Graham Platner's grave, Ro Khanna's moderate reputation

Apparently, Democrats are willing to fight for Graham Platner to the Nth Degree. Even so-called 'moderate' Ro Khanna is willing to campaign with Platner. The Washington Post, among other publications, reports that "The rally with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-California) and other Democratic candidates at a theater in this resort town comes as Platner battles a spate of tough news accounts of his past and as a few Democrats in Washington have begun publicly suggesting he is not the right person to try to oust Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a race that is crucial to Democrats’ bid to flip the Senate."

Platner isn't just battling "a spate of tough news accounts of his past." He's battling "a spate of tough" truths from his past which his accusers have texts for. It's one thing to make accusations. It's another to have the receipts to verify the statements. The most dangerous thing a politician can meet is a constituent bearing accusations that they have the receipts for.

As for Ro Khanna's participation in this rally, Khanna said "Khanna said that Platner has shown redemption. When asked whether Platner should go further and apologize to the women, Khanna agreed. 'I think he should apologize. I believe what he did was wrong, was misogynistic, was toxic or volatile,' he said in a brief interview with NBC News. 'I know he’s ashamed of it and I certainly think it would be appropriate to apologize and say how he now understands why it’s important to stand up to a misogynistic culture.'" Check this out:

That's stunning. Rep. Khanna insists that "Platner has shown redemption" even though he's saying that many of these stories are unsubstantiated. You can't say that you've asked for redemption while denying something didn't happen. That fits together like round pegs and square holes.

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...
