House Democrats are certifiably insane

I'd never heard of Rep. Wiley Nickel before today. Now I'm wishing I'd never heard of that idiot. Rep. Nickel launched into a short rant (at least in this Twitter video) that was filled with more srawman arguments than Barack Obama used during his administration. That's saying something!

He opened his diatribe by saying "If Trump attempts to weaponize the justice system against his political opponents, we could see Sen. Adam Schiff (California), as our shadow attorney general, arguing against replacing our independent prosecutors with Trump loyalists." It went downhill after that, if that's possible. Next, Nickel said "If Trump seeks to eliminate the Department of Education, Congresswoman Johana Hayes, a former Teacher of the Year, could step up as shadow Education Secretary to loudly defend public education in the United States. If Trump orders Marco Rubio to hand over Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe over to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Congressman Greg Meeks, as shadow Secretary of State, could be a strong voice in support of maintaining international relationships and protecting democracy at home and abroad."

Nickel continued:

Sen. Michael Bennet as shadow treasury secretary and Congresswoman Suzan DelBene as shadow commerce secretary could help ensure the middle class and small businesses have a voice in government and call out Trump's proposed tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. As shadow defense secretary, Congressman Adam Smith, a great representative for the people of Washington and not a Fox News host, could counter Trump's threat to use military force against his political opponents and work to ensure that the Department of Defense stays loyal to the Constitution and not some wannabe dictator. And Senator Tammy Duckworth could argue against cutsa against the Department of Veterans Affairs that would delay the benefits and care that our servicemembers have so rightly earned. If Trump hands over the EPA to big oil ally Lee Zeldin, we could see Congresswoman Kathy Castor pushing back for environmental protection and conservation to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink. And if Trump pushes to ban abortion nationwide, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro could step in as shadow secretary of health and human services to defend a woman's right to choose and argue against the gutting of Medicare by Trump and his cronies.
In thinking about Congressman Nickel, I'm flabbergasted with his apparent foolishness and inability to learn from what the American people said on Election Night. The people said that they didn't want business-as-usual government. They rejected the Democrats' lies, too. Whoever this clown is, he isn't the brightet bulb in the chandelier.

I'n this interview, Nickel sounds entirely different:

He's got a point in that Democrats spent too much time essentially saying 'Orange Man Bad.' That being said, Democrats didn't develop a positive message over the past 4 years. The EV mandate was a total loser. Militarily, the Democrats were mostly about DEI and training soldiers to be woke. Economically, Democrats whined about the rich not paying their fair share.

Nickel's diatribe spent too much time worrying about things that've never been considered (think Trump turning Ukraine over to Putin or Pete Hegseth betraying the Constitution [What a joke that is!]) or thinghs that never happen.

I'll have more to say about Pete Hegseth later this weekend. Let's just say that I'm tired of the Democrats' whining.

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
