Texas Democrats copy Minnesota House Democrats

Back at the start of the Minnesota State House regular session, DFL legislators held a secret, private swearing in ceremony. Then they skipped the first 23 days of the legislative session.

Apparently, Texas Democrats think that copying Minnesota's DFL legislators is a wise thing to do. HINT: It's a foolish stunt. In the not-that-distant future, Texas Republicans will get their way. Texas Democrats will have to pay massive fines in addition to returning and restoring a legislative quorum. (Sorry, Beto, but you can't use your Powered By People money to pay these fleebagging Democrats' hotel and lodging bills. It's illegal.)

Of course, a circus isn't a circus without a clown. Thanks to Ken Martin's presence, that clown just arrived. Of course, Texas Democrats' argument is that they're saving democracy. That's a pile of BS. Texas Republicans are just fighting back against California Democrats, Illinois Democrats and New York Democrats. In fact, what Republicans are doing in Texas isn’t gerrymandering. Thia is Illinois:

Now that's gerrymandering. Ken, what word would you use to describe what Democrats did to the most recent redistricting map? Were Illinois Democrats attempting to draw a competitive redistricting map that'sa fair to Republicans and Democrats? Or were you trying to use redistricting to win back a majority in the U.S. House? You don't have to answer. That was a rhetorical question.

Finally, it;s rich that Chairman Martin said that Texas Republicans were trying to prevent the Texas legislature from funding the families who went through the Independence Day flood earlier this summer. Passing emergency support for flkood victims is part of this special session's agenda. It's Martin's Democrats that are acting like heartless bastards. It's Democrats that are the ones who left Texas before passing flood relief.

It's just a matter of time before Democratas return to Texas from California, Illinois and NY State. When that happens, the flood relief package will get passed and the redistricting map qwill pass, too. It's that simple.

    There's a famous saying about Texas: "Don't mess with Texas". Texas legislature only meets regularly every odd year. Texas is red by 8-15 points. I expect Greg Abbot to win by 13-15 points next year. Texas legislature, specifically the Texas House is filled GOP swamp rats, who did a witch hunt on Ken Paxton the last couple of years. I predict Ken Paxton beats John Cornyn in the GOP primary for the US Senate next year and thus becomes the next US Senator for Texas.

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...

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...

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 ...
