John Thompson, domestic abuser?

DFL Gov. Tim Walz and other DFL politicians are calling on Rep. John Thompson, DFL-St. Paul, to resign immediately. It's worth noting that they didn't call on Thompson to resign when he accused Rep. Eric Lucero, a Hispanic, of being a racist. Democrats didn't call for Thompson's resignation after Thompson accused a police officer of racially profiling Thompson.

This time, Democrats are calling on Thompson to resign immediately because the DFL allegedly just learned that he's allegedly abused his girlfriend. Alpha News's Kyle Hooten smells a rat:

From Scott Johnson's Powerline post:

At Alpha News Kyle Hooten comments: "It is unclear why no such request was made earlier, as Thompson’s pattern of alleged physical abuse has been public knowledge since he entered politics."

The DFL is stuck with Thompson. Minnesota Republicans will tie Thompson around the neck of every vulnerable DFL representative in 2022. I suspect, though, that they'll tie Rep. Thompson's Hugo diatribe around the DFL's neck, not the alleged sexual misconduct from 15+ years ago.

The truth is that the DFL should've recognized that Thompson had a hardware store-sized collection of screws loose after Thompson's profanity-filled Hugo diatribe. Check out what Gov. Walz said of that incident:

Gov. Walz and the DFL didn't drop their endorsement of Thompson when it was obvious that he was a hot head. Gov. Walz and the DFL didn't drop their endorsement of Thompson when it was obvious that he was a racist. Gov. Walz and the DFL didn't drop their endorsement of Thompson when it was obvious that Thompson didn't hesitate in intimidating the DFL's political adversaries. Gov. Walz and the DFL didn't drop their endorsement of Thompson when it was obvious until Thompson became a political liability. Check out Gov. Walz's faux outrage tweet calling for Thompson's immediate resignation:

In his tweet, Gov. Walz said "Minnesotans deserve representatives who uphold the highest moral character and share our values." When Thompson called GOP Rep. Eric Lucero a racist, did Rep. Thompson display the highest moral character? Did Thompson share the DFL's values? When Thompson led a rally against Bob Kroll, did Rep. Thompson display the highest moral character? Did Thompson share the DFL's values then?

Spare me the sanctimony, Gov. Walz.

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...
