Alex Padilla's impossible fight

I was just taking a swing through my Twitter timeline when I found this tweet from Sen. Alex Padilla. It said "Republicans have permanently blown up the rules of the Senate to jam through Trump's unqualified nominees. Congress is supposed to be a check on the Executive Branch, not a rubber stamp. We won’t forget it."

Let's examine the trustworthiness of Sen. Padilla's claim that President Trump's nominees are unqualified. Let's start with Pam Bondi. Let's compare her with Merrick Garland, who classified parents as domestic terrorists without a bit of evidence. By comparison, AG Bondi is prosecuting criminal aliens who’ve committed violent crimes.

Kristi Noem-Alejandro Mayorkas

Mayorkas was impeached for lying to Congress. He told the House Judiciary Committee that the border was secure while approximately 10,000,000 illegal aliens illegally crossed the border. Secretary Noem has teamed with Border Czar Tom Homan to shut the border.

Scott Bessent-Janet Yellen

Yellen insisted that inflation was "transitory" when inflation was climbing from 2.5% to 9.1%. If Democrats want to fight that battle that Yellen is competent, that's a fight Republicans should accept. As for Sen. Padilla, his claim that Trump's nominees are historically bad, Senate Majority Leader Thune has something to ask him:

If these nominees aren't qualified, why are so many of President Trump's nominees getting strong bipartisan support in committees? Are Democrats conspiring with Trump to fill Trump's administration with unqualified people? It's obvious that Sen. Thune exposed Sen. Schumer and Sen. Padilla as cheap partisan hacks. Padilla's original tweet:

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 ...

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...
