It’s been a rough couple of days for socialists. First, Venezuela’s narco-terrorist strongman Nicolas Maduro was removed from power. Then Minnesota’s scandal-plagued governor, Tim Walz, announced he’s not seeking reelection. For the left, it’s another reminder that the ground beneath them keeps slipping—and for Democrats, it’s proof they remain firmly planted on the wrong side of nearly every major issue.

Tim Walz and his allies were banking on Americans looking the other way while billions of taxpayer dollars vanished in a sprawling fraud scheme—money siphoned off by people who came to this country not to contribute, but to exploit it. When questions arose, Walz didn’t respond with transparency or reform. He responded with accusations, branding any investigation into the fraud as a tool of “white supremacy.” He seemed to believe voters could be bullied into silence while he promised more of the same policies that made the fraud possible.

That tactic doesn’t work anymore. Americans are done being lectured and labeled. We want accountability. We want justice. And we want it applied equally, regardless of race, ethnicity, or country of origin.

But race and identity politics have always been Walz’s chosen lane. For much of his career, he’s openly banked on the Somali vote, reducing entire communities to political chess pieces. Back in 2022, he said the quiet part out loud, making clear what he believed Minnesota’s future depended on.

In Walz’s vision, unvetted immigration wasn’t a concern—it was a feature. And when that vision resulted in billions stolen from taxpayers, he followed through on his promises anyway. What he didn’t count on was the public finally seeing the damage and refusing to accept it.

Pressure mounted. Scrutiny intensified. And when 23-year-old Nick Shirley began exposing fraudulent daycare centers across Minnesota, the walls started closing in. That appears to have been the tipping point. Now Walz is stepping aside—despite his claims of innocence—because apparently that’s what innocent men do: retreat and disappear.

Let’s be clear. This is not accountability. That still needs to happen. Stepping down doesn’t place Walz above the law. House Oversight Chair James Comer says Walz will appear before the committee next month, and that’s where real answers should begin.

For now, Walz is doing what Democrats so often do when confronted with failure—blaming everyone but himself. Listen to how he responds.

And when pressed about the people actually committing the crimes, Walz pivots yet again, this time focusing his ire on white men.

Predictable—and wrong. Walz knows the facts just as well as anyone else: arrest rates for white men are lower than for other demographics. But facts have never been the point. Narrative is.

It’s becoming increasingly clear why Walz’s own family reportedly voted against him in the presidential election. They saw what the rest of the country now sees: a hypocritical grifter with no real commitment to integrity.

This was the man Democrats wanted as second-in-command of the United States. Imagine the waste, fraud, and abuse we’d already be reporting on if that had happened. Democrats picked the wrong guy—again.

And they’re doing it again on the world stage.

Democrats also picked the wrong side when it comes to Venezuela. They need to stop telling Venezuelans how they should feel about their own country. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening, even in New York City, where leftists have clashed with Venezuelan exiles outside the courthouse where Maduro will finally be tried for his crimes.

The irony is thick. Many of the same activists who attended “No Kings” protests last year are now demanding the release of a man who crowned himself the treasonous king of Venezuela.

One Venezuelan exile put it perfectly in response to Democrats calling for Maduro’s release.

Even the media can’t keep its talking points straight. Margaret Brennan demonstrated just how exhausting it is to reason with Trump critics when she grilled Marco Rubio, questioning why the U.S. military didn’t capture more of Maduro’s inner circle if the operation was really about narco-terrorism.

Rubio deserves credit for even entertaining the question.

So which is it? Does the left want violent criminals held accountable—or not?

Senator Chris Van Hollen has already made his position clear. Last year, he used taxpayer money to fly to El Salvador and break bread with gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now he’s furious that Maduro is being brought to justice.

“Not a win for the American people?” Tell that to the families who lost loved ones here at home because Venezuela exported Tren de Aragua to expand its criminal empire through human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, drug smuggling, and brutal murder.

Ambassador Mike Waltz laid out exactly why removing Maduro is in America’s interest when he addressed the United Nations—with clarity and class.

Maduro didn’t serve the Venezuelan people. He actively conspired against the American people alongside our enemies. His removal is a victory—for justice, for accountability, and for those who suffered under his rule. The Democrats who oppose that have once again exposed themselves as America Last.

When you zoom out, the pattern is impossible to ignore. Democrats are almost never on the right side of an issue.

They were wrong about Tim Walz. Wrong about the fraud. Wrong about the victims who paid the price. And now they’re wrong about Venezuela, wrong about Maduro, and wrong about what justice actually looks like. Every time the choice is accountability or excuses, victims or criminals, truth or ideology, Democrats choose wrong.

They defend the corrupt. They coddle the criminals. They smear the whistleblowers. Then they feign shock when the public revolts. Walz didn’t lose support because of “misinformation” or “racism.” He lost it because people finally saw the damage his policies caused—and refused to ignore it.

That same blindness plays out globally. Instead of standing with Venezuelans who endured a narco-dictatorship, Democrats side with the dictator. Instead of prioritizing American lives destroyed by cartel violence and gang crime, they lecture the public and protect the systems that enable it.

This isn’t coincidence. It’s ideology—one that rewards failure, punishes honesty, and treats accountability as a threat.

And that’s why Democrats keep losing ground. The American people have figured it out. When Democrats take a stand, it’s usually on the wrong side of history.
