Electing Democrats helps accomplish 2 things. First, it helps deplete the Medicaid funding for important programs like Housing Stabilization Services, Autism centers and "Learing Centers." The other thing it 'helps' is it helps criminals roam free . In this case, the criminals roaming free were confirmed to be Somali gangs : 🚨 BREAKING: The Eden Prairie Police Department officially confirms that last night’s shooting was gang related. These Somali gangs are out of control. It’s time to vote in new leadership that will actually work to keep Minnesotans safe. pic.twitter.com/GgtAwKcHPB — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) October 3, 2026 Thankfully, Gov. Walz is all over this: State officials are assisting local authorities to find those responsible after a shooting outside the Eden Prairie football game. No homecoming, in any community, should be disrupted by gun violence. Minnesotans are keeping students and families in our thoughts tonight. — Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWal...

Friday night's KSTP scheduled debates had several distinct winners, including the moderators of the CD-2 debate, Tom Hauser, who moderated the conversations with GOP AG Candidate Ron Schutz, GOP Senate Candidate Michele Tafoya and GOP gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth. Further, Schutz and Demuth turned in impressive performances. Michele Tafoya didn't have her strongest performance but I'd still argue that she had a solid interview with Tom Hauser. It's difficult picking tonight's biggest winner so I'll pick several MAJOR WINNERS ! Tom Hauser's first interview was with Ron Schutz. What struck me is the contrast between Keith Ellison's defensive bragging, most often while defending his inaction against preventing or prosecuting fraud. In many of these instances, Ellison was caught by Bill Glahn to not told the whole truth. In Schutz's interview, he often displayed a commannd of the law and a passion for ethics. AG Ellison's name will never be a...

It's pretty obvious that the DFL's major statewide candidates won't strike fear in people's hearts when it comes to debating. Let's be undiplomatic about tonight's scheduled KSTP debates. KSTP reports that "Next Friday, Oct. 2, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS will host primetime statewide debates focused on the races for Governor, Senate, and Attorney General. Invitations were sent out after the primaries, and 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS continues to speak with the campaigns. So far, Lisa Demuth, Michele Tafoya and Ron Schutz have confirmed plans to appear." Confident candidates can't wait to debate their opponents. In 2024, President Trump couldn't wait to debate Joe Biden. That turned into the biggest debate bloodbath in political history, even surpassing Reagan's thumping of Jimmy Carter. Then, too, Carter still had a functioning brain. Biden didn't. But I digress. There's a strategy to the DFL's skipping of debates. Klobuchar is the only DFL candi...

After reading this Alpha News article about Minnesota's disturbing test scores, people HAVE GOTTEN IMPATIENT with Minnesota's educational decline. Minnesota's parents aren't satisfied with EdMinn's and the DFL's failing status quo. I say failing rather than failed because Minnesota's public schools haven't reversed the course. Luke Sprinkel reports "According to 2026 data from the Minnesota Report Card, MDE’s online portal for student achievement scores, just 48.6% of students are proficient in reading. Meanwhile, only 44.9% are proficient in math and just 25.5% are proficient in science. Data from the Minnesota Report Card shows math proficiency has hovered between 44% and 45% since 2022 while science proficiency was 26.2% last year. Similarly, reading proficiency was at 51% in 2022 and dropped to 49.5% by 2025." We're entering an AI world. How can Minnesota compete when only 25.5% are grade-proficient in science? That's a recipe for...

Jenna Gloeb's reporting is potentially explosive. Potentially, it might end her political career or put her in prison or both. According to the article, "Investigators substantiated three workplace policy violations and confirmed that Mayor Kaohly Her's unwanted touching caused Police Chief Axel Henry considerable discomfort. His attorney called the city's initial two-page summary a taxpayer-funded 'whitewash.'" Apparently, PC Henry's attorney nailed it with the whitewash statement. Gloeb also reported "A newly released investigative report into St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her reveals far more than the two-page summary initially released by the city, detailing unwanted touching, a sexually suggestive meme and multiple violations of the city’s workplace conduct policy." Apparently, Her doesn't think that her actions are inappropriate. That type of lack of self-control likely will cost Her her job and St. Paul taxpayers a ton of money in a settl...

Alan Dershowitz is a passionate man and not just because he's a well-informed pro-Jewish American. Alan Dershowitz lived through the McCarthy ero. He saw the bigotry of the deep South when the KKK ran wild and black churches burned on a seemingly weekly basis. Dershowitz's NY Post op-ed is must-reading for anyone who opposes antisemites, loves Israel and loves America. The Case Against Palestine Why are they pro-Palestine? Why should anybody be pro-Palestine? The Palestinian cause is the worst human rights issue in the history of the world. Palestinians could have had a state in 1947. They turned it down. Instead, they tried to massacre the Jews. They could have had a state in 1967, or 1973. They could have had a state in 2000, and 2001. Ask Bill Clinton. He says it over and over again. They turned down statehood. Israel returned Gaza in 2005, and what did the Palestinians do? Instead of creating Singapore on the Mediterranean, they elected Hamas, who then murdered their polit...
