Introducing Melvin Carter, Minnesota's deadbeat mayor

Minnesota should be proud. Apparently, we're the only state that has a deadbeat mayor. Let's introduce the world to Melvin Carter, Minnesota's deadbeat mayor:

. Acccording to the article, "Carter proudly declared on Wednesday that his student loans had officially been canceled." Congratulations, Mayor Carter. Not only are you a deadbeat but you don't think you have to live by the Supreme Court's rulings: When Carter thanked Joe Biden for 'canceling' his debt, he attached his tweet to Grandpa Deadbeat's tweet that highlights that Biden is proud of ignoring the Supreme Court's ruling prohibiting him from canceling student loan debt without an act of Congress. I guess it's true. Deadbeats of a feather flock together. They're both Democrats. They're both into pretending that they're a) for the little guy and b) regular guys. Isn't that sweet?
Carter also used an X post from President Biden’s account that stood by Biden’s decision to circumvent a Supreme Court ruling to "relieve" student debt.

"The Supreme Court tried to block me from relieving student debt. But they didn’t stop me. I’ve relieved student debt for over 5 million Americans. I’m going to keep going," Biden's post read.

Isn't it great knowing that the leader of the free world forgave the student loan debt of a young man who made $132,000 of income in 2021? That poor destitute bastard. How could Carter make it on a salary twice the amount of Minnesota's median household income? Carter's Wikipedia page:
Carter was a Saint Paul City Council member from 2008 to 2013 and a vice chair of the council. He also was an adjunct faculty member at University of Minnesota-Duluth, teaching graduate-level classes on campaigns and elections. After his tenure, he was appointed as Director of the Office of Early Learning within the Minnesota Department of Education. He took this position in the summer of 2013.

Early career

As a city council member, Carter helped create the Department of Human Rights & Equal Economic Opportunity. He also sponsored legislation including Ban the Box, requiring landlord notification of foreclosure, and banning the sale of candy cigarettes.[9] In 2009, he established the Saint Paul Promise Neighborhood, which brought together the community and government to promote better education quality in schools.[9] In 2008, he was listed in Ebony magazine’s 30 Under 30. In 2011 he received a Barbara Jordan Leadership Award from the National Young Elected Officials Network.

In short, Carter is a career politician. He's never held a job in the private sector, which means he doesn't understand how his decisions hurt his city.

St. Paul needs a mayor that isn't a deadbeat, though it's fair to say that St. Paul has done worse than Carter. Also, it'd be nice if the Twin Cities actually had a capitalist mayor. Right now, they've got 2 socialists. It's time to start straightening Minnesota out.

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

Blistering Barack's butt (bigtime)

This past weekend, Barack Obama tried spreading the blame around for Hamas's murderous rampage of Oct. 7. This blistering op-ed hints that Mr. Obama isn't the effective communicator that he once was. Obama initially insisted that "nobody's hands are clean" from the Oct. 7 Massacre. Liel Leibovitz, the Editor at large of Tablet Magazine wrote this op-ed questioning Obama's intellectual honesty. After Obama said that nobody's hands are clean, Mr. Liebovitz wrote wrote "Nah, man. Not all of us are complicit. It's just you. It's you, because you're the one who gave that stentorian speech about red lines in Syria and then sat by and did nothing as those red lines were crossed and Assad continued to slaughter his own people, allowing the Iranians and the Russians to creep in and fill the vacuum left by your devastating lack of leadership." In short, Mr. Liebovitz isn't buying what Mr. Obama is peddling. Let's question Mr. Obama a

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
