Tim Walz's Declining Minnesota

DFL Gov. Tim Walz is pushing Minnesota to the brink of irrelevance. This isn't a partisan attack. It's a policy attack. The DFL's machine doesn't listen to people. The DFL just crushes dissent. In the DFL's view, dissent isn't optional. It's crushed.

Gov. Walz's education agenda includes a push for ethnic studies. According to DFL legislation, "Ethnic studies analyzes the ways in which race and racism have been and continue to be powerful social, cultural, and political forces, and the connection of race to the stratification of other groups, including stratification based on gender, class, sexuality, religion, and legal status." Parents are fighting back.

"Kofi Montzka, a mother to three boys, said the language of the bill tells kids of color that they are stuck in a caste system based on their race. You might ask: why in the world would a black person speak against ethnic studies? Because not everything that sounds good is good," she said. "I’m sick of everyone denying the enormous progress we’ve made in this country acting like it’s 1930. We used to have a race-based system. We got rid of it and now you’re all trying to bring it back."

The DFL is wedded to these policies. That's why Minnesota is considered a no-go state for investors. Kevin O'Leary has ripped Minnesota twice this week, using the Fargo-Moorhead comparison to strengthen his argument. According to O'Leary, Fargo and Moorhead both had populations of 50,000 as recently as 25 years ago. That's ancient history according to O'Leary. Today, "Moorhead has a population of 30,000" while Fargo's population has skyrocketed to 260,000. The difference in O'Leary' opinion? North Dakota is "a gem for investment because it's got good policy. Right across the river, 200 yards away, from Fargo is a town called Moorhead. You get out and it looks like Cuba." There's only 30,000 people there. In Fargo, there's 260,000. "The difference? Minnesota policy. North Dakota policy. That's the difference. You're a nurse, you cross the river and you save 9.2% on your taxes."

Especially at a time of high inflation, that extra 9.2% is a big deal. Check out Sean Hannity's interview of Kevin O'Leary. It starts 32 minutes into this video:

Things like implementing ethnic studies, along with higher taxes, makes Minnesota more difficult to live in. Living in a state where the governor thinks his citizens are racists and where the governor thinks that high taxes aren't a deal-breaker with families causes families to vote with their mortgages and their rental leases. Productive people are leaving Minnesota. They're being replaced by less-than-productive people. That's the fact of the matter. The next time a DFL politician tries selling you the vision that Minnesota is a great place to live, ask them why productive people are leaving Minnesota.

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
