Brian O'Hara is fired, then replaced by Katie Blackwell, who was then replaced by Bill Peterson

It doesn't require Elon Musk to figure out why Sen. Klobuchar picked the former mmayor of Fergus Falls as her running mate instead of picking Jacob Frey. According to Alpha News's reporting, "Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced Tuesday that First Precinct Inspector Bill Peterson will serve as interim chief of the police department following the resignation of former Chief Brian O’Hara." In between Peterson's failure and O'Hara's firing, "Frey said in an email to the police department that Assistant Chief Katie Blackwell would serve as acting chief effective immediately."

In the letter, Frey wrote "I am confident in her ability to provide steady leadership for the department moving forward." The question now isn't whether Frey had confidence in Blackwell's leadership abilities. The question now should be whether people should have confidence in Frey's ability to pick and develop talent. I think he's sorely lacking in those departments

Mayor Frey IS SKILLED at world class tapdancing/happy talk. Check Frey's BS out:

Now, just a week later, Mayor Frey has named Peterson as interim chief, saying he is "the right leader for this moment."

"He’s spent three decades serving Minneapolis, he’s earned the respect of officers across the department, and he understands that trust with the people of Minneapolis is paramount. Bill understands that trust is earned, and he has established a reputation of working every day to earn it," the mayor said.

He thanked Blackwell for "stepping in at a critical time and providing strong leadership for the department over the past week."

What leadership? She was there a week. Based on this interview, I'd argue that Frey isn't a leader:

It isn't surprising that Minneapolis is losing people.

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...
