  • "Doctor Verma" can't say whether or not men can get pregnant (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Jan 15, 2026

    This lady is full blown loony bird crazy! She holds the title of "doctor" as an OB-GYN but can't respond to the question, "Can men get pregnant?" Let that sink in for a moment. Dr. Verma was an "expert witness" called by the Democratic Party. Let that sink in for a moment. In a two-minute span, she was asked nine times by U.S. Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri if men can get pregnant. She could not answer the question....

    Randy Olson|Jan 15, 2026

    Tim Walz, AKA, Governor Doofus, is letting Minneapolis fall for the second time in his tenure as CEO of the North Star state. It is truly horrifying to see what Walz has allowed this week. If you're not disgusted by Walz, then you are not paying attention. You are ignoring reality. Governor Walz needs to do the right thing and resign. Tim, it's time to pack it up. He is allowing thugs to have complete control of portions of the city of Minneapolis. Enough! The attached video from the Twitch...

    Randy Olson|Jan 8, 2026

    Good riddance, soon-to-be ex-Governor Tim Walz. The business community is THRILLED to see you ending your bid for a third term. A third term was a terrible idea, and the state will be better off now that your political career will end in January 2027. Oh, by the way, it was not nice knowing you. You have been absolutely disgusting. Your whopper of a lie "We've spent years cracking down on fraudsters" that you gave on December 30 is one that you will never, ever live down. You appear to be a man...

    Randy Olson|Jan 8, 2026

    Tenacious defensive rebounding proved key for the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa girls' basketball game at Royalton on Tuesday, January 6. Facing a physical, fleet-footed Royals team that went 14-0 in the Central Minnesota Conference last season, the Jaguars snared 35 boards on the defensive end to hamper Royalton's 63-points-per-game offense in what was a rowdy, hostile environment. After trailing 32-29 at halftime, the Jaguars played intense, lights-out defense down the stretch in a 58-53 win. "This...

  • A sickness that's pervading U.S. society and the Western world in general (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Jan 8, 2026

    Suicidal empathy is real. Currently, protesters in Portland, Oregon, are on the side of the Tren de Aragua gang as they stand against law enforcement. They are taking proposterous and dangerous positions. Please take a moment and research what suicidal empathy is. It is getting out of hand. From Google AI: suicida empathy is a form of excessive or misapplied compassion that leads to self-destructive outcomes for individuals, communities or entire societies. It is a pattern where the desire to...

  • Peggy Flanagan's campaign acts like clowns to the media

    Randy Olson|Jan 8, 2026

    At 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 10, the Peggy Flanagan campaign emailed the Bonanza Valley Voice a press release about a campaign stop she was making that same morning in Sauk Centre. Only a clown show of a political campaign would give a small town newspaper advance notice on the morning of an event, especially on a weekend. It is insulting that their campaign would think that a small town editor would be checking email just past sunrise on a Saturday morning. For openness to the public and...

  • Somali daycare scandal gets WORSE (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Jan 1, 2026

    And! Just when you didn't think it could get worse. Minnesota day care ("day") programs are licensed to operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. In the case of the Quality Learing Center in Minneapolis, they recently posted hours of operation as being 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. This is a problem. They receive taxpayer funding from state and federal sources while operating outside the legal hours of operation. Red flags, anyone?

  • Checkmate! (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Jan 1, 2026

    From the Sivaady channel on YouTube. This is GOLD! Nick Shirley SINGLE-HANDEDLY embarrassed the media "powerhouse" that is known in America as CNN. He did so with astonishingly success. On CNN, the liberal mouthpiece who goes by the name of Tiffany Cross called Shirley a "random YouTuber." She's offended that Shirley's work breached through the noise and reached tens of millions of American citizens at a time when perhaps a only a half a million people in America watch CNN each day. The bottom l...
