Apparently, Dr. Heather Abrahamson thinks that she's smarter than her students. Similarly, she apparently needs to see an eye doctor. She's featured in this week's viral video because she told one of her Becker HS students that "just because you're alive doesn't mean you're intelligent." In the video, she's videotaped as arguing with her class about Renee Nicole Good's death. In fact, she said that it was the ICE officer's responsibility to de-escalate the situation. While that's usually solid advice, some situations don't lend themselves to that. In the video that I saw, Good's partner-in-crime (figure of speach) was taunting the ICE agent while Good parked her vehicle at an angle in the middle of the street. The ICE agent ordered her to get out of the vehicle. Instead of getting out of her vehicle, Good put the vehicle in gear and hit the agent. In what world is that intelligent? She's quoted in the article as saying that ...

A friend of mine reminded me of then-Gov. Wendy Anderson on the cover of Time Magazine holding a 3-4lb. northern pike. In the article, it said that "if California was the girl you'd want to date, Minnesota would be the girl you'd want to marry." These days, they're the women you'd want to divorce. Between both states' fraud, Minnesota's criminal alien population and California's ultra-high taxes, why you'd want to live in either state is a mystery. The more I think about it, that isn't exactly true. I wouldn't want to live in urban cesspools like Minneapolis, L.A. or San Francisco but I'm fine living in St. Cloud. Further, dealing with idiot governors like Gavin Newsom or Tim Walz is painful. Personally, I've dealt with Mark Dayton and Tim Walz the past 15 years. If you talk to well-informed Minnesotans,they'll tell you going from Dayton to Walz was a drop-off. We need a major change. Whether we get that, I don't know. I...

Gavin Newsom traveled from California to Davos, Switzerland to hobnob with the globalists at the World Economic Forum, aka WEF. To say that it hasn't been a fun trip for Gov. Newsom isn't just understatement. It's a point of humiliation for Gov. Newsom which will stick with him for years to come. Gov. Newsom's difficulties started when he characterized Secretary Bessent as being smug. Bessent unloaded on him , "saying the governor 'strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken.'" Then Bessent obliterated Newsom, saying " He may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris . He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros , and Davos is the perfect place for a man who, when everyone else was on lockdown, when he was having people arrested for going to church, he was having $1,000 a night meals at the French Laundry." OUCH! It's gotta sting to be called "the only Californian wh...

It was just a matter of time before the DFL trotted out its time-tested drivel about rich Republicans after Michele Tafoya jumped into the U.S. Senate race. Chairman Carlbom tweeted "Minnesotans want leaders who lower costs and protect health care, not self-interested television personalities looking to turn their support for Donald Trump into a political brand." Of course, it wouldn't be a DFL tweet if it didn't include something about "the rich." Check this out: "Minnesotans want leaders who lower costs and protect health care — not self-interested television personalities looking to turn their support for Donald Trump into a political brand." - DFL Chair Richard Carlbom pic.twitter.com/WjxYUA0L8J — Minnesota DFL (@MinnesotaDFL) January 21, 2026 The DFL should thank their lucky stars that the media either won't talk about Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar, a pair of millionaire socialists, or who will briefly mention the millionaire socialists ...

People from across the political spectrum have speculated whether Michele Tafoya would run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith. This morning, Ms. Tafoya ended that speculation by announcing that she's officially running for Sen. Smith's seat ! KSTP reports that Michele Tafoya "announced Wednesday morning that she’s running for the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota that is currently held by Sen. Tina Smith. Smith announced last year that she would not seek reelection." In a statement, Ms. Tafoya said "I didn’t come to this decision lightly. But I’m not willing to stand on the sidelines while Minnesotans are let down by leaders who refuse to take responsibility. This campaign is about putting people first, not politics as usual." Her videotaped introduction stands out because a) she brings an outsider's voice and an outsider's perspective and b) her positivity is genuine. I've yet to meet her but I've followed her sports broadcast...

Anti-ICE idiot journalists portray themselves as highlighting anti-ICE goons like this: "I think the people risking their lives and livelihoods to protect their neighbors are the best of us, and I feel like we all owe them a debt of gratitude." Stupidity like this deserves highlighting ... for their hatred of the U.S. Not enforcing laws is anti-American. Further, it leads to anarchy. Anarchy leads to corruption, higher crime and higher taxes. Who thinks that's a smart combination? Most of these idiots are 'tear-it-all-down' types. What type of idiot would want to destroy a nation that is one of the most generous nations in history? What type of special idiot would destroy one of the most innovative, most productive nations in history? What type of special idiot thinks that a nation that exports prosperity should be destroyed? Contrary to this idiot's thinking, the anti-ICE agitators don't represent "the best of us." The anti-ICE agitators are de...
