One Big Beautiful win

Image
Once upon a time, there was a tiny GOP majority. Each time a piece of legislation was mentioned, the pundits hinted that it might not happen because of the slim GOP majority. The pundits didn't mention the Democrats' intransigence towards good legislation. Pundits laughed at the thought of passing the Trump agenda in a single bill. Don't look now but Donald Trump's bill passed the eHouse early this morning . CNN, aka the ESPN of news reporting, is reporting "Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a major win for President Donald Trump early on Thursday morning, uniting a deeply divided House GOP to pass a bill that many of them were still pushing fiercely to change. House Republicans passed President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts package, marking a stunning victory for both Johnson and Trump after the bill appeared doomed just days earlier." All it took was the world's nicest guy (Speaker Johnson) and the world's best closer (Donald J. Trump, a...

High School players sue Keith Ellison, MSHSL

In what might be a first-in-the-nation lawsuit, Minnesota softball players have filed a lawsuit against the Minnesota State High School League, aka the MSHSL and Minnesota State Attorney General Keith Ellison. Alpha News is reporting that a "group of Minnesota high school softball players is suing Attorney General Keith Ellison and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL), alleging that the state’s transgender athlete policy violates federal law and harms female athletes." Alliance Defending Freedom's role Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a national legal organization, filed the federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of Female Athletes United (FAU), a group of Minnesota girls who say they have been forced to compete against a biologically male athlete in high school softball. The Lawsuit The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, claims the state’s current policy allowing males to compete in girls’ sports is discriminatory and violates Titl...

Proof that Tim Walz will say anything to get elected

Image
This past Saturday, Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, gave the commencement address at the University of Minnesota. During that address, Gov. Walz intentionally said something provocative . During his address, Walz said "Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets. They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons, no chance to mount a defense, not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye, just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared." Gov. Walz is a liar who'll say anything to win a vote. Fortunately we have an antidote to Gov. Walz's BS. His name is Bill Melugin and he's the best in the business at covewring border security. Check out this video of Melugin embedded with ICE in Boston: These ICE agents aren't wearing masks. If they were, their faces wouldn't need to be blurred. That makes Gov. Walz a world-class liar. The things he said in this commencement...

Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill passes another hurdle

Image
Each week, correspondents remind us that passing anything out of the House will be difficult because of the GOP's slim majority. Each week, it seems, Speaker Mike Johnson waves his magic wand, aka Donald Trump, and the bill passes. It's getting tiresosm (almost) to hear the pundits and correspondents explain away another Trump/Johnson victory. It'd be boring if not for the winning. This week, President Trump and Speaker Johnson tried a different trick .This week, the bill failed on Wednesday night but brought back to life on Sunday night. Mike Johnson is fortunate to have President Trump as his closer. He's the best closer in U.SS. history. On election night 2025, ABC made mention that Trump's movement wasn't just strong. It was enduring, too. It's lasted a decaade for a reason. Chip Roy issued a statement, saying "Tonight, after a great deal of work and engagement over the weekend, the Budget Committee advanced a reconciliation bill that lays the found...

DFL is fighting for illegal aliens, big spending

Image
The DFL is addicted to big spending and illegal aliens. This past week, the DDDFL has given Minnesota verified proof of their co-addictions. On Thursday morning, House and Senate leaders joined Gov. Tim Walz to announce that they'd reached agreement on this year's budget targets. By Thursday afternoon, the Twin Cities media were questioning whether the deal had already started to unravel. This article goes beyond the unraveling. FOX9 is reporting "Rep. Cedrick Frazier told reporters Saturday that democrats were working on a plan that would ensure undocumented individuals continue to receive healthcare. 'We’re talking to folks behind the scenes and we’re going to work things out, he said." Rumors are circulating that the DFL is thinking about splitting the bill into 2 bills. One bill would vote on MinnCare for adult illegal aliens. The other bill would force a vote on MinnCare for children. Let's be clear. The DFL is fighting harder for people here illegally ...

Is the DFL circular firing squad forming?

Image
Based on this article , it's looking more and more like the DFL is forming its tr4aditional circular firing squad. According to the article "The bipartisan budget compromise is on the verge of exploding as progressive Democrats say they won't support at least the provision kicking adult undocumented immigrants off MN Care. They rallied alongside clergy from several faiths Friday and heard stories from immigrant families who have lost loved ones because they lacked healthcare." This isn't putting the DFL in a position of strength. Quite the opposite, actually. The more the DFL progressives whine, the stronger the GOP's hand gets. I spoke to a longtime reader of my blogs who bolsteredthat belief. This reader told me on background that Erin Murphy, the Senate Majority Leader, was in tears. Another longtime reader of my blogs verified that Sen. Murphy might need more than 17 votes to pass the HHS bill. Further, I was told that the HHS Omnibus bill might turn int...

Catholics for lawbreaking, illegal immigration

Image
It isn't surprising that Bishop Kevin Kenney lobbied the legislature this week. He was joined by the Catholic Conference in lobbying for breaking the law. That sounds like a typical Democrat, doesn't it? In pushing for 'free' health care (I thought there was no such thing as a free lunch?) for illegal aliens, Bishop Kenney ignored Pope Leo XIV, who is for illegal immigration but who has also said that people need to obey the law. It's time the Catholic Church officially started obeying the entire Bible. It's difficult to picture a church selectively ignore parts of the Bible because it doesn't fit their political agenda. Bishop Kenney said "I’m here because of my love for the immigrant brothers and sisters and (because) we need to continue to reach out and walk with them and help them. We need to be able to offer health care to anyone who is here, no matter how they got here , who let them in. Are we going to let them die on the streets? Are we gonna ...
