Lisa Demuth skewers Amy Klobuchar on fraud

The word is that Minnesota's gubernatorial race isn't a competitive race because Klobuchar's past Senate races weren't that competitive. I once learned a great lesson from NPR Reporter Mara Liasson, who said after the 2006 election that "patterns are patterns until they aren't anymore." This year's gubernatorial fight is significantly different in that Sen. Klobuchar faced underfunded candidates with virtually no name recognition. Lisa Demuth is the Speaker of Minnesota's House and she's armed with plenty of cash. She isn't as well-funded as Sen. Klobuchar but she'll have enough to get her message out. Part of Speaker Demuth's messaage is that Klobuchar doesn't really care about fraud.

To support Speaker Demuth's opinion is the fact "that Klobuchar’s Senate office repeatedly issued press releases addressing other forms of fraud between 2022 and 2025, but a review of 1,000 of her official press-release archive found no release directly addressing or offering solutions to fix Minnesota’s sprawling social-services fraud scandal or Feeding Our Future."

Further, she didn't pay attention to the massive amounts of fraud at the federal level. It isn't like there wasn't tens of billions of dollars in fraud in the federal government. This podcast highlights the disparities between Klobuchar and Demuth:

Fraud is the most-talked-about issue in Minnesota this year. Amy Klobuchar's argument is that she used to be a prosecutor. That's an incomplete, misleading answer. She was the Hennepin County Attorney. She wasn't very good at her job. Speaker Demuth's argument is that she too on fraud and got tough anti-fraud legislation signed into law in a bitterly divided government.

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...
