State of Tuesday: TIM WALZ'S LITTLE SECRET
Walz sat down with his advisers and laid everything out.
Greetings, Dear Reader,
Big Timbo is out.
There’s only one real way to interpret his sudden withdrawal from the governor’s race.
TIM WALZ’S LITTLE SECRET
Whatever you’re thinking about the fraud that’s captured America’s attention lately, I can assure you, it’s 100x worse.
Tim Walz just essentially resigned the governorship of Minnesota. In a press conference yesterday, he announced that he was opting to end his re-election campaign. Just a year ago, Tim was considered a shoo-in for a third term. He was even the party’s VP nominee. Despite losing, his moves later as governor showed that he still had national ambitions. Those are all dashed now. He’s limping away from power.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
During his presser, he cited the fraud investigations. Of course, it was just a distraction from the real work of serving Minnesotans. Those mean old Republicans, Tim said.
I want to let you in on Tim’s little secret, Dear Reader, about how these things actually work. Mind you, this is conjecture, but it’s informed, experienced conjecture.
Walz sat down with his advisers and laid everything out. This is common when you’re running for office, regardless of how long you’ve been in office. Time to lay it all out, a complete audit. You do this in part so the people working with you can help you mitigate problems before they break, but you also do this if you respect them. You want them to know what they’re facing.
Ask anyone with any history in politics, strategic communications, lawfare, and so on, and such meetings are not just common, but absolutely necessary in order to proceed with campaigns.
The conclusion after this series of discussions: You’re so exposed to all this fraud that staying in power would be riskier than leaving. And it wasn’t a coin toss, folks, it had to be overwhelming for him to stand up there and resign his candidacy.
That’s the only reason government executives ever let go of power that could easily be retained, if holding on to it is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, more likely to lead to personal, financial, reputational ruin.
Perhaps even jail — who knows how exposed he and his administration are.
Here’s the kicker: The Somali ambassador to the United Nations — and newly frocked member of the security council — somehow owns both a healthcare service and a daycare service in Ohio. And that’s not all, Dear Reader! An HHS official confirmed yesterday that the healthcare service was convicted of Medicaid fraud.
So a Somali national in a position of public service and leadership to the fake world government is also bilking American taxpayers with fake businesses. It’s almost too perfect.
This thread goes well past old Twinkle Toes in Minnesota. It’s in Boston. It’s in New York and Seattle.
If we keep pulling at it, more will fall.
