Sheriff Kyle Burton vs. Keith Ellison, ICE edition

Mille Lacs County Sheriff Kyle Burton has drawn a line in the sand on immigration. That makes Sheriff Burton Keith Ellison's opponent on immigration. This started when "Sheriff Burton is one of just seven sheriffs in Minnesota who are involved in the program, known as the 287(g) Program, which allows law enforcement agencies to assist ICE in identifying people for arrest and potential deportation."

"I signed the agreement with ICE back in April. My agency entered into the task force model. It’s not fully operational yet. The reason that we joined the task force, or that I felt it was necessary for us to do that, if nothing else, it’s a deterrent. If there are violent criminal illegal aliens that are perhaps intent on setting up shop here in my county to do nefarious things, perhaps the fact that we’ve got 14 287(g) task force officers in a small county like this would be a deterrent to maybe not do so."

Minnesota is essentially sanctuary state. This is a big step for a small sheriff. Meet the man who stood up to Keith Ellison:

It's great to see Minnesotans standing up to Ellison and Walz.

Tim Walz's hostile work environment at DHS

Image
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...

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 ...
