Tim Walz's deficit, surplus

Image
It isn't surprising that Gov. Tim Walz is still engaged in fiscal happy talk . Coming from a man who spent an entire $17,500,000,000 projected surplus in 2023, that's to be expected. Coming from a DFL politician who spent that record surplus, then raised taxes by $10,000,000,000 , I'd be surprised if he didn't act fiscally irresponsibly. Gov. Walz is quoted as saying "Despite the President’s tariffs and destabilization of health care costs, Minnesota’s annual budget forecast has improved in both the short and long term thanks to the responsible budgeting we’ve done in Minnesota." Spoken like a true socialist. First, President Trump didn't cause the destabilization of health care costs. They've been destabilized since President Obama signed the UNaffordable Care Act into law. Next, tariffs didn't destabilize the economy. The DFL's socialist econoomic policies destabilized the economy. Third, a growing economy isn't slowed that much by things...

CAIR-MN's intentional mischaracterization?

The Biden-Walz inflation theft

Image
Let's not tiptoe with words like affordability. That's the DFL's euphemism for Bidenflation, which was the worst since the late Jimmy Carter. Simply put, inflation is a thief. It's stealing the American Dream from Gen-Z. Let's not tiptoe around socialism, either. Socialism is a thief, too. Thriving economies are built upon capitalism, not socialism. Show me a socialist nation and I'll show you a nation without a middle class. It's that simple. Joe Biden isn't the only thief that's a Democrat idiot. Pick any DFL politician, whether it's Tim Walz, Erin Murphy, Jamie Long or Aric Putnam. Though they'll deny it, they're socialists, too. They've spent your money just as willingly as Biden did. It isn't difficult to remember that Peggy Flanagan was cheering Tim Walz and the DFL Trifecta for throwing away an $18,000,000,000 surplus, then watching Walz and the DFL raise taxes and fees by another $10,000,000,000. Though it isn't theft...

Rex Newman's report from grassroots Minnesota

Image
Minnesota is fortunate to have engaged activists. We pride ourselves in making life better. Looking at the legislature, I'd put Speaker Demuth, Floor Leader Niska, Chairman Bakeberg and legislators like Walter Hudson and Bernie Perryman in being great legislators who are making Minnesota better. That being said, it's great having activists like Jeff Johnson and Rex Newman: Jeff is running for governor while Rex is covering some of the grassroots events. Here's Rex's report from Owatonna's gubernatorial forum: The Minnesota Steele County Republicans held a gubernatorial candidate forum at the Owatonna Country Club. The nine contenders were (as seated) Phillip Parrish, Jeff Johnson, Lisa Demuth, Brad Kohler, Scott Jensen, Kristin Robbins, Kendall Qualls, Phillip Knight, and John Krhin. It was very well run and attended this cold December 2 evening. The questioning comprised seven rounds, each starting with a candidate picked at random. Each answer was limited to t...

Minnesota's Medicaid fraud scandal goes national

Image
It's still hard to picture Minnesota being in the national news on virtually a daily basis. Still, that's exactly what's happening. The terrible news is that Minnesota's in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Writer Liz Peek nailed it when she wrote "The massive Somali-orchestrated welfare fraud in Minnesota grew so big, even The New York Times had to cover it ." Then she threw the knockout punch, saying "The takeaways are delicious: an indictment of sloppy Democrat-run Big Government, a repudiation of immigration policies that favor groups that decline to assimilate and that in some cases embrace anti-U.S. sentiment and exposing Governor Tim Walz for the lightweight he is. " That's gotta sting something fierce for Gov. Walz. That's just the first shot. Next is an article about House Oversight Committee Jamie Comer titled " Comer targets Walz in new House investigation, citing nearly $1B in alleged Minnesota fraud." It's worth...

Tim Walz's Somali/re-election crisis

Image
Monday afternoon, I contacted a frequent reader of this blog to see if my friend had tracked the activities of a Twitter account thought to be connected to people thought to be employed by Minnesota's Department of Human Services. He'd been tracking the account as closely as I had. When I asked him what he thought was going on, he said that one of 3 things was happening. The first possibility was that the DFL thought Walz was too weak to win so they tried to make Walz look utterly corrupt so they attempted to help him look bad by shutting down the account. Option 2 was that the DHS employees really had violated Twitter's rules and their account was legitimately suspended. Option 3 was that it was a combination of the first 2 options. This is just opinion but I think that Option 2 is most likely. That doesn't eliminate the possibility of the DFL not wanting Walz out of the competition. This NY Post article is interesting in that it highlights the employees' perspect...

Did Tim Walz silence DHS whistleblowers?

Image
According to Alpha News's reporting , "Employees with the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) continue to speak out on Gov. Tim Walz’s failure to take 'any accountability for his role in fraud.'" BREAKING: From Bill Glahn: I'm not kidding, my last conversation with @Minnesota_DHS they expressed a fear regarding retaliation. Now this.

I'm not accusing Tim Walz of getting this account shut down. In fact, I've heard 3-4 plausible possibilities as to what happened. Still, Tim Walz is capable of shutting accounts down. After all, he's the guy who instituted the COVID Snitch Line. It's time for the GOP to get fired up. The DFL isn't afraid to play hardball. We shouldn't be afraid of that either. Did Tim Walz attempt to retaliate against Hum...
