Tim Walz’s connections to the radical Chinese Communist Party continue.
Here I have a recently recovered photo of Commissioner Ida Rukavina’s home.
She is the Walz appointee to the IRRRB, which oversees the largest untapped copper-nickel reserve in the world. 🧵1/
Over 8 Billion tons of copper, nickel, & other precious metals are located in The Duluth Complex of Northern Minnesota.

This first photo is a Mao Zedong propaganda poster. Translated it states:
