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.

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
