Ro Khanna vs. Maria Bartiromo, SAVE America Act edition

Based on Ben Smith's article, I'd say it'd be kind to say that Rep. Ro Khanna, (D-CA), got his butt kicked by Maria Bartiromo when they debated the SAVE America Act. First, Khanna argued "I don’t think people should have to go get their birth certificates and go to the registrar. We have a system that allows people to vote if they’re citizens. And by the way, if you’re not a citizen and you vote, you should have enormous penalties, consequences. I'm for making sure that we criminally prosecute people who are voting illegally."

FIRST REBUTTAL: How do determine who's a citizen. Here in St. Cloud, MN, lots of Somalis vote legally and speak broken English at best! Giving municipalities the tools is the only way make these vital determinations. Further, when EVERYONE has to produce their birth certificate, charges of racism are meaningless.

Bartiromo wasted little time blasting Khanna. She said "That’s the law. You can't vote if you're not an American citizen. Yes, get your birth certificate. Yes, that's exactly right. I wanted a copy of my birth certificate. I went online, I got the birth certificate. It took a week, no problem." This talking point is worthless. It isn't about ease or difficulty. To Democrats, it's about getting away with fraud.

To those that say there isn't widespread fraud, I'd highlight Mary Franson's race 10 years ago. Rep. Franson won by a single vote. There doesn't need to be widespread fraud. Targeted fraud works just fine for midterm elections. In 2008, Norm Coleman eventually lost by 312 votes when 2,900,000+ votes were cast. That's less than a rounding error.

Rep. Khanna foolishly asked if we wanted married women to get their birth certificates to vote. Here's that exchange:

Bartiromo went online and got her birth certificate in a week. I'm supposed to think that's stressful? I don't think so. Check this interview out:

Rep. Ro Khanna is often charaterized as a moderate. He's nothing of the sort.

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...
