SD-14 endorsing convention news

This past Saturday, the SD-14 Republicans held their endorsing convention. Delegates for HD-14A took little time in endorsing Rep. Bernie Perryman by acclimation. Rep. Perryman ran unopposed.

Meanwhile, longtime GOP activist Sue Ek won endorsement on the first ballot with 65% of the vote. After winning the endorsement, Ek's campaign issued this statement:

First, in the interest of full disclosure, I've known Sue Ek for more than 15 years. That means that I'm biased, though that doesn't mean I can't see things objectively. OPINION: Unlike Rep. Wolgamott, Sue Ek will represent the voters in HD-14B. Wolgamott represented (in this order) Melissa Hortman and the DFL.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

  1. Wolgamott voted for some ultra-controversial bills during the 2023 budget session.
  2. When Wolgamott voted for the HHS omnibus bill, he voted for the repeal of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which provided legal protection infants who survived an abortion. (What type of ghoul would repeal such a protection?
  3. Wolgamott also voted for the Transgender Refuge Act, aka HF 146. HF 146 prohibits the enforcement of other states' lawful subpoenas that "interfere with an individual's right to receive gender-affirming health care.
  4. Wolgamott voted for the Blackout Bill, which is meant to halt climate change.
Wolgamott gushed about how this bill will save the planet:
"Last night, I voted YES to help our state address climate change and prepare for a carbon-free future. We just passed HF 7, to set a new standard to produce 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040."

"The last eight years globally have been the hottest on record, and Minnesota is among the top states currently seeing rapid changes to our climate. Climate change driven by fossil fuels is impacting our environment, infrastructure, and our health."

What a bunch of malarkey. There's no such thing as carbon-free electricity. The materials used to make solar panels or wind turbines don't auto-extract themselves. The machines used for mining use diesel fuel or some other fossil fuel. So much for carbon-free electricity.

Here's part of the hearing moving HF 146 through the committee:

Though he'll deny it, Rep. Wolgamott voted to strip single parents, some of whom might be going through custody fights, of their parental rights. That's beyond ghoulish.

I've known Sue Ek for 15+ years. She's a principled person who would govern by the principles listed in her victory statement. I've known of Rep. Wolgamott since 2016. He's a career politician, which means he'll do whatever the leadership team wants. Rep. Wolgamott is bought-and-paid-for by the DFL's special interest allies. The vote to repeal the Born Alive Infant Protection Act didn't represent HD-14B. They represented Tim Walz and Melissa Hortman. It's time for Wolgamott to go.

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...
