As the United States begins its main festivities for our nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, Democrats are still exhibiting animosity, bitterness, and resentment over many of the attractions and celebratory efforts coordinated by the Trump administration. Severe levels of unhingedness have been noticeable in recent weeks with liberals, socialists, communists, and others on the contemporary Democratic Left being triggered over such things as cleaning a pool, holding concerts, and organizing a national state fair. The Great American State Fair has been a frequent and favorite target of the Left, with many of their sycophants actively rooting for a poor turnout and for the event to fail.

One person who has a severe case of Great American State Fair derangement syndrome is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. His weird mannerisms and effeminate behavior were on full display during the 2024 presidential campaign. Yet, even after facing significant ridicule for his antics and actions, Walz continued his eye-raising idiosyncrasies after the campaign ended, as he returned to Minnesota to resume his duties as governor. He’s tried to remain relevant by being a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and continued that trend by taking a swipe at the Great American State Fair in a social media post on Monday. 

America’s real state fair starts August 27th. Plan accordingly and thank you for your attention to this matter.

For reasons unknown, Walz bashed the Great American State Fair taking place at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as part of the 250th celebration, to reference his state’s upcoming fair in August. There was no reason to, mind you. It was just done out of sheer envy, jealousy, and, arguably, mental abnormality.

“America’s real state fair starts August 27th,” said Walz on X on Monday. “Plan accordingly and thank you for your attention to this matter.”

It was an odd, yet bold, move by the Minnesota governor, especially given the revelations earlier this year of his state being rife with failure bureaucratic incompetence, and an epicenter of “widespread taxpayer fraud in federally funded social programs.” Given this, and since Walz likes to declare which things are real and which are not, someone should ask him if “Quality Learing Center” will be at the “real state fair” and if not, why not. After all, the “Quality Learing Center” was arguably one of the most important landmarks in Minnesota this year.

But Walz should have other priorities. Instead of making passive-aggressive remarks criticizing a semiquincentennial festivity, he should spend more time worrying about which childcare centers are real in his state and which are defrauding the government for millions of dollars. However, since Walz is a stickler for things being real, “Quality Learing Center” should not only be at the “real state fair” in Minnesota, but also be prominently displayed at the event. This is especially true given its symbolic significance “for one of the most stunning oversight failures” the House Oversight Committee has “ever examined.”

Consider the words of the Committee, which released its findings from the investigation earlier this month. House Committee on Oversight and Government Chairman James Comer (R-KY) didn’t mince words when describing Walz’s systemic gubernatorial failures as the highest elected official in Minnesota. 

“Today’s report is the culmination of months of investigative work and reveals hard evidence showing how the Walz Administration failed to stop widespread fraud, allowing criminals to enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers,” said Comer. “Billions of dollars were stolen because Minnesota state leaders turned a blind eye to rampant fraud and retaliated against state employees who dared to raise concerns. It is now clear the Walz Administration chose to protect the system rather than protect the taxpayer.” 

So if Walz is dedicated to the verisimilitude of things, he should start with himself, his state, and his “Quality Learing Center.” Because maybe if his focus was better, and his intentions to be an effective governor were real, he would have noticed the approximately “$300 million in federal child nutrition funds” lost and “potentially $9 billion in Medicaid-related funds to be lost or placed at serious risk.”
