Peggy Flanagan is a laughingstock!

Image
Peggy Flanagan has had a difficult week on the campaign trail. I'm betting that she's thinking that it can't end soon enough. Let's put it this way. I'd want it over ASAP if my opponent dropped this ad on Friday: NEW 📺 AD: We teach our kids that bad behavior has consequences, but somehow politicians think the same rules don’t apply to them. Peggy Flanagan ignored warning signs while fraudsters stole our tax dollars. She has spent eight years as lieutenant governor in the Walz… pic.twitter.com/utZpS40XRe — Michele Tafoya (@Michele_Tafoya) September 18, 2026 This is the text of the tweet: We teach our kids that bad behavior has consequences, but somehow politicians think the same rules don’t apply to them. Peggy Flanagan ignored warning signs while fraudsters stole our tax dollars. She has spent eight years as lieutenant governor in the Walz administration, yet now wants Minnesotans to believe she had nothing to do with its failures. We cannot allow her in the U.S....

DFL's Minnesota's Values Project attacked Sue Ek

Image
Thursday afternoon, while I was watching America Reports when an attack ad against Sue Ek. The ad said "Sue Ek is running on a platform that calls for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations which could drive up local taxes and costs for working families. Her party platform also calls for creating massive new sales taxes on everything we buy, including groceries, clothing, and prescription drugs. Their new sales taxes would be used to cut taxes for the wealthy and big corporations, shifting the burden to the rest of us." I'm calling BS on the Minnesota Values Project. They're the dirtbags that paid for this ad. I'm not just calling BS on the Minnesota Values Project. I'm highlighting the difference between what they said and what Sue Ek is running on for issues. Economy, Business Climate & Affordability for Minnesotans "A strong economy starts with local businesses and hardworking people. I support creating an environment where small bu...

Keith Ellison's re-election is in trouble

Image
I'm skeptical of media polls but this KSTP/SurveyUSA poll seems more believable than last month's poll. Last month's poll didn't sample likely voters and it had a Margin of Error of 5.6%. This poll sampled 654 Likely voters, which led to a 4.4% MoE. The other noteworthy news from the poll shows Minnesota GOP Attorney General candidate Ron Schutz taking the lead against DFL State Attorney General Keith Ellison. Carleton College Professor Emeritus Steven Schier offers this perspective: Of all the statewide races, the MN AG race seems most impacted by the fraud issue, followed by the MN Auditor's race. Townhall.com journalist Dustin Grage offers this perspective on the MN AG race: 🚨 BREAKING: Ron Schutz (R) is now LEADING Keith Ellison (D) in the Minnesota Attorney Generals race. 🟥 Ron Schutz: 45% 🟦 Keith Ellison: 43% Undecided: 12% Keith Ellison has nearly 100% name ID and is completely underwater. I’m told additional ad buys are coming to this race… pic.twitter....

Lisa Demuth, Michele Tafoya are running smart, aggressive campaigns

Image
I'm thrilled to see Michele Tafoya and Lisa Demuth running such smart, aggressive campaigns against Peggy Fraudigan Flanagan and Amy Klobuchar, respectively. Just to show you how aggressive of races they're running, check out Lisa Demuth's tweet showing how aggressive she's getting. In the tweet, she said "One year ago today, Tim Walz announced his (soon to be failed) run for a third term. That day, Amy Klobuchar praised Walz as an 'incredible leader' who 'delivered' for Minnesota. Apparently, Klobuchar thinks record breaking fraud, high taxes, and falling school rankings makes Walz’s policies 'incredible.'" Apparently, Sen. Klobuchar believes in grade inflation. She'd better hope that Minnesotans are generous graders. Personally, I hope they're like the nuns I had as teachers in grade and high school. If she 'gets' the grades she's EARNED , she won't become governor. Minnesotans, DON'T give her a promotio...

Amy Klobuchar's bad habit of saying nothing

Image
Ed Morrissey's article for HotAir opens by saying " I want to believe. I don't ... but I truly want to believe." Ed then continues by saying "A Republican hasn't won a statewide election since Tim Pawlenty's reelection as governor in 2006. No Republican has come very close to winning statewide in Minnesota since then, either. Republicans dodged a credibility bullet in Mike Lindell's overwhelming defeat in their gubernatorial primary, which produced one of their strongest overall tickets in years. Michele Tafoya's nomination for the Senate put the state elections on the national map, and the DFL's nomination of the more radical Peggy Flanagan as her opponent at least gave an opportunity to make things ... interesting." I'd like to politely correct Ed on the Mike Lindell defeat. The GOP didn't dodge "a credibility bullet in Mike Lindell's overwhelming defeat in their gubernatorial primary." After Lindell proposed an ...

Amy Klobuchar vs. Lisa Demuth polling

Image
While it's difficult to tell how close of a race the Lisa Demuth vs. Amy Klobuchar gubernatorial race is in Minnesota is, we know some things are already true. For instance, we know that Lisa Demuth is a top-tier candidate with the financial support to give Sen. Klobuchar a legitimate fight. Next, we know that Speaker Demuth's education plan is superior to Sen. Klobuchar's excuse for a plan to improve education outcomes. Third, Lisa Demuth isn't taking any grief from Sen. Klobuchar. When Klobuchar puts out an ad that's filled with platitudes and cliches, Speaker Demuth has hit back with subsatantive proposals and ads that question Sen. Klobuchar's abilities to lead. I think it's starting to hit home: New - Minnesota Governor poll 🔵 Klobuchar 47% 🔴 Demuth 45% co/efficient - LV - 9/15 pic.twitter.com/BSZp2i3fAD — Political Polls (@PpollingNumbers) September 15, 2026 This poll isn't from a well-known pollster but I trust it far more than, for instance,...

Tom Homan: DHS is investigating Ilhan Omar over potential immigration fraud

Image
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security is investigating allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud by marrying her brother. Homan is quoted as saying "I’m confirming that [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is, yeah, look, I said months ago that it’s something that has been reported and needs to be looked at. I’m not going to comment on ongoing criminal investigations. I know things are going on, but I can’t give specifics of what’s happening. But we’ll see. No one is above the law. We will let HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, continue the investigation." Homan appeared Sunday morning on Fox News Channel's ASunday Briefing. He was interviewed by Jacqui Heinrich, one of FNC's senior White House correspondents. Here's the tweet Heinrich posted about the potential investigation: Border Czar Tom Homan says Dem Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under criminal investigation by HSI for possible immigration/naturaliza...
