Sen. Cotton: China “Cultivated” Tim Walz
Senator Tom Cotton suggested China “cultivated” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over a period of decades, as part of a broader strategy to gain influence over American politics.
In an interview with Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday, Senator Cotton, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, took Walz to task for his insistence that America and China “don’t need to have an adversarial relationship.”
“Tim Walz has a terrible record on China, just like Kamala Harris does. He’s consistently appeased and conciliated the Chinese Communist Party and has repeatedly said we don’t need to have an adversarial relationship with China, when China is insistant on have an adversarial relationship with the United States, because they want to replace us as the world’s dominant superpower” Cotton said.
“What the Chinese Communist Party did with Tim Walz going back 35 years is a classic example of how they cultivate younger, local state leaders, teachers and others to try to get mouth pieces in American politics and maybe one day hit it big if that person goes on to be say, a congressman or governor, or Vice Presidential nominee.
“This is why he needs to answer questions about his relationship with China, and why Kamala Harris needs to come out and answer questions too about what she would do as president.”
China is insistent on having an adversarial relationship with the United States because they want to replace us the world’s dominant super power.

In contrast to calls from Republicans for Walz to explain the nature and extent of his ties with China and the CCP, the mainstream media has attempted to put a positive spin on Walz’s long relationship with China, which comprises over 30 trips to the country across a period of four decades, including for his honeymoon. Walz and his wife led a number of school trips to China together while they were teachers in Nebraska.
The New York Times led yesterday with “Tim Walz’s long relationship with China defies easy stereotypes,” and Bloomberg said, “Tim Walz knows China. That’s good for the US.”
“That deep history of engagement with China reflects a lesser-known international dimension of the Democratic vice-presidential candidate,” according to the Times.
“If elected vice president, Mr. Walz would bring to the White House unusually extensive personal experience in China—a history that supporters say could be an asset at a time of volatile relations between Washington and Beijing.
“But the campaign has so far made little mention of Mr. Walz’s experience there, even as it has leaned into depictions of the Minnesota governor as an avuncular Midwestern dad, coach and teacher. And it has yet to lay out how Vice President Kamala Harris or Mr. Walz would handle China, which both the Biden and Trump administrations have treated with toughness.”
The Minnesota Governor has spoken before Congress on multiple occasions about the importance of expanding trade with China; although in recent years he has dropped earlier claims that economic growth would make China a more liberal nation.
Walz is also facing calls to explain misrepresentations about his military service, including his rank and record of deployments.
Newly resurfaced video from a hearing in 2008 shows Minnesota Governor Tim Walz implying heavily that he suffered PTSD from deployment to Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Walz was speaking to the family of a Gold Star veteran at the House Veterans Affairs Committee on Veterans and Mental Health when he made remarks that suggested he had personal experience of PTSD after serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2004 with the National Guard.
“I can tell you this, having been one of those that came back. We were in support of OEF [Operation Enduring Freedom]… when we came back, they showed us the horse whisperer and told us to be nice when we went home. And that was the extent of it. That was in 2004.”
Walz has been accused of “stolen valor” for inflating his rank and the importance of his operational deployments. Walz never took part in Operation Enduring Freedom, the name for US operations directly in and above Afghan territory, but was posted to Italy with the National Guard in a support role.
New Documents Show the FBI Implemented Nationwide Social Media Monitoring Ahead of the 2022 Midterms
America First Legal (AFL) has disclosed documents obtained through a lawsuit against the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ), accusing them of concealing federal records that detail government-sponsored censorship by the Biden-Harris administration before the 2022 midterm elections.
The documents revealed that the FBI’s National Election Command Post (NECP) had compiled lists of social media accounts posting what they considered “misinformation,” extending from New York to San Francisco. This included the Right Side Broadcasting Network, cited by Matt Taibbi as targeted for “additional action” by the FBI.
These lists were so extensive that they were compiled into Word documents “due to the volume of posts.” NECP, operating from the FBI Headquarters and aided by DOJ attorneys and liaisons from five non-DOJ agencies, was responsible for vetting the information and directing actions across various field offices. They focused not only on foreign threats but also on cyber intrusions and potential criminal violations linked to election law.
Domestically, accounts like “@RSBNetwork” were flagged for issues related to election law violations, seemingly unconnected to foreign influence or cyber threats. NECP specifically instructed the San Francisco field office to send “preservation letters” to maintain relevant user information until legal actions could be formally initiated.
The Inspector General’s report outlines the legal procedures the FBI might use to compel evidence production from third parties. These range from grand jury subpoenas for current subscriber information, including personal details and payment methods, to district court orders for historical data under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. In more severe cases, the FBI might request a search warrant for detailed content or ongoing investigation data.
This pattern of surveillance and legal pressure reflects a broader governmental approach that views alleged “misinformation” as a law enforcement issue. This stance has led to significant concerns about free speech, especially given recent cases where individuals faced prosecution for online activities deemed misleading by authorities.
Tim Walz Left Eight Babies who Survived Botched Abortions to Die, Government Data Shows
The horrific pro-death policies of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the official running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris, resulted in at least eight babies who survived the abortion process being left to die on the operating table, data from the Minnesota Government of Health shows.
Before Walz was installed as Minnesota’s governor, there was a law on the books that required abortion clinics to report all instances of failed abortions that resulted in the live birth of a baby. Such reporting required abortion “doctors” to reveal what actions were taken to preserve the life of the baby after birth, as well as whether or not the baby survived.
Walz has since abolished that reporting requirement. Under his leadership, abortion clinics in Minnesota no longer even have to keep track of born-alive babies who survive abortions. This means that countless babies will now be slaughtered after birth because the abortion procedure failed to murder them while they were still in the womb.

The political party of death
We know from the data that is still being reported under the reporting law that at least eight babies who survived the abortion process were left to die without any care. Five such babies were reported this way between Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021.
“No measures were taken to help the first baby, who reportedly had ‘fetal anomalies’ that resulted ‘in death shortly after delivery,’” writes Mary Margaret Olohan for LifeNews.com. “Two of the babies were given ‘comfort care measures’ as they died. No measures were taken to ‘preserve life’ of the last two babies, who were previable.”
While there were no reported cases of live-birth babies being left to die in 2020, another three such cases were reported between Jan. 1, 2019, and Dec. 31, 2019.
“The first baby reportedly had ‘fetal anomalies’ but also had ‘residual cardiac activity’ for two minutes, yet no efforts were taken to preserve that baby’s life, and ‘the infant did not survive,’” Olohan explains. “The second baby died while ‘comfort care measures’ were provided. The third baby was previable and did not receive any attempts to preserve his or her life.
In May 2023, Walz repealed the bipartisan reporting requirement for survived abortions, stripping Minnesota of having to care for and preserve the “life and health” of babies who are born following a failed abortion.
This is a good fit for Kamala whose position on abortion, also known as baby murder, is that it should be allowed to happen at any time, even after a baby is born – this is known as infanticide.
Former President Donald Trump warned about this when he stated publicly that some states have legislation on the books “where you can execute the baby after birth.” A CNN “fact check” claims that Trump’s claim is false, but the proof is clear as day for anyone willing to see it.
“Post-birth abortion is real and Harris-Walz support it,” tweeted The Heritage Foundation’s Roger Severino. “At least 5 babies were born alive after botched abortions and left to die under Walz’s watch. Two of these struggling babies were given ‘comfort care’ instead of medical care allegedly in violation of state law.”
“How did Walz respond? By repealing the very law exposing and outlawing this horror and replacing it with abortion on-demand on the front end, and infanticide on the back end.”

Young Father Wins Custody of Son after Gender-Confused Mother Raised Him ‘Nonbinary’
(LifeSiteNews) — A dad who recently won full custody of his son after a legal battle with his ex-wife, who wanted to raise their boy as “nonbinary,” said a “deep feeling” in his “soul” kept him going.
Harrison Tinsley now has full custody of his son Sawyer after a “4 1/2-year” battle that has been going on since the boy was born.
Tinsley, who did not even get to meet Sawyer until he was 15 months old, recently spoke to LifeSiteNews about what helped him in his fight.
“Sawyer says his mother tells him he is both a boy and a girl, but Sawyer is fully aware he is a boy,” Tinsley said in 2023, as previously reported by LifeSiteNews. “I am certain this is confusing him and emotionally traumatizing. He is not old enough to even be thinking about this ideology, but his mother is coercing him into it.”
The boy’s mom was reportedly using “they/them” pronouns for Sawyer as well.
“Definitely my faith, Christianity,” but also “family, friends” and a “deep feeling in my soul that I have to do this no matter what pain I go through,” Tinsley said during a phone interview on Wednesday. “This is the right thing to do.”
That pain included court battles, a visit from Child Protective Services, raising money for legal fees, and dealing with an ex with mental health problems and substance abuse issues. The boy’s mother also would dress him like a girl, as previously reported by The Daily Signal.
Looking to the future helped Tinsley keep going.
“If I want to be a person that can look back at my life and say, ‘I do what’s right,’ that I have to do this, I have to do this to get my son, more than anything, just burned inside me no matter how anxious, and pain, how much suffering I was experiencing,” Tinsley told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday. “I just had to suck it up and just keep going, for him, I have to have responsibility (and) that duty.”
He said the “momentum” appears to be swinging in favor of biological reality and the truth.
“We have the momentum on our side, the vast majority of Americans don’t want any of this weird gender stuff being pushed on kids,” Tinsley said. Most Americans also oppose “guys in girls’ sports” and don’t want “secrets kept from parents.”
Some states, like California where Tinsley lives, require teachers and staff to hide a child’s alleged proclivities to identify as the opposite sex or as homosexual from parents. Even conservative states like Indiana have come under scrutiny for taking gender-confused kids from their parents.
“We just need to all find it within ourselves now to … speak the truth and we can actually stop this stuff, we can actually make a difference. The time is right now, we have the momentum, we have the high ground,” Tinsley said.
People just need to have the “courage” to “speak up.”
Parents who face similar custody battles should “make a decision in their heart they are going to do everything they can, give every bit of themselves, sacrifice whatever it takes, to protect their kid, no matter what.”
“No matter what money they spend, no matter what lies are told about them, no matter what, they just have to make that decision in their heart, and they have to fight as hard as they can and never give up,” he said. “It’s always darkest just before the dawn.”
It is part of the “duty” of a parent to “fight for” their kids.
Parents who at least try will find “purpose” in their life,” Tinsley told LifeSiteNews. “Now is the time where you fight for your kid, do the right thing, no matter what.”
In addition to winning the custody battle, Tinsley’s life has also improved in that he is now married, meeting his wife at a Turning Point USA conference.
He met his wife while at the conference getting interviewed about his story last year.
“It’s a good example of God putting good things in your life when you start doing things that matter,” he said.

Fire Breaks out at Nuclear Plant After Ukrainian Attack – Governor (Video)
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has caught fire after being shelled by Ukrainian forces, the governor of Russia’s Zaporozhye Region, Evgeny Balitsky, announced on Sunday. The fire is under control, the official added.
The fire broke out following a Ukrainian attack on the nearby city of Energodar on Sunday and affected the plant’s cooling systems, Balitsky said in a statement. The plant’s six reactors were placed in a state of “cold shutdown” as a precaution, the governor continued, adding that there is “no threat of a steam explosion or other consequences.”
“Emergency workers are working at the scene of the fire, and the sources of ignition have begun being eliminated,”Balitsky said.
According to the governor, radiation levels around the plant are normal and “there is no threat” to people nearby.
The Zaporozhye NPP was seized by Russian forces in 2022, four days into Moscow’s military operation. Six months later, the region of Zaporozhye voted to join the Russian Federation in a referendum. Throughout the first year of the conflict, Russian forces foiled repeated Ukrainian attempts to attack the facility – which sits on the Dnieper River – with landing craft and drones.
Kamikaze drones were used in Sunday’s attack, the facility’s communications director, Evgeniya Yashina, said in a statement. According to Yashina, the attack marked the first time that Ukrainian forces were able to seriously damage the plant’s infrastructure.
Responding to the incident, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to perform “at least some imitation of work” and ensure the plant’s security. Zakharova also condemned the shelling of the plant as a “terrorist” act.

“The terrorists in Kiev, under the leadership of the collective West, destroyed their country, ruined the people of Ukraine, undermined global energy and food security, and now they have begun the nuclear terror of the continent,”she declared.
The IAEA maintains an observer mission at the ZNPP and has condemned the repeated strikes against the plant. However, the UN agency refuses to attribute blame for these attacks, claiming that it does not have “indisputable evidence” of Kiev’s culpability. In a presentation to the UN General Assembly last month, Russia’s deputy representative to the organization, Dmitry Polyansky, displayed wreckage of a Ukrainian drone that hit the facility, accusing Kiev of posing “the only real threat to nuclear facilities in Ukraine today.”
