DFL proposes Universal Basic Income for illegal aliens

Earlier this session, the DFL legislature proposed a bill that would've made Minnesota a sanctuary state. Thankfully, that bill was stopped. The DFL is nothing if not persistent. They've given up on that initiative (for now). Instead of that, the DFL is pushing a bill that would "establish a pilot program" that "would sprinkle $100,000,000 across the state in the form of no less than $500 monthly payments to certain low-income Minnesotans, including illegal aliens."

Alpha News is reporting that "Rep. Athena Hollins, DFL-St. Paul, introduced HF2666 last year. The bill didn’t receive a hearing amidst a historic legislative session where Democrats spent down a $17.5 billion surplus and increased the state budget by more than 38 percent. But with news earlier this month that the state has a projected $3.7 billion surplus, Hollins’ bill received a hearing in the House Children and Families Committee." This is the Trifecta at work.

Here's the DFL 'villain' this time:

Walter Hudson offers his opinion on the bill: If you weren't infuriated already, you will be after this report:

According to Fox9's reporting, 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, aka FPL, is "the median income, meaning that half of Minnesota" would be eligible for this 'income.' This is insanity on steroids times 50. The DFL must know that it isn't possible to sustain this for very long.

First, this is just a "pilot program", meaning that the DFL intends for this welfare program to grow. Giving $100,000,000 away at the rate of $500 a month for 18 months means that approximately 10,000 people would initially be eligible for this welfare program. The American Dream isn't based on giving people money. It's built upon principles of competition, innovation and hard work. Athena Hollins' bill incorporates none of those principles.

It's time to light up the DFL's phone lines at the Capitol until this program is killed and put into its grave once-and-for-all. Next, it's essential that we elect capitalists. It's time to eliminate anti-American socialists like Rep. Hollins. Why would we want a society based on giving money away vs. a society built on innovation, productivity and hard work?

A society that's built on not valuing innovation, productivity and hard work won't prioritize a society that's safe, either.

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
