Will Peggy Flanagan continue representing fraudsters?

Image
You can tell quite a bit by the company you keep. In Peggy Flanagan's case, it can be a disqualifier for office. Alpha News reports "As Minnesota’s Department of Human Services struggles to contain a sweeping fraud crisis involving taxpayer-funded programs, one of the state’s top Medicaid officials has another undertaking on his calendar: helping raise campaign cash for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. Dr. Nathan Chomilo serves as medical director for Minnesota’s Medicaid and MinnesotaCare programs, which are now under intense state and federal oversight amid a multibillion-dollar fraud crisis that has unfolded during the Walz-Flanagan administration." According to the article, "on Oct. 1, the money on Chomilo’s agenda won’t be Medicaid dollars. It will be campaign cash for Flanagan. Chomilo is listed as one of six hosts of the Oct. 1 Minneapolis fundraiser for Flanagan’s U.S. Senate campaign." Why shouldn't people of all political persuasions think that this isn...

Amy Klobuchar fights for affordable health care?

Image
According to this Klobuchar tweet , "The next governor must stand up to the White House and stand up for affordable and accessible health care when Minnesotans need it." That made me sick until I read Dustin Grage's reply in the commenmts. He replied "Minnesota had the #1 healthcare program in the country before you voted to destroy it, Amy." This reply nailed Klobuchar HARD: Amy, you totally disregard the mental (and physical) health of girls who have to endure boys invading their sports (cf. the Champlin Park Coeds' "girls" softball championship in 2025). It's an 80-20% issue with Americans, and you're proudly on the wrong side." Now's the time to admit that Amy Klobuchar's popularity isn't earned. It's part of the 'Klobuchar Hustle.' In the Senate, she'd disappear after each election for the next 5 years. When re-election year appeared, 'Everywhere Amy' would appear. Let's stipulate that Sen...

Spineless Amy Klobuchar stays silent on boys in girls' sports

Image
When I first heard about the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing on boys participating in girls' sports, I thought that Sen. Klobuchar would miss the hearing entirely. iwas wrong, though I got it mostly right. This FNC article reports "For most of Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on protecting women's sports, not a single Democratic senator was in attendance. The only two Democrats to show up at all were ranking member Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. Both of them left within the first hour of the hearing and Klobuchar never spoke. The Democrats also did not host a single witness for the hearing." Let's simplify this to the maximum. Sen. Klobuchar HAD TO SHOW UP ! If she didn't, the headlines on Alpha News and Minnesota's conservative blogosphere and Hugh Hewitt's radio program would've reached every square inch of Minnesota. By making a token appearance at the hearing, Sen. Klobuchar hopes that it...

The DFL's latest problem: Ellison vs. Schutz, Jensen vs. Filipovich, Cash on Hand edition

Image
As if the DFL didn't have enough difficulties already, ther DFL just added another . According to the latest Cash on Hand (CoH) report, the DFL is experiencing fundraising/CoH difficulties. The article reports that "Republican candidates for Minnesota attorney general and state auditor lead their Democrat opponents in campaign cash on hand with just weeks to go before the November election. According to newly-filed campaign finance reports, Republican attorney general nominee Ron Schutz had $1.02 million in cash on hand as of Sept. 15. In total, Schutz began this year with $230,365, raised $1.08 million since January, and has spent $297,792 this year." Meanwhile: Meanwhile, DFL Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is seeking a third term, had $634,505 in cash on hand as of Sept. 15. In total, Ellison began 2026 with $274,601, raised nearly $1.3 million during 2026, and has spent $940,089 this year. In the race for Minnesota state auditor, Republican nominee Scott Jensen ha...

Will Amy Klobuchar, Peggy Flanagan and Keith Ellison debate?

Image
On Friday, Oct. 2, KSTP will host primetime statewide debates for the GOP and DFL candidates for governor, U.S. Senator and Minnesota AG. The GOP candidates for those offices have accepted KSTP's invitation. Lisa Demuth, the GOP's gubernatorial candidate, has proposed debating Amy Klobuchar 5 times, including the KSTP-hosted debate plus debates on Almanac, Fox9 News, the Duluth News Tribune/Duluth Chammber debate, and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce-hosted debate. Klobuchar has agreed to the KSTP-hosted debate plus a debate on Minnesota Public Radio, aka MPR. There's a method to Klobuchar's strategy. She's avoiding the Irom Range debate and the business-related debates. Does that mean that she sees economic-related issues and Range-related issues as issues to be avoided? It sounds to me that Sen. Klobuchar sees herself as a flawed candidate who needs to limit her exposure without looking defensive. Speaker Demuth isn't just pushing debates. She's using th...

Keith Ellison: Ron Schutz wants to be Donald Trump's attorney

According to Keith Ellison's latest tweet , "My opponent is running to be Trump’s lawyer. I’m running to make sure you can afford your life. That's what this race is all about." Keith Ellison's own words indicate that Keith isn't interested in preventing billions of dollars of fraud. When you sue people all the time, you raise everyone's prices. When you PROSECUTE FRAUDSTERS , you incentivize fraudsters from committing fraud. Dustin Grage made Ellison regret posting that tweet: The fraudster donated to your campaign. The fraudster testified in court that it was so easy to steal, they felt it was by design. You pardon a child rapists. You defended cop assassins. And you fought to defund the police. You're horrible, Keith. — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) September 22, 2026 Nancy LaRoche torched Ellison: pic.twitter.com/I8gN9capkQ — NLaRoche 🖖 (@nwlaroche) September 22, 2026 An Oldie but Goodie: pic.twitter.com/S29EnbiOMP — Minnesota Lady America First...

Will Lucy Rehm lose a tight race?

Image
In 2022, DFL Rep. Lucy Rehm defeated Greg Boe by 417 votes . In 2024, Rehm defeated Caleb Steffenhagen by 225 votes . This year, Rehm faces a rematch with Steffenhagen. Further, a friend of mine who used to live in CD-2 told me that Chaska and Chanhassen are usually reliable red. That means, I hope, that Rehm is living on borrowed time. According to Steve Schier, Professor Emeritus at Carleton College, fighting fraud is the top issue in Minnesota: Finally, "Rehm opposed removing illegal aliens from a state healthcare program and voted against keeping males out of female sports." I won't be diplomatic. That's just foolish. That's disrespectful to taxpayers. Just for that alone, she deserves to lose.
