MNGOP is normal, DFL proves they aren't

The picture couldn't be more unmistakable. Rep Leigh Finke issued this statement after USA Today picked him as Minnesota's Woman of the Year. In the statement, Finke said "I am extremely honored to be receiving such important recognition as Woman of the Year for Minnesota. I am earnestly grateful for the recognition I have received for my work because it is a direct reflection of the long history of work of woman leaders before me and for those to come. It is a dramatic understatement to say that I am beyond honored to see my name on the list of honorees. As an elected official, I recognize how I got here. The faith that has been put in me by my district, the queer community, and my colleagues at the Capitol has been life-giving. I have faced several challenges on my way here, but each one of them has only strengthened me to make me the powerful woman I am today. I have received inspiration from my peers, colleagues, and communities for whom I have the deepest respect, and from whom I have derived the strength to challenge myself and perform better at each stage. I’ve only begun to fathom how much my life has changed for the better over the past year. It’s only been three months, but I hope to keep this job for a while. I promise I’ll do all I can to improve ALL of our communities."

I'd be embarrassed to be considered for the award, much less winning the award. This award isn't about truth. It's about fantasy.

By comparison, Lisa Demuth, Minnesota's first black female speaker was named to USA Today’s 2025 "Women of the Year" list. Speaker Demuth didn't issue a statement but made some comments:

“Knowing that I had kids in the district and kids that had already graduated, being a part of a community, I think I just saw an opportunity that something needed to be done, and no one else had stepped up. And even though I didn’t feel like I maybe had all the answers, I knew that I would be committed to the job and I would work really hard.

"What I recognized is that I wasn’t going to be able to please everyone, no one can, but trying to make the best decisions with the information at the time that would benefit the most people is what I tried to do on the school board. That definitely then informed the work I have been doing as a legislator now."

Abou Amara, a DFL activist, tried painting Somalis as victims in this interview:

Gov. Walz ignored Somali Medicaid fraud because he needed their votes. Period.

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...

Minnesota Department of Education admits it's corrupt

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...
