Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) stumped Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) at Thursday’s House Oversight Committee hearing when she asked him if he knows what a woman is.
The question came after a short discussion about whether or not Walz had ever been to Tiananmen Square, a plaza in Beijing where protestors were massacred in 1989. After Walz confirmed he’d once been to the Square, Mace asked for the year he was there.
“As I recall, January of 1990,” Walz replied.
“Okay. What is a woman?” Mace suddenly asked.

Walz appeared taken aback and only answered after Mace repeated the question.
“I’m not sure I understand the question here,” he replied.
The question posed by Mace has regularly stumped Democrats and was asked by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in 2022. At that time, Jackson replied that she could not provide a definition for the word &#8220;woman&#8221; because she&#8217;s &#8220;not a biologist.&#8221; Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh later released a documentary titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman?row=0&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;rowType=Square+Show+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a>,&#8221; which sought to answer the obvious question and expose the dark roots of gender ideology.
Walz came under scrutiny after Kamala Harris chose him as her presidential running mate for a Minnesota <a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF2497&amp;session_year=2023&amp;session_number=0&amp;version=latest#:~:text=ACCESS%20TO%20MENSTRUAL%20PRODUCTS.">law</a> requiring schools to provide free tampons to “all menstruating students.” The law did not distinguish between girls and boys, earning Walz the nickname “Tampon Tim.”
After Walz refused to answer Mace’s question, he asked, “What would you like me to say?”

Mace raised her voice and replied that she wanted him to say a woman is an “adult human female.”
“Men can’t become women!” she stated. “You guys are the party of violence and you’re the party erasing women. You don’t respect us! You’re a bigot, you’re a misogynist, you’re a sexist.”
She then turned to the chairman and yielded the floor.
Before this, Mace fired off multiple other questions, including one in which she asked whether or not Walz is “still friends with school shooters,” seemingly in an attempt to expose his ineptitude.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sharply criticized Minnesota Democratic Governor and failed vice president candidate Tim Walz for his handling of the 2020 Minneapolis riots while defending the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sends-another-2000-national-guard-troops-to-l-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deployment</a> of National Guardsmen and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles to protect against violent anti-ICE protests.
In a hearing on Capitol Hill, Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) noted how both she and Hegseth are from Minnesota and claimed President Donald Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles was “premature and escalatory,&#8221; insisting the situation in 2020 was &#8220;more volatile&#8221; when Walz called in the National Guard. Hegseth fired back after the congresswoman got to asking how the deployment in L.A. affected the defense budget and duties.

&#8220;You are right, we are both originally from Minnesota. Which is why I recall 2020 quite well, when Governor Walz abandoned a police precinct and allowed it to be burned to the ground — and also allowed five days of chaos to occur inside the streets of Minneapolis,&#8221; Hegseth said.
Hegseth took a swipe at California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-sues-trump-over-national-guard-deployment-says-president-manufactured-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued</a> Trump, Hegseth, and the Department of Defense <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/06/09/governor-newsom-suing-president-trump-and-department-of-defense-for-illegal-takeover-of-calguard-unit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over</a> the National Guard deployment in Los Angeles because he did not request it.
&#8220;The police precinct, ma&#8217;am, was abandoned and burned to the ground. And because of that, the National Guard was eventually — far too late — mobilized. And President Trump recognizes a situation like that improperly handled by a governor — like it was by Governor Walz — if it gets out of control, is a bad situation for the citizens of any location,&#8221; Hegseth said.
He added, &#8220;So in Los Angeles, we believe that ICE, which is a federal law enforcement agency, has the right to safely conduct operations in any state and any jurisdiction in the country, especially after 21 million illegals have crossed into our country in the previous administration. ICE ought to be able to do its job whether it&#8217;s Minneapolis or Los Angeles.&#8221;
McCollum tried stopping Hegseth, complaining that she had limited time and wanted to keep the focus on the budget — even though she had been the one to bring up the priority of the troop deployment to Los Angeles and Walz&#8217;s response to the Minneapolis riots.
&#8220;You asked about the situation in Los Angeles, and we believe ICE agents should be allowed to be safe in doing their operations,&#8221; Hegseth said. &#8220;And we have deployed National Guard and the Marines to protect them in the execution of their duties, because we ought [to] be able to enforce immigration law in this country, unlike Governor Walz did in 2020.&#8221;

A girls&#8217; high school softball team in Minnesota won its first-ever state championship on Friday thanks to the lights-out pitching of a boy who identifies as a girl.
The Champlin Park Rebels took down the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars 6-0 in the 4A title game, riding the arm of Marissa Rothenberger, a boy, who pitched the entire game, giving up just two hits to Bloomington Jefferson. In the Rebels&#8217; three-game tournament title run, Rothenberger pitched all 21 innings for the team, allowing just two runs.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Champlin Park advanced to the state championship in a comeback win against White Bear Lake on Wednesday, with Rothenberger, a junior, hitting two huge doubles that sparked a rally for the Rebels, Outkick <a href="https://www.outkick.com/sports/trans-pitcher-champlin-park-white-bear-lake-minnesota-softball-semifinals">reported</a>. According to the outlet, two fathers of girls on White Bear Lake &#8220;expressed deep frustration with the system that allowed their daughters to compete against a male athlete.&#8221;
One dad specifically called out Democrats for allowing boys to compete against girls in Minnesota. &#8220;You&#8217;re looking at a whole team of future Republicans,&#8221; he said.
The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) allows athletes to compete “consistent with their gender identity or expression in an environment free from discrimination with an equal opportunity for participation in athletics and fine arts,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.startribune.com/why-did-us-rep-tom-emmer-single-out-a-teenage-transgender-athlete-on-social-media/601365117">The Minnesota Star Tribune</a>. In February, the Trump administration opened an investigation into the MSHSL over its transgender policy after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect women&#8217;s sports. Trump has gone after some states, such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-vows-large-scale-fines-on-california-after-boy-wins-girls-track-events">California</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sics-his-doj-on-maine-over-men-in-womens-sports">Maine</a>, threatening to cut off federal funding if they continue to allow boys to compete against girls.

The MSHSL did not respond when The Daily Wire asked if it would change its policy after Champlin Park&#8217;s state championship.
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has been blasted by conservatives and women&#8217;s sports advocates for allowing boys to play against girls in his state. Walz has made the transgender issue a big part of his platform, turning the state into a “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/07/tim-walz-minnesota-trans-refuge-bill/">trans refuge</a>” and supporting life-altering gender procedures on children.
Along with leading his team to the state championship, Rothenberger also received &#8220;All-Tournament Team&#8221; honors, according to Outkick reporter Amber Harding Snyder. Rothenberger was pictured towering over the girls selected for the &#8220;All-Tournament Team.&#8221;

Rothenberger was born “Charlie Dean,” but after turning 9 years old, his mother applied to the Hennepin County District Court to change the name and sex on her child’s birth certificate, a request that was approved, according to documents obtained by <a href="https://reduxx.info/we-need-sex-screening-womens-sports-watchdog-calls-for-mandatory-sex-screening-after-male-student-uses-fake-birth-certificate-to-join-girls-softball-teams/">Reduxx</a>. Rothenberger reportedly kept his gender transition hidden from his teammates, but one of his former teammates, who spoke to Reduxx on the condition of anonymity, said that eventually girls and parents started to figure it out. Rothenberger has reportedly shared locker rooms, bathrooms, and rooms with teammates while traveling for games.

We&#8217;re at the point where pretty much every square-inch of the Shiloh Hendrix racial slur controversy has been debated and overanalyzed ad nauseam. It&#8217;s an n-bomb that, we&#8217;re told, rivals the destructive power of anything we dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. But despite all of the coverage, probably the single most important aspect of the story — which is how exactly Minnesota woman Shiloh Hendrix ended up in a playground with two individuals &#8220;of Somali heritage&#8221; in the first place — still hasn&#8217;t been widely discussed. And that&#8217;s too bad, because that&#8217;s the part of the story that elevates it beyond a discussion about Shiloh Hendrix and language policing. It&#8217;s a question that has significant relevance to every American citizen. So it&#8217;s worth asking: Why exactly were those two individuals 8,000 miles away from Somalia?  And what are so many Somalis doing in this country, and in particular in Minnesota?
We&#8217;ll start with the specific location of this now-infamous incident, the city of Rochester. Rochester is the third-most populous city in the state of Minnesota. It originated as a humble stagecoach stop for travellers between St. Paul and Iowa before a part-time farmer and surgeon named William Mayo put the town on the map. During the Civil War, Mayo (who was born in England) moved to Rochester and began examining draftees to the Union army. Within a few years, he established what would become the Mayo Clinic — which now consistently ranks as the best hospital in the country, if not the world. Rochester, in other words, is an example of American excellence. To the extent that foreign nationals moved into Rochester, like William Mayo, it was to make the city a much better place for everyone.
But somewhere along the way, starting in the past few decades, the people running the state of Minnesota, including Tim Walz, decided to import a large group of people — not to improve the lives of American citizens in Rochester, but to secure a new and very loyal constituency. In particular, tens of thousands of refugees from the African nation of Somalia began pouring into the state, and many of them settled in Rochester. In fact, so many Somalis have now settled in Rochester that the city recently opened an entire community center just for them. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 somali nonprofit" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0V0Glp0CFPI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
When William Mayo moved into Rochester, of course, he didn&#8217;t demand a community center for British citizens. He didn&#8217;t call for a segregated location where they could talk among themselves, away from those dastardly Americans. And he certainly didn&#8217;t start some fake &#8220;nonprofit&#8221; to do so, in order to secure a lot of taxpayer money and some write-offs. Instead, he did something productive. He built a medical practice that benefited the entire community and ultimately the entire world.

But that&#8217;s not remotely what Rochester&#8217;s Somali population is interested in doing. Instead, they&#8217;ve created a web of nonprofits, to the point that every single news report involving Somalis in Rochester will inevitably mention a nonprofit at one point.
Here&#8217;s yet another example. This is a news report in which Somalis in Rochester celebrate their own country&#8217;s independence — not America&#8217;s independence, but Somalia&#8217;s independence. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="002 somali independence" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VNx_gtGROJg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Minnesota is the &#8220;Second home&#8221; of Somalis, as you just heard. Therefore, they have their own independence day and their own soccer championship. They host events for their own country because they understand, very well, that they aren&#8217;t part of the United States. And they don&#8217;t want to be.
Instead, the Somali population of Minnesota has committed itself to defrauding this country at every available opportunity. They have imported every bit of the corruption and wide-scale fraud that has destroyed Somalia.
In 2022, prosecutors announced <a href="https://x.com/siegfriedmuell/status/1918865673792418239">federal charges</a> against dozens of defendants who ripped off a federally-funded child nutrition program during the pandemic, to the tune of 250 million dollars. They claimed they served meals, and then they didn&#8217;t actually serve them. We&#8217;re talking about more than <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/somali-nonprofit-got-a-million-dollar-cut-from-feeding-our-future-prosecutors-say/">70 defendants</a> here, and most of them were Somalis.
As the <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/somali-nonprofit-got-a-million-dollar-cut-from-feeding-our-future-prosecutors-say/">Minnesota Reformer</a> states:
<blockquote>A dizzying array of nonprofits were created or revived to participate in a U.S. Department of Agriculture program to provide free meals to children during the pandemic. &#8230; Two Minnesota nonprofits are at the center of the case — Feeding Our Future and Partners in Nutrition — in what prosecutors say was the nation’s biggest pandemic relief fraud.  &#8230;  An FBI forensic accountant testified Wednesday that the largest food distribution site out of the 50 sites connected to the defendants was at the Dar Al-Farooq mosque in Bloomington, where they claimed to serve 1.9 million meals in 2021, for $4.9 million in reimbursement.</blockquote>
This fraud, unsurprisingly, was apparently enabled by Democrats in the Minnesota legislature.
As the outlet <a href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/23/somali-nonprofit-got-a-million-dollar-cut-from-feeding-our-future-prosecutors-say/">reports</a>:
<blockquote>Rep. Hodan Hassan withdrew two bills that would’ve given the [Somali nonprofit called &#8220;Somali Community Resettlement Services&#8221;] a total of $6.5 million in grants. &#8230; Evidence prepared for the federal trial linked the nonprofit to the Feeding Our Future case. &#8230; It sponsored eight distribution sites in Minnesota cities where the defendants claimed to serve thousands of meals and snacks daily in 2020 and 2021, for which it was reimbursed over $2.9 million. Of that, the Somali nonprofit paid the defendants and their various entities purporting to be serving meals $1.83 million, meaning it kept nearly $1.1 million.</blockquote>
In other words, the Somali population of Minnesota isn&#8217;t just ripping off American taxpayers. They&#8217;re electing corrupt representatives who are helping facilitate the fraud, one way or another. To be clear, unpacking all of the various fraudulent operations at work here would take about five years, so I&#8217;m not going to attempt it. Instead I&#8217;ll focus on one aspect of this story, which really highlights the comical and absurd level of corruption at work here.
During one of these trials, some of the defendants hatch a plan to bribe a juror with $200,000. They decide to just drop it at the juror&#8217;s front door, along with a note explaining that it&#8217;s a bribe. So it&#8217;s not the most subtle operation. But then a funny thing happens. As the courier is taking the money to the juror&#8217;s front porch, she skims $80,000 from the bribe money and keeps it for herself, without telling her co-conspirators. 
So even the Somalis are scamming other Somalis here. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 bribe Feeding our Future juror" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gPQKARM4e9M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You have to imagine this kind of thing happens constantly in Somalia, and in places like Rochester. Bribery is a common part of the culture in Africa. I’ll never forget landing in the airport in Nairobi a few years ago and having officials at the airport demand a bribe like 5 minutes after we got off the plane. If you drive anywhere in these African countries, it&#8217;s recommended that you have cash on you to pay bribes to the cops in case you get stopped. Like I said, it&#8217;s part of the culture there. And now it&#8217;s part of the culture in Minnesota. Whenever fraudsters are extremely brazen about their crimes, it usually means that they&#8217;ve done it many, many times before without any consequences. In this case, they just happened to run into a juror with a basic sense of morality. And of course, even when they&#8217;re caught, they&#8217;re totally shameless about it. Calling this an endemic problem would be a major understatement.
On Reddit, just to emphasize the point, there&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Somalia/comments/124x9l9/question_on_possibly_moving_to_mn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">topic</a> called: &#8220;Question on possibly moving to Minnesota.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s the question: &#8220;Salaam my brothers and sisters. Thinking about moving to Rochester, Minnesota for a job, is there a large Somali community there?&#8221;
And here&#8217;s one of the top-rated replies: &#8220;From what I understand there is a fairly large Somali community in Rochester. The community is tight knit from what I hear, they’ll even cut you in on their latest scams. Best of luck!&#8221;
One of the reasons this fraud is so prevalent — other than the fact that many Somalis, like Ilhan Omar, despise this country — is that they don&#8217;t have the capacity to do anything else. Something like 54% of Somalis in Minnesota are <a href="https://www.sctimes.com/story/news/local/immigration/2018/02/24/state-demographer-offers-some-context-somali-refugee-poverty-numbers/370507002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">below</a> the poverty line, compared to 12% of people living in Minnesota overall. Roughly 65% of Somali children live in poverty. The numbers are similar in the UK, where 72% of Somalis live in socialized housing, even though they only make up 16% of the population. There isn&#8217;t a single Western society on Earth that&#8217;s been improved by importing large quantities of Somalis, and the lives of these Somalis aren&#8217;t really improving that much either. They&#8217;re simply bringing corruption, violence and poverty wherever they go.
And they were apparently bringing some antisocial behavior to the playground in Rochester, if Shiloh Hendrix&#8217;s version of events is true. As she put it, a black child, reportedly of &#8220;Somali heritage,&#8221; tried to take items from her bag. Then, after calling the black child a slur in some manner, Hendrix was accosted by a Somali man who&#8217;s completely unrelated to the black child. And that Somali man, as we discussed the other day, has a history of sexual assault allegations that were later dropped in court.
From Shiloh Hendrix&#8217;s perspective, let&#8217;s recap: She wanted to enjoy a day at the park with her child in Rochester. But she couldn&#8217;t enjoy it because, like so many other cities in Minnesota, Rochester has deliberately imported a lot of third-world behavior. Put aside whether she&#8217;s a good person or a bad person, or whether she used a bad word. Instead, put what happened in context. Consider the fact that Minnesota&#8217;s &#8220;Cedar Riverside&#8221; neighborhood has been nicknamed &#8220;Little Mogadishu&#8221; because there&#8217;s so many Somali migrants flooding in. And then consider the fact that Little Mogadishu has seen a 56% increase in violent crime from 2010 to 2018, right when the Somali population was surging. Imagine living through this. Imagine that the local parks — which were once a point of pride for Rochester — are now full of people who are incapable of behaving like they belong in civilization. How exactly would you respond in that scenario?
You&#8217;d probably be exasperated. You might even say something naughty on camera. But if you did say, it really wouldn&#8217;t serve any purpose to blame you. It&#8217;d be like blaming a driver if he crashes in a poorly-designed intersection. Yes, the driver made a mistake. But the real problem, which the government engineered, is what actually needs to be addressed. In the case of Shiloh Hendrix, that&#8217;s not happening.
After my commentary the other day, in which I voiced my support for Hendrix&#8217;s fundraiser as a way of dealing a death blow to cancel culture, I&#8217;ve been accused of belonging to the so-called &#8220;woke right,&#8221; or using &#8220;third rail tactics&#8221; that are typical of the &#8220;woke right.&#8221; No one&#8217;s ever explained what exactly any of these terms mean, or how a monologue in which I explicitly condemned cancel culture could be described as &#8220;woke&#8221; in any meaningful way.
But the point of these allegations about the &#8220;woke right&#8221; isn&#8217;t to make sense. The point is to derail the conversation, so that everyone&#8217;s talking about labels and meta-analysis, instead of Shiloh Hendrix and what&#8217;s happened to cities like Rochester. Without much fanfare, large portions of this country have been converted into miniature versions of Somalia. You can see the evidence everywhere — from community centers to parks to playgrounds.
And if you really want to understand the Shiloh Hendrix story, which not many people do, then you can start by explaining to her — and everyone else in Rochester — what exactly two individuals of &#8220;Somali heritage&#8221; were doing in that playground in the first place. Why exactly are we importing Somalians into this country en masse? In what way has it improved American society? That’s a fair question. It&#8217;s also a forbidden one. Just like it&#8217;s forbidden to state the obvious here: nobody wants to live in a community overrun with Somalian immigrants. If you had a choice to live in a community where 60% of the population is Somalian, or one where zero percent is Somalian, you would choose the latter. Every single person would. And we all know it.
What&#8217;s more, if you had a choice between living next door to Shiloh Hendrix, or living next door to the Somalian accused child abuser who was filming her, you&#8217;d choose Shiloh every time. Every single person would. And we all know it.
So then why are we doing this? Why are going out of our way to make our communities in this country resemble the worst and most dysfunctional countries on the planet? Can you explain that? If you can’t, then you have no business telling anyone who has to live amid this dysfunction what they can and can’t say. Whether that makes me a member of the &#8220;woke right&#8221; or not, I don&#8217;t really care. It&#8217;s true — and everyone living in places like Rochester knows it very well.

Three Democratic governors are set to testify before the House Oversight Committee next month as they face questions about state policies that inhibit federal immigration enforcement.
The House Oversight Committee said Tuesday that Governors JB Pritzker of Illinois, Kathy Hochul of New York, and Tim Walz of Minnesota will appear on June 12 to testify about immigration enforcement in their states. As the Trump administration has promised mass deportations, Democratic officials across the country have indicated that they will not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security.
“Sanctuary policies only provide sanctuaries for criminal illegal aliens. Former President Biden created the worst border crisis in U.S. history and allowed criminal illegal aliens to flood our communities. President Trump has ended this crisis and now we have the most secure borders in decades,&#8221; House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) said.
&#8220;The Trump Administration is taking decisive action to deport criminal illegal aliens from our nation but reckless sanctuary states like Illinois, Minnesota, and New York are actively seeking to obstruct federal immigration enforcement,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The governors of these states must explain why they are prioritizing the protection of criminal illegal aliens over the safety of U.S. citizens, and they must be held accountable.&#8221;
Illinois has been a sanctuary state <a href="https://www.fairus.org/issue/do-you-live-1-11-sanctuary-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">since</a> 2017, when then-Governor Bruce Rauner (R) signed the Illinois Trust Act, which blocked local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration enforcement actions. In New York, state agencies are not allowed to work with ICE, and a state court ruled that neither state nor local law enforcement should hold illegal immigrants at ICE&#8217;s request.
Legislation to make Minnesota a sanctuary state has failed in recent years despite pushes from Walz and the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.
&#8220;My position on Minnesota becoming a sanctuary state boils down to who has the responsibility for enforcing immigration laws,&#8221; Walz <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/jeff-johnson-tim-walz-minnesota-sanctuary-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in 2018. &#8220;The role of law enforcement is to enforce state and local laws, not federal immigration laws, and I strongly believe that they should not do so.&#8221;
According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), there are currently eleven &#8220;sanctuary states,&#8221; including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, in addition to the District of Columbia.
The hearing with the governors follows one in April, where the House Oversight Committee also questioned the mayors of sanctuary cities like Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York.

Editor’s Note: Last week was all about 100 days of President Donald Trump. But what if he lost on November 5, 2024? We spent the week thinking about this Bizarro World alternate universe.
&#8212;
Just over one hundred days ago, President Kamala Harris placed her hand on a signed copy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s memoir and took the Oath of Office.
It’s been a tumultuous few months since America’s first black-Indian-female president moved her power suits and boxes of unsold “I’m Speaking” t-shirts into the Oval Office. The Daily Wire has done its best to keep up with the firehose of news coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and while we appreciate you joining us on this journey, we understand if you’ve had a hard time keeping up.
So, to mark this milestone of the Harris administration, let’s take stock of where we are.
The Harris-Walz administration has some pretty major problems, both at home and abroad. But you wouldn’t know based on the smiling faces at the White House Easter Egg Roll, which this year was dually billed as the Transgender Day of Visibility Parade.
First Gentleman Doug Emhoff was all smiles dancing to Katy Perry. In lieu of a traditional Easter bunny, children posed with Emhoff’s daughter, Ella, who donned bunny ears and dyed her armpit hair festive pastels for the occasion. Second Lady Gwen Walz was set to hold court at the Planned Parenthood Storybook Corner, but her delivery of “Pat The Bunny” was reportedly so disconcerting that most children fled in tears.
Not present at the event was Harris&#8217;s predecessor, Joe Biden, who you&#8217;ll remember was granted a full and unconditional pardon from Harris just hours after being sworn in. Harris also pardoned Hunter Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the members of the House January 6 Committee. All the pardons date back to 2014, an unprecedented sweep that had even some of Harris’s allies shocked. Legal experts say the only thing more shocking would have been for Biden to issue the pardons himself on his last day in office.
From there, it was off to the races. A group of red state attorneys general challenged Biden’s 11th-hour executive order declaring the Equal Rights Amendment “the law of the land.” The case made its way to the Supreme Court, where Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals in a surprise 5-4 ruling, which held that public assertions of gender binaries were a violation of federal law.
Despite an almost complete lack of judicial challenges to her executive orders, President Harris’s agenda has not moved the needle on most of the issues facing Americans today. Nowhere is this clearer than the economy, where the Harris administration’s efforts to pull the country out of Biden’s economic mess have been hampered by her refusal to admit her predecessor’s mistakes or in any way deviate from his playbook.
Rather than cut taxes or play hardball with American trading partners, Harris has taken to giving pep talks. The latest, from an address marking her 100th day in office, shows that she’s not making much use of the White House speechwriting staff.
“Who saw that video from a couple weeks ago, the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake?” Harris asked the crowd at Emerge, a gala dedicated to honoring Democratic women. “Here those elephants were, and as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet, they got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable. Think about it. What a powerful metaphor.”
An unedited video of the speech posted by The Daily Wire was removed from Facebook, which has doubled down on censorship since Harris won the election. The newly formed Hate Speech Commission, co-chaired by Al Sharpton and Robin DiAngelo, said criticizing Harris&#8217;s speech was &#8220;bigoted.&#8221;
Harris’s commitment to “the most vulnerable” doesn&#8217;t seem to extend to the countless Americans murdered by illegal aliens, as illegal border crossings continue to beat previous records. Some 480,000 illegals have entered the country over the past 100 days. Like Biden did for Harris when she was vice president, Harris anointed Vice President Walz her border czar. Walz has done little to strengthen the border or keep criminal aliens from entering our country. Instead, the vice president spends most of his time wining and dining transgender athletes at White House ceremonies.
Things don’t look much better abroad. Hamas has not released a single hostage, and the bloody stalemate in Gaza seems destined to drag on as Harris and Secretary of State Pete Buttigieg issue nothing stronger than warnings for both sides to abide by international law.
Iran-backed Houthi terrorists continue their assaults on American and European ships, and Tehran, emboldened by its progress on developing a nuclear weapon, is becoming more and more brazen about funding the terrorists.
And Russia’s attacks on Ukraine continue apace, with Kyiv showing no signs that the latest $10 billion in American aid is doing much to win the war. Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky — whose rude performance in a February Oval Office meeting was met with further groveling from Harris and Walz — seems undeterred in his demands. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s propaganda machine has ceaselessly mocked Harris and Walz for their weakness on the world stage.
It’s unclear what will come from the next 100 days. Health and Human Services Secretary Vivek Murthy seems hellbent on following his tobacco ban by making red meat illegal, and Attorney General Cory Booker will almost certainly hold another press conference where he compares library fines to segregation. For our sake, let’s hope Secretary of State Buttigieg doesn’t have another gaffe like he had in Riyadh.
Press Secretary Harry Sisson did not respond to a request for comment.
To buoy their spirits, Republicans have jumped the gun on 2028 speculation. Senator JD Vance, resettling in the upper chamber, has demurred whenever approached about a potential campaign. And while former president Donald Trump has stoked 2028 speculation on Truth Social, it remains to be seen whether he’ll mount a third campaign.
As of this writing, Trump was last seen returning to Mar-A-Lago after a round of golf. Video shows the former president shaking hands and posing for pictures with guests, occasionally turning to the crowd to ask: “Miss me yet?”

Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s daughter, Hope Walz, said the sport of running is “privileged.”
The 24-year-old posted a two-minute tirade against the idea of running to her TikTok account. “Running as an act is political. And you know who taught me that? Tim Walz,” she said. “The first thing he told me when I was getting into it in high school — granted, I don’t really do it as much anymore, I go in spurts — but when I first [was] getting into it in high school, the first thing he told me was that running is a privilege and being part of the running community is a privilege that not all people have access to.”

 <script async src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>
Walz went on to explain some of the “privileged” aspects of running, which include “time to run,” “access to funds to buy the gear,” “access to … healthy, quality food,” and “access to a safe, stable situation that allows you to be in a good mental state to be able to run.”
“All of those things are hard to come by, and if you have them and you are a part of the running community, that is a privilege,” Hope Walz said. “That, again, was the first thing he taught me.”
Walz’s rant comes just after running influencer Kate Mackz filmed a video with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. This seemed to especially trigger the former vice presidential candidate’s daughter, as her dad also did an interview with Mackz, which is still “pinned” to Mackz’s page.

Walz attacked the running influencer for “platforming” the current administration, then went on to list her grievances with President Trump and his policies.
“Cutting funds to climate initiatives, sending people away without due process, villainizing minorities, all of those things are preventing people from getting into the running community, which is what I thought Kate’s platform was for, but it’s also just damaging to society as a whole,” she said. “We should not be normalizing these people.”
“You don’t get to ‘both sides’ this. It’s not both sides. We are quite literally talking about good versus evil here,” Walz said, adding how it’s “extremely disappointing.”

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) claimed during a recent &#8220;listening tour&#8221; event that former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate because he could &#8220;code talk to white guys&#8221; and provide a &#8220;permission structure&#8221; in which they might feel comfortable voting for a black woman.
Walz spoke Monday evening at a Harvard Kennedy School forum — and after stating that he had no plans to run for the Democratic nomination in 2028, he explained what he believed he&#8217;d brought to the table during the 2024 presidential campaign.

&#8220;I was the permission structure to say, look, you can do this, and vote for this,&#8221; Walz continued. &#8220;And if you look across those swing states, with the exception of Minnesota, we didn&#8217;t get enough &#8230;&#8221;

A &#8220;really important week&#8221; in peace talks is coming up after President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-meets-with-zelensky-at-vatican-ahead-of-popes-funeral-very-productive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met</a> with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican over the weekend amid the funeral for Pope Francis, according to the Trump administration&#8217;s top diplomat.
Russia and Ukraine are &#8220;closer in general than they&#8217;ve been any time in the last three years&#8221; to reaching an end to their war, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/marco-rubio-says-russia-and-ukraine-both-have-to-give-something-up-for-peace-full-interview-238424645879" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meet The Press,</a>&#8221; although he conceded the two sides have not yet reached a resolution.
This past week, Rubio told moderator Kristen Welker, &#8220;has really been about figuring out how close are these sides really, and are they close enough that this merits a continued investment of our time as a mediator in this regard.&#8221;
Rubio said he thinks it would be &#8220;silly&#8221; to set a specific date for a peace agreement. &#8220;I can just tell you that almost 100 days into this presidency, the president has dedicated a tremendous amount of time and energy to this, and we think we brought the sides closer than they&#8217;ve been in a very long time,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;But we&#8217;re not there yet, and it needs to start happening,&#8221; Rubio continued. &#8220;We need to start — I think this is going to be a very critical week. This week is going to be a really important week in which we have to make a determination about whether this is an endeavor that we want to continue to be involved in, or if it&#8217;s time to sort of focus on some other issues that are equally, if not more, important in some cases, but we want to see it happen. There are reasons to be optimistic, but there are reasons to be realistic, of course, as well. We&#8217;re close, but we&#8217;re not close enough.&#8221;
The White House said the meeting at the Vatican was &#8220;very productive,&#8221; a sign of progress after an explosive <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-explodes-on-zelensky-for-making-the-worst-statement-on-the-ukraine-russia-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confrontation</a> between Trump and Zelensky at the White House earlier this year. Trump also criticized Russia for continuing to attack Ukraine. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-putin-might-have-to-be-dealt-with-differently" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggested</a> that Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to be “dealt with differently” moving forward. All that happened after Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/apr/25/steve-witkoff-moscow-vladimir-putin-volodymyr-zelenskyy-russia-ukraine-peace-plan-talks-europe-latest-updates-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traveled</a> to Moscow on Friday to meet with Putin and discuss ending the war.
One major point of contention has been territory. While Zelensky <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/world/europe/ukraine-cease-fire-talks.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a> that Ukraine will not &#8220;legally recognize&#8221; Russia&#8217;s occupation of Crimea, Trump <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-crimea-stay-with-russia-ukraine-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Crimea will &#8220;stay with Russia.&#8221;
In an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6371995251112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures,&#8221; National Security Advisor Mike Waltz emphasized both Russia and Ukraine need a desire to end the war for the years-long conflict to come to a close when anchor Maria Bartiromo asked him if Zelensky understands that he&#8217;s likely not going to get more land back.
&#8220;There&#8217;s been a number of discussions of territory, of what they need to make sure that this war never continues, that it is permanent,&#8221; Waltz said. &#8220;We have talked to our European partners, who you saw the images of both Starmer from the United Kingdom and Macron from France, that Europe has to step up. I know that you have ambassador Whitaker, our new NATO ambassador, who&#8217;s fantastic coming on, on talking about how the Europeans need to take the lead in the future.&#8221;
He added: &#8220;All of those things are key parts of the discussion with both Zelensky and with Putin. And next is to drive both sides to the table, but they both have to want it. And the president has expressed his frustrations in whether both sides genuinely want to end this war. But he is determined to have the United States of America and him — I will just say this: the current leader of NATO, who was here this week, said only President Trump could break the deadlock that we saw 100 days ago under the Biden administration. And he&#8217;s done just that, starting with his call with both Putin and Zelensky just a few months ago.&#8221;
Uncertainty also rests with a rare earth minerals deal between the United States and Ukraine that has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stop-the-bloodshed-trump-says-russia-and-ukraine-are-very-close-to-peace-deal">discussed</a> for months but has yet to be finalized.
The agreement is &#8220;going to get done,&#8221; Waltz said. &#8220;The negotiators were working hard over the weekend. That is first and foremost on both [Treasury] Secretary Bessent and the president&#8217;s mind. It&#8217;s going to get done, Maria. The president is determined to make it so.&#8221;

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, who <a href="https://x.com/CrimeWatchMpls/status/1913268726813827421" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes himself</a> as a fiscal policy analyst for the state Department of Human Services on social media, was caught on video keying different Teslas in the Minneapolis area. One owner of a victimized Tesla told the <a href="https://www.startribune.com/suspect-in-tesla-vandalizing-spree-in-minneapolis-to-be-entered-into-diversion-and-not-charged/601334027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota Star Tribune</a> that the marks on her car appeared to be a failed attempt to carve a swastika.
“Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable,” Hennepin County Attorney&#8217;s Office spokesman Daniel Borgertpoepping stated. “As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals. This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses.

“Participants in the county attorney’s diversion program are expected to sign a contract which could include conditions like community service and restitution payments,” the Star Tribune noted.
“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara reacted. “It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney&#8217;s Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.”
“We are reviewing the matter at this time,” Minnesota DHS stated to the Star Tribune. “State employees are expected to follow our code of conduct and hold themselves to the highest ethical standards through their words and actions.”
Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County Attorney, was a former public defender who became Hennepin County Attorney in January 2023. “She vowed to make police more accountable and change the culture of an office she believes had long overemphasized punishment without addressing the root causes of crime,” KFGO <a href="https://kfgo.com/2024/07/30/hennepin-county-prosecutor-facing-backlash-but-vows-to-endure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in July 2024.
Attorney Gretchen Gray-Larson, who retired in July 2023 from the county attorney’s office after 33 years, said colleagues of hers who kept working in the office were not happy, adding, “People are afraid to talk. The morale is horrible.”

Walz Admin Staffer Walks Free After Doing $20K Damage To Teslas

The 24-year-old daughter of Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz released a TikTok video in which she claimed that if Jesus Christ lived in the United States, the Trump administration would deport him and claim he was part of a deadly gang.
Walz appeared to be making a reference to 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Democrats have sought for Garcia to be sent back to the United States, claiming that he has been denied due process.
“If Jesus were alive today and in the United States, this administration would already have taken him and removed him from this country without due process, claimed he was a member of the MS-13 gang as a way to try to justify not giving him due process, as if there is any justifiable reason to not giving somebody due process,” Walz declared.
“Some people don’t want to talk about that,” she continued. “It truly is baffling how clear and laid out everything is and there is [sic] still people standing by it. I believe in the good of people, and like, humanity, humans, you know, deep down at our core, like, we care about each other. But that’s really being tested, because how anyone is OK with this is terrifying to me. But yeah, if you look like me, speak up, speak out, because we might be the only ones safe from what’s coming and some of the only people that are able to stop it.”

The Department of Homeland Security has said it has evidence that Garcia was involved in MS-13.
“Two judges found that he was a member of MS-13. That finding has not been disturbed. Intelligence reports found that he was involved in human trafficking,&#8221; Homeland Security <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/04/16/kilmar-abrego-garcia-ms-13-gang-member-history-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;He is an illegal alien from El Salvador. He claimed fear of being returned to El Salvador because he would be persecuted by MS-13&#8217;s rival gang, Barrio-18. Jennifer Vasquez, Garcia’s wife, petitioned for an order of protection against him. She claimed he punched her, scratched her, and ripped off her shirt, and bruised her.”
According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, MS-13 is well known for its extreme violence and brutality.
“One of the largest and most violent criminal organizations in the United States is MS-13, which has over 10,000 members in as many as 40 states,” ICE <a href="https://www.ice.gov/about-ice/hsi/investigate/transnational-gangs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>. “The gang is known for its extreme violence, including its brutal initiation rituals and acts of intimidation and retaliation against rival gangs, law enforcement officials and community members.”

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) warned Democrats during a recent speech against &#8220;demonizing&#8221; people simply because they have built businesses and earned some measure of success — but he gave them a free pass to go ahead and &#8220;demonize&#8221; billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.
Walz, who spent time during the 2024 presidential campaign criticizing current Vice President JD Vance&#8217;s humble upbringing, made the comments during a town hall in Youngstown, Ohio.

&#8220;I think Democrats, supporting families, supporting the working class, supporting unions — but I think we have to separate and have a message here: It’s okay in America to be successful, we should celebrate that when people are successful,&#8221; Walz said. &#8220;My beef is — what my beef is, once you get successful, don’t be a greedy bastard and not pay your taxes, don&#8217;t do that.&#8221;
&#8220;Let those young men who see this — now, I would argue this: we&#8217;re creating a false narrative from them that everybody is super-rich and has Lamborghinis and life is easy, but that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to have to figure out in our society about social media and all those things,&#8221; he continued.
&#8220;But I don&#8217;t think that we should be the party that demonizes someone because they&#8217;re able to afford something or they&#8217;re able to work hard and got something,&#8221; Walz added. &#8220;What we should demonize is people like Elon Musk and those people that do that &#8230; that&#8217;s different. That&#8217;s different.&#8221;
Walz&#8217;s comments come amid weeks of physical and sometimes violent attacks — both on individually owned Teslas and on Tesla dealerships — aimed at Musk over his involvement with President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
And Walz, who lost his own bid for the vice-presidency last November, is not the only high-ranking Democrat who refused to denounce the recent violence. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, when confronted over the attacks on Teslas, would not condemn them.
&#8220;I can&#8217;t talk about Tesla, but Elon Musk is a disaster for America,&#8221; Schumer <a href="https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1909812151973192082" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
