Back in mid-January, I asked if Minnesota was experiencing a populist uprising after reading about a group of mayors, led by Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst, wrote a letter to Gov. Walz and the legislature. Mostly, though, it was aimed at the DFL's Trifecta. This weekend, I wrote this article about Title IX MN's activism on behalf of changing the MSHSL's consatitution and bylaws to ban boys from participating in girl's sports. For conservatives, those are virtual uprisings. The question now is whether GOP politicians will take up these fights on behalf of their constituents. If GOP candidates take up these populist agendas, GOP turnout might be better than anticipated. Motivate populists to turn out by actually adopting their agenda and they'll turn out. If Republicans are smart for a change and actually listen to people with real problems, then follow the listening up with providing solutions, the sky's the limit. This lletter, signed by 261 mayors now, go...

When Mike Lindell proposed amnesty for illegal aliens , he set off a firestorm for the ages. The question quickly turned to why Lindell put the issue on his priority list in the first place. Congress, not governors, set immigration and naturalization policy.This issue isn't in the top 50 of issues for Minnesota's future. I just visited Lindell's campaign website platform page . Let's just say that he's cpompertitive with Sen. Klobuchar in talking in platitudes while saying nothing. For instance, on the subject of "Jobs and Minnesota's Economy," he wrote "Mike Lindell knows the economy runs on real people—Moms juggling schedules, business owners signing paychecks, professors shaping the next generation, urban church leaders holding communities together, young workers chasing a first big opportunity, and farmers betting everything on the next season. He built a national brand from a Minnesota factory floor, so when he sees bureaucracy slowing everyt...

I'm a happy camper after reading this Alpha News article about a grassroots organization titled Title IX MN. According to the Alpha News article, "A new grassroots campaign is encouraging schools and local communities to come together and change Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) policy that currently allows boys to participate in female sporting events. The campaign, dubbed Make It Fair MN, is organized by Title IX MN, an organization named after the federal law which mandates that women and girls must be given equal access to educational opportunities and extracurricular sporting activities." I love this! This isn't astroturfed activism with tons of Soros dark money funding the rent-a-mob 'activists'. These are moms and dads, aunts and uncles and grandparents showing the powers-that-be where the real power lies. HISTORY AS IT'S GETTING MADE According to the article, " Title IX MN was informally launched last year as a group of more than 3...

I wish I could trust Mike Lindell but that's impossible now for multiple reasons. Initially, in this Alpha News article , Lindell is quoted as saying "Now, you’re not a citizen. You can’t vote, but you have this card that now you can work and you can go be paying taxes, be functioning in society." Alpha reported "According to the Washington Examiner, Lindell’s plan would only give visas to illegal aliens without criminal records. He said illegal aliens would be fingerprinted when they receive the conditional work visas." After watching this video , though, I have difficulty trusting Lindell. This tweet says it perfectly. It says "Just that takes him off my candidate list. I don't care if Trump endorsed him." To me, the video is the thing that finishes Lindell's campaign. Here's the video: 🚨 BREAKING: Minnesota Republican governor candidate Mike Lindell is facing criticism after the Washington Examiner reported that he supports "six-...

Apparently, Keith Ellison isn't worried that socialism and communism are taking over the Democrat Party . Ellison said that people are more worried about the cost of groceries, gas or other commodity. He's right that people are worried those things. Ellison's wrong, though, in saying that people aren't worried about a lower quality of life and a major loss of freedom. What a lying sack of dirt! When the Democrat Socialists of America, aka DSA, impose strict rent controls, take over the means of production of major industries, does Ellison think that the price of groceries will stay stable? The price might stay stable but will the cost stay stable? The price might stay stable but the cost won't stay stable. The price to consumers might stay stable through subsidies, etc. but the cost will jump the minute the government takes control of production because productivity will drop when the government takes control. It has to because the incentives change significantly...

After reading this Washington Examiner article , I'm not certain that Mike Lindell, the purveyor of MyPillow, is a Republican. If he is, he's a John McCain Gang of Eight type of Republican, not a movement conservative like Ted Cruz. I've vooted before for candidates who weren't movement conservatives up and down the ticket in Minnesota. I'll enthusiastically vote for Michelle Tafoya for U.S. Senate in the primary and in the general election if she wins the primary, which I think she will. Donald Trump's endorserment of Mike Lindell isn't because Lindell is a conztitutional conservative. Based on the article, I don't think he knows the Constitution. In the article, he's quoted as saying I’d like the whole United States to do this, but let’s say I did it here in Minnesota. Six months, all the illegal immigrants would have to go get what’s going to be called a conditional work visa." First, governors aren't supposed to be involved in setting i...
