The Calvin Coolidge Project X account reports that Elon Musk plans on being a difference-maker in this fall's midterms. According to the tweet, "Elon Musk is expected to spend between $100 million and $200 million to support Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections. The spending is expected to focus on voter turnout in key battleground states , including the Texas Senate Race to help Ken Paxton." 🚨Report: Elon Musk is expected to spend between $100 million and $200 million to support Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections The spending is expected to focus on voter turnout in key battleground states, including the Texas Senate Race to help Ken Paxton Via: The Wired pic.twitter.com/oY6akbmrsX — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) August 20, 2026 This is a major boost to the GOP GOTV operation.

True to form, Amy Klobuchar is everywhere. That's what she does in election years. When she isn't running, you can't find St. Amy of Hennepin County (my nickname for Sen. Klobuchar) if your life depended on it. Recently, she announced that, if elected governor, she'd order an audit of state agencies, supposedly to eliminate fraud. That's a nice first step but it comes with a question. Why didn't she do anything about pervasive fraud in the FEDERAL government? If she thinks that Minnesota fraud is bad, how would she characterize fraud in the federal government? St. Amy's record on federal fraud doesn't exist. That's because she didn't lift a finger on it. Now, she wants to portray herself as the great fraud fighter? She has a 20-year history of what she'd do to fight federal fraud. That record is empty. This thing that she’s doing now is just an act. Lisa Demuth nailed it in this tweet: The victims here are real. The Walz administration’s fai...

Once upon a time, in a land ruled by WNBA superstar Sophie Cunningham, a wicked witch visited Sophie's kingdom. The name of the wicked witch was changed to protect the wicked witch. In this fairy tale, the wicked witch's name was Julie Papinoe. According to this clever, well-written article , written by Andrew Fox and published by PJ Media, the WNBA "was a wonderfully complicated kingdom, but the players wanted to get paid." Imagine that. Players stayed fit at least 10 months each, took risks to their bodies, then asked they get paid for the skill they showed and the risks to their health they took You'd almost think that the C-Word (Capitalism) had broken out in Sophie Cunningham's Kingdom! Imagine that. Socialism suddenly took a nosedive. But that isn't the end of the story. Things get far more sordid after that. According to Fox, 2 men volunteered to guard the WNBA's henhouse. According to Fox, "Then came a knock at the door. Everyone turned. T...

When I read this MPR article , I couldn't stop laughing. This couldn't be real statements from Sen. Klobuchar . According to the article, Klobuchar said "Because as governor, I don't like the status quo. I want to transform this state." I must be daydreaming. Sen. Klobuchar saying that she doesn't "like the status quo" is like Jack the Ripper saying that he doesn't like fine cutlery. It just doesn't fit the person. She's been in DC for 20 years. She's never chief-sponsored a significant piece of legislation either. She's the definition of status quo. Further into the article, MPR quotes Sen. Klobuchar as saying "I will deliver those results. I've done it as senator, and I will do it as your governor." She's also quoted as saying "I want to transform this state." In 2008, then-Sen. Obama said this: Now, the DSA wants to abolish ICE, the Senate, change it so that the president reports to Congress and elim...

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....
