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.

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
