BREAKING: Governor Tim Walz announces he is dropping out of the governor’s race, mentions Nick Shirley in his statement.

Read his partial statement here:
"I won’t mince words here. Donald Trump and his allies – in Washington, in St. Paul, and online – want to make our state a colder, meaner place…”
…
"We’ve got Republicans here in the legislature playing hide-and-seek with whistleblowers.”
"We’ve got conspiracy theorist right-wing YouTubers breaking into daycare centers and demanding access to our children.”
"We’ve got the President of the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongly confiscating childcare funding that Minnesotans rely on.”
…
“I cannot abide the actions of the political leadership in Washington – these opportunists who are willing to hurt our people to score a few cheap points. They and their allies have no intention of helping us solve the problem – and every intention of profiting off of it.”
"Which brings me to this: 2026 is an election year. And election years have a way of ramping up the politics at a time when we simply can’t afford more politics.”
“In September, I announced that I would run for a historic third term as Minnesota’s Governor. And I have every confidence that, if I gave it my all, I would succeed in that effort.”
“But as I reflected on this moment with my family and my team over the holidays, I came to the conclusion that I can’t give a political campaign my all.”
“Every minute I spend defending my own political interests would be a minute I can’t spend defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our differences.”
"So I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.”
"I know this news may come as a surprise. But I’m passing on the race with zero sadness and zero regret. After all, I didn’t run for this job so I could have this job. I ran for this job so I could do this job. Minnesota faces an enormous challenge this year. And I refuse to spend even one minute of 2026 doing anything other than rising to meet the moment. Minnesota has to come first – always.”
"That’s what I believe servant leadership demands of me. And as an optimist, I will hold out some hope that my friends on the other side of the aisle will consider what servant leadership demands of them in this moment. We can work together to combat the criminals, rebuild the public’s trust, and make our state stronger. But make no mistake: If Republicans continue down this path of abusing power, smearing entire communities, and running their own fraudulent game at the expense of Minnesotans – we will fight back every step of the way.”
"Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota America’s best place to live and raise kids – from our new paid leave policy to our child tax credit to our free lunch program.”
…
"Most of all, I want Minnesotans to know that I’m on the job, 24/7, focused on making sure we stay America’s best place to live and raise kids. No one will take that away from us. Not the fraudsters. And not the President. Not on my watch.”

I get weird thoughts every now and then. I am thinking something I should not share over the Internet.

You don't think that the NSA bothers listening to 4um, do you?

I don't know, TBH.
With the advent of AI, I wouldn't doubt it, but you'd probably have to go out on a limb pretty far to draw their ire.
I still wonder why Prez "Sniffy" Pedo and his freakshow had me de-banked several years ago. That was a nightmare.
I had to get my legal-beagle involved. It cost several thousand bux, for nothing. My sister up near Chicago got caught in the crossfire.
She had a joint checking account with me so I can easily transfer money to her (and she wanted free checking). They shut her off too without notice.
I used to think that I was a 'nobody' until that happened, but I did fall in with a bad crowd from 1980-1995.

I did not know you were de-banked. You might have wound up on a blanket list of guys they don't like. 

I do know the Feds have a "Continuity of Government" rogue operation with the names of 20 million Americans 
to be detained in concentration camps in case of National Emergency, such as, would be caused by them getting 
too greedy and destroying the dollar when they reset the economy.

I wrote about that program years ago. 

Catherine Austin Fitts said the Elite stole $50 trillion from us. And they used a few trillion of that to run rogue ops.

Yeah, I'm on somebody's 'naughty list' for sure.

I got swatted in the summer of 2013 before the accident, they dispatched 20 or 30 squads and SWAT. They also hit my Mother's villa at the same time, but only with 3 or 4 squads according to her neighbors.
She was just two days out of the hospital after a heart attack. I was at my house taking a nap before going back to check on her.
We were accused of murdering my younger sister. Mom died in 2014, my younger sister in 2018.

Long story.

I was just swatted again before Angie across the street died in June. She asked them what they wanted and called me. My arthritis was acting up so I took some aspirin and was laying down.
This one was done under the guise of a 'wellness check'.
The only one in the neighborhood that gives a rat's ass about me was Chris and Angie and they had keys, Chris still does.

I know who did the one in 2013, I have a 45 minute digital recording of the 911 call.
I have a good idea who did the most recent one.

I have kept a low profile all my life, sort of. I do shoot my yap off about crimes committed by our Banker Occupied Government.

The FED starved at least 3 to 4 million Americans to death in the 1930s. There were only 123 million Americans alive in 1929.

I moved to nowheresville Tn in 2009 to reduce my profile. But even here I have several local people responsible for spying on me. I keep up 
good relations with most of them. Though one married couple left town when they retired. 

I have been waiting for the End of this Age since I was in 4th grade. I do not believe in the Book of Revelation version.

American Indians describe this Age as the 4th world. We will get another world or Age after this one ends and we have reduced 
our population by several billion. I am expecting a Megaquake soon, probably off the coast of Japan. To be followed by
Megaquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis all over the world.

In a few months people will figure out that the End is Nigh. Hint Google this: "1816 year without a summer."

My plan is to move to a farm in east Tennessee to raise food. I have other plans I cannot discuss.
