Angry Keith Ellison vs. Jim Schultz

Friday night, a frustrated, angry Keith Ellison attempted to make up ground against GOP challenger Jim Schultz. From a substantive standpoint, Schultz exercised command of the issues while displaying that he, not Ellison, has the right vision for the Minnesota OAG (Office of Attorney General). From a body language standpoint, Ellison got wiped out. He interrupted too often. He was dismissive in a snotty way with Schultz. Ellison's worst part of the debate was when the DFL AG said he doesn't support the Defund-the-Police movement.

Ellison said "We had some difficulties in Minneapolis with George Floyd’s murder, and it was important to get together and talk as a community about how that never happens again. I wanted to see the department be more inclusive, police plus gang violence prevention, plus mental health, plus housing." That's BS and Keith Ellison knows it. This article provides proof of AG Ellison's dishonesty. The article opens by saying "Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar have thrown their support behind the Minneapolis ballot initiative that would replace the police department with a new department of public safety. 'As a resident of Mpls where George Floyd’s murder sparked a national call for real reform, I will vote Yes for greater public safety & more human rights for all,' Ellison tweeted on Tuesday." This is KARE11's report from Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis:

What part of that event sounds like they didn't want to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, aka MPD? The sign at the front of the stage literally said "Defund the Police." It's apparent that Keith Ellison thinks he can spin his way out of whatever situation his radical policies have put him in. Here's the receipt showing angry, frustrated Keith Ellison interrupting everyone in sight, including the moderators:

Before going further, let's highlight part of Lisa Bender's speech at Powderhorn Park. She said "Our commitment is to end the City's toxic relationship with the Police Department." Mr. Ellison, please explain how you aren't for defunding the MPD while supporting amending the Minneapolis City Charter that the City Council said would end the MPD. The simple truth is that Mr. Ellison can't explain how he's for amending the Minneapolis City Charter to eliminate the police while still publicly saying he doesn't favor elimininating the MPD.

That's a conundrum that Houdini couldn't get himself out of. PS- Angry Keith Ellison isn't Houdini.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
