DFL tugs at heartstrings, offers same set of 'solutions'

If I've heard it once, I've heard it 1,000 times. Albert Einstein once famously said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. When it comes to school shootings, the DFL's approach remains the same. The DFL's approach doesn't change. Strip law-abiding citizens of their God-given rights, give criminals a slap on the wrist. That's if they get prosecuted. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Tim Walz is yapping about calling another special session, this time to supposedly prevent gun violence. This is different only in that we've never tried passing gun laws in special sessions before. Otherwise, the script remains the same. They make Einstein look prophetic.

Thankfully, House Republicans have flipped the script. According to Fox9's reporting, "Minnesota Republicans shared their provisions for school safety measures in the state." I wrote here that the DFL, either the legislature or Gov. Walz, refused to appropriate funds for non-public school students. This is what happened:

The letter was written by MINNDEPENDENT president Tim Benz and Minnesota Catholic Conference (MCC) executive director Jason Adkins.
They wrote their letter to Gov. Walz and Lt. Gov. Flanagan. This is what they wrote:
"We are writing on behalf of our respective organizations regarding the urgent and critical need in Minnesota to make sure our schools are secure and safe considering the most recent, and continuing attacks, on our schools in this country and in our state."
Gov. Walz and Lt. Gov. Flanagan didn't act on their letter. That isn't surprising. Gov. Walz and Lt. Gov. Flanagan hate non-public schools. This year's GOP stopped all that.

They got creative. This year's GOP have pushed back hard. In case nobody's noticed, the DFL have ramped up the PR campaign in an attempt to get this year's package across the finish line. From parents of children involved in the Annunciation shooting to big city mayors to U.S. senators, they've all demanded additional gun control laws get passed. Speaker Demuth gets credit, along with leadership team, for putting together a substantive plan that will work if it's given a chance. Speaker Demuth explains the GOP plan to WCCO:

The DFL uses parents to ramp up pressure on GOP:

It's time the GOP ripped a page out of the DFL's playbook. It's time for the GOP to go on offense and stay on offense. It's time to prove that our ideas work and that the DFL's ideas fail. To the GOP: Carpe Diem. Seize the day!

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 ...
