: “To President Donald J. Trump in Gratitude for Your Extraordinary Leadership in Promoting Peace Through Strength.” The text further calls the award a “Personal Symbol of Gratitude on behalf of the Venezuelan People.”
After the meeting, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!”
A White House official confirmed to CNBC that Trump intends to keep the medal.

Florida Panthers praise Trump during White House visit: ‘Nothing beats this’
The Stanley Cup champions were not shy about showing their support for President Trump.
The Florida Panthers visited the White House to celebrate their second-straight league championship over the Edmonton Oilers.
‘I’m so proud to be an American, and I’m so proud to be here with you.’
Trump praised the team on Thursday, shaking hands and listing accomplishments as he remarked that many of the players and staff would be participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, many of them representing the United States.
Before accepting gifts from the players, the president introduced team owner and billionaire Vincent Viola, who made the Panthers’ support for the administration indisputable.
“I’m going to make it pretty clear that we are honored to be here, we are honored to be here with you as the president,” Viola said, keeping his words short.
Then star player Matthew Tkachuk took the podium to relish being an American at the White House.
“I want to say on behalf of the whole organization, mainly the players, we are so honored to be here. Being an American … nothing beats this, I’m so proud to be an American, and I’m so proud to be here with you,” Tkachuk said, motioning to Trump.

Tkachuk noted the pain and effort that is required to win a Stanley Cup, stating, “Winning, it takes a toll, you pay a price for it.”
The 28-year-old certainly relished the moment and said he looked forward to wearing the red, white, and blue at the Winter Olympics.
“Representing you and the millions back here, next month at the Olympics, will be one of the highlights of my life as well,” he told the president.
Defenseman Seth Jones then presented President Trump with a Stanley Cup ring, captain Aleksander “Sasha” Barkov gave the president a No. 47 jersey, and Tkachuk presented Trump with a golden hockey stick.
As the team dispersed, an orchestral version of “We Are the Champions” by Queen played as Trump walked off the stage.

The Panthers kept the Stanley Cup out of the hands of Canadian teams for yet another year with their second-straight win over the Oilers and their third-straight appearance in the finals.
No Canadian team has won the cup since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens. Interestingly Florida’s other team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, appeared in three-straight finals before the Panthers and won two also.
Oilers captain Connor McDavid, who is widely regarded as the best player in the world, has split fans in recent years for defending the highly controversial gay pride nights in the NHL.
“It’s not my call, but obviously it’s disappointing,” he said in 2023. “I certainly can’t speak for every organization. … I know in Edmonton, we were one of the first teams to use the Pride tape,” the star boasted.
