Minnesota Governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz has a new theory as to why Democrats lost big in November.

Addressing a town hall event on Thursday, Walz said that the Democratic Party was not sufficiently “proud” of being the party that is woke, embraces DEI, and supports open borders.

“Our strength is our diversity,” he said. “We’ve been talking about this for years as a country of immigrants.”

”We let them define the issue on immigration, we let them define the issue on DEI, and we let them define what woke is.”

”We got ourselves in this mess because we weren’t bold enough to say, ‘You’re damn right we’re proud of these policies, we’re going to put them in, and we’re going to execute them.”

While some parts of the Democratic Party are beginning to realize that their support for far-left progressive ideology, Walz is clearly not one of them.

Nevertheless, Walz intends to carry on his woke crusade over the next few years after recently revealing that he is considering a run for the presidency in 2028.

“If I feel I can serve, I will,” Walz said in a recent interview. “And if nationally, people are like, ‘Dude, we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.”

“If I think I could offer something, I would certainly consider that,” he continued.

The 60-year-old recently got himself into hot water for celebrating the decline in the stock price of Elon Musk’s Tesla, without realizing that Minnesota’s pension fund has hundreds of millions in company shares.

“I have to be careful about being a smartass,” he said. “I was making a joke.”

”These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people.”

“They’re all mad, and I said something I probably shouldn’t have about a company.”

Walz went on to admit that Musk “bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy.”

While the Trump administration is reportedly cutting funding for Australian universities that promote gender ideology, 19 animal research laboratories across Australia remain eligible for funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including at the universities where funding is being halted.

The cuts are part of President Donald Trump’s ban on funding diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) projects, grants, and programs. Monash University, Australian National University, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, and University of New South Wales are affected.

Taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste has uncovered grants for animal testing at these universities and other Australian labs.

The American taxpayer-funded Australian grants include:

A $4.9 Million FDA Contract for COVID-19 Animal Models
One project, a $4.9 million contract awarded by the Biden administration in 2021 to the Australian government, focuses on “Strengthening COVID-19 Animal Models.” Funded through the FDA and scheduled to run until September 2026, it aims to enhance animal-based research on the virus.

$6 Million NIH Contract for Opioid Research on Dogs
A $6 million NIH contract supports animal testing for a private Australian drug company, testing KNX100 for opioid withdrawal. The funding is set to continue until May 2026.

$2.7 Million Fauci-Funded Smoking Experiments on Mice
The University of Melbourne received a $2.7 million NIAID grant in 2020, under Dr. Anthony Fauci’s tenure, for smoking experiments on mice. These involve forcing mice to inhale cigarette smoke and infecting them with viruses like H1N1, with funding secured until May 2025.

$9 Million TB Vaccine Testing on Monkeys and Mice
A $9 million NIH grant, awarded by NIAID in 2022 under Fauci, funds the University of Sydney to test tuberculosis vaccines on monkeys and mice. Scheduled to run until September 2027, it evaluates adjuvants and antigens for vaccine development.

$10 Million for Alcohol Abuse Studies on Rodents
The University of Sydney also holds a $10 million NIH grant, funded for 25 years and set to continue until June 2028, for alcohol abuse experiments on mice and rats. These include addicting rodents to alcohol, subjecting them to obesity studies, and “drinking-in-the-dark” experiments involving skull drilling.

According to the NIH’s project reporter tool, these labs are part of a network receiving over $30 million in active funding for various research projects.

Earlier this week, the Trump administration has cancelled another wasteful National Institutes of Health grant to study overdoses of a party drug (GHB) by transgender people.

The $1,155,503 grant, uncovered by taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste and highlighted by The Gateway Pundit, gave $1,155,503 to the University of the Pacific to castrate male rats and inject them with estrogen, remove female rats’ ovaries and inject them with testosterone, and then overdose them with GHB to “evaluate the potential for altered toxicity/overdose risk in transgender men and women.”

ANOTHER VICTORY: Trump Admin Cancels NIH Grant to Turn Animals Transgender and Overdose Them on GHB

Following WCW’s investigations, President Donald Trump has now cut 10 NIH grants funding transgender animal experiments.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s latest tattoo is triggering Muslim activists.

In photos circulating across social media, Hegseth appears to have a new tattoo that says “kafir”, an Arabic term used by Muslims to describe unbelievers.

The choice of tattoo has triggered Muslim activists, who have accused Hegseth of being Islamaphobic.

“This is the normalization of Islamophobia at the highest levels of power,” wrote the pro-Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani on X.

“What else is this supposed to mean besides U.S. foreign policy being a crusade against Muslims?”

Hegseth just got a kafir (كافر) tattoo under his Deus Vult tattoo—a Crusader slogan. This isn’t just a personal choice; it’s a clear symbol of Islamophobia from the man overseeing U.S. wars.

“Kafir” has been weaponized by far-right Islamophobes to mock and vilify Muslims. It’s… https://t.co/PJpMVOSZni

— Nerdeen Kiswani (@NerdeenKiswani) March 26, 2025

A similar reaction could be found over at the left-wing social media platform Bluesky.

Bro, this dummy Pete Hegseth has Crusader tattoos and a new kafir (“infidel”) tattoo? Good thing he’s not in charge of the American military.

Pete Hegseth, already unfit for the role due to a history of misconduct and extremist views, now sports a tattoo reading “kafir” in Arabic — a reckless, inflammatory mark that further proves he should never have been entrusted with leading a diverse military.

Someone said this on the other app, but Pete Hegseth texted plans for war with Yemen whilst he has a tattoo of “kafir”, an Arabic term which is widely used by Christofascists to taunt Muslims – on his arm. For Hegseth this war very much has Christofascist motivation. Trump’s admin is the KKK.

Secretary Hegseth has several tattoos that reflect his patriotism, military service, and faith. Among them is a large American flag, a symbol of his love for his country.

He also has various military insignia and unit symbols, honoring his time in the Army National Guard and his deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a large cross tattoo, representing his Christian faith.

Following his nomination as Secretary of Defense by President Trump, left-wing commentators latched onto Hegseth’s tattoos as evidence that is a white supremacist.

Unsurprisingly, their smear campaign failed, and he was confirmed to the role shortly after Trump took office.

As the peace negotiations face the inevitable hurdles from both the Russian and the Ukrainian sides, it’s now the Europeans that are doing their level best to derail the process.

And it’s UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer and France’s President Emmanuel Macron who are the self-appointed ‘saboteurs-in-chief’ tasked with posturing and lecturing to the all-too-friendly MSM.

Now, Starmer and Macron started to patronize US President Donald J. Trump and his team, ‘warning’ them against ‘trusting Vladimir Putin’.

Besides that, they both made it clear they will not relax any sanctions on Russia as part of a ceasefire deal – effectively impeding it.

Politico reported:

“At a summit in Paris on Thursday ― the latest in a series held in London, Brussels and the French capital over recent weeks ― Ukraine’s allies further poured scorn on the idea that it was time to go soft. By doing so, they presented a direct challenge to the U.S., which has suggested that loosening the strict curbs on Russian companies’ ability to do business with the rest of the world could be used as a sweetener to get Moscow to stop the fighting.

“The collective view is that Russia is playing games, that Putin is back to his old playbook,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told reporters after the meeting. He said leaders want to ‘get Russia more seriously to the negotiation table’.”

Yes, you read it right: Starmer implies that the US-led negotiations are ‘not serious’.

The limited cease fire against energy infrastructure and suspension of attacks in the Black Sea are hinging on some of the sanctions against Russia being lifted – and Euro-Globalists can’t let that happen!

Some of the sanctions that need relief, like banks’ exclusion from the Swift international payment system ― were imposed by the EU.

“The 27 leaders gathered in Paris, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, outgoing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, agreed they would not soften sanctions until peace was achieved, French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters.

[…] ’President Trump is waiting for a clear answer from the Russians’, Macron said. ‘If he has the clear message the Russians are not coming [to the table], he will feel deceived, betrayed. And he would have to react’.”

Again: condescending Macron thinks that if the EU torpedoes the deal, that will turn Trump against Putin – does that even make any sense?

In the end, Europe has no place at the negotiating table, but they can – and will – sabotage the deal. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky pretends to not trash US Special envoy Steve Witkoff:

“Zelenskyy singled out American envoy Steve Witkoff ― who dismissed Europe’s plan to send troops to Ukraine to keep the peace as ‘a combination of a posture and a pose’ ― as someone ‘from another world’. ‘It is not that I am attacking him. We just live in different realities’, Zelenskyy said.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked on Thursday to explain why a Tufts student from Turkey had her visa revoked and is now slated for deportation.

His answer could not have been more perfect.

Rubio calmly explained to the assembled journalists that coming to the United States to study at a college or university is a privilege and not a right, and that if people come here to destroy, harass, and take over college buildings, they will be sent packing.

He uses the analogy of inviting someone into your home. If a guest began vandalizing and destroying your home, you would eject that person.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, a Turkish student in Boston was detained and handcuffed on the street by plainclothes agents. A year ago, she wrote an opinion piece about the Gaza war.

Could you help us understand what the specific action she took that led to her visa being revoked and what was your State Department’s role in that process?

SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO: We revoked her visa. It’s an F1 visa, I believe. We revoked it, and here’s why, and I’ll say it again. I’ve said it everywhere. Let me be abundantly clear, OK?

If you go apply for a visa right now anywhere in the world, let me just send this message out. If you apply for a visa to enter the United States and be a student, and you tell us that the reason why you’re coming to the United States is not just because you want to write op-eds, but because you want to participate in movements that are involved in doing things like vandalizing universities, harassing students, taking over buildings, creating a ruckus, we’re not gonna give you a visa.

If you lie to us and get a visa and then enter the United States and with that visa participate in that sort of activity, we’re gonna take away your visa. And once you’ve lost your visa, you’re no longer legally in the United States, and we have a right, like every country in the world has a right, to remove you from our country. So it’s just that simple.

I think it’s crazy. I think it’s stupid for any country in the world to welcome people into their country — they’re going to go to your universities as visitors, they’re visitors, and say, “I’m going to your universities to start a riot. I’m going to your universities to take over a library and harass people.”

I don’t care what movement you’re involved in. Why would any country in the world allow people to come and disrupt?

We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses.

Watch all of this, it’s great:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio offers an explanation for deporting alleged terrorist sympathizer and Tufts PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk:

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to eliminate “the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology” from Smithsonian Museums.

The order, signed on Thursday, also instructs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine whether any “public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties” were “removed or changed to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history, inappropriately minimize the value of certain historical events or figures, or include any other improper partisan ideology” during the Biden administration.

The executive order states:

Once widely respected as a symbol of American excellence and a global icon of cultural achievement, the Smithsonian Institution has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology. This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive. For example, the Smithsonian American Art Museum today features “The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,” an exhibit representing that “[s]ocieties including the United States have used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.” The exhibit further claims that “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention.”

The National Museum of African American History and Culture has proclaimed that “hard work,” “individualism,” and “the nuclear family” are aspects of “White culture.” The forthcoming Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum plans on celebrating the exploits of male athletes participating in women’s sports. These are just a few examples.

It is the policy of my Administration to restore Federal sites dedicated to history, including parks and museums, to solemn and uplifting public monuments that remind Americans of our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing. Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history.

To advance this policy, we will restore the Smithsonian Institution to its rightful place as a symbol of inspiration and American greatness –- igniting the imagination of young minds, honoring the richness of American history and innovation, and instilling pride in the hearts of all Americans.

Trump said Vice President J.D. Vance will lead the effort to restore the Smithsonian to its former glory.

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg gave somewhat of a cryptic response when CBS News asked him about his relationship with National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

President Trump, for now, is standing by his National Security Advisor Mike Waltz after Deep State reporter Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a Signal chat group.

However, Mike Waltz’s relationship with Jeffrey Goldberg has come into question after a screenshot of the Signal group clearly shows Waltz added The Atlantic editor to the “Houthi PC small group.”

Full Signal text chain has been released.

There’s nothing in it but the pros and cons of striking now vs waiting a month.

It’s not war plans. It’s not classified info.

It’s a conversation, and nice to see cabinet members and staffers hashing out the best way to move forward.… pic.twitter.com/OTNYgHr3VP

It was reported on Monday that Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

According to Jeffrey Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance were in a Signal group called “Houthi PC small group,” discussing plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.

After the first release of chats from the Signal group, Jeffrey Goldberg vowed to release the ‘war plans’ discussed in the text chain.

Goldberg released the second round of messages from the chat group on Wednesday at it was clear that he over promised and under delivered.

Although no war plans were discussed in the “Houthi PC small group” on Signal, the main question is, how did Mike Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat group if he insists he has never spoken to him? How was Jeffrey Goldberg in his phone contacts?

On Tuesday evening, Mike Waltz said he takes full responsibility for what happened since he is the one who created the Signal chat group.

Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham could not understand how Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in Mike Waltz’s phone in the first place if he has never spoken to him before.

“But you’ve never talked to him [Jeffrey Goldberg] before, so how’s the number on your phone?” Laura Ingraham asked Waltz.

Waltz replied, “Well, if you have somebody else’s contact and then somehow it gets sucked in, it gets sucked in.”

Although Mike Waltz insists he has never spoken to Jeffrey Goldberg, it appears they might actually know each other.

According to investigative reporter Paul Sperry, Mike Waltz was a source for Jeffrey Goldberg while he was serving on the House Intel Committee.

Per Paul Sperry: Though Waltz insists, “I wasn’t talking to [Goldberg],” a US intel official told me Waltz was a source for Goldberg while on HPSCI. “There’s no need for an investigation to figure out how he was added to the chat.Goldberg was in his address book b/c he’s been talking to him”

Additionally, Mike Waltz attended an event moderated by Jeffrey Goldberg in 2021.

Waltz was photographed standing near Goldberg.

Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg.

Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy.

Jeffrey Goldberg raised eyebrows when asked about his relationship with Mike Waltz.

“I’m just not going to comment on my relationship with Mike Waltz,” Jeffrey Goldberg told CBS News in an interview Wednesday.

When asked about the photos of him standing near Mike Waltz at an event in 2021, Goldberg said, “If your eyeballs see us together, then I guess your eyeballs are seeing us together.”

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) crew have revealed that 40%—nearly half—of the phone calls the Social Security Administration receives are from “fraudsters” who are changing beneficiaries’ bank information to steal benefits. 

“When you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters,” one of Musk’s prodigies stated.

President Trump’s DOGE head, Elon Musk, and members of his team sat for an interview with Bret Baier, which aired on Thursday evening, to discuss the waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that they’ve uncovered in just two months.

Musk explained that unscrupulous individuals “call in, they say, they claim to be a retiree, then they convince the Social Security personnel to change where the money is flowing.”

“It actually goes to some fraudster,” he added.

WATCH:

DOGE Engineer: The two improvements that we’re trying to make to Social Security are helping people that legitimately get benefits protect them from fraud that they experience every day on a routine basis, and also make the experience better. And I’ll give you— one example is at Social Security one of the first things we learned is that they get phone calls every day of people trying to change direct deposit information.

So, when you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters… almost half.

Musk: Yes, and they steal people’s social security is what happens. They call in, they say, they claim to be a retiree, then they convince the Social Security personnel to change where the money is flowing. It actually goes to some fraudster. This is happening all day, every day, and then somebody doesn’t receive their Social Security; it’s because of all the fraud loopholes in the Social Security system. 

Other findings by the team regarding Social Security reveal what a scam the program is.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the DOGE team had discovered jaw-dropping inconsistencies within the U.S. Social Security database. According to their findings, over 25 million Americans are registered as aged 100 or older—some allegedly older than the U.S. Constitution itself.

DOGE recently announced that as part of their massive clean-up effort, they’ve marked Social Security recipients aged 120 and older as deceased.

DOGE Overhauls Social Security: 7 Million Immortal Numberholders Aged 120+ Finally Marked as “Deceased” in Massive Cleanup Effort

Despite the massive fraud in the program and evidence of real retirees getting cheated out of their benefits, the Democrats are still vehemently opposed to Musk and his team rooting out the corruption.

How many elected Democrats are benefiting in some way from all of this fraud?
