Keith Ellison's dangerous euphemisms

Keith Ellison, like most DFL activists, utilize lots of euphemisms that make their ideas sound less toxic. This Alpha News article illustrates the DFL's reliance on euphemisms perfectly. It quotes Ellison as saying "Minnesota sued Donald Trump. Donald Trump and Pam Bondi were threatening to sue me. I sued them first because of this issue of them trying to exclude transgender athletes." Notice how smooth that sounds. Who can be against transgender athletes' civil rights, right?

Except that isn't what President Trump was doing. President Trump opposed biological males competing in girls' sports. What AG Ellison intentionally omitted is how parents of teenage girls worry when biological males 'share' a bathroom or lockerroom with these parents' daughters.

To activists like Ellison, these parents' legitimate concerns are irrelevant. Ellison's ideology is the only thing that matters to Ellison and the DFL.

Ellison's other trick:

The two-term Democrat also issued a formal legal opinion this year in which he stated that the Minnesota Human Rights Act establishes a ban on gender identity discrimination in Minnesota, and schools that comply with Trump’s executive action on protecting girls’ sports would be in violation of state law.
Title IX is the federal government's civil rights law. Fifty+ years ago, Title IX was passed to create girls-only sports. Thanks to the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause, federal laws take precedent over state laws. That isn't debatable. That's been settled law since the Constitution's ratification in the 18th Century. This Fox9 news report lays out what's at stake:

If this lawsuit is heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, the ruling will be 6-3 in favor of upholding Title IX and striking down Minnesota's law. Keith Ellison knows that'll be the verdict. He's just suing the Trump administration because a) he's blinded by hatred of President Trump and b) he's pushing this ideology to give other misguided activists a reason to contribute to his next campaign.

Keith Ellison isn't inteerested in protecting teenage girls. That isn't who he is. He's mostly a defense attorney at heart.

Ellison's euphemisms are dangerous. He utilizes them to make toxic ideas sound less toxic.

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?

Image
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...
