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.

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...
