Amy Klobuchar caught (again) doing the same thing over and over

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) got a reputation years ago for repeating the same joke over and over.

Now, she’s using her trademark style for a new bit.

‘Time to get out the shirt.’

Though it may seem like a cruel joke at this point, it has come to the internet’s attention — once more — that Klobuchar (or her team) is back to her old tricks.

As reported by Town Hall columnist Dustin Grage, Klobuchar has used the exact same photo to commemorate a Minnesota Vikings game for four years in a row, offering incredibly minimal efforts to make them seem different.

Starting in 2023, the senator said she was “getting ready” to watch the Vikings game in her shirt that says, “Optimistic since 1961.” This is in reference to the team’s inaugural season and the fact they have never won a Super Bowl.

In 2024, the exact same photo was used for an October 20 game against the Detroit Lions.

“Optimistic since 1961,” the caption read.

Then in 2025, after another game against the Lions: “Yes, Vikings!” a post read, with the same photo now partially cropped, followed by, “and we’ve been optimistic since 1961.”

For the 2026 season opener on Sunday, Klobuchar wrote on her personal X account, “Game Day against the Packers. Time to get out the shirt,” with the same cropped image as last year.

Additionally, Klobuchar has an X video wearing the same shirt in January 2023.

While normally such a situation would be assumed to be a joke, it is hard to tell where the bit starts and the real person stops with Klobuchar.

The senator, who is currently running for governor of Minnesota, was noted as using the same joke repeatedly in the 2020 Democratic primaries, where she continuously referred to a time when President Trump called her “snow woman” on X, then Twitter.

Compilations popped up showing her use the anecdote at speeches and rallies across the country, where Klobuchar would say: “I’d like to see how your hair would fair in a blizzard,” before calling Trump “Mr. Umbrella Man.”

At the same time, rumors of Klobuchar’s off-air personality have followed her for years, including claims that she once ate a salad with a comb after her staff forgot to bring utensils on a short flight.

A New York Times report called it “typical” for Klobuchar to berate her aide for such a slipup. After eating the salad with a comb — according to four people — she told the staff member to clean it.

A campaign spokesperson called the allegations surrounding such stories “ridiculous” but did not directly deny them.

Another rumor about Klobuchar was eventually used as a punchline on the show “Veep.”

The rumor claims Klobuchar had a staffer shave her legs, with the joke manifesting into: “I once dry-shaved that woman’s legs under her desk during a Cabinet meeting.”

According to the Washington Examiner, a Klobuchar representative denied the story and characterized it as completely false and “ridiculous.”

Blaze News reached out to Klobuchar’s office to ask if her posting the same image each year was meant as a joke but did not receive an immediate reply.

The Vikings’ record when the senator posts the photo stands at two wins and two losses.

Armed thug tries to rob victim pumping gas. But perp chooses the wrong victim to violate.

Police in Orland Park, Illinois, responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 15100 Harlem Avenue around 9 a.m. Tuesday, WFLD-TV reported. Orland Park is a village about an hour southwest of Chicago.

Police told the station a person was pumping gas at a Shell station when someone with a weapon tried to rob the victim.

‘Well done.’

You see, police told WFLD the victim in this case was a concealed carry holder who pulled a gun and shot the suspect during the attempted armed robbery.

The suspect was taken to a hospital for treatment, police told the station, adding that the CCL holder is cooperating with police.

Further details about the incident were not immediately clear, WFLD said, including what kind of weapon the suspect possessed.

Police added to the station that a heavy law enforcement presence will remain in the area as the investigation continues, and there is no threat to the public.

More than 500 comments poured into WFLD’s Facebook post about the incident, and users were most definitely behind the actions of the concealed carrier.

“Definition of FAFO,” one commenter wrote.”Charles Bronson is back in action!” another user quipped.”Yes, keep them guessing who may be packing,” another commenter reasoned.”Well done,” another user said. “Yet being in IL I’m sure there will be a rally for the suspect shot and some lawyer ready to defend them. ‘They weren’t really going to rob them.'””Exactly WHY you carry,” another commenter declared. “Personal protection.””It’s a story with a happy ending,” another user noted.”And I get asked why do I need to carry all the time,” another commenter observed.”Give him a medal,” another user stated.

Nick Freitas: George W. Bush said ‘Islam is peace’ after 9/11 — but the Quran says differently

In the emotional aftermath of 9/11, President George W. Bush urged Americans not to blame Islam for the terrorist attacks, instead declaring that “Islam is peace.”

Twenty-five years later, BlazeTV host Nick Freitas is revisiting that message and asking whether the country learned the wrong lessons from its darkest day.

“I don’t know if you guys remember this, but shortly after 9/11, U.S. president visits an Islamic center, and he had this to say,” Freitas says.

“These acts of violence against innocence violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace,” Bush told the crowd.

“Let’s see if that’s true,” Freitas says, before reading several passages from the Quran.

“Surah 9:5: ‘Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free,” reads one excerpt.

“If you either convert to Islam or you agree to pay additional taxes because you’re not Islamic, then you can be free,” Freitas explains.

“Surah 9:29: ‘Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are of the People of the Book), until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued,” reads another.

“So again, you’re allowed to survive as a Christian, as a Jew, as somebody else that’s not a Muslim, right, but only if you’re subdued, only if you’re willing to pay additional taxes,” Freitas says.

And in Surah 47:4, Muslims are instructed: “So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens.”

“It’s a religion of peace, man,” Freitas comments. “How do you know it’s a religion of peace? Well, George Bush says so.”

“To say otherwise is to be mean. And we’re not allowed to be mean,” he adds.

They say ‘never forget’ as Muslims gain power in America — and laugh at the 9/11 memorial

Young Americans may be posting “Never Forget” in light of the 25th anniversary of the most devastating terror attack to hit American soil, but that doesn’t mean they’re not really forgetting.

“Sometimes I feel like people who did not live through it don’t fully appreciate what we’re up against. Like something changes in you when you live through something like that. And I think the younger generation, they just don’t get it,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales tells Xaviaer DuRousseau.

“Unless you went through it, you’re just like, ‘Yeah, whatever. What? Let’s go along to get along. What could possibly go wrong with, you know, bringing in Islam here?’ They just don’t get it ‘cause they didn’t live through it,” she continues.

DuRousseau points out that there was even a “TikTok trend” a couple of years ago where users were siding with Osama bin Laden.

“The fact that they are glorifying this mindset that we are allowing so many people with the jihadi ideology to gain power and influence in our country and they’re very outspoken about it: That’s terrifying to me,” he says.

“And not just in our country, but in New York freaking City. We have the Muslim commie mayor Zohran Mamdani, who they were protesting. They didn’t want him to show up to their 9/11 memorial, but he did,” Gonzales says.

“And he went and shook hands with Rudy Giuliani, who of course was the mayor of New York City during 9/11,” she adds, pointing out that there was “an interesting moment” when Mamdani was caught on camera laughing with AOC.

However, it wasn’t just a random moment — but they were laughing while the names of all those who died on 9/11 were read aloud.

“That’s crazy,” DuRousseau says. “That just shows how unserious this is to them.”

“If you are the mayor of New York City, I expect that you live and breathe and are just like, you know, truly understanding your city and what the people there have gone through and the trauma that they are enduring,” he continues.

“You were supposed to be there amongst the people, and instead you were totally removed and disassociated and just going and having a laugh off with AOC,” he says. “Like, that’s wild.”

Trump shooter Thomas Crooks was emotionless from birth, says his father in chilling new details about Butler attacker

The father of Thomas Crooks has revealed chilling details about his life before he tried to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The revelations by Matthew Crooks were reported in FBI interview summaries and other documents exclusively reviewed by the New York Post. They were from the congressional investigation into the shooting.

‘Thomas did not like the welfare state and was against the “woke” ideology but never really espoused the Republican ideology.’

The father said that he never really had any strong father-son bond with Thomas, who was stoic and hard to read.

“When Thomas was born he did not scream, and he was always quiet from that point on,” said the father.

Crooks said his son had a troubled childhood but that he was very intelligent. Thomas damaged school property in elementary school out of boredom, and his parents thought he had ADHD or had fallen in with a bad group of friends in middle school.

His father said he even “pushed” Thomas in hopes of prompting some kind of emotional response, and Thomas did begin to cry.

He became even quieter in high school and had trouble speaking with his teachers, according to Matthew Crooks. His son also started talking to himself, a habit that “became more noticeable over the years.”

Thomas was able to score a 1400 on the SAT without studying, according to the father, and then scored a near perfect 1500 on a second try.

Thomas denied being gay many times over the years, as his parents noted that he didn’t seem to have an interest in girls.

Matthew Crooks said his son developed a great interest in guns and asked if he needed to pass a background check to purchase his father’s Glock. He asked if he could have his grandfather’s guns but did not appear to care about hunting as a sport.

Although Thomas Crooks was a terrible marksman at first, his father says his son got far better after several years of practice. He showed off his range targets to his father, explaining that “he wanted to see how far he could shoot with rudimentary sights.”

In fact, Matthew Crooks admitted he handed Thomas a Panther A-15 rifle the morning of the shooting, believing that his son was going to the shooting range, according to the Post, citing federal records.

RELATED: Journalist at Trump assassination attempt says he got PTSD — from Trump supporters

Matthew Crooks said Thomas was registered as a Republican, but the father believed he did so only because of his father’s Republican registration. His son had a general interest in politics but was not terribly passionate about the topic.

“Thomas called himself a Republican. Thomas did not like the welfare state and was against the ‘woke’ ideology but never really espoused the Republican ideology,” Matthew Crooks said.

He said his son was shocked at the events of Jan. 6 and did not think the 2020 election had been rigged. Thomas donated $15 to a progressive Democratic group in 2021.

Thomas Crooks liked rap and country music, said Matthew, who sometimes found his son dancing alone in his room.

Thomas “never showed any signs indicating something was wrong,” Matthew said to investigators.

Thomas did begin buying things on Amazon, including “parts, tools, and items to increase the capacity of his rifle,” eventually adopting the pseudonym “Bob Dole” for his delivery address to thwart potential hackers, his dad said.

The family is “racking” their brains trying to understand why Thomas tried to kill the president.

Trump was shot in the ear on July 13, 2024, and three rally attendees were shot behind him, one of whom died. Crooks was almost immediately shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper.

It just got easier to pay at Walmart, if you follow these simple steps

Mobile-based contactless payment services are 15 years old, starting with Google Wallet in 2011 (which later became Google Pay), followed by Apple Pay in 2014. Many stores slowly rolled out support over years of foot-dragging, while large chains like Walmart tried to push their own payment solution. However, after nearly two decades of hemming and hawing, the retail giant is finally caving in. Here’s what you need to know before the next time you try to buy something at Walmart with Apple Pay or Google Pay.

While Google was the first to bring contactless payments to mobile, the industry took notice when Apple introduced its own solution to the market. Built around the wildly successful iPhone and Apple Watch, Apple Pay quickly picked up steam. Today, it accounts for 50% of in-store transactions in the United States, while Google Pay only covers 17%. Globally, that makes up a difference of $9.5 trillion spent through Apple’s ecosystem versus $5.2 trillion on Google’s platform.

The rollout has already begun at select locations.

It wasn’t always that way, though. In the earlier days of contactless payments, the market was more like the Wild West with various companies jockeying for control. Some stores even launched their own payment services to compete.

Walmart Pay ruined the party

Walmart released Walmart Pay in 2015 as a direct in-store alternative to Apple and Google. The key selling point, at least for Walmart, was that its payment service worked with a QR code system. That meant any customer could use any phone to scan the code at the register to connect to their Walmart account and submit a payment.

RELATED: A YouTube stunt proved this Apple Pay exploit can drain your bank account in seconds. Here’s the fix.

Unfortunately, the process was clunkier than Apple Pay and Google Pay, which only required users to hover their devices over payment terminals and authenticate with a fingerprint or FaceID. Walmart Pay also gave the retail giant the power to monitor customers’ purchases and link them to their accounts — a stark difference to Apple Pay and Google Pay that hide identifying customer information and transaction data from merchants.

In other words, Walmart Pay gave the company insight into customers’ shopping habits that it couldn’t get from other platforms … until now.

Contactless payments are coming to Walmart

After all these years of waiting, Walmart announced that it is finally giving customers the choice to use other contactless payment options. As a result, customers will soon be allowed to complete purchases with Apple Pay and Google Pay at the register in Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs nationwide.

The rollout has already begun at select locations, and all stores will have access to these services by the end of 2026. After that, Walmart and Sam’s Club fuel stations will gain contactless support by mid-2027. This change also means that customers should have the option to use contactless payment credit cards and debit cards with EMV chips, as well.

How to make sure your phone is set up for contactless payments

Now that you can buy things with your phone at Walmart, you’ll want to make sure your device is set up before you walk into the store.

To add a card to Apple Pay, open the Wallet app on iPhone, select the plus symbol in the top right corner, and choose “Debit or Credit Card.” From there, you can place your iPhone against the card to add it automatically through the EMV chip, or type in the card details by hand. Once the card is added, you may have to verify the information with your bank or credit union through the bank’s official app or via a text or phone call. Do this, and you’re all set to use Apple Pay.

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Apple Pay

On Android, open the Wallet app and tap the plus button at the bottom. On the next screen, select “Payment card,” then “new credit or debit,” and let the app take a photo of your card to add the details. You can also write them in manually, if you prefer. Verify the information with your bank or credit union, and you’re all set to use Google Pay.

In the end, contactless payments on iPhone and Android are more convenient and secure than tapping your credit card at the register or trusting an alternative payment solution, like Walmart Pay.

Finally! EPA poised to repeal some climate hysteria over carbon emissions

For decades, the government led a crusade against carbon dioxide, treating the byproduct of human breath as a pollutant causing global warming and climate change. Luckily, cooler heads have finally prevailed as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency aims to pull back carbon emission restrictions for the sake of the American people, power plants, and the economy.

The Clean Air Act has been around since the 1970s. The original version specifically targeted vehicle emissions, namely carbon monoxide, which is harmful to humans in concentrated quantities.

’Even if you got rid of all GHG emissions tomorrow, it would have no meaningful climate impact.’

However, in recent decades, the bill morphed to cover a broader range of “pollutants,” including human breath in the form of carbon dioxide, cow flatulence that produces methane, and other supposed “greenhouse gases.”

Yet one of the more egregious restrictions came directly from the Biden administration, which used the Inflation Reduction Act to attack fossil fuels because of the carbon dioxide emitted during the burning process.

This distinction helped the Biden administration further vilify the fossil fuels industry and secure $369 billion in funding to cut carbon emissions and bankroll clean energy initiatives.

RELATED: New peer-reviewed study points out the obvious: Carbon emissions are feeding plants and greening the planet

Visions of America/Joseph Sohm/Universal Images Group/Getty Images

That is all about to change.

On Monday, the EPA officially removed some of the power-plant carbon emissions restrictions put in place by the Biden administration in 2024 and proposed repealing the others.

EPA spokesman Mike Bastasch told Blaze News:

Repealing the costly and ineffective Biden-Harris carbon pollution standards will save Americans up to $310 billion. The power sector will save billions of dollars in compliance costs, and Americans will save billions of dollars more by not having to fund tax credits for CO2 sequestration. The Trump EPA is committed to protecting human health and the environment while also driving economic growth, lowering energy costs, and improving standards of living.

EPA is also proposing to rescind all remaining GHG emissions requirements for power plants, which have imposed unnecessary requirements and drained the power sector’s resources, while producing virtually no benefit. …

The reality is that even if you got rid of all GHG emissions tomorrow, it would have no meaningful climate impact. This fact is confirmed by the same models used by the Obama administration. EPA estimates that the supplemental proposal would save $370 million in costs.

Ultimately, the benefits of the repeal are threefold: Energy companies no longer have to abide by costly climate edicts of past administrations. American citizens save money on taxes. Finally, the people gain much-needed relief from climate change hysteria, thanks to models that suggest continued greenhouse gas remediation would have an insignificant impact on climate trends around the globe.

This move is just one of many that indicate climate change hysteria is coming to an end. Late last year, Bill Gates admitted that climate change wouldn’t end the world after all. The Antarctic has also gained ice while melting in the Arctic has slowed, despite doomer claims that the latter would be “ice-free” by 2020.

Some “experts” have even claimed that reduced emissions are the problem.

Gmail is about to fill your inbox with political spam. Here’s how to skip it.

It’s impossible to miss election season. Signs show up in neighbors’ yards, the mountains of fliers pile up in the mail, and your email inbox fills up with political messages asking for donations or a vote. In the past, you could easily file these emails into the spam folder and rarely hear from the sender again, but not this year.

Google’s new verified sender program for Gmail lets politicians skip your spam filter and go straight to your inbox, whether you like it or not. Luckily, there are still ways to get rid of them.

The program ensures you can’t escape political advertisements.

Google recently unveiled its Gmail Verified Sender Program set to launch on September 8. Once it rolls out, verified senders, including politicians, can bypass any previous filters that would’ve sent them to your spam or junk folder. Instead, they’ll go straight into your inbox where they’re most likely to reach you.

Sounds like a nightmare, right?

According to Google, this system “helps eligible, verified political committees in the United States reliably deliver policy-compliant and non-abusive messages to personal Gmail accounts on an ongoing basis.” In reality, the program ensures you can’t escape political advertisements, at least not with the usual methods.

Politicians have to follow the rules

If there’s any saving grace, it’s that Google has some ground rules for any politician who wishes to use the new program. Politicians have to:

Refrain from sending anything that resembles spam, including unsolicited or repetitive emails. Theoretically, if you didn’t sign up for a political mailer, you shouldn’t be subjected to these messages in the first place.Meet all of Google’s mass email guidelines, which include proper domain authentication and message formatting. All emails must also include an “unsubscribe” button for CAN-SPAM compliance.Follow Gmail’s anti-abuse policy, which means they can’t attempt to commit fraud, promote illicit activities, engage in harassment, or other unsavory behaviors.

Furthermore, if more than 0.3% of respondents label an incoming email as spam across any rolling 14-day period, Google may suspend the politician’s email operations for seven days or terminate his or her email program entirely.

RELATED: Google is finally letting you change the most important thing about your Gmail account. Here’s how.

How to keep political emails out of your inbox

Just because political emails can bypass your spam folder doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to keep them out of your inbox. In fact, Google’s rules alone show that there are still several things you can do to clear out the political clutter. Here are your options:

Hit the unsubscribe button: By law, all commercial emails and advertisements — including political messages — are required to include a simple-to-find unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email. Click on that, confirm your decision on the next page that pops up, and you should be opted out of future email chains.Get creative with Gmail labels: Google gave Gmail a neat little trick that lets you target emails with specific keywords, or that arrive from certain senders, and automatically throw them in the trash. To set up one of these filters, open Gmail in your web browser on a computer, click the Settings cog in the top right corner, then select “See all settings.” From here, go to “Filters and blocked addresses,” and create a new filter. Type in the information you want to target and select “Create filter.” On the checkboxes page, mark “Delete it.” Lastly, click the “Create filter” button, and you’re all set. No more political emails.

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Gmail

Hit the spam button anyway: When a political email drops into your inbox, you reserve the right to relabel it as spam. While this may not keep the next email from that campaign from hitting your inbox again, your efforts can help suspend the account or even terminate it.Use a different email provider: When all else fails, you can always put your Gmail aside and use a different email provider that will let you block political messages from the start.

Election season is all about reaching as many voters on as many issues as possible, but that doesn’t mean you have to listen to it. Follow these steps and reclaim a bit of your sanity, at least for your email inbox.

Knife-wielding male stabs mother, daughter in random attack, cops say — but arriving deputy puts stop to threat with his gun

A knife-wielding male stabbed a mother and daughter in a random attack in Northern California, police said — but an arriving sheriff’s deputy put a stop to the threat with his gun.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office released a summary video Friday detailing what took place on the morning of July 15.

‘Kudos to the deputy that [saved] the innocent victims’ lives by eliminating the threat.’

The sheriff’s office said its communications center received a call around 6:30 a.m. stating that a transient adult male was causing a disturbance at a Starbucks at Elkhorn Boulevard and Diablo Drive in Sacramento.

Employees said the suspect was behind the store counter and armed with a “kitchen knife,” officials noted, adding that store employees hid in a back room while waiting for law enforcement to arrive.

But when deputies arrived on the scene, the suspect had already fled, officials said.

Minutes later, a deputy saw an individual matching the suspect’s description walking on Diablo Drive, officials said.

The suspect ran into an open garage of a residence in the 5700 block of Diablo Drive, and the suspect stabbed and cut a 63-year-old mother numerous times as she was getting into her vehicle, officials said.

Her 26-year-old daughter heard screams and saw the suspect on top of her mother, officials said, adding that the daughter pushed the suspect off her mother, saving her from further attack.

But the suspect then focused his attack on the daughter, who also was cut and stabbed numerous times, officials said.

The deputy who initially saw the suspect witnessed the suspect’s attacks in the garage, officials said, adding that the deputy fired his handgun toward the suspect, striking the suspect.

Additional deputies arrived and immediately began administering lifesaving measures to the suspect and both victims, officials said.

Fire personnel responded to the scene and pronounced the suspect dead, officials said.

Both victims were taken to a hospital, where they were listed in serious but stable condition, officials said.

The suspect has been identified as Faryeshyi Allahdin, officials said, adding that no deputies were injured during the incident.

Officials said investigators believe the attack was random, and the victims had no known connection to the suspect.

Commenters below the sheriff’s office video posted to Facebook had high praise for law enforcement:

“Kudos to the deputy that [saved] the innocent victims’ lives by eliminating the threat,” one commenter wrote.”Nice shot by the deputy & thank you for not hesitating so that the perpetrator could not do any fatal damage,” another user wrote. “This is a happy ending — no trial & further trauma to the victims needed & no revolving door on prison/jail for this guy who’d probably go on to terrorize more victims after being let out too soon.””Thank you for you courageous service, officer,” another commenter said. “And dang that daughter — kudos for jumping in to [help] her mom.””Police officers are heroes… no other way to say it,” another user declared.
