Kill this Minnesota bill immediately

The bill described in this article couldn't be supported by freedom-loving people. If passed and signed into law, the Sustainable Transportation Act would "reduce vehicle miles traveled by at least 20 percent by 2050, on a statewide basis." Rep. Frank Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis, isn't the brightest bulb in the DFL's chandelier. According to Rep. Hornstein, "a reduction in vehicle miles traveled, or VMT, is needed 'if we are going to make headway in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. Transportation is now the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and we’ve had the least amount of reduction in the transportation sector.'" What's needed, Rep. Hornstein, is for the State Department to negotiate a treaty with megapolluters like China, India and Russia that requires them to reduce their GHG emissions. Why should the US restrict ourselves when other nations are ignoring climate change? We're already leading by example. That isn't what's being considered, though:
Sam Rockwell, executive director of Move Minnesota, said the production and distribution of electric vehicles has not "happened fast enough to meet climate timelines. We would have to be producing 100% electric vehicles within the next seven to eight years to achieve that," he said while testifying in support of the bill.
Who thinks like that? I'm certain that people at far left think tanks think like that. I wouldn't doubt that the lefties repesenting Minneapolis and St. Paul think like that. (That's where Hornstein is from.) Minnesota's central planners apparently don't think highly of individual rights. These Democrats are control freaks through and through. This bill needs to be stopped immediately and forever.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
