Almanac debate, Angie Craig vs. Peggy Flanagan for U.S. Senate edition

Friday night, Rep. Angie Craig and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan sat for questions on Almanac. To say that it was feisty is understatement, especially with all the accusations, counter-accusations, corrections and setting the records (yes, plural) straight. Angie Craig got asked the first feisty question, which was about immigration. She was asked why she voted for President Trump's immigration bill. Craig was the first to mention that she's worked tirelessly on "comprehensive immigration reform."

Conservatives watching or reading that response, feel free to feel ill. We know that phrase is the Democrats' go-to phrase to virtue signal that they care about "undocumented workers. HINT: they aren't undoocumented. They're here illegally. If Rep. Craig wants a chaotic situation, live in Europe. It's getting so bad that they're adopting President Trump's policies. Apparently, even Democrats appreciate tranquility.

Another section of the debate was to see which candidate was the biggest slave to big business. At the end, it wasn't clear which candidate took more PAC money or which candidate was most in the pocket of Corporate America. Let the games begin.

It was an entertaining, informative debate, though it focused more on heat than light. Further, I was disappointed because I didn't get to hear which candidate would propose the most out-of-touch policies. I'd be lying if I said I could tell which candidate won the debate. As such, I think Lt. Gov. Flanagan still leads because she was presumed leading going into Friday night's debate.

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...

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
