Michele Tafoya announces U.S. Senate bid

People from across the political spectrum have speculated whether Michele Tafoya would run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith. This morning, Ms. Tafoya ended that speculation by announcing that she's officially running for Sen. Smith's seat! KSTP reports that Michele Tafoya "announced Wednesday morning that she’s running for the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota that is currently held by Sen. Tina Smith. Smith announced last year that she would not seek reelection."

In a statement, Ms. Tafoya said "I didn’t come to this decision lightly. But I’m not willing to stand on the sidelines while Minnesotans are let down by leaders who refuse to take responsibility. This campaign is about putting people first, not politics as usual." Her videotaped introduction stands out because a) she brings an outsider's voice and an outsider's perspective and b) her positivity is genuine.

I've yet to meet her but I've followed her sports broadcasting career and, lately, Michele's brief career as a political commentator. The thing that's immediately apparent is that she's confident in her message. Check this out:

Peggy Flanagan isn't the answer. She's been part of the problem for years. Angie Craig is supposedly the moderate. She's voted for the American Rescue Plan bill that spent $1,900,000,000,000 and gave us 9.1% inflation. Further, she voted against both of President Trump's middle class tax cuts. In short, Angie Craig isn't a moderate. She's caused more problems than she's solved.

We need a solutions-oriented candidate, not a status quo candidate. Further, it's obvious that Ms. Tafoya is going on the offensive starting immediately

:
"I think Minnesota is in a crisis," Tafoya told CBS Minnesota station WCCO in an exclusive interview. "I think we have a crisis in leadership and I think the career politicians that got us here are not going to get us out."
It's time to get rid of the DFL's career politicians. They've caused problems, not solved them. It's time for common sense leadership. Michele Tafoya is solutions-oriented because she brings common sense to the table.

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?

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...
