Dan Wolgamott is playing hooky

Image
Earlier this week, DFL Minority Leader Melissa Hortman instructed DFL House-Elect members to stop doing the people's work. Like a dutiful minion, Rep.-Elect Wolgamott has obeyed Ms. Hortman. Instead of showing up for work and getting sworn in, Rep.-Elect Wolgamott has sent out a daily update explaining how he's earning his salary and per diem. On Tuesday. Wolgamott posted this update . In his update, Wolgamott told his constituents "I want to send you a quick note to let you know that our House DFL and GOP leadership teams met past midnight last night, and are currently meeting, to negotiate a bipartisan power sharing agreement that reflects and protects the will of the voters." That's an outright lie. Over the weekend, Melissa Hortman announced that the DFL planned to not attend without a power-sharing agreeement in place. Speaker Demuth said that the GOP majority would be in session. There was a 67-67 tie in the House until the judge ruled that the DFL candidat...

The has-been, aka Barack Obama, thanks Biden for his service

Image
It isn't often that a presidential has-been speaks to praise a different presidential has-been. That's what Barack Obama did in this tweet . As is his habit, President Obama started by piling the BS on high and dry, saying "Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did." First, let's start with some truths to disinfect Presideent Obama's disinformation. If Joe Biden is a leader with character, then I'm the pope. Joe Biden, lest anyone forget, is a grifter who used his vice presidential position to enrich his family for multiple years. Anyone thinking that he's a leader with character is kidding themselves. Next, President Obama insisted "At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation ...

Dispirited Democrats definitely defeated

Image
Democrats involved in the confirmation process must be feeling dispirited, demoralized and defeated. Why wouldn't they feel that way? Democrats have relied on Crazy Mazie Hirono, Adam Schiff, Tammy Duckworth and other creatures from the fever swamps to take down Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi and John Ratcliffe. While Democrats have constantly been on the attack, President-Elect Trump's nominees have picked their spots to defend themselves. Mostly, they've stood their ground. These Democrats are intellectual midgets compared with President-Elect Trump's nominees. President-Elect Trump's nominees, collectively, are telegenic, fast on their feet and this nation's best-and-brightest. At this point, I'm comfortable predicting that the Senate will confirm all of President-Elect Trump's cabinet secretary nominees. For instance, this Dailywire article speaks glowingly of Pete Hegseth. In the article, Ben Shapiro wrote "Democrats thought they were going to be abl...

The DFL thinks it writes the law as it goes UPDATED

Image
After the DFL's illegitimate 'swearing in stunt', it's apparent that the DFL thinks that whatever it does is the law. Steve Simon, Minnesota's partisan DFL Secretary of State, gaveled the House into session. After that, "Chief Judge of Appeals Jennifer Frisch administered the oath of office to those members who remained in their assigned places on the House floor. Simon then—as he had promised he would do last week—administered a roll call and declared that the 67 members in the chamber did not constitute a quorum. He then proceeded to pound his gavel and declared the day’s floor session adjourned." That's when the fireworks started. Rep. Harry Niska made a motion to object to Simon’s declaration that there was no quorum . Rep. Niska said "You do not have authority over the House of Representatives. Minnesota law requires the members of the House of Representatives to meet at noon on Tuesday in the House chamber. As you can see, the DFL Caucus has...

Confirming Pete Hegseth

Image
 Pete Hegseth had a pretty good day Tuesday. Although he had to tolerate Senate Democrats' accusations that he wasn't qualified, Hegseth kept his composure while showing more than enough gravitas to justify his confirmation. Early in Tuesday's confirmation hearing, Hegseth got great news when Joni Ernst announced that she'll vote to confirm Hegseth .That means the worst Hegseth will do in the Senate Armed Services Comittee is win on a straight party line vote. That all-but-officially confirms Hegseth as the next U.S. Secretary of Defense. ABC is reporting that "Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said Tuesday she is supporting Pete Hegseth’s nomination to serve as secretary of defense after President-elect Donald Trump's nominee faced a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing. In an interview with Iowa radio station WHO, Ernst said, 'Yes, I will be supporting President Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.'" Sen. Ernst was seen as a potenti...

Documenting Pete Hegseth's leadership talent

Image
There's little doubt that Democrats will attack Pete Hegseth's ability to lead the U.S. military whenever these Democrats have the opportunity. I suspect that they'll even invent some opportunities in their attempt to scuttle Hegseth's nomination. The thing these Democrats won't have as ammunition are Hegseth's sterling performance reviews from the battlefield . Imagine how upset Democrats will be when it's read into the record that "Hegseth deployed with the New Jersey National Guard to Guantánamo Bay, where he was leader of a 39-man Air Assault Infantry Rifle platoon capable of deploying anywhere within the world within 36 hours." That sounds like someone fit to command, doesn't it? Imagine the Democrats' reaction when it's read into the record that "In an officer evaluation report covering April 2005 to January 2006, Hegseth received 'outstanding performance' and was described as 'an incredibly talented, battle-prove...

Ron DeSantis vs. Gavin Newsom, leadership edition

Image
It isn't surprising that California Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting tons of attention for all the wrong reasons. It isn't surprising because Gov. Newsom, a leading presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2028, at least in his mind, has just disqualified himself from serious consideration for the nomination. Lying to Rachel Darvish, the mother whose child had just lost her school in the L.A. wildfires, finished Gov. Newsom's opportunity for the Democrats' presidential nomination. Saying that Darvish's video has gone viral is as controversial as saying Elon Musk is rich. That's right. Neither statement is controversial. Ms. Darvish just exposed Gov. Newsom as a bald-faced liar who didn't flinch in lying to her. Gov. Newsom lied because he didn't take his job seriously. Everyone knows that California is prone to wildfires, sometimes including Santa Ana winds. A good manager would train his people so that his people would be prepared to handle whatever sit...
