Nearly 12,000 “Minnesotans” have already applied for Paid Leave.

The expensive and very fraud prone program has officially gone live. With nearly 12,000 “Minnesotans” applying for paid leave.

Read the press release below:


St. Paul, MN — Nearly 12,000 Minnesotans have applied for Paid Leave since applications opened, the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) announced Friday.  

DEED launched the full Paid Leave application this week. Applications for bonding leave for parents who welcomed a child in 2025 went live in early December. Since then, 11,883 Minnesotans have submitted applications as of Friday morning, and DEED has completed reviewing 6,393 leaves.  

“Receiving nearly 12,000 early Paid Leave applications shows just how motivated people are to engage with this new program,” said DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek. “Our website is managing traffic well and our contact center team is prepared to answer questions from Minnesotans who need assistance. We’re proud and excited to implement this program for Minnesota.” 

Since opening applications for bonding leave in early December, DEED has completed reviewing over half of applications.  

Based on projections from an independent actuary, DEED expects about 130,000 approved claims from Minnesotans in the first year of the Paid Leave program.

THE DFL MACHINE WON’T PROTECT CHILDREN BUT LOVES GUN CONTROL

Governor Tim Walz DOESNT want a special session on: ending the law that makes it illegal for medical professionals to help depressed and gender confused kids without a gender change. Or on putting a school officer at every school, private and public. Or on canceling “free” lunch for all to pay for fencing and facility safety improvements.

No, Governor Walz wants a special session on Gun Control to ban only ONE of the THREE weapon types the Annunciation school shooter used.

Maybe there won’t be a special session on gun control, but maybe we should have one on why Walz and the Mpls Democrats refuse to help provide children and schools with the same basic safety baseball games, football games, banks and even the State Fair have. We can think of 100 things to cut from the rainbow-green scam budget to pay for basic school safety.

Side Note: They will never give of the rainbow-green scam budget which is why they propose “gun control”. It costs nothing and requires no cuts to their cult budget to implement.

They care about kids exactly $0 worth.

HALF BILLION IN FRAUD AND COUNTING

HALF BILLION IN FRAUD AND COUNTING……….so far.

Walz machine donors have been ripping off the state for years. We all know Feeding Our Future and their affiliated fraud is just the tip of the iceberg. Suitcases of cash from daycare fraud has been taking plane rides to Somalia for over a decade now and nobody does anything.

What about fraud in:
Senior daycare programs?
Summer lunch for kids?
Violence Interrupters?
Home Health Aids and staffing svcs?
Charter schools?
Free food distribution?
Medicaid and Medicare ride reimbursement?
Medicaid and Medicare rehab therapy appts?
Halfway housing?
Legal Aid nonprofits? They actually help anybody? For how much per client/case?
“Social justice” scammers?
Climate resilience and other climate scams?
Nonprofit outdoor organizations claiming to “help” the DNR?
How about MSBA recommending the same construction and bond underwriting vendors for every school district in MN? Who is getting rich off that monopoly and are MSBA members and staff benefitting?
How many state employees operate or own a non profit or LCC and are taking state grant or vendor payments? Does anybody even look?

It’s time to clean up Minnesota, and we can’t wait for 1 US Attorney to do it all for us. We also have a $5 billion deficit to fill and we better start cracking on adding up the fraud with proof, or Walz and the RINO’s will just sales tax everything.

FEDS Investigate Minnesota After Dominating Performance By Trans Athlete In Girls Softball.

The Office of Civil Rights announced today (6-27-25) that they will be investigating Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League. This comes after MSHSL has defied Presidents Trumps executive to not allow men in women’s sports.

The investigation is the result of the recent dominating performance by a trans athlete in the Minnesota state tournament for girls softball.

Below is the press release from HHS.

HHS’ Civil Rights Office Acts to Promote Fairness in Girls’ Sports

OCR Investigates Minnesota for Allowing Males to Compete in Sports Reserved for Females

Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announces an investigation of the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League (Minnesota) under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).  The investigation will examine whether Minnesota engaged in discrimination on the basis of sex by allowing male athletes to compete on sports teams reserved for females.  

OCR enforces Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities of HHS funding recipients, such as the Minnesota Department of Education.  The Minnesota Department of Education has delegated responsibility over interscholastic sports competitions to the Minnesota State High School League, and as a result, it must also comply with Title IX.  

“Females cannot be relegated to the sidelines under Title IX,” said OCR Director Paula M. Stannard. “As a recipient of Federal funds, Title IX requires Minnesota to ensure fair and safe opportunities for females to compete on sex-segregated teams – regardless of state law obligations.”

OCR’s investigation responds to the recent participation of a male athlete in a female-only high school softball championship.  The male athlete’s participation was instrumental, leading the team to win the state title. 

Minnesota’s Attorney General has advised the Minnesota State High School League to follow state law and defy President Trump’s Executive Order on Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports, (E.O. 14201), which protects women “as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.”  Despite a U.S. Department of Justice letter restating the Administration’s position on Title IX, Minnesota has elevated state law above Title IX.

OCR’s action is part of a larger initiative to defend women and restore biological truth to the Federal government.


If you believe that you or someone else has been discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, religion, or the exercise of conscience in programs or activities that HHS directly operates or for which HHS provides Federal financial assistance, you may file a complaint with the HHS Office for Civil Rights at: https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/filing-a-complaint/index.html.

Trump Can’t Save Minnesota

Trump can’t fix Minnesota.

Tom Emmer can’t fix Minnesota.


Nothing done or passed in DC will affect 99% of what happens in Minnesota. In fact it could get even worse cuz Tampon Tim and his Mpls Cult feel required to go harder left to oppose all of Trump and Tom’s victories in DC.

Support and votes and red hats and t-shirts and Facebooks posts about Trump or Tom are great… but they don’t change a single thing here in Minnesota. Nobody should expect them to.

If you want change and you want Minnesota fixed you need to get involved with your local county Republican Party. You need to find a local (county or school board) or state candidate to support and volunteer for, even if it’s only 1 night calling from your couch using a dialer app. Every Minnesotan can donate $75 to their county party or a candidate, and get that money refunded back by the State of MN thru a campaign rebate program. Anybody can hand out lit at the local parade. Anybody can volunteer 2 hours for the booth at the county fair. Anybody can share good candidate info to their email list.

You can complain about Walz all you want, but if you don’t ever show up, never volunteer, and can’t even make a $50-75 loan to a good state candidate that gets refunded to you, we aren’t gonna change anything and we will be b1tching about Walz for another 4.5 years.

If you don’t like Walz or the Mpls Cult find a way to support and help a candidate running for State Rep or Senate or a statewide office like Attorney General or Governor. If you want to REALLY do something to get rid of the Mpls Cult of Crazy and Tampon Timmy and don’t know where to start or whom to contact? Send us a direct message…….

SHARE this if you think more people need to hear Trump ain’t gonna come save us in Minnesota…..

Gov. Walz Wanted Free Adult Illegal Alien Healthcare Removed

Trainwreck Tim Walz wanted adult illegal alien “free” healthcare removed from the budget, and he GAVE it to Republicans. They didn’t “win” it through tough negotiation.

Why?

  1. Most importantly Governor Gavin Newscum and Governor JB Pritzker are deleting their states’ “free” illegal alien healthcare program cuz they know it’s a liability as an “80/20 issue” they are on the wrong side of. These 2 are Walz’s Democrat opposition to RUN FOR PRESIDENT. He cannot be more extreme than the competition.
  2. As Senator Andrew Matthew’s stated in his last floor speech this year, the “free” illegal alien healthcare program was originally staffed and budgeted for only 5000 participants and has grown to over 20,000! Walz agreed to only give up the adult illegals in that 20,000. Illegal alien minors still remain on the “free” healthcare program and reports they are 25% of the total sign-ups. 25% x 20,000 = 5000 illegal aliens still on the program. Boom, adults off but the minor illegals remaining still consume the total original Trifecta Budget amount and state paid program and staffing. NO BUDGET CUTS BY REMOVING “ADULT” ILLEGALS, NO PROGRAM CUTS, NO STATE EMPLOYEE CUTS and the adults are still allowed “free” healthcare until January 2026.
  3. See above, there was no money in the Trifecta Budget renewal to continue funding ADULT illegal aliens without cutting another Democrat priority program or govt union jobs. Too bad, so sad, the only people actually cut off from “freebies” can’t vote.
  4. Walz and Dem Legislature leadership convinced the Republicans to take ownership of canceling the program and allow a full day of legislature complaining by the Democrat base to blame the Republicans for cutting it so Walz was not to blame.
  5. Adult freebie cancelation came just in time for US Congress testimony in DC, so Trainwreck could testify the State of MN is backtracking on freebies for illegals.
  6. Walz knew the media would blame Republicans and Republicans would also take the credit for partially reducing one program that saved $0 in the budget as their “victory”.

Does anybody with knowledge of the Republican legislature leadership actually think they are seasoned enough to have thread the needle of the math and budget as described above, and demanded this outcome? We dont. Walz wanted an illegal freebie gone and even managed to do it in such a way he had to cut $0 from the budget, fire or repurpose zero govt employees or programs, and place all blame from his base squarely on Republicans. Walz even got Republicans to vote to fully fund “free” healthcare for illegal minors, “free” illegal alien college , and the myriad of other programs illegal aliens qualify for in MN and brag how awesome the budget deal was…..

Trainwreck Walz may be a disaster, but he isn’t an idiot. He wanted free adult illegal alien healthcare gone, and did it in such a way his own party can’t blame him. This outcome was also a testimony to the leadership and negotiation skills of Rep. Melissa Hortman, God Rest Her Soul, to guarantee the final outcome.
