This is not Freedom
Lexie Lawler was a labor and delivery nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Florida. She posted a video of herself on TikTok spewing a hate-filled message to President Trump’s Press Secretary, who is pregnant with her 2nd child.
"As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth-degree tear." "I hope you f***ing rip from bow to stern and never s*** normally again, you c***.”
For those who do not have a medical background, an explanation will help you appreciate the viciousness of the sentiment expressed by this nurse. A fourth-degree tear is a severe injury that can occur during childbirth. It is rare, but serious, and requires immediate surgical repair. The tear goes through the vaginal tissue, perineal muscles (on the floor of the pelvis), the anal sphincter and into the rectum. It can result in difficulty controlling one’s bowels, which gave rise to the hope Leavitt would never “s*** normally again”.
Lawler’s employer fired her immediately. She doubled down and showed no remorse with another foul-mouthed rant, “They murdered a man in Minnesota, and you motherf*****s are coming after me 'cause I used bad language? F*** you. I’m on the right side of this. F*** you".
Her license was promptly suspended by the state’s Surgeon General and should be permanently revoked. This unstable woman must never again be given access to vulnerable patients who have a right to expect competence and compassion from their health care providers.
An unstable nurse anesthetist, Malinda Cook, was fired from Virginia Commonwealth University Health after posting videos of herself on TikTok urging health care providers to lure immigration law enforcement agents into dating apps and inject them with paralyzing agents, spray them with poison ivy, or lace their drinks with ex-lax. She described these “sabotage” tactics as “easily deniable”. Cook is a disgrace to the profession, a danger to society, and must have her license revoked.
This is not freedom. This is sickness and evil.
Kyle Wagner, a self-described “antifa agitator” from Minneapolis, is doing all he can to incite armed protestors to take to the streets to “do what needs to be done”. In Instagram posts on an account that has now been deleted, he calls federal agents “mass murderers”, “fascist occupiers” and “nazi gunmen”. Wagner refers to himself as a “master-hate-baiter” as he distributes gas masks to protestors and urges them to “Get your f****** guns and stop these f****** people”.
This is not freedom. This is insurrection.
Independent journalist Cam Higby and others are reporting that “encrypted Signal Chats”, a type of messaging used to keep communications private, are being used nationwide to mobilize rioters to Minneapolis and to track federal agents’ locations. Vice President J.D. Vance described what is happening as “a level of engineered chaos”, as organizers are attempting to coordinate watching and confronting federal agents who are in Minneapolis on a mission to remove those who are in the country illegally. Those involved in the Signal Chats are describing themselves as “rapid responders”. They are “doxing” federal agents (exposing their identity) making them vulnerable to assault or worse, and interfering with their targeted operations.
This is not freedom. This is felony crime.
Last Thursday in a press conference in Minneapolis, Border Czar Tom Homan moved swiftly to promise that justice is coming for these Signal Chat criminals.
Something Far Greater than Turmoil in Minneapolis
There is something far greater going on than turmoil in Minneapolis. Donald Trump is a serious threat to all those who have been defrauding the American people under the pretense of working for us. He is pulling back the curtain for all to see and the disruption in Minnesota is just a prelude of what is yet to come in the ferocious battle to take our country back. The fight in Minneapolis is intended to distract from massive welfare fraud that has taken place on the watch of Minnesota’s elected officials. It is sad that so many residents have been duped by professional agitators into thinking they are fighting the good fight; allowing themselves to be led into harm’s way and making foolish decisions that place their lives at risk. The shooting death of Alex Pretti, who entered the fray with federal agents, armed with a gun, was the kind of tragedy that is completely avoidable, yet inevitable, in an environment where assaults on federal agents have become commonplace and they work amid chants to “kill the nazis”.
Local law enforcement is being barred by local elected officials with a political agenda from doing their job. They are responsible for ensuring protests are lawful and preventing protestors from interfering with the lawful operations of the federal officers. Last Sunday, Minnesota’s largest union representing law enforcement officers clearly indicated they want to be permitted to do their jobs in a call for a summit:
“The lack of clarity, cooperation, communication and coordination between federal, state and local government is unsustainable,” the union’s executive director, Jim Mortenson, said in a statement. “Conflicting directives are creating confusion for local law enforcement officers, eroding public trust, and straining public safety. While immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, its impact is felt daily by state and local agencies and the citizens of Minnesota.”
The union said local and state law enforcement agencies previously had a professional working relationship with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Border Patrol. The union said it’s important to “restore a functional relationship.”
​
At the same time the immigration enforcement is underway in Minneapolis, the federal government is investigating what is thought to be at least $9 billion in welfare fraud in the same city. Minneapolis is the tip of the iceberg. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates that the cost of fraud to federal programs approaches $500 billion a year.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), visited an address given for 400 businesses billing nearly $4 million to Medicaid in Minneapolis and found it to be an old linen factory. He described the fraud as so obvious, officials had to be willfully ignorant to miss it. Most of the nearly 100 indicted and convicted criminals in the case so far have been from Somalia, and millions of dollars in stolen money have been sent to overseas accounts. Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, has promised to trace every dollar that has been diverted overseas. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Congresswoman and member of the Somali community, has reported through her financial disclosures that her wealth has soared from next to nothing to more than $30 million since she was elected to Congress in 2019. It will be no surprise if the investigation of the Minnesota fraud exposes that Ilhan Omar, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Governor Tim Walz and other Minnesota officials are up to their eyeballs in corruption. No one is this incompetent.
Separate but Related
In a separate but related development, a federal judge just ruled against the Trump administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) in its lawsuit to obtain Oregon’s unredacted Registered Voter List. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has sued 23 states, including Wisconsin, for refusing to share their unredacted Registered Voter Lists. The DOJ’s interest is to confirm that proper maintenance procedures are in place in compliance with federal law.
​
This is extremely important as we have already seen enough during the first year of Trump’s second term to know that we will want to exert our collective will to make significant changes at the ballot box in upcoming elections. As Trump continues to expose what has been going on in our government, our disgust and appetite for change will continue to grow. The ability to verify that every vote cast can be tied to a currently eligible voter is our only defense against corrupt actors who will cheat if they can. We know Wisconsin’s elections are not verifiable, with more than 4 million names of ineligible voters on our Registered Voter List. The fight for verifiability must be won. Those who like the system just the way it is are pushing back hard against Wisconsin voters and they must be defeated. In an encouraging development, on January 28, President Trump retweeted on Truth Social, “Wisconsin has 7.14 MILLION registered voters…but only about 4 MILLION adults live in the entire state”. Wisconsin voters are being heard. Trump knows what’s going on.

Freedom on the Line
Founding Father and second President of the United States John Adams warned us, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Self-righteous pretenders, masquerading as the instruments of a good and just government for the people, are making a mockery of freedom. Freedom is grounded in truth and personal responsibility. This is not freedom.
