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.

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
