Amy Klobuchar just posted this ridiculous tweet , saying "Democrats are standing together to lower costs, transform our government, and deliver results for Minnesotans!" This is proof that the DFL thinks of us as blithering idiots. Each of these DFL women in the federal government voted for the biggest bill in U.S. history, aka the American Rescue Plan. Each of them voted multiple times for the bailout of Obamacare, too. Obamacare, you'll recall, was supposed to lower health insurance premiums. That hasn't happened since 2010, the year it was passed. While Lt. Gov. Flanagan didn't vote for the American Rescue plan because that's a federal bill, she definitely delighted in spending the money that bill sent to the states. In 2023, Minnesota had a projected surplus of $18,000,000,000. That was less than a year after the 9.1% inflation under Biden in July, 2022. Rather than keeping the Walz-Flanagan ticket promise of sending $2,000 Walz Checks to Minnesotans, Walz...

After reading this Alpha News article , it's pretty obvious that Peggy Flanagan has a racial problem. Alpha News reported "In the days following George Floyd’s death in 2020, Flanagan did an interview with NPR where she said, 'We’ve got a really incredible state — if you’re white. If you are a person of color, if you are indigenous, if you are an immigrant or refugee, the opposite is true.'" That's pretty explicit racism. The Minnesota I've lived in all of my 70 years gets along with everyone that obeys the law. Later in the article: Later in that same NPR interview, Flanagan said Minnesota "has been built' on 'white supremacy' and 'unless we tackle it in a really aggressive way, we are not going to see the systematic change that we need." Lt. Gov. Flanagan apparently sees everything through a racial lens. Saying that we need to tackle racism "in a really aggressive way" is itself acccusing Minnesotans of being racist....

It isn't difficult picturing DFL Gov. Tim Walz's activism and 'leadership' getting the University of Minnesota in trouble. In fact, picturing that is quite easy to do. What Gov. Walz is doing is telling children (and their parents) the llie that boys can become girls, then grow into women. What pervert preaches that sick stuff? This article , which originated in The College Fix, reports "Whether 'directly or indirectly,' U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy wants to know if the University of Minnesota used tax dollars to fund the development of 'therapeutic' 'transgender' dolls for children as young as 4." Let's be clear. This is a political issue of explosive proportions. Only perverts think like this. If the MNGOP accuses the DFL of pushing this crap on little kids, what can the DFL do? Will Leigh Finke fade into the background? It was his bill that established Minnesota as a trans refuge state. Tim Walz signed an executive order establishing M...

Today was a study in contrasts between GOP gubernatorial nominee Lisa Demuth and Amy Klobuchar, the DFL's do-nothing gubernatorial nominee. Speaker Demuth co-hosted a press availability with Ryan Wilson, her running mate, focusing on Medicaid fraud. According to this Alpha News article , Speaker Demuth "unveiled her updated plan to combat fraud in state government." Speaker Demuth's plan would include "fraudsters would get mandatory prison time, receive a lifetime ban from welfare benefits in Minnesota, and anyone who gets welfare benefits in Minnesota would be restricted from transferring money overseas." That's what substantive proposals look like. I trust people who get specific. I don't trust people who speak in platitudes. Amy Klobuchar is an expert in speaking in platitudes. She’s good at saying good-sounding things. She’s worthless at doing what needs to be done. We need a person who fixes things. We don’t need a person who’s good at saying th...

I can't blame Peggy Flanagan from distancing herself from Gov. Tim Walz, the worst governor of the 21st Century. Without question, he's been the biggest embarrassment in recent Minnesota history. Still, she was Gov. Walz's Lt. Gov. She can't deny that she played a role in Gov. Walz's administation. Michele Tafoya is accusing Lt. Gov. Flanagan of her role in Minnesota's Medicaid fraud scandal. Tafoya even accused Flanagan of not mentioning fraud during her victory speech after Flanagan's primary victory on August 11, 2026. In this interview with Harris Faulkner, Tafoya said that Lt. Gov. Flanagan got the same reports from the legislative auditor: Flanagan had a golden opportunity to volunteer to lead a task force to clean up the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota. Flanagan's record includes dropping test scores for K-12 students. Minnesotans won't forget this T-Shirt either: Lt. Gov. Flanagan is wholeheartedly behind boys playing in girls sports. It doesn...

rhy are Democrat governors expected to run for president opposing school choice? That's the question Glenn Youngkin asked in this NY Post op-ed . Youngkin opened his op-ed by stating "Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, along with just about every other Democratic governor across America, are currently blocking over 20 million students from life-changing education opportunities." That's an easy answer and the unions know it. The unions aren't in this for the kids. The teachers are but the unions? Not so much. The unions are in this to enrich teachers and their executives. In 2023, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten and her executive team made millions: $569,012: Randi Weingarten, President, $458,966: Federick C Ingram $376,332 Evelyn DeJesus, EVP $357,174 Darrin Nedrow, Director of Organization and Field S $354,603 Jessica Smith, Dir...
