DFL soft-on-crime agenda is showing

Imagine your teenage son or daughter was killed by a hit-and-run driver. Next, imagine the police or highway patrol catching the person who committed the crime. At long last, you sense little justice is heading in you direction. It doesn't take away the pain, of course, but it's something. Imagine how you'd feel if the judge gave the criminal a light sentence. You don't have to imagine it. It just happened.

Alpha News reported "More than two years after 19-year-old Carter Haithcock was struck, killed and left on the side of a northern Minnesota highway, the former Democratic Party leader who admitted leaving the scene was sentenced to less than a year in jail on Monday." That's the personification of lenient. In fact, it's disturbingly less than lenient.

Alpha News also reported that "Cynthia 'Cyndy' Martin, the former chair of the 8th Congressional District DFL, received the sentence outlined in her plea agreement: 364 days in jail, five years of supervised probation, 100 hours of community service, a $1,085 fine, a substance abuse assessment and a psychological evaluation." That woman has a substance abuse problem. This isn't a matter of 'she might have a problem.' It's a matter of 'she has a problem.'

The DFL appears to have a aystem worked out with criminal courts. Look at the sentences for Dan Wolgamott, this woman and Nicole Mitchell. Nicole Mitchell served half a year for felony burglary. Dan Wolgamott was given two years of supervised probation with a stayed sentence of 45 days in jail "after pleading guilty to DWI earlier this year." Wolgamott "was sentenced for a misdemeanor conviction on Monday." Further, his record will be expunged if he stays clean for that short amount of time.

Why won't judges sentence DFL politicians and DFL officials to a full year in jail or prison for serious crimes? Is it because the laws are that loose? If yes, why won't the DFL legislature pass stricter mandatory sentences? Ask yourself if "two years of supervised probation with a stayed sentence of 45 days in jail" is enough for doing this:

Take a look at the amount of alcohol Wolgamott consumes. That isn't just a little sip. That's a healthy slug of alcohol. If the DFL won't get tough on crime, it's time to fire the DFL en masse. DWI, Hit-and-run vehicular maslaughter. Felony burglary. These are serious crimes. It's time for to take this seriously.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

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...
