Amy Klobuchar didn't prioritize public safety

It's obvious to people with brains that Sen. Amy Klobuchar isn't prepared to protect Minnesotans. According to this Alpha News article, MN GOP Chairman Alex Plechash is frequently quoted as being harsh on Sen. Klobuchar on the issue of public safety. For instance, Chairman Plechash said "Public safety is the first responsibility of government. Yet Amy Klobuchar’s campaign website does not list it among her stated priorities. That omission speaks volumes." That's foolish. Hoq do protect the public without hiring police officers or buying ammunition or protective gear. That's a little short-sighted.

Here are Sen. Klobuchar's priorities:

  1. Lower Costs for Minnesotans
  2. Make Government Accountable and Root out Fraud
  3. Prepare Minnesota’s Workforce for the Future
  4. Expand Minnesota’s Rural and Agricultural Economy
  5. Support Conservation and Outdoor Recreation
It's a little short-sighted to pay exclusive attention to pocketbook issues. Ignoring Somali gang violence, whether it's in Minneapolis, Edina, Eden Prairie or Bloomington isn't short-sighted. It's foolish. According to this report, Klobuchar's public safety plan is essentially an assault weapons ban:

We shouldn't trust people who don't take gang violence seriously. Amy Klobuchar hasn't taken public safety seriously, even when she was the Hennepin County Attorney. While Klobuchar's plan is detailed, the tell is that she didn't even list public safety as a "top 5 pr0iority on her campaign website." There's a saying that says "don't tell me what your priorities are. Show me your budget and I'll tell you what your priorities are." If Sen. Klobuchar STATES what her priorities are and public safety isn't listed, believe them the first time. PERIOD!

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...

Joe Biden vs. U.S. Border Patrol Council, Greg Abbott and the Texas National Guard

Image
Joe Biden already was dealing with a catastrophe when it comes to the Tex-Mex border. This afternoon, that mess turned into a catastrophe. That's because the National Border Patrol Council, aka the NBPC, tweeted their support for the "TX NG", aka the Texas National Guard. In their tweet, the NBPC said "Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders. That's fake news. TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other's jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders." The tweet continues, saying "TX NG members realize that rank-and-file BP agents have their orders as well. Lawful orders, no matter how unpopular or distasteful amongst rank-and-file agents, must be followed. Unlawful orders (as determined by competent legal counsel and not what some outhouse lawyer behind a keyboard says) will not be followed." Then the NBPC ...
