Latest DFL talking point created

In this article, I quoted Geny Villoa as saying "It is sad to see some people trying to divide us when we should be coming together." It's noteworthy that Villoa is from Somalia, where they've been fighting a civil war since the early 1990s. The last thing I'll do is take advice from a man whose home nation has been fighting a civil war for 35+ years. It's also noteworthy from a political standpoint that "Clergy from across faiths stood together inside a Saint Paul church to condemn a recent social media post by President Donald Trump." Actually, that's more than a little misleading. While it's true that clergy from many denominations are calling for religious people to speak out against Preident Trump, they don't say people of faith are supposed to unite around.

Should we unite around the Christian Bible? Should we unite around Christ's Gospels? Should we unite arounnd Paul's letters to the churches he started in Syria, Greece, Iraq and Europe?

I'm betting that these 'clergy' want people to unite against President Trump rather thnn unite around Paul's letters or the 4 Gospels. This is a political unification, not a Christian or Jewish unification. That's sacrilege, not uniting for a great spiritual good.

Faith leaders say this type of rhetoric is both reckless and dangerous and could have terrible consequences. "Instead of bringing Minnesotans together to find solutions President Trump chose to make sweeping accusations against my Somali American community and telling people to fight back. Fight back against whom. What exactly is the president asking people to do," said Imam Abdulahi Farah.

Farah is a member of Dar-Al Farooq, a mosque in Bloomington that was bombed in 2017. The Department of Justice determined it was an act of domestic terrorism rooted in hatred. Farah said he knows firsthand the consequences of spreading hate.

That's rich coming from the party that impeached President Trump twice for actions that weren't crimes and didn't meet the Constitution's standard for impeachment. That's rich coming from the party that's tried assassinating President Trump 3 times thus far. The DFL, aka these 'clergy', didn't try coming together this time:

Where are the Democrats' standards for decency? Did the DFL/DSA/DNC abandon all standards of decency? This is just the most recent DFL political trick. Actually, it's a retread chanting point. Dan Wolgamott used a similar line 6-8 years age. It's a nice line. When the DFL says it, though, it's just BS.

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 ...
