Kendall Qualls' strong interview

This morning on At Issue, Tom Hauser interviewed Kendall Qualls in what was a strong, impressive interview for Qualls, the endorsed GOP candidate for governor. During the interview, Hauser asked Qualls whether he approved of the moment of silence for Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. Qualls replied "You know that was not the time for it. If we’re going to do anything, if it was my choice, I would say, ‘Yes, let’s have a moment of silence for fallen officers.’ We’ve had officers targeted across the state from last year, few years, they have a tough job, and I believe actually they’ve been made to be scapegoats the last eight years."

More than a few times, Minneapolis city councilmembers have hung Minneapolis police officers out to dry because it was a great political opportunity for Minneapolis's politicians. It's time that politicians learned how important the police are in determining a city's quality of life is and how important the police are in a city's economy. If a downtown neighborhood is crime-infested, people won't shop there. It isn't a tax increase but money that you didn't plan on spending is still leaving your wallet. Check this out.

After being asked about the Chauvin Moment of Silence, Qualls replied "In the black community, Minnesota is on the list for Wallethub with 1 of the top 10 states biggest black and white wealth gaps in the nation." Whatever Minnesota is doing, they're getting things wrong. The thing that the DFL keeps getting wrong is socialism. The other thing that the DFL keeps getting wrong is its activism. It's time to make Minnesota capitalist again! It's time for the DFL to return to the school of JFK's supply-side tax cuts and putting people, not government, first.

The DFL's governing style is activism and anarchy. It's time the DFL developed a spine. It's time the DFL stopped being soft-on-crime wimps. Amy Klobuchar is part of the Swamp. She isn't part of the solution. For 20 years, she's been part of the problem.

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...

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...
