Muslim-bashers aren’t getting it done, in Minnesota politics – Part 2

August 13, 2020

(Part 1 here.) As noted in Part 1, the haters failed to keep Keith Ellison out of the Minnesota Attorney General’s office, in 2018. Against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), they tried a different approach, this time. There wasn’t the same kind of out-loud bigotry. Instead, they tried a “less divisive,” even supposedly “progressive,” campaign. And […]

Why no bonding bill?

August 3, 2020

From when this year’s bonding bill mess was going on: A deal is not in the interests of Republican House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, who is hoping to win back the speaker’s gavel. His caucus’s position is that there’s no bonding deal unless Gov. Tim Walz gives up his emergency powers. This works for Daudt […]

Twin Metals gets slapped back

June 26, 2020

At least, I hope that’s how we can interpret this.

Minnesota firms seek, and get, waivers to spew toxins

June 18, 2020

You’ve probably seen that the Environmental Protection Agency, which is essentially being destroyed thanks to the relentless corruption and mind-bogglingly pitiful stupidity of Trump and his Buffoon Brigade, was told a while back to essentially stop enforcing environmental protection laws, under cover of the COVID-19 pandemic. And you have to be awfully naive, not to […]

The way to help legalize marijuana in Minnesota is to vote DFL. Period.

June 15, 2020

The Minnesota Reformer is reporting that the Minnesota Party of Trump is recruiting candidates to run under the purported aegis of the legal marijuana parties, hoping to siphon votes from Democrats in close races, especially for the state Senate. It’s hardly unexpected, that they would do that. Yeah, probably a majority of people that vote […]
