The DFL's latest fundraising appeal?

The greater the turmoil, the greater the DFL's unity of purpose. Nothing brings the DFL together faster than school shootings. I know that sounds sick but the DFL's reflex to call for more gun laws is sickening. Immediately after a school shooting, the DFL insists that inanimate objects that can't load or shoot themselves actually shot people. It's utterly amazing how that's possible. But I digress.

The DFL is planning on using the (supposedly) upcoming special session as a fundraiser. Further, I'm hearing that some DFL politicians are planning on offering some amendments to trip up GOP legislators. To that, I say 'Be careful what you strategize for; 2 can play that game.'

GOP Rep. Drew Roach "will be introducing legislation to repeal Minnesota Statute 214.078, which prohibits licensed mental health professionals from providing talk therapy to individuals experiencing questions or struggles related to gender identity." Let's be clear about something. If the DFL doesn't agree to repealing this disgusting law, the House GOP should adjourn sine die after the forum is established.

This is the statement:

Let's compare the 2 political parties. The DFL plans to fundraise off of a mass shooting death. That's pretty sick. The MNGOP plans on using the special session to fix a statute that prohibits mental health professionals from dispensing mental health treatments that aren't approved by the DFL. Let's remember that the DFL was the party of following the science just 5 years ago.
Representative Roach condemned the law as a direct violation of free speech, patient choice, and professional judgment.

"Every Minnesotan deserves the right to seek counseling that respects their values, beliefs, and goals," said Rep. Roach. "This inhumane law silences therapists, denies patients real options, and imposes one political ideology on deeply personal medical decisions. That is not compassion—it is government overreach."

I'm not cxertain but I'm betting that there aren't any pediatric mental health experts in the Minnesota House or Senate. If that's the case, and if that law was passed with as little professional input as most controversial bills got, then I'm predisposed to think that Minnesota Statute 214.078 was rushed through with little input before being rushed to Gov. Walz's desk for signature.

Corrin Hoggard's report:

If the DFL isn't willing to negotiate in good faith, then the Twin Cities media should call the DFL out immediately. If the Twin Cities media won't call the DFL out, then Republicans should call out both the DFL and the Twin Cities media. Pardon the repetition.

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 ...
