Peggy Flanagan's Kamala moment?

Peggy Flanagan apparently doesn't know what a parent's responsibilities are. It's apparent because she said something so stupid that it'd make Kamala's speechwriters blush. At a press availability, Flanagan said "When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. That’s what it means to be a good parent."

That's breathtakingly, frighteningly stupid. Children aren't allowed to sign contracts for a reason. They're often incapable of making mature decisions because that part of the brain takes time to develop. Further, children haven't accumulated the wisdom that comes with a multitude of different experiences. With those experiences come mistakes. Mistakes are often the best teachers because success often is one step ahead of complacency. A mistake often sharpens the mind and increases discipline.

According to the article, "The viral comment was made during a press conference earlier this month when Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order making Minnesota a sanctuary state for gender transitions, including for minors and residents of other states with more restrictive laws." It isn't surprising that Flanagan's statement went viral. It's one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. Watch it for yourself:

Why did Gov. Walz sign this executive order? Is he that out-of-touch with the long-term effects of these procedures?

This is a dark period for Minnesota. The DFL isn't a rational participant anymore. The DFL has lost its moral compass. 20 years from now, after Flanagan's statements have done their damage, history will highlight the damage that she's done. It won't be pretty. The truth is that it's already pretty ugly..

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
