Will Angie Craig criticize Nancy Pelosi?

Apparently, Angie Craig isn't willing to stand up to Nancy Pelosi, the lame-duck Speaker. Pelosi's PAC is running a rather dishonest ad. According to this article, 2 TV stations have given Pelosi's attack ad a rather negative rating. KSTP's Fact Check gave Pelosi's PAC's an F. "A Fox 9 fact check called the ad 'misleading,' taking issue with its claim that Kistner "would help Republicans ban abortion for the whole country."

Angie Craig isn't a moderate. She's a hard-wired progressive. Craig's campaign is doing its best to avoid talking about runaway inflation, rampant crime and the chaotic border. It isn't a stretch to say that her campaign is all-about-abortion-all-of-the-time.

FYI- "To get an 'F' grade [in KSTP's Truth Test], more than half the information in an ad must be 'outright false or misleading or out of context.'" KSTP’s Truth Test's statement says "After an extensive online search and even email exchanges with Democratic Rep. Angie Craig’s campaign, which did not produce this ad but has made similar claims, there is no evidence Kistner has been caught on video or in written form saying he opposes abortions under those extreme circumstances."

With all due respect to KSTP and KMSP, aka Fox9, that's missing the point. Democrats don't care about the truth. With Democrats, it's about the seriousness of the allegations:

Remember the October Surprise and remember Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill, folks. Remember the left’s battle cry: "The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters."
There were questions about Anita Hill's testimony at the hearing. When Arlen Specter highlighted those questions with his crossexamination of Hill, Democrats jumped to Hill's defense, saying that it wasn't just about the evidence but also about the seriousness of the charges.

This is Theo Keith's fact check of an attack ad running against Kistner:

The Minnesota GOP also released a statement on the ad, calling it a "blatant lie."

"We are glad KSTP is calling out the latest Democrat lie. Democrats are desperately trying to make this election about abortion because they know they can’t defend their failed records on the economy and public safety — their only option is to intentionally mislead the people they claim to represent," said communications director Nick Majerus.

Angie Craig isn't a moderate. She's voted for every major spending bill that Democrats put forward. She's voted for $5.00/gallon gas and 10% inflation. No amount of Pelosi spin will change that.

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...
