The DFL just voted to prove that they're the pro-illegal immigration party and the pro-Medicaid fraud party. The DFL just voted to not conform with federal law . According to the article, "Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives blocked legislation that would clean state Medicaid rolls, remove Medicaid eligibility for noncitizens, and codify Medicaid work requirements. That legislation would bring Minnesota into conformity with federal law." That would likely cause CMS, aka the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to cut off Medicaid funds to Minnesota. Further, this DFL stunt would likely trigger another intensive investigation into Minnesota's Medicaid programs. Minnesota has been caught defrauding Minnesotans and other federal taxpayers on Medicaid programs. If the Trump administration penalizes Minnesota for not complying with federal law, Minnesotans won't give the DFL the benefit of a doubt. That's gone after throwing away an $18,000,0...

Despite having tons of practice, Tim Walz and Keith Ellison aren't skillful liars, disproving the cliche that practice makes perfect. This MPR article highlights Gov. Tim Walz's contentious testimony before the House Oversight Committee. According to the MPR article, "Walz and Ellison defended the state’s response, acknowledging fraud had taken place in state programs and highlighting steps they’d taken to stop it. Republicans countered that not enough was done and fraud blossomed; they issued a report that they said was based on whistleblower reports and other interviews with state officials." Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz "of trying to 'hide behind' a court order to explain why the state resumed payments to Feeding Our Future (FOF), a nonprofit at the center of a massive pandemic-era child nutrition fraud scheme." Lying to Jim Jordan is stupid, which is what Gov. Walz tried to do: This ...

It's virtually impossible to take the DFL seriously. According to Walter Hudson's latest legislative update , "The session is now 25 percent complete, and Democrats have wasted every opportunity to do something productive in this body. Seemingly every single bill that they’re presenting in committee hearings is legislation they know can’t pass a tied House and is entirely performative messaging for partisan likes and political purposes." That's SO DFL! As bad as that is, it gets much worse. Rep. Hudson is one of the brightest legislators in Minnesota. He figures things out quickly. For instance, he wrote "In many cases, what the Democrats propose is outright unconstitutional. Whether it’s a plot to force the feds to do something which we, as a state, literally can’t do, or pushing to take all your guns away and turn your father, your grandpa and your uncle into felons for owning what they’ve owned for 20 years." This year, the DFL's agenda is perfor...

Tim Walz definitely didn't show his empathetic side during "a House Oversight Committee hearing" this week. During the hearing, "Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert asked Walz " if he was "familiar with the names of two Minnesota women allegedly killed by illegal immigrants." Then Rep. "Boebert asked Walz if he knew who Victoria Eileen Harwell and America Mafalda Thayer were. Walz said he did not believe he was aware of either victim." Why would Tim Walz care about their names? If he admitted that he knew them, he'd have to admit that sanctuary cities aren't safe. If that happened, it'd devastate the DFL. Davastating the DFL is as unforgivable to a DFL politicians as comitting mortal sins is to Catholics. Rep. Boebert didn't stop there. Rep. Bobert then said "These are Minnesota women who were brutally killed by illegal aliens in your state. You don’t know who they are, so I would also assume that you did not attend their vigils...

When Iran took 66 hostages at the U.S. Embassy on Nov. 4, 1979, then held 52 of them for 444 days, they committed an act of war. If Jimmy Carter had wanted, he could've launched an all-out war at that moment without congressional approval. Then again, that's assuming he hadn't hollowed out the U.S. military without giving a legitimate reason. The hostages were released on Jan. 20, 1981. It isn't coincidental that the airplane carrying the hostages left Iranian airspace until 5 minutes after President Reagan was fully sworn into office. Back then, Carter was just in over his head. He still loved the U.S. President Reagan's time in office was a turning point for the nation. In President Reagan's Farewell Address to the Nation , he said "It was back in the early eighties, at the height of the boat people. And the sailor was hard at work on the carrier Midway, which was patrolling the South China Sea. The sailor, like most American servicemen, was young, smart...

It isn't difficult to spot the Democrats' stupidity on Iran. In fact, it's virtually impossible to not spot. Mark Penn's op-ed , which he co-authored with Andrew Stein, highlights the Democrats' stupidity on Iran by highlighting the Democrats' partisanship. Further, Democrats apparently forgot that Iran's invasion of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on Nov. 3, 1979 is considered an act of war. The U.S. Commander-in-Chief has the authority to retaliate against nations who've attacked the U.S. Penn and Stein open their op-ed by saying "George Washington’s Farewell Address warned of "the baneful effects of the spirit of party.' Partisanship, the first president observed, 'serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration.' The reaction to President Trump’s strike against the regime in Iran, which has waged war on America for 47 years, is a case in point. Presented with a choice between party and country, mo...
