The DFL's affordability hoax

Image
Anyone that thinks that DFL politicians, especially Sen. Klobuchar and Lt. Gov. Flanagan, are doing their utmost to positively affect Minnesotans' affordability hasn't paid an electric bill or renewed their license tab fees or paid their property taxes lately. Lisa Demuth is paying attention to what I'm calling 'the DFL's affordability hoax.' Speaker Demuth, hopefully soon Gov. Demuth, wrote "Minnesotans pay too much in electricity costs under Democrats’ 2040 mandates. I was proud to lead with my House Republican colleagues in taking the first meaningful steps in decades toward ending the nuclear moratorium. Amy Klobuchar is afraid to tell Minnesotans where she really stands. Let me be clear: finishing what we started and ending that moratorium will be a top priority when I’m Governor." Why the DFL opposes cheap, clean electricity is incomprehensible . There shouldn't have been a nuclear moratorium to start with. This is the most important point: ...

Abdul el-Sayed, Hasan Piker vs. Todd Beamer

Image
It's a well-documented fact that Hasan Piker thinks that America deserved 9/11: Hasan Piker is a blithering idiot. What is his evidence that the U.S. did anything to provoke the greatest terrorist attack in U.S. history? According to this article , the father of the leader of the people who prevented the fourth terrorist attack said "Those 43 people on Flight 93 were not victims. They were killed in action,' David Beamer says in the ad. 'When I hear anyone suggest America deserved 9/11, my question is, who would say that?'" Hasan Piker isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, either. It's stunning that someone with that little gravitas can be that influential to Democrats. The ad shows a video of Mr. Piker, a popular left-wing streamer, declaring, “America deserved 9/11, dude. I’m saying it,” and claiming America is worse than al Qaeda because “we’ve caused tremendous terror all around the world." ...

Peggy Flanagan's defensiveness raises questions

Image
Next Friday, on Oct.2, KSTP-TV is hosting a trio of debates between the GOP and DFL gubernatorial nominees, the GOP and DFL nominees for the U.S. Senate and the GOP and DFL nominees for Minnesota's Attorney General. Thus far, Amy Klobuchar has accepted KSTP's invitation. Michele tweeted that she's accepted the invitations for the MPR radio debate and the televised KSTP-TV debates . Peggy Flanagan has accepted MPR's invitation. To date, Lt. Gov. Flanagan HASN'T ACCEPTED KSTP's invitatation: Minnesotans deserve to hear from the candidates running to represent our state. I am looking forward to next Friday’s televised debate. Peggy Flanagan should join me on the KSTP stage and let voters hear from both of us directly. pic.twitter.com/bZgisWo0gF — Michele Tafoya (@Michele_Tafoya) September 24, 2026 In 2022, Gov. Walz didn't do any televised debates. He did the FarmFest debate with Dr. Scott Jensen right before that year's State Fair and got pulverized. Tha...

Will Peggy Flanagan continue representing fraudsters?

Image
You can tell quite a bit by the company you keep. In Peggy Flanagan's case, it can be a disqualifier for office. Alpha News reports "As Minnesota’s Department of Human Services struggles to contain a sweeping fraud crisis involving taxpayer-funded programs, one of the state’s top Medicaid officials has another undertaking on his calendar: helping raise campaign cash for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. Dr. Nathan Chomilo serves as medical director for Minnesota’s Medicaid and MinnesotaCare programs, which are now under intense state and federal oversight amid a multibillion-dollar fraud crisis that has unfolded during the Walz-Flanagan administration." According to the article, "on Oct. 1, the money on Chomilo’s agenda won’t be Medicaid dollars. It will be campaign cash for Flanagan. Chomilo is listed as one of six hosts of the Oct. 1 Minneapolis fundraiser for Flanagan’s U.S. Senate campaign." Why shouldn't people of all political persuasions think that this isn...

Amy Klobuchar fights for affordable health care?

Image
According to this Klobuchar tweet , "The next governor must stand up to the White House and stand up for affordable and accessible health care when Minnesotans need it." That made me sick until I read Dustin Grage's reply in the commenmts. He replied "Minnesota had the #1 healthcare program in the country before you voted to destroy it, Amy." This reply nailed Klobuchar HARD: Amy, you totally disregard the mental (and physical) health of girls who have to endure boys invading their sports (cf. the Champlin Park Coeds' "girls" softball championship in 2025). It's an 80-20% issue with Americans, and you're proudly on the wrong side." Now's the time to admit that Amy Klobuchar's popularity isn't earned. It's part of the 'Klobuchar Hustle.' In the Senate, she'd disappear after each election for the next 5 years. When re-election year appeared, 'Everywhere Amy' would appear. Let's stipulate that Sen...

Spineless Amy Klobuchar stays silent on boys in girls' sports

Image
When I first heard about the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on boys participating in girls' sports, I thought that Sen. Klobuchar would miss the hearing entirely. iwas wrong, though I got it mostly right. This FNC article reports "For most of Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on protecting women's sports, not a single Democratic senator was in attendance. The only two Democrats to show up at all were ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. Both of them left within the first hour of the hearing and Klobuchar never spoke. The Democrats also did not host a single witness for the hearing." Let's simplify this to the maximum. Sen. Klobuchar HAD TO SHOW UP ! If she didn't, the headlines on Alpha News and Minnesota's conservative blogosphere and Hugh Hewitt's radio program would've reached every square inch of Minnesota. By making a token appearance at the hearing, Sen. Klobuchar hopes that it...

The DFL's latest problem: Ellison vs. Schutz, Jensen vs. Filipovich, Cash on Hand edition

Image
As if the DFL didn't have enough difficulties already, ther DFL just added another . According to the latest Cash on Hand (CoH) report, the DFL is experiencing fundraising/CoH difficulties. The article reports that "Republican candidates for Minnesota attorney general and state auditor lead their Democrat opponents in campaign cash on hand with just weeks to go before the November election. According to newly-filed campaign finance reports, Republican attorney general nominee Ron Schutz had $1.02 million in cash on hand as of Sept. 15. In total, Schutz began this year with $230,365, raised $1.08 million since January, and has spent $297,792 this year." Meanwhile: Meanwhile, DFL Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is seeking a third term, had $634,505 in cash on hand as of Sept. 15. In total, Ellison began 2026 with $274,601, raised nearly $1.3 million during 2026, and has spent $940,089 this year. In the race for Minnesota state auditor, Republican nominee Scott Jensen ha...
