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.

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
