Dan Wolgamott avoids scrutiny

Dan Wolgamott represents me in the Minnesota House of Representatives. This morning, I tried gathering additional information on a townhall meeting he's holding with Steve Simon, Minnesota's Secretary of State. I'd first seen this information in this article.

When I got to Rep. Wolgamott's legislative Twitter account, this is the message I got:

Rep. Wolgamott is a wannabe career politician. He isn't very talented. What he lacks in talent, he make up for in spin. Further, Rep. Wolgamott apparently doesn't like scrutiny. This arrived this afternoon for me from Rep. Wolgamott:
The attack we saw on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th wasn’t the end of radical conservatives’ efforts to destroy our democracy for their political gain. Republican leaders in our state are also doubling down on Trump’s baseless lie to undermine Minnesota’s nationally respected election system. I won’t stand for it. Next week, I’m holding a Defending Democracy Town Hall with Secretary of State Steve Simon to discuss ways we can combat voter suppression and defend your right to vote.
Voting facts:
  • Minnesota has 6 weeks of early voting.
  • Republicans didn't introduce anything to shorten the length of early voting.
  • Minnesota Republicans haven't said anything remotely similar to the things that President Trump said.

Dan Wolgamott isn't being honest with his constituents. He's doing his best to stir up intensity with his supporters. This is important context because Wolgamott said that he'd "bring people together" if elected.

Wolgamott has been a reliable DFL vote for the DFL's agenda. You can't bring people together when you're a true believer from the far-left. He might not be as far-left as John Thompson but that isn't a difficult hurdle to clear.

As for Wolgamott's decision to block me, I have a simple question. What's he hiding from one of his constituents? Here's another question. If he's proud of his decisions, shouldn't he want to defend his decisions? I certainly haven't hidden from my statements.

I'll just close with this observation: I suspect that Rep. Wolgamott doesn't want to be called out for being a far-left Democrat while he's trying to masquerade as a moderate Democrat.

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
