KSTP to host debates tonight; will DFL show their privilege?

It's pretty obvious that the DFL's major statewide candidates won't strike fear in people's hearts when it comes to debating. Let's be undiplomatic about tonight's scheduled KSTP debates. KSTP reports that "Next Friday, Oct. 2, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS will host primetime statewide debates focused on the races for Governor, Senate, and Attorney General. Invitations were sent out after the primaries, and 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS continues to speak with the campaigns. So far, Lisa Demuth, Michele Tafoya and Ron Schutz have confirmed plans to appear."

Confident candidates can't wait to debate their opponents. In 2024, President Trump couldn't wait to debate Joe Biden. That turned into the biggest debate bloodbath in political history, even surpassing Reagan's thumping of Jimmy Carter. Then, too, Carter still had a functioning brain. Biden didn't. But I digress.

There's a strategy to the DFL's skipping of debates. Klobuchar is the only DFL candidate who's accepted the invitation to debate her opponent on TV. That debate isn't until Wed., Oct. 21. By then, most of the early voting will have happened. The DFL candidates who've 'applied' for job promotions have told We The People that their DFL Privilege entitles them to the promotion without appearing for the job interview. That's the worst type of privilege. Getting promotions that you haven't worked for or, for that matter, earned is entitlement inbold letters.

We The People have the right to intervene in this matter. Personally, I won't vote for candidates that feel that they're ENTITLED to a promotion without appearing for the job interview? Larry Jacobs has a jaded pperspective on debates:

Larry Jacobs of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota says the reluctance to debate is all part of a calculated attempt to avoid tough questions and potential mistakes. He says each debate decision comes down to one thing: "Strategy. Who is it going to help. Who is it going to hurt?"
That's spoken like a member of the establishment. Look at the disfunctional government we've had for the past 8 years. We've been 'blessed' with billions of dollars of fraud, a failing education system, companies leaving Minnesota and a bleak economic future:

If the DFL doesn't change to a capitalist prty, little will be left of the party that Hubert Humphrey built.

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 ...
