The Republicans' budget emphasis

In one GOP legislative update after GOP legislative update, each has highlighted the DFL's 'free' health care for illegal aliens. Rep. Mary Franson highlighted the program in this legislative update, saying "Last year, they expanded MinnesotaCare to cover this population, promising it would serve 7,700 people at a cost of $196 million. Now, after months of House Republicans demanding transparency, the truth is out. Enrollment has jumped to over 17,000, and the price tag has exploded to more than $550 million. That entire cost is coming straight from Minnesota taxpayers because illegal immigrants do not qualify for federal support."

This was the DFL's highest priority other than establishing Minnesota as a trans-refuge state. The DFL wouldn't be in this position if they hadn't spent the entire projected surplus. If the DFL had been a bit more restrained, Minnesota wouldn't be facing a major deficit. Frankly, Gov. Walz and the DFL are prioritizing the wrong things. Rep. Franson highlights that in this paragraph:

Democrats are prioritizing free benefits for people who are here illegally while telling our seniors, first responders, and families to wait their turn. That’s not just unfair, it’s outrageous. House Republicans are holding the line and fighting to make sure your tax dollars go where they belong: taking care of Minnesotans who built this state and need our support now more than ever.
Why is the DFL prioritizing freeloaders while not taking care of Minnesotans' needs? Is the DFL that allergic to Trump's America First priorities? If the DFL doesn't start prioritizing the right things, their legislative majorities will disappear. On Garage Logic, Mayor Soucheray askedto restore "How can Gov. Walz turn his State of the State of the State Address into a positive?"

It's impossible for someone as untalented as Gov. Walz to sell this expansion of Medicaid for illegal aliens instead of taking of Minnesotans. If Gov. Walz won't take care of Minnesotans that are here legally, then he shouldn't be governor. Period.

The DFL isn't listening to Minnesotans. If that doesns't change ASAP, the DFL will be swept from their legislative majorities. Gov. Walz spent most of his State of the State Address criticizing President Trump. He spent little ttime talking about expanding Medicaid. These major speeches are written months in advance. This ratio isn't accidental. It's intentional.

Finally, it's time for the House GOP to stand their ground on this issue. Let's restore common sense to Minnesota. Since the DFL won't do it, it's up to the GOP to restore common sense:

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...

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 ...
