Monday night, Sue Ek and Zach Dorholt debated the major issues from the studios of KVSC on the St. Cloud State campus. One of the major topics discussed was education funding . Squarely put Dorholt in the more-money-status-quo category. According to the recap article, "Dorholt said Minnesota needs to make sure schools have enough money to serve students . Dorholt said, 'The state needs to set up and fund these mandates.' He said special education and English language services are example areas where schools can face additional costs. He also talked about housing instability among students. District 742 estimates that hundreds of families could experience housing instability this school year." These are separate issues. State government mandating specific programs force school districts to use money in specific ways rather than using money in ways that best help students. This leads to a one-size-fits-all system that fails students. Sue Ek, by comparison, "focuse...

Multiple TV stations are reporting on an active shooter situation in downtown Minneapolis. KSTP is reporting "A law enforcement source says at least one civilian is dead after at least six people, including two police officers, were shot in downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon amid an active shooter situation. One officer was shot in the stomach, and another was shot in the leg, a city hall source said. A source close to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS confirmed one officer is in surgery as of 5:39 p.m., adding the other officer received non-life-threatening injuries." Fox9 is reporting "There is at least one person killed and six injured, including two officers, after a shooting at an apartment in downtown Minneapolis. Their conditions are unknown. Stay with FOX 9 for more information as it becomes available." KARE11's report is different, saying that "Two person are dead and at least five others were injured in a sh ooting Wednesday afternoon in a mass shooti...

It's obvious that Alpha News is getting under the legacy media's skin, especially under the Minnesota Star Tribune's skin. Part of what's getting underneath these media outlets' skin is the fact that Alpha News is reporting on things that WCCO-TV and the Minnesota Star Tribune won't report on. For instance, Alpha News reported on a controversial art piece . Rather than report on the 'art', the Star Tribune and Bring Me the News "described Alpha News not as a news organization but as a “conservative website” — a label that tells readers less about the reporting than about the box they would prefer to keep Alpha News in." The irony is that the Star Tribune is part of the Twin Cities' DFL protection media. They didn't report on the 8647 story. Instead, they reported on the newspaper that reported the story. That's what you do when you're protecting the DFL. Frankly, Bring Me the News fits into the inconsequential category. Let'...

The minute the MNGOP started recruiting great candidates, GOP fundraising improved. This isn't that surprising. It's been that way forever. Now that the GOP has recruited their best set of statewide candidates since 2002, the DFL is getting worried . Dustin Grage's tweet captures the DFL's frame of mind perfectly: It’s honestly hilarious how enraged Minnesota Democrats are about billionaires getting involved and funding our campaigns. As if they haven’t had billionaires funding their campaigns at even higher levels for the last decade. They’re just upset that Minnesota Republicans… — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) August 31, 2026 This nails it: It’s honestly hilarious how enraged Minnesota Democrats are about billionaires getting involved and funding our campaigns. As if they haven’t had billionaires funding their campaigns at even higher levels for the last decade. The DFL is for protecting democracy -- as long as they're running the show. That isn't statesmanshi...

In a direct message from a friend of mine, I received a DM that said that the Fascist organization named Indivisible had set up camp in front of MNGOP booth at the State Fair. According to South Metro BPOU, Indivisible were wearing yellow T-Shirts while being a general annoyance. The goal was to dissuade Fair-goers from visiting the GOP booth. This BPOU put together this list of questions to ask Indivisible activists: Define woman for the crowd! What age should a child not be for chemical castration or gender change surgical procedures? Do you think it's fair to have car tabs double on the working poor while billions of dollars continue to go to fraud programs? Should Keith Ellison resign after getting caught on tape to cover up Somali fraud in exchange for campaign contributions and votes for him and his son on the Minneapolis City Council? Should abortion clinics have the same reporting, licensing and health safety inspections required of tattoo parlors? Would you pardon a child ...

Apparently, a significant portion of the DFL have turned into being perverts. Alpha News just reported that "State Rep. Pam Altendorf, R-Red Wing, recorded a video of Friday’s performance by POWER: Drag Revue, which appeared Aug. 27 and 28 as part of the State Fair’s official entertainment lineup." This didn't happen until tampon Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL pervert governor, went off the deep end with trans ideology. That, along with the Medicaid fraud, will be Gov. Walz's battling legacies. NEW at the @mnstatefair this year..…“family fun” options today included: DRAG SHOW DANCING ⁉️WHAT do you think about the kids in this video handing dollars to the Drag Performer…..!? pic.twitter.com/Amc1qosfiB — Rep. Pam Altendorf (@PamAltendorf) August 29, 2026 Altendorf told Alpha News she was particularly troubled by the lack of any age restrictions or warning for children who could encounter the performance while walking through the fairgrounds, including young 4-H partic...
