Tim Walz's, DFL's intransigence the major sticking point in budget negotiations

It's time to stop mincing words and pulling punches when it comes time to talking about Tim Walz's and the DFL's the DFL's attempts at negotiatinga biennial budget. With a major projected budget deficit hovering over them, the DFL still insists on inflicting another tax hike on Minnesota's taxpayers to pay for 'free' college tuition and 'free' health care for illegal aliens. With a major budget deficit hovering over our heads, it's time to live within our means.

Giving illegal aliens free tuition for illegal aliens isn't living within our means. This weekend, I spoke with a GOP lawmaker about the status of negotiation. This legislator told me that there isn't a single votein the GOP Caucus willing to vote for either line item. I was told that was a hard no.

According to this report, Tim Walz is quoted as saying "There’s no doubt we’re at the 11th hour here. It’s time to get it done. Folks are gonna be frustrated if you compromise on things that they care about. That’s the only way to get it done."

Actually, Mr. Walz, it's time to start listening to Minnesota's taxpayers who are here legally. We're tired of being treated like ATMs. We're tired of having our benefits cut so you can throw our money at illegal aliens. This is our state, not their state.

Some of the areas of disagreement continue to be state health care for undocumented immigrants, unemployment insurance for hourly school workers and the governor’s proposal to end all funding for non-public schools.
Mr. Walz's proposal to end all funding for non-public schools shows an anti-religious bias. Think of this. Mr. Walz wants to eliminate "funding for non-public schools" to pay for health care for illegal aliens. PS- they aren't undocumented immigrants. They crossed into the U.S. illegally. That makes them illegal aliens. Period. This time, Democrats need to move towards the GOP. In 2023, the DFL ignored the GOP, which led to the DFL spending the entire $18,000,000,000 projected surplus. That's why we're facing a projected $6,000,000,000 deficit. UPDATE: This is a major admission:

Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy today admitted that they'll likely need a special session to finish the budget. If the DFL doesn't change its position on giveaways to illegal aliens, we'll likely have a government shutdown this summer.

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

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...

Is this Tim Walz's 'One Minnesota'?

Image
Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, testifed last Thursday that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Predictably, Gov. Walz wasn't entirely honest with Tom Emmer during Rep. Emmer's cross-examination of Walz. During Emmer's powerful cross-examination, Gov. Walz insisted that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Keep that in mind while reading this article . First, this article isn't for the faint-of-heart. Next, it's obvious that Gov. Walz isn't comfortable telling the truth. Let's get into the report. Pay particulalr close attention to the dates included in the report. The report opens by saying "A Guatemalan national convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter is now facing federal charges after allegedly dragging a deportation officer down a Bloomington street with his car during a violent immigration arrest attempt. According to a criminal complaint, Roberto Carlos Munoz, 39, was charged with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly we...
