Greetings, Dear Reader, Big Timbo is out. There’s only one real way to interpret his sudden withdrawal from the governor’s race. TIM WALZ’S LITTLE SECRET Whatever you’re thinking about the fraud that’s captured America’s attention lately, I can assure you, it’s 100x worse. Tim Walz just essentially resigned the governorship of Minnesota. In a press conference yesterday, he announced that he was opting to end his re-election campaign. Just a year ago, Tim was considered a shoo-in for a third term. He was even the party’s VP nominee. Despite losing, his moves later as governor showed that he still had national…
