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:

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
