FIRST ON FOX: Minnesota Republican lawmaker Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, announced on Friday she is ending her gubernatorial campaign to replace embattled Gov. Tim Walz.

“It was not a tough decision to get into the race 10 months ago,” Robbins exclusively told Fox News Digital. “We could not allow Tim Walz to have a third term in Minnesota. He’s destroyed our state, and we had to stop him and so I think I made a great case for that, and because of all my work on the fraud committee he got out 9 months ahead of schedule, which is great.”

Robbins continued, “Once Senator Klobuchar became sort of the anointed candidate to replace him, I just think the establishment kind of circled the wagons and, you know, it became a challenging endeavor, and I’m a realist, and I am a numbers person, and when I look at the math, I don’t see a path for me to win.”

Weeks after Walz dropped his re-election bid in January amid a massive fraud scandal that unfolded during his watch, Sen. Amy Klobuchar jumped into the race, bringing her deep political backing and name recognition with her as the presumptive nominee for the Democrats.

Robbins told Fox News Digital she determined it was better to “bow out” and find a “new way to contribute” due to love of her state and the realization that there are “many ways to serve.”

In terms of what’s next, Robbins says she hasn’t had the time to give that much thought but said she is focused on closing out the current legislative session and said “there’s a lot of big things going on in the front committee.”

“I know where the bodies are buried,” Robbins said about the fraud situation, pointing out that there is much more work to be done to get answers on how the billions of dollars in fraud was allowed to go unchecked for so long.

With Robbins exiting the race, the Republicans vying to win the gubernatorial primary include: Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, healthcare executive Kendall Qualls, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, and several other lesser known candidates.

Robbins told Fox News Digital she will “not be endorsing anyone.”

“That will be up to the voters to decide, and I wish all the other candidates well,” Robbins said.

Ultimately, Robbins says her “overwhelming thought” is “gratitude” when she looks back on her campaign.

“I am so grateful for the last ten months of going all over the state meeting Minnesotans from every walk of life and to have had the privilege to run for governor and meet all these amazing people and hear their stories, be inspired by what they want for Minnesota,” Robbins said. “I am just so grateful and so privileged.”

Robbins says that going forward, the “answers” are not going to come from the capitol in St. Paul, but rather “from the communities and from the people” and she “looks forward to plugging into that.”

A Polk County, Florida man who often plays Santa Claus is behind bars after deputies say he tried to meet up and have sex with an underage girl.

Thomas Allen Hicks, 68, was one of 19 suspects arrested on charges of attempting to allegedly travel to have sex with minors, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) said.

Arresting documents reveal that Hicks, who performs as Santa, allegedly accessed a prostitution website and was hoping to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. The “girl” was being offered up by her father.

An undercover deputy was behind the fake ad, though, police said. As Hicks began messaging the deputy, the sheriff’s office said, he told the deputy he would pay $200 to have sex with the girl. 

Later in their conversation, Hicks allegedly revealed his location to “meet up,” where he was caught and cuffed.

“I talked to the real Santa Claus today, and he’s pissed,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said during a news conference, FOX 13 reported. “He said it’s people like that who give me a bad reputation and I spend all this time going all around the world giving presents to all the good boys and girls. Sheriff, I’m glad you got him locked up.

“You can’t fix these people. They’ve got a hitch in their giddy up. Their elevator don’t go all the way to the top. It stops at P – pedophile floor. It stops at P – predator floor. It stops at C – Child predator floor. These are dangerous people.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Hicks’s attorney for comment.

Prior to his arrest, Hicks worked for Tri-County Human Services, a behavioral health clinic. He has since been fired.

In a statement sent to FOX 13, the company said: “Tri-County supports the Polk County Sheriff’s office in their investigation and activities to maintain the safety of the community.  Mr. Hicks did not have access to clients or their electronic health record and was not able to gather any data related to child information at any time during his employment.”

“It never ceases to amaze us how many suspects travel to have sex with who they believe are children, especially here in Polk County where we proactively investigate and arrest those who prey on children. Speaking of believing, we even arrested Santa Claus during this undercover operation.”

GOT A TIP?

I write quite a bit about annoying celebrities who turn into self-help gurus in their 30s because they have nothing else to do in life. One thing leads to another and they’re praying to imaginary butterflies, eating dandelion leaves out of their yards and posting inspirational quotes on Instagram.

Danica Patrick has some of those tendencies, BUT, at least she mixes in sports, working out in the gym and then some weird Burning Man Festival content here and there. She actually lives the MAHA lifestyle. One day she’s doing deadlifts in the gym, the next minute she’s smashing forehands on the tennis court.

This woman is 44-years-old and has hamstrings that just refuse to snap. She has thighs that can crush watermelons. She has forearms that have been through NASCAR wars. Her shoulders are shredded.

She goes bikini skiing. She sucks down wine straight from the bottle. She golfs. She even goes skydiving for fun. You know why the LIBS hate Danica? Because she’s physically fit to do all these activities. While the fat purple hairs are busy screaming on Bluesky, Danica is out smashing forehands looking chiseled.

That’s why we love Danica at OutKick. She got busy living.

The rec baseball season got started with a win on the road last night

It was an absolute battle until the end. Classic rec league nail-biter. Could my boys close out a road win? After jumping out to a 7-1 lead, it looked like we were going to coast last night. The boys put up five in the first and had runners at second and third in the second inning looking to blow it wide open when their center fielder made a nice catch on a ball to prevent what could’ve easily been a run-rule night.

Instead, we had a rough 4th inning. The ball started finding holes on defense. The opponent started running the bags and it was a battle for survival. In the 5th, with a 9-8 lead. I told Screencaps Jr. I needed an inning out of him. He got the first two outs, but then, he got into a jam. He had runners at second and third with two outs. Tough spot. Pressure packed. You could feel the tension in the air.

He proceeds to get the next hitter on a called third strike. Inning over. We manufacture two insurance runs in the top of the 6th, Screencaps Jr. throws a 1-2-3 bottom half of the inning and we sneak out with an opening night win.

You’re damn right I’m exhausted: mentally, physically, emotionally. I have kids complaining of wrist injuries. I have a kid that magically has a heel injury. I have two kids who miss practice and games for soccer. My Indian kid is back in India, I think. Those of you who’ve been through these battle for survival wars know what I’m going through right now. You know what it’s like to create lineups with so much uncertainty. Will I have nine players on a nightly basis? Who knows.

What matters is that we’re 1-0 and that’s one fewer game we have to play in June when I want to be on the patio suckin’ down Kona beers and listening to Yacht Rock by the pool. Saturday morning, we get back at it.

– J Shep reacts to Thursday Screencaps: “Choke out the other team. Not physically. In a figurative way.” Made me laugh as it reminded me of a story from when I coached my then third-fourth grader’s Y soccer team. Was always preaching that the kids attack the ball, even as a defender. Don’t wait, be aggressive! During a game, one of the boys was just standing there watching a boy from the other team dribbling. I yell from the sideline, “Don’t watch, attack him.” Our boy runs up, shoves the other player, and gets the ball. Whistle blows, foul called, I have to bring our player to the sideline and explain that I meant he should be aggressive like we practiced. Learned a valuable lesson that day — kids who listen, well, they really listen. And take what you say literally. Always made sure to say “attack the ball” after that!

Boy, Adam really let me have it

All I said is that Bud Light chose its path and it was a complete and utter disaster. That turns into this DISGUSTING message from Adam, but I kinda like it. It shows the anger that’s inside these people. It shows how distorted they want this world to look if they got their way. It proves everything I’ve ever written about Adam and people just like him.

– Meanwhile, Rick in San Diego writes: Joe, that was the best article I’ve read in a long time. You are a Master at what you do. Cheers.🍻

– Shashi R. writes: Your article boils down to “Sex sells and that’s what I want”.   Absolutely nothing wrong with feeling that way but very silly to make it seem like a political issue.

Kinsey: But it is a political issue. Remember the party that had a trans dude with giant fake implants on the White House lawn? That was celebrated by the lefties as liberation, or something stupid like that.

– Megan F. emails: I’m sitting in Chilis having lunch and looking at the news. Your article on Bud Light’s marketing is cracking me up – it is really making my day “Seriously guys, email me. I will help” Priceless. ThanksMegan (I’m 75. Used to watch Mays and McCovey and the Alou brothers at Candlestick for $3 third base line ticket)

– Al writes: I enjoyed reading your column about Miller Lite Ads, in contrast to Bud Light. I continue to be shocked that the marketing manager at Bud Light, who called Bud Light’s customers “fratty and out of touch,” actually thought that was a winning strategy. 

– Jack B. has experience in this industry: I enjoyed reading your post about Miller Brewing marketing vs Bud Light. As a former executive in the beverage alcohol industry with a rich experience in marketing, a very wise person once told me “give the consumer what they want” and you will be successful. AB grossly errored in their approach by building a campaign around a Tranny or whatever that was.

Everyone from the CEO on down that signed off on that campaign should have been relieved of their positions. That was not conceived and executed by the Marketing VP that was identified in the news alone. A big company does not put something like that out there on their biggest brand without the approval from their bosses.

They got what they deserved on the market share loss and never have really recovered from it. The amazing part of this story is that other companies followed suit and also failed. They lose sight of the task they are charged with and that is to sell their brand to consumers, not engage in whatever the flavor of the month social cause is happening at the time. All morons.

Harvey D. fires back at Brandon in Pinckney for adding ‘tucky to a SW Ohio town’s name

– Harvey D. emails: I apologize if my previous comment caused any offense; I certainly didn’t mean to upset you. I don’t need anymore ppl with defense contacts being ticked at me! The reference I used is something that has stuck with me for over 40 plus years, dating back to when I was doing gopher work for a general contractor all over the Miami Valley. This was long before Fairfield Commons and gentrification. (Yes, I can say I remember when all this was farmland!) At the time, the old tradesmen used that term because they said the area was full of people who had moved out of Huber Heights! 

April in Italy

– Ken G. is on the road and reports: Traveling through Italy can’t stop me from reading Screencaps everyday. I figured I share some meat from Bologne (including some fish meat)

That is it this Friday morning. There are so many new readers. So many emails to go through. So little time. Between Thursday Night Mowing League –– yes, I held a Facebook Live press conference last night after baseball –– and life, these are busy times.

But, that’s life, and we must soldier on. One foot in front of the other. I know this, when I turn off my work computer later tonight after building Saturday Screencaps because we have a 9 a.m. baseball game tomorrow morning, I am going to crash.

Let’s get May off to a great start. Go crush another day of work, life or retirement. Have a great day.
