Scott Jensen's fast post-convention start

On Saturday, Scott Jensen won the Republican Party of Minnesota's endorsement to be their candidate for governor this November against DFL Gov. Tim Walz. It took 9 ballots to finally secure the 60% required for winning the endorsement. While that's a ton of ballots to secure the victory, it's well worth it for Jensen in the sense that this essentially ends the GOP race for governor.

While it's still legal to primary Dr. Jensen, that'd be foolish. Rich Stanek supposedly is considering primarying Dr. Jensen. He doesn't stand a chance. What's the rationale for his candidacy? While it's certain he'd be able to raise lots of establishment money, money isn't the key determining factor. Dr. Jensen will have the support of the activists. If Tim Pawlenty can't win a primary, why would Stanek have a legitimate shot at winning?

Dr. Jensen needs to do some things to defeat Tim Walz. First, he must win back the suburbs. This is a good year for that because Tim Walz hasn't done a thing to help with inflation. Also, Walz shut down schools and small businesses, some of which went bankrupt. That won't help Gov. Walz in the suburbs.

Tim Walz, with the DFL's help, proposed one-time stimulus checks and tons of new spending. The GOP, by comparison, wants permanent tax relief by lowering the bottom marginal tax rate from 5.35% to 2.8%. Unlike the DFL's plan, the GOP plan wouldn't create inflation. Unlike the DFL's plan, the Jensen/GOP plan will provide permanent tax relief to families.

The DFL plan would spend money on government programs while families need help with the rising cost of groceries, gas and home heating bills. The GOP/Jensen plan would directly help families. The DFL plan would help government more than it'd help families.

That's unacceptable. With a projected surplus of $9,250,000,000, Minnesotans shouldn't get a one-time rebate check. They should get ongoing permanent tax relief. The DFL/Walz plan delivers the former. The GOP/Jensen plan provides the latter.

It's time to elect a families-first candidate instead of electing a puppet of big government special interests. Anyone who's watched Gov. Walz the past 4 years knows that he's a puppet of the big government unions, especially Education Minnesota. It's time to put families first. It's time to elect Scott Jensen and Matt Birk.

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
