I had to do a doublecheck when I read Ed Morrissey's article for HotAir . Next, I'm stepping outside to see if any pigs are flying in V-formation over the house. That's how strange Ed's article is to a lifelong Minnesotan. Ed wrote " Inject this directly into my veins. If it’s true, that is. I wonder whether Democrats relied on Wedgewood Polling for Minnesota’s Senate race. Perhaps they just relied on the last twenty years of electoral history to conclude that they didn’t need ad space in the last two weeks before the election. Regardless of the reason, it appears that Senate Democrats have decided to let Peggy Flanagan fly solo against GOP nominee Michele Tafoya, but the NRSC has decided to double down on the Senate race (via Twitchy): 🚨 BREAKING: The NRSC just dropped ad reservations for Michele Tafoya in Minnesota. Last week, I said this was coming with @LarryOConnor and @townhallcom. There are currently no ad reservations placed by the DSCC for Peggy Flana...

Initially, I thought about whether the DFL had become the Antisemitic Party after reading this Alpha News article . After a little thinking, though, I decided that this article isn't worthy of a question mark. That subject is settled. The topic discussed in the article is "an upcoming Minneapolis event featuring Rep. Ilhan Omar, state Sen. Omar Fateh and controversial left-wing streamer Hasan Piker." According to Alpha News, "Minnesota Democrats are facing growing backlash over an upcoming Minneapolis event featuring Rep. Ilhan Omar, state Sen. Omar Fateh and controversial left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, whose inflammatory statements about Jews and Israel — and his declaration that “America deserved 9/11” — have drawn condemnation from Jewish organizations and some members of the Democratic Party itself. Now, one of Minnesota’s leading Jewish organizations is calling out not only the lawmakers participating in the event, but also fellow Democrats who have remained si...

Amy Klobuchar has a growing credibility deficit. Unfortunately for Minnesota's voters, Minnesota's Protection Media refuses to highlight Klobuchar's dishonesty. Thankfully, Alpha News filed this report on Klobuchar's dishonesty. Luke Sprinkel wrote "Most notable from Klobuchar’s debate remarks was her repeated embrace of many ideas that are right-leaning and out of step with much of her party. For example, Klobuchar said she would not raise taxes as governor and would instead like to lower taxes." Just last year, Klobuchar voted to shut the government down on Sept. 30,2025 by voting against a clean CR, which would have kept spending at FY2025 levels. The FY2025 budget was the final Biden budget. Saying that she wouldn't raise taxes is like an arsonist promising not to light the match that's in his hand. After shutting down the government, she voted repeatedly to KEEP GOVERNMENT CLOSED more than 2 dozen times in the next 6 months. She won't keep g...

Other than Bill Clinton's welfare reform. Democrats have been the party of the failed status quo. Internationally, Democrats have been the advocates for detente with the USSR and the 2-state solution with the Palestinians. President Reagan finished detente with the USSR when he answered a reporter's question on his strategy towards the Soviets. He replied "Here's my strategy on the Cold War: we win, they lose." ― Ronald Reagan, U.S.S.R.-U.S.A. Summit, Moscow, May 29-June 2, 1988. The Democrats' policy towards the Palestinian-Israeli dispute is to force Israelis to live side-by-side with Palestinians. In their charter, Palestinians vow to ELIMINATE the Jewish people. That's the definition of a suicidal policy. Why would Israel trust Democrats as allies? Here in Minnesota, Esme Murphy interviewed Michele Tafoya, asking Michele Tafoya one gotcha question after another: That's fine. Michele has handled those types of questions for 30 years. When Murphy ...

Appearing Saturday on Fox Reports With Jon Scott, Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha said "Every poll that has been released before this debate has shown a dead heat. And by every objective measure, Michele Tafoya wiped the floor with Peggy Flanagan during that debate earlier this week. You saw her on the defensive there." Don't take Joe Concha's word for it. Watch this hour-long debate for yourself: Time-after-time, Flanagan dragged President Trump into the debate. Meanwhile, when fraud became the topic of debate, Flanagan said that "The governor has been very clear that 'the buck stops with him.' He was the one who had oversight here." Instead of taking the blame for fraud, she took credit for Paid Family Medical Leave and free breakfasts and lunches for children. Paid Family Medical Leave isn't popular with small businesses. Free meals are fairly popullar but they won't improve turnout for the DFL. Concha said Flanagan was deflectin...

The DFL has whined about how President Trump has driven up utility prices with his "war of choice" with Iran. What's aggravating is that utility prices have risen since late in Obama's term in office when he startedd the original war on fossil fuels. Gov. Walz and the DFL extended that war when the DFL Trifecta passed the Blackout Bill early in the 2023 session. This KSTP report doesn't explain why prices are rising. It reports "Minnesota regulators are gathering public input as they investigate whether utility bills are still affordable for families, farmers, and businesses. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission launched the review through three public meetings, where Minnesotans weighed in on rising energy costs. The commission will send the feedback and written public comments to state lawmakers." The affordability crisis was caused by the DFL Trifecta. Period. The DFL's affordability campaign is a joke. In fact, it isn't that funny of a ...
