Donald Trump picks a fight in TX

Image
Dustin Grage reports "Again, Ken Paxton was never in any real danger of losing in November. Now, MAGA Inc. has come in with a $10 million ad reservation to ensure this seat stays in Republican hands. The NRSC should be throwing money at this seat as well. But if they don’t have to, I hope they use those resources to expand the map. Michigan and Minnesota are in play." Michigan and Minnesota are in play, almost to the point where I'd move them from leans Democrat to toss-up. I won't go farther than that YET but Democrats have lost their momentum in both states.

The DFL's 'No New Ideas' Agenda

Image
If it's Friday night, I'll be watching Almanac so you don't have to (though I hope you do.) After last night, though, and having to watch DFL Chair Richard Carlbom, you owe me bigtime. Chair Carlbom is a major windbag who apparently didn't learn how to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Apparently, he's fine with telling parts of the truth most of the time but telling THE WHOLE TRUTH all of the time is a foreign concept to him. I got the impression that he knew had an uphill fight selling a status quo set of candidates in a change elecction. Follow the link above, then click the watch icon to view the entire program. To watch the 'Chair's Roundtable', scroll forward to th 41:00 mark. Watch that entire segment. Count how often Chair Carlbom mentioned Sen. Klobuchar. Then count how few times he mentioned Lt. Gov. Fraudigan and AG Keith Ellison. Then, count how many times he mentions Trump's name. Trump and Klobuchar are names ...

How radicalized is Keith Ellison?

Image
After reading this Alpha News report , there's NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER that Keith Ellison's Attorney General's Office has been radicalized to the point of being fully anti-American and anti-Constitution. According to the article, "Employees in Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office who registered for a May 2025 'Transgender 101' webinar were told to 'be alert to colleagues who are intolerant' and 'deal with' them 'immediately,' according to documents obtained by Alpha News." Apparently, Minnesota's Attirney General's Office (AGO) thinks that it's their business to interfere in families' lives. In the documentation, it's said that "the training is designed to help legal professionals understand how to make 'a transgender person feel welcomed and accepted' and address the challenges that 'exist with trans people and their families who interact with the legal system.'" This is as w...

Sue Ek-Zach Dorholt debate recap

Image
Monday night, Sue Ek and Zach Dorholt debated the major issues from the studios of KVSC on the St. Cloud State campus. One of the major topics discussed was education funding . Squarely put Dorholt in the more-money-status-quo category. According to the recap article, "Dorholt said Minnesota needs to make sure schools have enough money to serve students . Dorholt said, 'The state needs to set up and fund these mandates.' He said special education and English language services are example areas where schools can face additional costs. He also talked about housing instability among students. District 742 estimates that hundreds of families could experience housing instability this school year." These are separate issues. State government mandating specific programs force school districts to use money in specific ways rather than using money in ways that best help students. This leads to a one-size-fits-all system that fails students. Sue Ek, by comparison, "focuse...

Alpha News gets under legacy media's skin by reporting FACTS!

Image
It's obvious that Alpha News is getting under the legacy media's skin, especially under the Minnesota Star Tribune's skin. Part of what's getting underneath these media outlets' skin is the fact that Alpha News is reporting on things that WCCO-TV and the Minnesota Star Tribune won't report on. For instance, Alpha News reported on a controversial art piece . Rather than report on the 'art', the Star Tribune and Bring Me the News "described Alpha News not as a news organization but as a “conservative website” — a label that tells readers less about the reporting than about the box they would prefer to keep Alpha News in." The irony is that the Star Tribune is part of the Twin Cities' DFL protection media. They didn't report on the 8647 story. Instead, they reported on the newspaper that reported the story. That's what you do when you're protecting the DFL. Frankly, Bring Me the News fits into the inconsequential category. Let'...

The DFL-MNGOP fundraising gap is shrinking

Image
The minute the MNGOP started recruiting great candidates, GOP fundraising improved. This isn't that surprising. It's been that way forever. Now that the GOP has recruited their best set of statewide candidates since 2002, the DFL is getting worried . Dustin Grage's tweet captures the DFL's frame of mind perfectly: It’s honestly hilarious how enraged Minnesota Democrats are about billionaires getting involved and funding our campaigns. As if they haven’t had billionaires funding their campaigns at even higher levels for the last decade. They’re just upset that Minnesota Republicans… — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) August 31, 2026 This nails it: It’s honestly hilarious how enraged Minnesota Democrats are about billionaires getting involved and funding our campaigns. As if they haven’t had billionaires funding their campaigns at even higher levels for the last decade. The DFL is for protecting democracy -- as long as they're running the show. That isn't statesmanshi...
