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.

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...
