DFL ignores First Amendment via Minnesota Human Rights Act

Anyone that thinks that the DFL (Minnesotan for whacked-out Marxist-progressives) has a soul should read this article. Last year, the DFL slipped language into the Minnesota Human Rights Act that stripped religious institutions of protections against "gender identity discrimination." Those protections were in the Act from its initial passage. Last year, those protections were intentionally stripped from the Act, which I wrote about here and here.

Rep. Harry Niska, (R-Ramsey), led the fight to restore those protections. Unfortunately, Rep. Niska's amendment was defeated. According to the article, "Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature have been met with resistance and hostility in their attempt to restore protections for religious institutions that disagree with the state’s views on gender. Sen. Warren Limmer, R-Maple Grove, put forward an amendment to a bill during a committee hearing early Tuesday morning that 'restores the exemption in the Minnesota Human Rights Act that protects religious organizations and faith-based schools against claims of gender identity discrimination.'"

Parents and legislators should put the Upper Midwest Law Center on their speed-dial for their federal lawsuit that charges the legislature with violating these religious institutions' First Amendment rights. Rep. Walter Hudson lays things out perfectly in this interview:

This isn't subtle. The DFL stated emphatically in the eHouse that they were willfully breaking their oath of office. This wasn't a mistake. They didn't try to tiptoe up to the line without crossing that line. They confidently walked right past that line and said 'I dare you to challenge me.'

I'm not known for being diplomatic so I won't attempt it here. Challenge accepted. Be prepared to get your Fani paddled by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn thought she could do whatever she wanted to do. She's about to find out that the First Amendment has some teeth in it. Here's hoping the Eighth Circuit leaves its mark in her butt. (And then some.) She deserves it because she's shown that she thinks that she's above the law.

Those are the people that deserve a righteous comeuppance and then some. Here's hoping that the DFL gets an epic comeuppance for the ages. They've earned it.

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
