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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
