Press Statement Black Lives Matter Selection of Kamala Harris |

Oh this is precious.

Subverting the Democrat process is hypocritical of the Democrat Party elites says Black Lives Matter.

While Joe Biden wasn’t our preferred candidate, we cannot ignore the troubling actions of the Democratic Party:

🔺The DNC refused to host debates during the primary, even though a vast majority of Democratic voters wanted them. This would have likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden in 2023.

🔺The DNC changed the primary schedule and created rules that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot, effectively clearing the field of any challengers to the incumbent president.

🔺Following the primary where millions of Black voters weighed in, after one poor debate performance, the DNC Party elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race.

Let us be clear: This is about the Democratic Party following a process that protects the legitimacy of any future Democratic president following this unprecedented moment. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites. It would undermine their credibility on issues related to democracy. Imagine our first Black woman president not having won some sort of public nomination process. blacklivesmatter.com/black-lives-ma…Image

🧵Progressive Tim Walz History

8!post thread on the alarming radical progressive Governor Tim Walz, his unsavory alliances and his policies.

Tim Walz signed abortion bill into law allowing failed abortion babies to die after birth.

In the first year after the bill was passed, five infant babies died without even receiving “life-saving care” or “comfort care,” how cruel can you be? 1/Image

Tim Walz China Connection |

The ties Tim Walz has with China and Chinese manufacturers reaches back approximately forty years. 👇You’ll want to bookmark, share and comment on this post.

Governor Tim Walz was guest speaker at the 2019 a USCPFA 27th National Convention. The key moderator and speaker was University of Minnesota Asian Studies Prof. Emeritus Edward (Ted) Farmer, and early founder of USCPFA Minnesota Chapter.

The US-China Peoples Friendship Association (USCPFA) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) educational organization. Their goal is to develop and strengthen friendship and understanding between the peoples of the United States and China. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz spoke at the convention based on his time as an educator in China (Tatwan) in the 1980s; he was invited to speak about his experiences and Minnesota's connections with China.

The Star Tribune reported about the University of Minnesota Confusion Center explaining “the federal government is also casting an increasingly critical eye on the relationship between U.S. universities and China. In 2019, the U was one of more than a dozen U.S. universities that shuttered their Confucius Institute — Chinese government-sponsored centers to promote that country's language and culture — under pressure from federal lawmakers, who branded them hotbeds of academic espionage.” Chinese students now make up 45% of all international students on the university's campuses.

“The 2018 arrest in Minneapolis of a billionaire participant in a U program for high-level Chinese executives drew its own uncomfortable spotlight.
Meredith McQuaid, the U's dean of international programs, and other administrators stress that despite current political tensions, the U has no plans to retrench: University officials hope to open a second outpost in China and deepen ties with the U's closest academic partners there.”

In May 2024, Governor Tim Walz announced the Polar Semiconductor investment with the U.S. Department of Commerce, state and regional economic development officials, and company leaders. Polar Semiconductor will invest $525 million to expand its Bloomington manufacturing facility, leveraging $120 million in direct funding as part of the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and a $75 million investment from the Minnesota Forward Fund, a State of Minnesota initiative to fuel business expansion.

The ties of the joint partnership’s with Polar Semiconductor reach far back to China. In 1988, Sanken established Fukushima Sanken Co., Ltd Establishment of Sanken Electric Hong Kong Co., Ltd.

The day Governor Tim Walz announced the Minnesota CHIP manufacturing investment, Polar Semiconductor confirmed Sanken Electric will be jointly owned by Sanken Electric Ltd. “Polar will be majority-owned by Niobrara Capital and Prysm Capital. Polar is currently jointly owned by Sanken Electric Co., Ltd. (“Sanken”) (6707.T) and Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro”) (Nasdaq: ALGM). Sanken and Allegro will maintain their investments in Polar.” Press release attached. 2/Image
Walz’s connections to China raise questions about possible CCP influence in his decision-making as governor.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is launching an investigation into Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz

Reporting indicates Governor Walz has concerning ties to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In 1993, according to the Star-Herald, as a teacher, Mr. Walz organized a trip to the PRC with Alliance High School students, where costs were paid by the Chinese government. In 1994, Mr. Walz set up a private company named “Educational Travel Adventures, Inc.,” which coordinated annual student trips to the PRC until 2003 and was led by Mr. Walz himself.

“Governor Walz spoke alongside the President of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, which, a year later, the Department of State exposed as “a Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments,”

1/ Dear President Biden, @TheJusticeDept @POTUS VP Harris @VP

Please immediately condemn the hate crimes and harassment tomorrow with a publicly televised press conference and specifically outline the federal prosecutorial codes and hold the perpetrators accountable.

The country has visibly viewed countless videos over the past weeks of these offensives on the Jewish community. Your creditably and America’s will be lost if immediate action isn’t taken.

Furthermore, the risk of Jewish life’s and others is abundantly clear.

Please demonstrate with moral and principled clarity in our hour of need. God Bless America.

John Hopkins Scenario: The SPARS Pandemic 2025 -2028

This is a hypothetical scenario designed to illustrate the public health risk communication challenges that could potentially emerge during a naturally occurring infectious disease outbreak requiring development and distribution of novel and/or investigational drugs, vaccines, therapeutics, or other medical countermeasures.

The infectious pathogen, medical countermeasures, characters, news media excerpts, social media posts, and government agency responses described herein are entirely fictional.
2/25 In mid-October 2025, three deaths were reported among members of the First Baptist Church of St. Paul, Minnesota. Two of the church members had recently returned from a missionary trip to the Philippines, where they provided relief to victims of regional floods. The third was the mother of a church member who had also traveled to the Philippines with the church group but who had been only mildly sick himself. Based on the patients’ reported symptoms, healthcare providers initially guessed that they had died from seasonal influenza, which health officials predicted would be particularly virulent and widespread that fall. However, laboratory tests were negative for influenza.
3/25 A week later, the CDC team confirmed that the three patients were, in fact, infected with a novel coronavirus, which was dubbed the St. Paul Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SPARS-CoV, or SPARS), after the city where the first cluster of cases had been identified.

This is a small tidbit of information from federal tax forms and it ballooned from there into a spiderweb explaining recent elections and who funded them across state lines and their actors.
2/10 The search started with Tammy Patrick Senior Adviser for the Democracy Fund and I hit pay dirt. Just getting started. In 2013, Tammy Patrick was selected by President Obama to serve as a Commissioner on the Presidential Commission on Election Administration (PCEA) which led to a position at the Bipartisan Policy Center (lol) to further the work of the commission. Prior to that she was the Federal Compliance Officer for Maricopa County Elections Department for eleven years.
