America 250, Newt Gingrich edition

Image
This weekend's Life, Liberty & Levin programs focused heavily on Declaration of Independence . Further, it focused on the difference between the American Revolution, which led to the most stable government for the past 250 years, and the French Revolution, which led to a destabilization of the French government. Finally, it featured experts like Newt Gingrich and Victor Davis Hanson teaching us about the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, Jonathan Turley and John Yoo spoke about the writing and debating of the Constitution. Each of these men talked about the men involved instarting and finishing the Revolutionary War, then finished by talking about the men who wrote, then debated, the Constitution. During his interview, Newt Gingrich explained that our Founding Fathers focused on virtue and building a resilient structure, not on partisan policies. In the interview, Gingrich said that each of us had a right from God to pursue happiness, "whic...

Where our rights come from

Image
Saturday night, Life Liberty & Levin host Mark Levin interviewed GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley to talk about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It's a timely intervview after Prof. Turley wrote this article about the Democrats' plan for packing the Supreme Court for his blog. Turley wrote "Democrats are renewing their calls to pack the Supreme Court with an instant liberal majority once they retake power. Rep. Seth Moulton (D., Mass.), who is facing a complaint over an alleged assault of a reporter, demanded the packing of the Court due to its decision to allow President Donald Trump to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Other members have joined the effort, citing the reversal of immigration decisions as the reason for eviscerating one of the most important institutions in our country." The first question that I'd pose to Democrats is who'd protect the American people's God-given right with such an ideologically-driven c...

Jacob Frey's upcoming civil trial

Image
According to this Alpha News article , "Hennepin County court has ordered Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to increase the number of city police officers to a legally-required minimum number. That order, which was issued Thursday, says Frey could face a civil trial if he fails to prove the city has 731 officers." Remember that this Jacob Frey is the same soft-on-crime mayor who thinks that criminal illegal aliens are "neighbors." This is the same soft-on-crime mayor that refused to testify at a grand jury investigation. While Frey refused to defund the police in 2020, he isn't a friend of the police. Frey's record shows that he isn't that worried about the safety of the people legally living here: Under the Minneapolis City Charter, the city is required to have 0.0017 sworn police officers on staff for every resident of the city. In the 2020 census, Minneapolis’ population was just below 430,000 people. As such, the city is required to employ 731 police offi...

How Tim Walz, Keith Ellison protected us from fraud

Image
When it comes to fighting fraud, nobody fights it like Tim Walz and Keith Ellison . This investigative report states "Minnesota Medicaid fraud: Claims against 7 providers date to 2020. Why were charges filed in 2026? Court records show fraud allegations against seven Minnesota providers date back years before charges were filed. The allegations are tied to a nationwide fraud operation involving hundreds of suspects and more than $6.5 billion. In Minnesota, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit said it built cases around seven providers accused of billing more than $700,000 for personal care work they either did not provide or were not licensed to provide. Charging documents against some of those seven providers say the alleged fraudulent activity dates back to 2020 , so 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS asked the state why charges weren’t filed until 2026." Predictably, the AG's office deployed the 'government shuffle'tactic to protect themselves: "Generally spe...

Is Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz a biased judge?

Image
I hate thinking that a federal judge might not be impartial in the administration and application of federal law, especially when it applies to issues of homeland security. Still, that's what I'm forced into considering now that U.S. District Court Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz has granted a "motion to quash" subpoenas that "were served Jan. 20 on the offices of Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, and the Hennepin and Ramsey County boards of commissioners." The reason I'm questioning Chief Judge Schiltz's ruling is because "Some reporters have highlighted Schiltz’s past donations to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, which provides free legal services to illegal immigrants." When there's smoke regarding illegal aliens, there's fire. That's like the judge that contributed to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, then ruled against Donald Trump. Why is a judge...

Is socialism the Democrats' death wish?

Image
Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders appear to have a socialist death wish for the Democrat Party. They're insisting on a full-scale socialist takeover of the Democrat Party. There's a question that the corporate media hasn't asked that's kinda like 'the Dog That Didn't Bark.' The media's coverage is long on who's up or down but it's been devoid of whether socialism works. I think the reason coverage is that way is because journalists know that socialism doesn't work. Imagine how difficult it'd be if journalists had to write that there's never been a thriving middle class in a socialist nation in the past 125 years anywhere in the world. The former Soviet Union didn't have a middle class, thriving or otherwise. China doesn't have a middle class. In 2025, the U.S. GDP was just short of 30,000,000,000,000. China's GDP was just over $18,000,000,000,000. They have the top 2 GDPs in the world. That's where the similarities en...

Why it's imperative to elect Bernie Perryman, not Aric Putnam

Image
This afternoon, I got into a nice phone call with Bernie Perryman, the legislator that I hope replaces Aric Putnam in the Minnesota State Senate for SD-14. I've known Bernie since 2010, when we both played unofficial roles in Michele Bachmann's congressional campaign. Minnesota's economy used to be vibrant, bristling with innovation and productivity. These days, thanks to a big influx of socialism, a high regulatory regime and high taxes, Minnesota's economy has stagnated. Thanks in large part to high property taxes caused by unfunded mandates to schools, Minnesota is one of the worst states in terms of affordability. Bernie is a small businessperson who knows how to get the economy running again. On her campaign website, Bernie wrote "As a small business owner, I know how hard it’s been for our Main Street businesses to survive and get their legs back under them after the pandemic. Inflation, supply chain and workforce challenges, and gas prices all are putting a...
