Lawrence Jones vs. Jeanne Shaheen, mismatch edition

Jeanne Shaheen, New Hamphshire's Democrat senator, picked the wrong fight with Lawrence Jones Thursday morning. "Fox News’ Lawrence Jones and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) clashed on Thursday over whether Democrats are calling for healthcare for illegal immigrants — and Jones offered tape to back his side up." Sen. Shaheen said that the accusation of Democrats wanting to give illegal aliens free health care is a GOP red herring. Sen. Shaheen said it was just a way to distract attention away from providing health care to Americans.

Sen. Shaheen said "The illegal immigrant is just a red herring that’s designed to try and prevent people from talking about the real issue, which is how do we provide health insurance for people in this country." Shaheen continued, saying "I think you are making it an issue. Vice President Vance is making it an issue, but I haven’t heard anybody in my party saying that illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance market." As soon as she said that, Jones replied "I’m so glad you said that. Actually, I have some tape of your Democratic party members saying this on the debate stage. So they’ve all said, and let’s play the clip":

"Senator, that’s literally every member of your party from moderate to more progressive that have said that in the past. I’ve seen them all on cable," Jones told Shaheen.

The senator made it clear she has never publicly supported that, and that New Hampshire does not provide healthcare for illegal immigrants. "I beg to disagree with you. I have not said that in the past. In New Hampshire, we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants. We have never done that, and you’re just wrong!" Shaheen said. "So the question right now is what are we going to do to ensure that we’re not kicking 24 million Americans, raising their premiums for health insurance, doubling those, and kicking 4 million Americans off of their health insurance."

LJ made a mistake by saying every Democrat have said that they're in favor of illegal aliens getting health care. LJ would've been correct had he said that every Democrat presidential candidate in 2020 raised their hand in favor of giving illegal aliens free government health care.

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 ...
