An unapologetic love letter to Historic Fort Snelling, part two

June 4, 2016

In part one, I described the bonding request from Historic Fort Snelling and the Minnesota Historical Society to the Legislature for a new visitors’ center and the renewal and re-imagining of the site. I included some photos of fort activities involving young people. Here are some more photographs that I have taken over the years. […]

Who’s really the hair trigger candidate, anyway?

June 3, 2016

On Thursday, June 2nd, Hillary Clinton had one of those adolescent run up to the door, ring the bell, and run away moments. She said, in a moment of actual clarity (I guess that is what it was), that this was “actual reality,” and that Donald Trump was “thin-skinned” and might plunge the US into war […]

An unapologetic love letter to Historic Fort Snelling

June 2, 2016

  There was a crowd, just as large, on the other side of the parade grounds, too. Memorial Day 2016. Historic Fort Snelling, the crown jewel of the Minnesota Historical Society’s historic sites scattered throughout Minnesota, made a bond request to the Legislature to renew, refresh, and re-imagine the site in advance of its 200th […]

Not just her thumb . . .

May 21, 2016

Sanders supporters have accused DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz of having her thumb or finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination. Personally, I think it’s a different part of her anatomy, because she is sitting on the scale. Cooking up the money laundry service known as the Hillary […]

There once was a gal named Hill’ry

May 15, 2016

Even though LeftMN is primarily a state politics website, and even though we are drawing close to the constitutionally-mandated close of the Minnesota Legislature – so there is plenty to talk about there – I am irresistibly drawn to the contest between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. As readers here know, I am a fan […]

Why it isn’t called “The Down Ballot Victory Fund”

May 6, 2016

I wrote before about an article in Politico describing the Hillary Victory Fund, and its operation in Minnesota, too. I was trying to find out about the HVF before the Politico article, but it piqued my interest even more. The gloss put on the HVF by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee is that it provided […]
