An open letter to the Republican Party of Minnesota Establishment

After reading this USA Today article by Nicole Russell, I was reminded of an old (almost ancient) article by NRO's Jim Geraghty about the importance of campaign cash. In 2010, when the GOP picked up 63 seats in the U.S. House, 12 of 15 best-funded Democrats lost. The lesson wasn't that campaign cash isn't important. It's that Democrats had to run with a millstone tied around their necks. That millstone was then called the Affordable Care Act. These days, it's getting called the UNAffordable Care Act.

These days in Minnesota, that millstone is titled Tim Walz. The difference between 2010 and 2026 is that Gov. Walz has a rock-solid base known as the Somalis. They'll stick with Walz through thick and even thicker yet. What's required this year to defeat Gov. Walz is a combination of solutions, ledership and personality/likeability.

If we want to defeat Gov. Walz this year, and I want that badly, we'll need the party to unite around a candidate who isn't from the establishment. I don't say that with ANY animus. It's said after watching one establishment candidate get defeated after another. I simply want to win. In fact, we need to win to save Minnesota from the DFL's crazed activists.

I'm biased because I'm Councilman Jeff Johnson's campaign manager. Still, Jeff is an outsider, is a natural-born leader, is solutions-oriented and is relatable to the average blue collar/middle class voter.

It's time to end this losing streak. We've tried it with establishment candidates at the top of the ticket and lost. It's time to endorse an outsider, a fighter with a proven track record of winning. This guy:

Simply put, it's time for you to meet Jeff. It's time for you to meet Minnesota's next great governor. PS-Jeff isn't just another pretty face. At the height of the fight over Jeff's proposed temporary ban on primary refugee resettlement, Jeff was invited to participate in a discussion about primary resettlement at the prestigious Center for Immigration Studies, aka CIS, in Washington, DC:

Despite being called a racist and Islamophobe by CAIR-MN, Jeff eventually won his fight to get quarterly briefings on primry resettlement. BTW, During that fight, Jeff went toe-to-toe with Jodi Harpstead, then the leader of Lutheran Social Services. Harpstead then became the commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Human Services, where Harpstead supervised 5+ years of Medicaid fraud.

Jeff has the talent and toughness to solve Minnesota's most difficult problems. Isn't it time we tried something different? Somehing different like winning for a change?

Minnesota fraud gets national attention

Image
The Walz administration is getting nationwide attention, though it isn't the type of attention political administrations typically seek. Sohrab Ahmari didn't bury the lede when he wrote "There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland." Imagine the Outrage If... Imagine the outrage if "Hassan and her alleged co-conspirators recruited Somali parents’ children into autism therapy services — even if a child did not have an autism diagnosis — facilitating fraudulent claims. Parents reportedly received monthly kickbacks ranging from $300 to $1,500 per child, with some allegedly threatening to go to other fraud networks unless their rates were increased." It doesn't end there: Sure enough, both the number of autism providers and the rate of diagnosis have ballooned, with Somali activists insi...

Jaylani Hussein's phobia of whites?

Image
A frequent reader of this blog sent me a picture showing gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson surrounded by Somalis following a November 2017 St. Cloud City Council meeting. This is that picture: Recently, a different frequent reader of this blog sent me a letter highlighting Jaylani Hussein's paranoia of white people: We are asking every member of our community to stay vigilant. If you see threats, harassment, or hateful content online, especially targeting Somali or Muslim communities in Minnesota, please report them immediately to CAIR-Minnesota and local authorities. We are tracking these developments closely. What’s happening: Our community is under coordinated attack In the last 48 hours, former President Donald Trump announced that he will immediately end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants in Minnesota, a move that could tear families apart and send people back to a country they haven’t seen in decades. He justified this dangerous decision using false, I...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
