Special Report: Amy Klobuchar's temper flares again

During Sen. Klobuchar's presidential run in 2020, the national media took note of Sen. Klobuchar's temper and the hostile work environment her office represented. Thanks to Michelle Griffith's reporting for the Minnesota Reformer, we now know that Sen. Klobuchar's temper is still intact.

Ms. Griffith reported "While backstage at the Democratic-Farmer-Labor convention Friday night, Sen. Amy Klobuchar loudly declared her frustration and said she was going to abandon the convention after delegates nominated a 26-year-old progressive activist as an alternative to Klobuchar for Minnesota governor, according to two people who overheard the senator’s remarks. The two DFL activists were granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about what they witnessed backstage and fear reprisals from the Klobuchar camp."

The Queen's Coronation?

Going into Friday night at the DFL Convention, I'd heard that Sen. Klobuchar was expecting a DFL coronation at the convention. When Sen. Klobuchar got challenged, Sen. Klobuchar lost her temper.

MONEY QUOTE:
But that came after something of a scare, when DFL activists nominated Kobey Layne, a former Minnesota legislative assistant who said that Klobuchar’s candidacy was “the coronation of yet another corporate Democrat."

Klobuchar expressed outrage to her staff and said that she was going to forgo the convention rather than go through additional speeches and a Q&A, according to the sources, who could clearly hear what she was saying while backstage.

Talk about white privilege! That's pretty stunning. Which face will Sen. Klobuchar speak with next? Most importantly, does Sen. Klobuchar have the right temperament for being Minnesota's CEO? I must question that because she hasn't chief-authored any major legislation in 20 years of being in the U.S. Senate. For someone supposedly with that much skill, that's pretty pathetic. I don't want a governor who sits on the sidelines most of the time, then chimes in only when it's required.

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...

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...
