It's clear that Michele Tafoya is THE RISING STAR in the Republican Party of Minnesota. Further, it's obvious that it won't take long for Tafoya to overtake Sen. Klobuchar as THE STAR in Minnesota politics. According to this article , "Tony Dungy is backing Michele Tafoya in Minnesota’s Senate race, but he has no plans to enter politics himself. Less than two weeks after telling Sage Steele, 'I don’t think there’s a chance. But never say never,' Dungy’s endorsement became part of Tafoya’s campaign as the November 3 election approaches." According to this tweet , Michele Tafoya said "Tony Dungy is a man of integrity I’ve known for over 30 years, a Hall of Fame coach and Super Bowl champion who got his start right here in Minnesota. I’m honored to have him on our team in this election. Join our team next Tuesday, November 3rd, and let’s bring hope back to Minnesota!" Most endorsements don't get noticed. Either that or they have little effect....

People that didn't think that the Hasan Piker-Ilhan Omar-Omar Fateh get together would be a festival of hating the U.S.A. must've been braindead or worse. This Alpha News article captures the highlights (lowlights?) of the event. Alpha reports that "Piker accused Republicans of being 'terrorists' who are 'terrorizing our neighborhoods,' calling them 'the most un-American force in this country.'" That's pretty rich coming from a guy who was born in New Jersey but who grew up in Turkey, specifically in Istanbul and Ankara. What would he know about being an American? Further, he shared the stage with Ilhan Omar, aka Ilhan Nur Said Elmi and State Sen. Omar Fateh, a pair of Somali politicians who hate the U.S.A. Alpha also reported that the DFL is badly divided, saying "Piker’s own history of inflammatory remarks — including that he would choose Hamas over Israel “every single time” and referred to Orthodox Jews as “inbred” — had already ...

Amy Klobuchar has another credibility problem. Two weeks ago, Sen. Klobuchar filmed this campaign ad in which she said "When I ran the state's largest prosecutor's office, we went after violent crime, fraud and corruption. We even put a powerful judge behind bars because he broke the law. I did my job without fear or favor." That was the Amy Klobuchar of 20+ years ago. Today's Sen. Klobuchar is significantly different. Today's Amy Klobuchar treads lightly when Education Minnesota ISSUES ITS DEMANDS ! Tim Walz is a slave to EdMinn. That's why it isn't surprising that Walz "said he will not enroll Minnesota in a federal program that could provide hundreds of millions of dollars to Minnesota students." Equally unsurprising is the fact that "Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the DFL's nominee for governor, has not said where she stands on the issue." TRANSLATION: Amy won't announce her allegiance to EdMinn until after the election . Once ...

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...
