Today, Rep. Angie Craig, (DFL-MN2), announced that she's running for the open Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Tina Smith , who is retiring at the end of her term. Rep. Craig faces an uphill fight, facing off against Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and former State Senate Minority Leader Melisa López Franzen in the DFL primary. At this point, she's probably leading Franzen and trailing Lt. Gov. Flanagan. With Rep. Craig running for Senate, that opens her congressional seat. That being said, Craig won this seat handily in 2024. NBC is reporting "Flanagan, who would be the first Native American woman in the Senate if she wins, immediately signaled after Smith's retirement that she would run to replace her." Later, NBC reported "Ahead of Craig's expected announcement, Flanagan rolled out a handful of endorsements from key Democrats in the state, like Attorney General Keith Ellison and former Sen. Al Franken (who resigned in 2017 amid allegations of sexual misconduc...

In one GOP legislative update after GOP legislative update, each has highlighted the DFL's 'free' health care for illegal aliens. Rep. Mary Franson highlighted the program in this legislative update , saying "Last year, they expanded MinnesotaCare to cover this population, promising it would serve 7,700 people at a cost of $196 million. Now, after months of House Republicans demanding transparency, the truth is out. Enrollment has jumped to over 17,000, and the price tag has exploded to more than $550 million. That entire cost is coming straight from Minnesota taxpayers because illegal immigrants do not qualify for federal support." This was the DFL's highest priority other than establishing Minnesota as a trans-refuge state. The DFL wouldn't be in this position if they hadn't spent the entire projected surplus. If the DFL had been a bit more restrained, Minnesota wouldn't be facing a major deficit. Frankly, Gov. Walz and the DFL are prioritizing...

Apparently, the media hasn't told us about the workings of the White House. I'm not talking the media's cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline, either. I'm talking about the bitter feud between Joe Biden and Barack Obama. The Washington Free Beacon is reporting that there's a major feud between Barack Obama and Joe Biden. According to the Beacon's reporting, "Years later, Trump's odds of becoming president would dramatically increase when Obama tapped Hillary Clinton, one of the worst politicians (and least likable human beings) in American history, as his heir apparent" In an earlier instance of poor judgment, Obama had picked Joe Biden as his running mate because, among other reasons, he thought Biden was too old and unambitious to consider running for president again. " Biden never forgave Obama for anointing Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee ," writes journalist Chris Whipple, author of Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Har...

When Tim Walz first ran for governor, he ran with the slogan "One Minnesota." If he runs for a third term as governor, he should eliminate his "One " slogan. This Stanley Kurtz article highlights how radical Gov. Walz has become. In the article, Kurtz wrote about Brian Lozenski,he's sai Macalester College professor of urban and multicultural education. First, let's correct something about multiculturalism. We aren't multicultural. We're multi-ethnic. Next, about Lozenski, he's said some radical things while teaching at Macalester. Kurtz wrote an article titled Walz Education Appointee Calls for the Overthrow of the U.S. Prof. Lozenski is as divisive a figure as we'll find. That's before talking about Mary Moriarty, DFL Hennepin County Attorney. Moriarty is implementing a 2-tiered injusticevans system. THen there's Gov. Walz himself. This past week, Gov. Walz spent most of his time criticizing President Trump and Elon Musk. At the s...

Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth issued this statement about the looming deficit, explaining how expensive 'free' health care is. In this release, Speaker Demuth explained "The Minnesota Department of Health indicates 17,396 people in the state illegally are now enrolled in the state-funded health insurance program, more than twice the original forecast of 7,700. Demuth said the data was not made publicly available and only came to light after persistent inquiries by House Republicans." Where it says "state-funded health insurance,"it means'taxpayer-funded health insurancew'. Republicans should refuse to fund this program. We're sitting on the verge of a projected $6,000,000,000 deficit. We cGov. Walzn't afford these extravagant, unaffordable programs. Further, Govv. Walz needs to learn that taxpayers aren't ATMs. Later in Speaker Demuth's statement, she wrote "Unlike traditional MinnesotaCare recipients, Demuth indicated peop...

Republican Speaker Lisa Demuth said a few nice things about Tim Walz's State of the State address while criticizing Gov. Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor. In her stateement, Speaker Demuth said "The governor issued his annual State of the State speech on Wednesday. I am pleased with a couple of acknowledgements he made, such as the $6 billion deficit we now face after Democrats in full control of the Capitol the last two years spent our $18 billion surplus and increased state spending by 40 percent." Even while Speaker Demuth expressed gratitude, Speaker Demuth still reminded Minnesotans that Gov. Walz turned a projected $18,000,000,000 surplus into a projected $6,000,000,000 deficit while raising taxes by $10,000,000,000. That's the ultimte backhanded compliment. While Speaker Demuth was semi-diplomatic, the Republican Party of Minnesota was less than diplomatic . In their statement, the Republican Party said "Tonight, Governor Tim Walz delivered his State of...

People better sit down because this is shocking news. A Democrat judge was just arrested for obstruction. The Washington Examiner is reporting that "FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan on obstruction charges after she allegedly misdirected Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to help an illegal immigrant evade arrest." The Examiner is also reporting "Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges after she allegedly interfered with a federal immigration arrest inside her courtroom. 'Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction,' Patel posted to X." Judge Dugan deserves far more than a maximum of 6 years in prison. She apparently didn't hesitate in preventing ICE from arresting an illegal alien. It's one thing for a regular person to obstruct ICE. It's another thing when an officer of the court breaks the law. Cavalier Johnson, Milwaukee's Democ...
