MPPOA endorses Scott Jensen

It used to be that unions and Democrats fit together like hands and gloves. That isn't the case anymore. That's because Democrats have turned into a party of elitists. Republicans have taken over the title of being the blue-collar party. Democrats aren't a blue-collar party anymore.

Thanks to the DFL's 'Defund the Police' campaign, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, aka MPPOA, has endorsed Dr. Scott Jensen for governor instead of endorsing DFL Gov. Tim Walz.

DFL Gov. Tim Walz lost the MPPOA endorsement, at least in part, because Walz wouldn't defend the Third Precinct Police Building during the George Floyd Riots. It didn't help that Gov. Walz didn't dispatch the National Guard until the third night of the riots.

The article opens, saying "Minnesota’s largest police association announced its endorsement of Republican gubernatorial candidate Dr. Scott Jensen Thursday morning. The announcement was made in front of the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct building, which was destroyed in the 2020 George Floyd riots."

This is the video of the endorsement announcement:

These are harsh, though well-deserved, words:
"When our cops most needed support, it wasn’t there," Jensen said, reflecting on the riots.

The MPPOA represents more than 10,000 rank-and-file police officers throughout the state.

"Look where we’re at. Over my shoulder used to be a police department. It’s no longer there," said Executive Director Brian Peters. "Gov. Walz has been missing in action during his term. We need leadership that is going to support law enforcement and not show up when it’s convenient or it’s an election cycle."

The Walz campaign issued this statement:
Governor Walz has proposed hundreds of millions of dollars to fund local police departments and help them hire more officers, and he’ll keep fighting to deliver more funding, training, and resources in his second term.
Tim Walz's empty words mean nothing. When the MPD needed Walz's help, Walz wasn't there. That's indisputable. This video says it all:

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
