Crosslake, MN: Home of Grassroots PATRIOTISM

Image
Most adults have used the term grassroots activism. It's been around since I was a teenager. Tomorrow, I'll turn 70. The point is that the phrase is old as dirt. A new phrase appears appropriate as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence . The phrase that needs coining is 'grassroots PATRIOTISM '. Thanks to this Alpha News article , we've learned that "The City of Crosslake is displaying more than 500 American flags to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. The initiative, dubbed “Crosslake Freedom Flags,” will line city streets with the Stars and Stripes." Thanks to Alpha News' reporting, we've learned that "What began as a vision to celebrate freedom, honor our nation’s heritage, and recognize those who have served has grown into one of the largest patriotic community displays in the region." Further, we learn that "According to the city, Crosslake Freedom Flag...

Why did Tim Walz pardon a child rapist?

Image
A can't imagine why Tim Walz pardoned a child rapist . What type of evil monster is he? Is he that committed to letting criminal illegal aliens live in Minnesota? Further, I'd like to know why Sen. Klobuchar didn't criticize Gov. Walz's pardon before it happened? She sat idly by while Gov. Walz pardoned a violent criminal illegal alien. Is she committed to the DFL's sanctuary policies or is she committed to keeping Minneapolis safe? This isn't a situation where you can have it both ways. If Gov. Walz resigned today, effective today, it wouldn't be soon enough. He's the definition of a dirtbag politician. Before he dropped out, he used to lie to Minnesotans, telling them that Minnesota was the third best state in the nation to raise a child. With him pardoning criminal illegal alien rapists, that rating can't be taken seriously. It must be taken as fictional, not realistic. How can you keep kids safe when you're pardoning people who think it's...

Tim Walz, DFL criticize Supreme Court's West Virginia v. B.P.J. ruling

Image
For months, Democrats have insisted that biological males have earned the same Title IX protections as teenage girls. That foolishness got cruhed with the Supreme Court's ruling in the West Virginia v. B.P.J. lawsuit . In his majority opinion, Justice Kavanaugh wrote "consistent with Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, we hold that the States may maintain women's and girls sports for biological females. They may determine eligibility for women's and girls' sports based on biological sex . The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women's and girls' sports throughout America." In other words, science is the determiner for who is eligible for participating in girls' and women's sports. Being the personiification of manlihood that he is, DFL Gov. Tim Walz said "As the Supreme Court says states can be cruel to trans kids, my message is clear: Here in Minnesota, we stand with and value our trans neighbors and youth....

Socialism: the festering heap that won't go away

Image
Socialism is the festering heap of broken promises and terrible policies that simply won't disappear. Just think of Zohran Mamdani's lengthy list of broken promises . The NY Post writes "Many of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s lofty campaign promises have already bitten the dust 100 days in, as he makes a U-turn or scales them back almost beyond recognition. His improbable path from Democratic socialist also-ran to victory in 2025’s election came in no small part from the sweeping, voter-pleasing pledges." Mamdani lied his way to Gracie Mansion. It wasn't a matter of him fudging a little bit on 'promises from the periphery', either. The governmemt-run grocery stores were and are a fiction. Fast, free trains were mythical at best. Free day-care didn't stand a shot at becoming reality. The truth is that Mayor Mamdani is breathing lie factory . Some of Mamdani's promises were unaffordable from the start. The promise that he'd pay for these 'benefits...

Amy Klobuchar's, Keith Ellison's hot mess

Image
Amy Klobuchar and Keith Ellison just got a hot mess dropped in their laps. This morning, as expected, the Supreme Court handed down its opinion on biological males participating in female sports . CBS is reporting "In two of the most closely watched cases of its term, the Supreme Court upheld laws from West Virginia and Idaho that restrict transgender athletes' participation in school sports. The cases are known as West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox." Though the ruling only covered the 27 states that've banned biological males from participating in female sports, it's widely believed that additional lawsuits will get filed to finish what these lawsuits started. Additional lawsuits will automatically require them to challenge the 23 states' so-called transgender laws that let biological males to compete against biological females. One of those 23 states is Minnesota. That means that candidates for AG and governor should be required to answer whether th...

Josh Shapiro finishes his 2028 presidential ambitions

Image
Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania's Democrat governor, just made a foolish move , according to Salena Zito, the pre-eminent political reporter in the U.S. According to Ms. Zito, "Two days ago, Beth Ann Bossio woke up to the news that Pennsylvania would not have a booth at the Great American State Fair, the Fourth of July celebration underway on the National Mall in Washington." The article continues, saying "The decision was made by Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), who told the New Republic he would not send a delegation to the fair in honor of America 250 after his administration said it canvassed opinions among Pennsylvania businesses and told the reporter, 'None of them were interested.'" Shapiro might've been ok had that be the only thing he'd said. Unfortunately for Gov. Shapiro, he also said "their disinterest 'reflects the sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in that the president politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want t...

Minneapolis 2026: Murderapolis 2.0?

Image
There's a class of people that are loving what's happening in Minneapolis. After reading this Alpha News article , I'm certain that those people are classified as criminals or felons. The article opens by saying "Another violent weekend in Minneapolis left two people dead and several injured in at least ten shootings across the city during Pride weekend." Minneapolis could get mistaken for Chicago on weekends like last weekend. The article continues, saying "The violence began with a homicide early Friday morning on the 2500 block of Clinton Avenue. Police responded about 12:45 a.m. to reports of gunfire and found a man gravely injured, who later died at the scene. In a statement, police said they found evidence of gunfire in the area." Mayor Jacob Frey has failed Minneapolis. The sad thing is that other potential mayoral candidates are just as bad or they're worse. Saturday shootings At 12:30 a.m. Saturday, police found a male shot near Mortimer’s b...
