DFL Rep. John Thompson, deadbeat dad

Apparently, DFL Rep. John Thompson is a deadbeat dad in addition to being a scofflaw. Rep. Thompson has a colorful history, to put it politely. Last summer, Thompson led a BLM rally in Hugo, MN, against the police union's president. During the BLM rally, Thompson let fly with a lengthy, profanity-laced diatribe:
 
This is what KARE11 wrote at the time:
A DFL-endorsed candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives issued an apology this week, after video surfaced of his conduct at a protest outside police union president Bob Kroll’s house on Saturday in the suburb of Hugo.

Knowing that, it isn't surprising that there's more to the Thompson story than that. Here's more:

Rep. John Thompson, DFL-St. Paul, was pulled over by St. Paul Police near Seventh Street East and Wacouta Street at 1:18 a.m. Sunday for not having a front license plate, police said. 
Thompson has been an outspoken advocate for changing state law to prohibit so-called "pre-textual" traffic stops for things like expired tabs. Thompson and other supporters of such a change say the minor infractions are often used to racially profile Black drivers. 
St. Paul Police say Thompson told the officer he was a Minnesota state representative and claimed he was being racially profiled. When asked for his driver's license, Thompson gave the officer a Wisconsin driver's license. Police said officers then learned Thompson's Minnesota driving privileges were suspended in 2019 for failing to pay child support.

Thus far, Thompson has been endorsed by DFL Gov. Tim Walz, failed to pay child support and led a profanity-laced diatribe against the police union president. That's the personification of an out-of-control racist/activist. The metro DFL  has a history of picking candidates who are activists first, citizens far down the list of priorities. Character isn't the DFL's priority.

Between Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison and Thompson, the DFL has identified and recruited one scofflaw after another. If you can't trust these DFL politicians, why vote for them? These DFL politicians are just a scandal waiting to happen.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
