Fraud Queen Walz Abdicates, Ice Queen Klobuchar Sharpens Comb
Tim Walz finally came out on Monday to announce he was pulling a Joe Biden and ending his reelection campaign for governor of Minnesota, the frigid left-wing enclave that has devolved into a fraud-plagued hellhole on his watch. The prominent Democrat, who served as Kamala Harris’s flamboyant running mate in 2024, is widely viewed (by Republicans) as the best choice to represent the party in the 2028 presidential election (should Harris decline to run).

Take My Governor—Please
Tim Walz has reportedly landed on Kamala Harris’s shortlist of possible running mates. Since I first saw the stories, I have adapted Henny Youngman’s old one-liner about his wife as a mantra: “Take my governor—please.”
Having lived in the Twin Cities and followed his career over the years, I’m going to enjoy the thought of Walz’s departure while it remains a theoretical possibility. I rate Walz’s chances of selection somewhere between zero and zero. Yet he thinks highly of himself and is running as fast as he can to make the theoretical possibility a reality.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolved by board after 58 years of funding PBS and NPR
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been officially dissolved by its board of directors after Republican cuts to funding for PBS and NPR.
The CPB provided funding for public news for 58 years but was plagued by criticism from the right that it supported left-wing policies and the agenda of the Democratic party.
‘Americans will never again have to worry that a single cent will go towards CPB’s radical programming.’
The organization released a statement Monday confirming the vote for dissolution.
“For more than half a century, CPB existed to ensure that all Americans — regardless of geography, income, or background — had access to trusted news, educational programming, and local storytelling,” said CPB president and CEO Patricia Harrison.
She went on to call the vote the fulfillment of a “profound” responsibility.
“CPB’s final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks,” she added.
Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana welcomed the news and mocked the CPB.
“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting — which funneled your money to NPR and PBS to call birds, roads, and country music racist — is officially DISSOLVED,” he wrote. “Good riddance.”
Republicans had criticized public funding for NPR and PBS, while Democrats had criticized defunding efforts as deleterious for rural areas and other underserved communities.

“Excellent news,” replied Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri.
“Now, Americans will never again have to worry that a single cent will go towards CPB’s radical programming,” Schmitt continued.
The CPB previously announced in August that it would begin winding down operations, scale down its employees, and hand out whatever funds it had left over after the Republican cuts.

Will Trump’s unconventional plan to stop the UN climate elites work?
When President Trump boycotted the U.N. climate summit, many Americans who aren’t buying the elites’ climate fearmongering were pleased, hopeful that Trump’s move might weaken the globalist plans.
But after the global elites appeared to use the president’s absence to push extreme climate policies, some are wondering if the president could have made a mistake.
“We’ve got Trump in the White House, and of course he actually boycotted the summit. We reached out to the State Department. They told us they deliberately chose not to send anybody. So there was no U.S. delegation for the first time in 30 years of these, and that made for a very interesting situation,” journalist Alex Newman tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck.
“And you know, a lot of Americans thought that was great. Hooray. And a lot of the climate skeptics also thought so. But some of the globalists at the U.N. conference also said, ‘Hey, this is a great opportunity, because the United States is still involved in the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, but they’re not here to obstruct passage of an ambitious deal,’” Newman explains.
“‘So let’s do some great stuff, and then when Trump is gone in three and a half years, we’ll impose that on Americans,’” he adds.
And the agreement they passed without Trump’s presence included “mention of a carbon budget.”
“They claim that four-fifths of the CO2 that humans can be allowed to emit has already been emitted,” Newman tells Glenn.
“I think the strategy for these people, Glenn, is ‘Hey, we’ve got Trump for three and a half more years. Let’s just keep our heads down. We know that he doesn’t believe us. We know that the American people don’t believe us. So let’s just not talk about it too loudly,’” he adds.
“So was this a mistake by not showing up?” Glenn asks.
“I don’t know,” Newman answers. “I know some of the people down at the U.N. summit thought this was a good opportunity for them, but you know, Trump’s not done.”
“I’ve spoken with people at EPA; I’ve spoke with people at the State Department, who have said that they are seriously considering the possibility of withdrawing from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change,” he continues.
“We have to,” Glenn interjects.
“Yeah, that seems like a no-brainer. … In fact, before he went into the White House, he said one of the top priorities for the MAGA movement and the United States needs to be to decisively crush this climate hysteria hoax,” Newman says, adding, “So he’s really serious about it.”

Sunny Hostin says Maduro’s arrest was an act of ‘piracy’ and ‘imperialism’ — but Ana Navarro says it made her cry with joy
The hosts of “The View” offered a wide spectrum of responses to the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces.
Maduro was captured at his home in Caracas and flown out of the country alongside his wife in a daring mission on Saturday evening. On Monday, he pleaded “not guilty” in a court in New York City.
‘I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a b***h is out of Venezuela!’
Some on the left have criticized the Trump administration for the manner in which the operation was conducted. Sunny Hostin offered her critique on Monday’s episode of the talk show.
“Isn’t anyone concerned about the fact that what we’re doing is almost piracy? It’s like imperialism,” said Hostin, who claimed that the president violated international law.
“We’re going to another country, and we’re taking their natural resources for ourselves,” she added. “And on top of it, if we can do something like this, who is to say that Vladimir Putin, then, doesn’t go to Ukraine and arrest Zelenskyy?”
Hostin was referring to statements President Donald Trump made about seizing oil tankers from Venezuela and returning oil drilling assets that had been seized by the communist government and nationalized. She pointed out that Venezuela has control of nearly 20% of the world’s oil reserves, more even than Saudi Arabia.
Ana Navarro, however, said she was full of joy that Maduro’s reign was over and said Venezuelans and Cubans in south Florida were overjoyed about the arrest.
“For us, this is a very, very happy day when we see a dictator who has been part of oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for 25 years, when we see him in handcuffs and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me to tears,” Navarro said. “It brought me great joy.”
She added, “I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a bitch is out of Venezuela!”

Maduro is facing charges of “narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States.”
