Ken Martin asks if we're better off today than Jan. 19, 2025

With prices dropping and the border secure, DNC Chair Ken Martin foolishly asked "do you honestly feel better off today than you were at the beginning of the year?" What a foolish question. Speaking for myself, the answer is a resounding 'Definitely.' First, grocery prices have kept dropping, especially eggs, vegetables and healthy snacks. As a senior citizen living on a fixed income, I've had more money left at the end of each month since President Trump took office than I had during the last 2 years of Bidenflation/Bidenomics.

That's just part of the story, though. Since taking office, President Trump has brought home hostages at a faster rate than Joe Biden could've imagined possible. Further, Trump stopped the ilegal alien inmigration invasion dead in its tracks. These days, the invasion is finished.

Federal authorities have started prosecuting Medicaid fraud, especially in Minnesota, where fraud is running rampant. Meanwhile, Democrats can't decide whether they thoroughly hate Israel or whether they'll tolerate Israel's existence:

Martin asked how much time President Trump spent thinking about the economy. Considering all of the historic trade deals he's negotiated, I'd argue he's thought quite a bit about the economy. Further, he's slowy-but-surely started cleaning up Joe Biden's messes in Israel and Ukraine. Biden especially screwed up Ukraine. Remember this?

Biden spoke about Putin splitting NATO. Back in April, Trump persuaded NATO nations to each pay 5% of their GDP into arming themselves and Ukraine. Biden couldn't have done that in a million years. Further, President Trump negotiated a fair trade deal with the EU. Part of that agreement includes a provision where the EU buys $750,000,000,000 worth of U.S. energy. That's a positive step for the U.S. econmy but it also reduces Russia's energy revenue.

Why didn't Biden msake such a deal? Is it because he wasn't paying attention to international treaties? Of was Biden too infatuated with global warming to see things clearly?

Finally, having a fully functioning president making deal after deal from the Oval Office, Saudi Arabia or at the NATO Summit is infinitely better than having the equivalent of the 'Weekend St Bernie's President'. What a foolish question to ask.

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...
