Scott Jensen vs. Ken Martin, Javier Morillo COVID extremism edition

Ken Martin has a script and he's sticking to it. It doesn't have anything to do with the truth but it's got a lot in common with digging the DFL out of a hole. In his interview with Almanac's Mary Lahammer, Martin's dishonesty shined through.

In the interview, Martin said about Dr. Jensen "...some of his positions, particularly around COVID, some of the conspiracy theories that he's glommed onto just aren't supported by people even in his medical profession." Let's put that up against what Dr. Jensen said in his interview with Lahammer.

In that interview, Dr. Jensen said that he hasn't gotten the vaccine because he got infected with COVID before the vaccines were approved. Dr. Jensen then said that he has more antibodies than his patients who got their antibodies from a vaccine. Finally, Dr. Jensen said that he gets his antibodies checked every other month.

If this race comes down to a fight on COVID credibility, crime and taxes, which I think is likely, that isn't the issue set that benefits the DFL. That's why Martin is playing the extremist card this early. Watch this interview, then explain where Martin's claims of extremism come from:

Then watch Ms. Lahammer's interview of Martin:

Finally, watch this Almanac Roundtable, featuring Javier Morillo as DFL puppet:

This is like Terry McAuliffe repeatedly invoking Trump's name in the hopes that people would connect Trump with Youngkin. Martin and Morillo can scream extremist all they want. Dr. Jensen just isn't an extremist. On COVID, Dr. Jensen sounds like he's where a supermajority of Minnesotans are at. Further, it's clear that Tim Walz tried hanging onto his Peacetime Emergency Powers far too long. Dr. Jensen wants to change that so the legislature has more input into decisions. Walz didn't want that. He wanted to be an emporor. That isn't what Minnesotans want.

Minnesotans want 2 things. Minnesotans want the governor and legislators to work together. Finally, they want the politicians to get things right the first time the vast majority of times. That means they aren't satisfied with politicians working together. They want them to work together and to fix things.

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
