State DFL Chair Ken Martin defends Nicole Mitchell

The DFL is quickly turning into the Party of Thuggish Behavior. This morning on At Issue, DFL State Party Chair Ken Martin defended disgraced DFL State Sen. Nicole Mitchell, saying that she should still be able to vote on important pieces of legislation while Sen. Mitchell's tawdry episode plays out in the judicial system.

That's a pile of BS. If a mid-level manager at a company was accused of doing the things that Mitchell has admitted to, that manager would, at minimum, be suspended with pay. At most, that manager might get terminated.

Martin's arguments are what I'd expect from him. He's a partisan hack. I wrote this article yesterday to give readers what the Detroit Lakes police reported. In the article, they said "Officers found Mitchell, a first-term senator from Woodbury, in the basement of her stepmother's Detroit Lakes house. Mitchell was dressed in black and admitted to entering her stepmother's house through a sliding basement window, according to the criminal complaint. Police said they found a flashlight covered with a black sock — dimming its brightness — near Mitchell, and a backpack wedged in the open basement window. That backpack contained several items, including a laptop that the criminal complaint suggests belonged to Mitchell's stepmother."

Martin didn't explain why Sen. Mitchell left Woodbury at 1:00 am Monday, then drove 3+ hrs. to Detroit Lakes to retrieve these things. That's because I don't think there's anything of an explanation for her actions. This comes down to the DFL wanting to shove their radical agenda down Minnesotans' throats:

The key part of the report is the part that talks about tie votes. If the DFL didn't insist on passing a radical agenda, they could get a number of bills passed. Apparently, they aren't interested in passing sensible pieces of legislation. If the people of Woodbury voted for Mitchell, that's their problem. If they aren't represented for the rest of this session, that's their problem. They should choose more wisely next time.

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
