The Jensen-Birk policy tour

As we near Minnesota's State Fair, then Labor Day, it's becoming clear that the Jensen-Birk campaign is shifting into the policy phase of the campaign. Thus far, the Jensen-Birk videos have spelled out what they'd do if elected.

Their videos have addressed small businesses, crime and education. The theme thus far has been one of the importance of changing direction. The Jensen-Birk ticket also released their plan for energy, which has drawn this rave review from Isaac Orr.

Orr praised the Jensen-Birk plan, saying "The main pillars of Jensen’s energy policies are legalizing the construction of new nuclear power plants, repealing the California car mandates for electric vehicles, which unelected bureaucrats in the Walz administration unilaterally imposed on Minnesota, and maintaining the reliability of our electric grid. Each of these proposals is exactly what we should be focusing on for the future of energy in Minnesota."

This is a no-brainer of a decision. Gov. Walz can't advocate for nuclear power because he's owned by the environmental activist wing of the DFL. Nuclear is safe, emission-free and reliable. As for repealing California's EV car mandates, that's a major step in the right direction.

The DFL thinks that it's ok to force people to do what it thinks is the right thing. The GOP thinks that it's important to let people and families make decisions like that. Climate change exists but it isn't the existential threat that the DFL thinks.

How many small business owners remember Tim Walz's arbitrary decisions on who could stay open and who was shut down? For those that remember, check out this video:

We don't need a tyrant who's clinging to his peacetime emergency powers. That's Tim Walz. We need someone who utilizes those powers briefly, then returns to working with the legislature.

Finally, it's time for legislators to make these EV car decisions. Having unelected bureaucrats making those decisions is repulsive and then some.

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
