Open letter to Keith Ellison

Last week, I wrote this article about Keith Ellison disrespecting the military. He disrespected the military by showing disinterest in the arrival of an Honor Flight at Reagan National Airport on Sept. 26. Almost a month after the incident and almost a week after the incident was report, AG Ellison responded to the article.

Ellison's response was classic Ellison. Ellison said "Let me just say, the idea that I don’t support veterans is ridiculous. It’s untrue. It’s a lie. Now look, that day, there were 10 or 11 different veterans that came off. I clapped for like all of them.Then I got a call from my office and I answered the phone. And so I might not have been able to see that one that they caught me where I was attending to work-related business."

In this video, there wasn't footage of Ellison getting a "call from my office." In this video, what happened is pretty straightforward:

Ellison said "I clapped for like all of them." What do your eyes tell you about this? It suggests that AG Ellison isn't telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This is the final insult:
"It's too bad we have to talk about it because I clapped for every veteran that came out, then I got a call and I had to pick up that call. And so here we are talking about something that really is a non-story. Really, it’s a non-story."
That sounds like Ellison is telling us what to think. Here in the land of the First Amendment, We The People determine what's a story and what isn't a story.

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 ...
