Keith Ellison, First Amendment illiterate

.,/pIt's painfully obvious that Keith Ellison isn't a man of integrity. During Thursday's hearing, Ellison tried dodging criticism by telling people that they'd gotten the story wrong, that things hadn't happened that way. In replying to Sen. Moreno, AG Ellison intentionally dodged a question about a murder victim by trying to say he's prosecuted criminals. The question wasn't whether he'd prosecuted criminals. The question was whether he'd prosecuted the person who'd allegedly murdered a specific young woman.

The article opens, saying "Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison found himself in the hot seat Thursday as Republican senators accused him of encouraging people to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, emboldening anti-ICE activists, and maintaining troubling ties to individuals later charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme." Sen. Ron Johnson "accused Ellison of encouraging 'trained activists to put themselves in harm’s way to impede law enforcement' and pressed him about anti-ICE activists using Signal chats to coordinate actions during federal immigration operations." This is Ellison's response:

During his crossexamination, Ellison insisted that deploying activists to disrupt legal ICE enforcement activities i protected by the First Amendment. That's a warped view of the First Amendment. The First Amendment protects peaceful protests. It doesn't protect people disrupting arrests.
Johnson responded by accusing Ellison of encouraging activists to interfere with law enforcement: "You encouraged trained activists to put themselves in harm’s way to impede law enforcement … does that concern you?"

Ellison denied the allegation: "That never happened. We at all times said if you want to protest, protest peacefully, protest safely."

That's an outright lie from Ellison. Renee Good PARKED HER SUV in the middle of the street. No only that but she parked it at an angle across the street. That isn't how you "protest peacefully, protest safely." Keith Ellison isn't illiterate. He's justing the First Amendment.

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

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...

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...
