Gov. Tim Walz, D., has consistently ignored signs of the massive, alleged fraud putting Minnesota in the national spotlight. From daycares to nonprofits, immigrant communities in Minnesota have faced multiple accusations of fraud in recent weeks, where they allegedly used state policies to take what some estimate to be about $9 billion in taxpayer dollars. While Walz and his office have touted his work to address these scandals, state lawmakers argue that he has had years to do so and deliberately ignored whistleblowers. Robbins, the chair of Minnesota’s Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, was one of many lawmakers who called on Walz to resign amid his latest run for reelection. She spoke about this during her Monday appearance on "The Will Cain Show." Fox News guest host Lawrence Jones noted to the lawmaker, "It’s one thing to call on him to resign. He’s clearly not going to do that. But if he doesn’t, shouldn’t you guys just impeach him just based on not just the fraud and corruption here, but going after those whistleblowers who sounded the alarm?" "Absolutely. I called for the governor to resign several weeks ago. I just think his dereliction of duty is unconscionable," Robbins, who is running for governor, said. "These whistle-blowers have been sounding the alarm for years," she continued. "We’ve had hearing for almost a year now holding his agencies accountable. He’s not fired anyone. He’s not taken steps to stop the fraud on the front end, and he continues to make excuses. So I would absolutely want him to resign as I said weeks ago, or I know others are looking at articles of impeachment. But he is responsible. He’s turned a blind eye for seven years, and we need to clean house in the executive branch." foxnews.com

So the Democrat Governor ignored the issue for years and it takes an Independent You-tuber to finally bring some real attention to the fraud and failures of the Walz administration.

Benchmark Japan bond yields extend steepest annual surge since 1994 The July meeting looks ?like the most likely opportunity for the next rate hike, but the timing ?could be altered if the yen continues to weaken against the dollar, according to Mizuho Securities senior market economist Yusuke Matsuo. "Currency defence could ?become a de facto priority," Matsuo said in a note. "This could lead to consideration of ?accelerating the aforementioned pace of rate hikes, warranting vigilance."
