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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

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
