According to Dustin Grage's reporting , "The Republican Attorneys General Association (@RepublicanAGs) is dropping a seven-figure ad blitz against Keith Ellison in Minnesota. The first ad 'Thanks, Keith' will be targeting Keith Ellison overseeing Minnesota’s nation leading fraud." According to this Alpha News article , "The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) is launching a $7 million ad campaign to support Republican attorneys general and Republican candidates for attorney general in 13 states, one of those being Minnesota." This year's Minnesota GOP statewide nominees is the strongest group of candidates in Minnesota since 2002. With Michele Tafoya for U.S. Senate, Lisa Demuth for Governor and Ron Schutz for AG, GOP candidates up and down the ticket will be strengthened. Grage reported "Keith Ellison (D) won by less than one percentage point in the second-closest attorney general race of 2022. Poll after poll shows Ellison is deepl...

Keith Ellison, Minnesota's spineless DFL AG, has been callled out by the Republican Party of Minnesota. As Minnesota's chief law enforcement officer, Keith Ellison has failed. He failed to stop fraud. According to Alpha News's report, "Last week, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi signed an agreement with alleged members of Somali gangs where those individuals said they would stay away from the state fair this year." What a pair of wimps. If we had a strong AG, we'd have an AG telling "alleged members of Somali gangs" what the penalties would be if they harassed people visiting the GOP Fair Booth or any other booth. Ron Schutz, the GOP nominee for attorney general, issued a statement saying "Sheriff Bob Fletcher, State Fair police, and law enforcement officers are using every tool available to protect Minnesota families. They deserve our gratitude and support. They should never have been forced into th...

GOP gubernatorial nominee Lisa Demuth issued a statement last night about 'ghost student' fraud. This KSTP investigation article highlights the situation. Speaker Demuth's statement says "Yet another scheme to defraud taxpayers was revealed last night. This is yet another example of Minnesota institutions not protecting the tax dollars they receive from hard-working Minnesotans. This reporting focuses on the harm to federal loan programs, but Minnesota, through the State Grant program and NorthStar Promise Act, provides state funds to attend these same colleges. As speaker, I led the fight to provide $3 million to Minnesota State for software to detect and prevent fraud involving ‘ghost students'. When I am governor, I will ensure that controls and assurances are in place before any state dollars are sent to ghost students or the schools that allow them to enroll. If this requires additional authority, I will immediately work with the legislature. The era of letti...

On August 23, I wrote this post about the DFL's imminent affordability crisis, which I titled "The DFL's affordability LIE exposed." In it, I wrote about the Democrats' federal affordability problem by telling people about the $1,900,000,000,000 spent on the American Rescue Plan. That spending gave us 9.1% inflation. Then I wrote about the DFL Trifecta spending the entire $18,000,000,000 projected surplus before hiking taxes by $10,000,000,000. The result was a $6,000,000,000 projected deficit. Then I wrote about Minneapolis's 11.3% property tax hike, which many people can't afford. As lengthy of a list as that is, we aren't finished. According to this KSTP article , "The Minneapolis Public School Board is expected to approve its preliminary levy in two weeks. That deadline approaches as board members are being briefed about a new report assessing the district’s financial and business practices. That report, by the Center for Effective School Ope...

After reading this report , I'm left thinking that the Hennepin County Libraries have become a porn/gay pride hub. According to the report, "Cristine Trooien, the founder of Minnesota Partnership for Achievement and the Minnesota Parents Alliance, said she recently visited a Hennepin County library with her 11-year-old and found a trove of 'agenda-driven books' aimed at young readers." Point the finger of blame directly at Gov. Tim Walz, the DFL pervert governor of Minnesota. The DSA took over the DFL when Omar Fateh temporarily was endorsed by the DFL. The DFL Establishment ganged up on the DSA to strip Fateh of the endorsement but the DSA has essentially taken over the DFL. Through it all, though, Gov. Walz has been the most far-left governor in Minnesota's history. He's the governor who signed the biggest biennial budget in Minnesota history. He spent every penny of the biggest in Minnesota history and left Minnesota with a deficit. In this video, Gov. ...

Alpha News reports that "The largest association of law enforcement officers in Minnesota has endorsed Republican Michele Tafoya for U.S. Senate over Democrat Peggy Flanagan." In their letter to Tafoya announcing their endorsement, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, aka the MPPOA, wrote "This endorsement reflects our strong confidence in your leadership, character, and steadfast commitment to public safety. The men and women who serve in communities throughout our state deeply appreciate your dedication to ensuring their safety and the safety of the citizens they protect." This is a significant endorsement because it tells the people of Minnesota that their families will be protected. It tells small businesses, especially retail shops, that crime won't steal their profits. That, in turn, permits the industry to invest in growing the business instead of FORCING THEM to spend money protecting their assets, whether it's buildings, people or ...
