DFL affordability storyline takes major hit

The DFL has whined about how President Trump has driven up utility prices with his "war of choice" with Iran. What's aggravating is that utility prices have risen since late in Obama's term in office when he startedd the original war on fossil fuels. Gov. Walz and the DFL extended that war when the DFL Trifecta passed the Blackout Bill early in the 2023 session. This KSTP report doesn't explain why prices are rising. It reports "Minnesota regulators are gathering public input as they investigate whether utility bills are still affordable for families, farmers, and businesses. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission launched the review through three public meetings, where Minnesotans weighed in on rising energy costs. The commission will send the feedback and written public comments to state lawmakers."

The affordability crisis was caused by the DFL Trifecta. Period. The DFL's affordability campaign is a joke. In fact, it isn't that funny of a joke. Demlocrat affordability?

People are figuring things out that the Democrats' affordabiliity 'plan' is just a new name for the Democrats' ancient agenda of tax-the-rich and spend like a drunken sailor. Green energy requires tons of subsidies, aka tax hikes. That's the opposite of affordability.

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...

Minnesota loses another major business opportunity

Image
If I wsa advising Lisa Demuth's campaign, one of the first things I'd do at Friday night's debate is highlight how "a Minnesota-based company belonging to the Indian conglomerate Essar Group" is building "a major steel plant" in "southeast Iowa's Lee County." According to this Iowa Public Radio article , "President Donald Trump on Monday announced an $18 billion investment in a fully integrated American steel system, including a major steel plant coming to southeast Iowa's Lee County. The $15 billion plant will be built by Mesabi Metallics, a Minnesota-based company belonging to the Indian conglomerate Essar Group. The other $3 billion will help complete Mesabi’s new mine in Minnesota’s Iron Range, which will supply iron ore to the Iowa steel plant. Gov. Tim Walz insists that Minnesota is one of the best places to build a business or raise a family. This isn't Minnesota's initial embarrassment. In Sept, 2025, KARE11 repor...
