Tim Walz's Latest Act of "Compassion" Extends to Convicted Child Predator Facing Deportation

If there were an Olympic event for putting criminals ahead of law-abiding citizens, Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz would already be standing atop the podium collecting another gold medal waving at people who exist only in his mind.

The governor who never seems to meet a progressive cause he doesn't adore has now found yet another opportunity to demonstrate that, in modern left-wing politics, the criminal justice system is less about protecting victims and more about endlessly rehabilitating offenders, no matter how monstrous their crimes.

Walz is facing intense criticism after Minnesota's Board of Pardons approved clemency for Tou Lue Vang, a Laotian national piece of human garbage who was convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the pardon may now interfere with federal efforts to deport him from the United States.

Good going, Tampon Timmy.

The Board of Pardons consists of comrades Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson. The board signed off on the pardon after receiving a recommendation from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission.

According to Fox News, the commission recommended the pardon by a narrow 4-2 vote, with three members absent, before forwarding it for final approval. In an astonishing letter to Vang, Clemency Review Commission Executive Director Carli Stark celebrated the decision by writing, "Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction."

One has to wonder whether anyone on the commission bothered to spare a thought for the little girl whose childhood was shattered.

Court records cited by DHS paint a horrifying picture. Prosecutors said Vang repeatedly sexually assaulted the 10-year-old victim between 2002 and 2004. On one occasion, he allegedly offered the child $10 to keep quiet.

His excuses proved no less revolting than his crimes.

According to court filings, Vang told investigators "it is a cultural thing...to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." He also claimed the child was "just as guilty" and should be arrested alongside him.

Despite being convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, Vang avoided prison through a plea agreement.

An immigration judge later ordered his removal from the United States on October 31, 2006. DHS says he was expected to be deported before Walz and his fellow board members stepped in with their act of mercy, potentially removing the very conviction that made him eligible for deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security did not mince words.

"Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting," Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.

"These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist's qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States."

Federal officials say Vang entered the United States through California in 1994 and received legal status during the Clinton administration. That status was revoked after his conviction and removal order.

Ironically, Vang had recently been taken into custody during the Trump administration's Operation Metro Surge before the pardon arrived like an unexpected rescue mission from Minnesota's progressive establishment. In his clemency application, Vang argued that he had accepted responsibility for his crimes and had rehabilitated himself.

Whether the victim shares that glowing assessment is another question entirely.

Disturbingly, DHS says this is not an isolated incident.

In May, Minnesota also granted a pardon to Jai Vang, another Laotian national identified by DHS as an illegal immigrant. According to the department, his criminal record included robbery, armed robbery of a business, and driving under the influence.

For Walz and Minnesota's progressive leadership, the pattern is becoming difficult to ignore. While ordinary citizens expect government to protect victims, enforce immigration law, and remove dangerous criminals from the country, this administration seems increasingly determined to extend grace to the very people who forfeited it through their own actions.

For politicians who endlessly lecture Americans about "accountability," accountability appears to end precisely where progressive ideology begins.

Cuban Operative From Hasan Piker And Code Pink's Luxury Communist Vacation Planning Committee Arrested After Rubio Ruins The Fun

In a shocking development that has leftist activists clutching their Che Guevara T-shirts, the Department of State announced on Wednesday that three Cuban nationals were taken into federal custody after Secretary Marco Rubio had the audacity to terminate their legal status in the US. One of those arrested was a man the department said has "spent more than a decade working as a foreign subversive for the Communist Cuban regime’s premier influence and intelligence front group in the United States."

Carlos Antonio Lloga Dominguez, along with his wife and son, was taken into custody by federal agents. Lloga Dominguez was employed by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the People (ICAP) for over a decade, the department said, and has continued to maintain ties to the network during his time in the US.

Rubio designated ICAP for sanctions in early June. The group "is the central node in a sprawling Cuban intelligence and influence operation, claiming to span more than 2,000 organizations across more than 150 countries," the department said. The current head of ICAP, Fernando González Llort, previously served 15 years in US prison for his role in the Wasp Network, a Cuban spy ring discovered in Florida in the late 90s.

The department said, "Working in close coordination with the Cuban communist regime, ICAP maintains an outsized footprint across the United States, trafficking in vile anti-American propaganda, cultivating pro-Havana regime activists and politicians, and lobbying federal, state and local politicians on behalf of the Cuban dictatorship. The organization facilitates close working relationships between Havana and radical U.S. groups, using America’s far left milieu as a vehicle to export Cuba’s Communist revolution to the United States."

Che got woke

How dare they. Everyone knows the real threat to democracy is mean tweets and insufficient pronoun usage, not actual foreign agents embedded in America's compassion industrial complex.

An investigation by Fox News Digital found that ICAP officials have been closely coordinating with American nonprofits over the last decade to support Cuba’s Communist Party. The nonprofits include People’s Forum, Breakthrough News, Tricontinental, CodePink, the ANSWER Coalition, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, many of which are funded by far-left businessman Neville Roy Singham. Because nothing says "organic grassroots movement" like a trust fund socialist wiring cash from overseas.

In May, the Trump administration's Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control subpoenaed socialist political YouTuber Hasan Piker, as well as CodePink’s Susan Medea Benjamin, over a trip taken to Cuba. One such trip took place in March, with activists being seen partying while much of the island faced a blackout. ICAP worked with US nonprofits to organize this trip. Nothing builds solidarity with the starving proletariat quite like doing the Macarena while grandma sits in the dark.

The March trip was under the banner of the "Nuestra America Convoy," with organizers claiming the trip aimed to deliver humanitarian aid and protest US sanctions. They also painted murals. Of course they did. Revolutionary change begins with tasteful public art.

The federal inquiry is over whether activists who went on the March trip violated US sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.

Amid news of the subpoena, it was revealed that Piker had admitted in 2025 that the Cuban government had reached out to a contact of his in an attempt to get him to come to the country. "The Cuban government actually hit my contact from the embassy and told them that if the only thing stopping Hasan from coming to Cuba was the consistent internet access, we can make it happen," he said.

Truly, the Cuban regime's willingness to provide reliable Wi-Fi for content creators is the kind of humanitarian outreach that makes America look bad. Thank goodness patriotic federal agents are finally treating these brave truth-tellers like the foreign influence agents they keep proving themselves to be. The revolution will not be subsidized.

Devastating: Israel Neutralizes Local Hamas HR Director and Supply Chain Enthusiast

GAZA — In another heartbreaking blow to the local organic pharmaceutical and import-export sector, Israeli forces and the Shin Bet reportedly neutralized [aka goaterized] Mohammed Fathi Abdelhai Abu Fakher Yadda Yadda Yadda on Monday. Abu Fakher was widely known within his community as a passionate regional director for the "Yabna" youth outreach program, a subsidiary of the Rafah Brigade.

According to sources close to the community, Abu Fakher was a tireless advocate for workforce development. He had recently dedicated his days to an aggressive talent acquisition campaign, onboarding energetic new operatives and spearheading an ambitious corporate restructuring plan to rebuild the battalion's operational capabilities in order to destroy Israel and all the Jews in the world to make room for a global caliphate.

In addition to his human resources work, colleagues noted he was a logistics wizard who specialized in creative, unconventional supply chain management and international procurement, ensuring that specialized hardware such as rockets, drones, rifles and ammunition, was successfully acquired and distributed throughout Gaza for many years.

At press time, mainstream media outlets were already drafting headlines mourning the loss of yet another "passionate logistics manager and youth mentor."

May the goats stand ready to satisfy his proclivities.

Deranged New York Woman Who Wished 'Every Day Were Oct. 7' Arrested For Funding Palestinian Terror Group

Catherine Beth Washburn, 2 grenades, and Hamasshole flag

NEW YORK — A proudly anti-Semitic New Yorker who dreamed of turning every calendar page into another glorious Oct. 7 has finally been hauled off in cuffs for allegedly sending piles of cash to actual terrorists, proving the theory of FAFO.

Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, of Irondequoit, a peaceful Rochester suburb, stands accused of leading a radical outfit and posing for photos with hand grenades in front of a Hamas flag.
Federal authorities say she funneled tens of thousands of dollars to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization whose idea of diplomacy involves rockets and suicide vests.

If convicted, Washburn faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, which is probably less than she spent on crypto transfers and keffiyehs.

Blaming the victim for Hamas' terrorism

According to the Justice Department, Washburn headed the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation (DAMPL), a group that sprang up right after Hamas's heroic slaughter of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023. Unlike those boring moderates who prefer signs and chants, DAMPL favors "direct action" — things like smashing windows and sabotaging anything remotely connected to the Jewish state.

Communications recovered by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force show Washburn chatting with someone claiming to be an active PIJ fighter in Gaza. In those chats she reportedly confessed that she hated Jewish people "very much" and wished Israel "would disappear."

"I wish every day were October 7th," Washburn is accused of writing. "If I lived in Gaza, I would fight alongside the resistance."

She later added that she felt "excited every time I see news of the killing of an occupation soldier."

U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo noted that Washburn went to "great lengths" to finance violence, driven by "her self-described hate of Israel and Jewish people."

Financial records reveal roughly 80 cryptocurrency transfers totaling more than $30,000 sent to the PIJ fighter's account. In November 2025 she allegedly joked about her future prison wardrobe, writing, "Based on my passed [sic] fundraising and posting Im [sic] gonna get put away for a few life times," followed by a laughing emoji.

FBI Counterterrorism Division Acting Assistant Director Coult Markovsky made it clear that bankrolling murder carries consequences.

"This individual, as alleged in the criminal complaint, provided money to a foreign terrorist organization engaged in acts of violence," Markovsky said. "The FBI is committed to cutting off funding to terrorist groups and will continue to work side-by-side with our Justice Department partners to make sure anyone who engages in terrorism or provides assistance to such organizations is held fully accountable in our justice system."

In other news, progressive activists are already calling Washburn a "political prisoner" and planning a "Free Cathy" rally, because nothing says "social justice" like wiring Bitcoin to people who celebrate baby-killing.

House Passes Bipartisan Resolution To Throw Rashida Tlaib's Latest Anti-Israel Tantrum In The Congressional Trash

WASHINGTON—In a development so shocking it briefly caused Capitol Hill to malfunction like a government website on tax day, the House of Representatives actually accomplished something useful Tuesday. Democrats and Republicans united in rare harmony to take the anti-Semitic Rep. Rashida Tlaib's latest anti-Israel performance art piece, escort it gently but firmly to the nearest legislative Port-o-Potty, and set it on fire.

Tlaib's war powers resolution, aimed at handcuffing U.S. military involvement in Lebanon, went down in a solid bipartisan 235-189 vote. Twenty-two Democrats bravely jumped ship from the Michigan congresswoman, joining nearly every Republican in opposition. 

In Washington terms, that's the equivalent of the entire room agreeing the fire alarm isn't just another progressive policy proposal.

The measure would have banned U.S. forces from any "hostilities" in Lebanon, a pressing issue if America were, you know, actually fighting there. But facts remain stubbornly uncooperative with Tlaib's worldview, i.e., that the Jewish state needs to be eliminated.

One lonely Republican dissenter was the execrable Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, whose foreign policy instincts continue to spin wildly like a compass next to an industrial magnet. Time to vote him out.

Michigan's premier anti-Israel activist cosplaying as a member of Congress tried to limit military authority in a nation where America isn't conducting combat operations. It's roughly as urgent as demanding emergency legislation to stop astronauts from invading Saskatchewan.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and most Democrats voted to tie President Donald Trump's hands on using force in Lebanon without congressional permission. Of course, Jeffries had opposed an earlier version of Tlaib's scheme, proving once again that consistency in the Democratic Party is treated like an optional accessory, right next to "supporting the troops."

The whole thing was a concurrent resolution, carrying all the legal weight of a strongly worded Facebook post. Even if it passed, it would never have reached President Trump's desk for a signature, veto, or well-deserved eye-roll.

Tlaib, Congress's only Palestinian American member and Israel's most dedicated congressional tormentor, has spent years accusing the Jewish state of "ethnic cleansing" in Gaza and Lebanon. Republicans correctly note that her laser focus on condemning Israel while giving Hezbollah a rhetorical free pass amounts to providing comfort to an Iranian-backed terrorist outfit.

Strangely missing from Tlaib's resolution was any condemnation of Hezbollah, the terror group that has spent years rocketing Israeli civilians and turning southern Lebanon into its personal launchpad. Apparently the actual people firing rockets at school buses deserve less congressional attention than the country daring to defend itself.

Earlier this month, Tlaib pushed an even broader version that critics said could have forced U.S. personnel guarding the American Embassy to abandon their posts and crippled aid to the Lebanese Armed Forces fighting actual terrorists. Even by Washington standards, siding against the non-terrorist side is a special kind of genius.

After that flop, she rolled out a revised version with polite exemptions for diplomatic security and training Lebanese troops. Nothing says "principled stand" like frantically editing your legislation after everyone reads the first draft and recoils in horror.

Republicans rightly wondered why Congress was wasting time stopping a war America isn't fighting.

"There are not U.S. combat forces conducting operations or engaged in hostilities in Lebanon," House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, (R-FL), said during debate. "They are training the Lebanese Armed Forces."

"Why are they training?" Mast continued. "Because there's probably at least 40,000, probably more, Hezbollah terrorists spread across the South of Lebanon that are actively engaged in targeting Israel and have been doing so for many years."

Brian Mast

Mast went further, correctly labeling supporters of the resolution as "proxies for Hezbollah," a remark unlikely to earn him a Christmas card from the Squad.

Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (D-NY), defended the pointless exercise by claiming it would prevent America from entering "another forever war that is not in our national interest."

A noble thought, if only the United States were actually in a war in Lebanon. Instead, Congress spent the afternoon solemnly debating how to stop a ghost from invading a house it never entered, while Hezbollah kept doing what it does best: trying to annihilate Israel and counting on enough useful idiots in Washington to stay distracted by imaginary American aggression. 

At least this time, sanity prevailed. Barely.

Israeli Ambassador Drops Mic With "Journalist Or Terrorist?" Quiz, Catches UN Red-Handed Platforming Hamas Lies

In a move that had the usual suspects squirming in their seats, Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon turned a Security Council session into a much-needed reality check Tuesday, unveiling what he called a "Journalist or Terrorist?" quiz to expose how the United Nations and international media eagerly swallow Hamas propaganda before the facts can even catch up.

"Israel is condemned again and again and again," Danon said during the meeting while holding up photos.

"A claim is made against Israel. The U.N. repeats it, and then the world condemns it. Then, when the truth comes out, it takes time, sometimes weeks, months, years, there is no apology, no correction and no retraction. They move on. We will not move on," he added.

As Danon flipped the photos over, they revealed clear evidence of the deceased's membership in Hamas or other terror groups, proving once again that the Jewish state is fighting actual terrorists while the world clutches its pearls over "journalists."

Danon also took aim at New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani for rushing to condemn Israel over the killing of Al Jazeera contributor Ahmed Wishah, whom Danon rightly described as "a Hamas terrorist."

"This is the machine," Danon said. "Hamas makes a claim. The NGO ecosystem, rapporteurs and briefers all repeat the lies."

"Then a U.N. report rubber-stamps it, the world's media broadcasts it, and Israel is condemned before the facts are even checked," he added.

In other words, the UN's favorite hobby: rushing to bash the only democracy in the Middle East while giving a global megaphone to a pack of bloodthirsty jihadists. Danon isn't letting them get away with it. Israel stands firm, and the truth keeps winning, no matter how slowly the rest of the world catches up.

BREAKING: More IRGC leaders assassinated in Iran: can you spell 'chaos'?

The "FAFO Wall"

More Iranian regime honchos have been 'eliminated' via assassination today. This is what happens when you provide arms to the citizens. Can someone please tell President Trump?

There was also a 'security incident' in the border county of Paveh in Kermanshah province. Initial reports depict clashes and shootings in the area but the details are still murky and official authorities have yet to release more information.

Some of the families of IRGC members have also been killed and now the regime is feeling the heat from what they've perpetrated.

Another Mohammed, Zadeh, I believe it's spelled, a deputy of political affairs of the IRGC navy has also been eliminated via death a few hours ago due to a "car accident". In Iran, driving cars is somehow very dangerous. And if you believe that, you might be interested in a bridge I'm selling.

A broadcaster of Iranian regime TV has also been eliminated, due to a "heart attack." The so called hospital where he was supposed to have been taken to had 'no comment.'

More information will follow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Supreme Court Just Ruled on Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against President Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship for immigrant children, proving once again that nine black robes in Washington know better than the American people what the Constitution actually means.

The Court held that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, which means they are considered citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch dissented. The ruling means that Trump's executive order is rendered invalid and cannot be enforced, handing another glorious victory to the open-borders crowd and their judicial enablers, and Chuck 'Nostrils' Schumer may be coming for Gorsuch.

Trump issued the executive order on his first day back in office last year, seeking to limit birthright citizenship for certain children born in the United States. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a challenge to that order on April Fools Day, and was expected to issue a ruling before the end of its current term.

The order directed federal agencies not to recognize U.S. citizenship for children born in the country after late February 2025 if the mother was in the country illegally and the father is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

Supporters defended the order, arguing that it is a necessary correction in a longstanding misreading of the 14th Amendment. They contend that the provision was not intended to grant automatic citizenship to the children of parents who lack full allegiance to the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump argued that the country “cannot live with the shackles of Birthright Citizenship. It is not economically, or otherwise, sustainable, and no other Country in the World, of consequence, does it!”

This decision is peak judicial activism dressed up as originalism. The Fourteenth Amendment was never meant to turn America into a global maternity ward for illegal aliens and temporary visitors. While the Supreme Court once again chooses international norms over common sense, everyday Americans are left footing the bill for endless chain migration, strained welfare systems, and eroded national sovereignty.
Trump was right: birthright citizenship as currently practiced is a magnet for abuse that no serious country tolerates. Time for Congress to fix what the courts refuse to or for us voters to fix Congress.
