The Problem Is Families
Dunking on the MNDFL’s social media intern isn’t “punching down”. It’s “squishing something with my foot”. But this one tells us a lot about the DFL. The intern is looking at something in the GOP platform: Forget for a moment that they deflected from the GOP’s correct assertion that the DFL calls post-partum care “anti-abortion”…

Red Flag
Democrats, nationwide and in Minnesota, are fixated on “Red Flag Laws”. In the wake of Uvalde, it’s become the flavor the the month for the grabbers, yet again – part of the endless cycle that the gun control movement has become. Now, it’s hypothetically possible to create a Red Flag Law that could work. But…

Fathers Day
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Mother’s Day and Father’s Day arose from a desire to acknowledge the importance of parents, the people who guide, protect and care for the Next Generation. They deserve a day of recognition. You know who else deserves a day of recognition? Step parents. The people who fill empty shoes…

Divorce, American Style
The divorce between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, finalized three months ago, has entered its most half-cocked bizarro phase: And people thought OJ Simpson’s legal team was big and expensive. UPDATE: I’m informed the parties in this post are Kim Jong Un of North Korea, and the West. Not sure it makes sense, but I’ll…

Rhyme Unreason
What a horribly un-woke childhood I had. I remember the old version.Of course, the new version works for the LGBT+ crowd nowadays.And here’s the family court version.Of course, you must listen all the way to the end to get the humor. I suspect college professors in Wymins Studies never got beyond the first sentence before…

Snapped
Why are progressives so anti-gun? Perhaps because, subconsciously, they know Berg’s Seventh Law is for real. Gun-controller shoots her kids, self: Ashley Auzenne, 39, fatally shot Parrish, 11, Eleanor, 9, and Lincoln, 7 — and then herself — in their Deer Park home, local police said in a statement. Authorities found their bodies when they…

How The Other Half Fumes
Many years ago, I went out on a date with a woman who was a pretty “out” DFLer. Public employee union member, second generation DFL activist (at least), and predictably emotion-driven in her approach to all things political. We went out 3-4 times – “dates” that almost always involved being out with quite a number…

Epic Fail
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: This guy lacks the intellectual rigor to preach Christian morality. “If it feels good, do it” appears nowhere in the Gospels and that’s the basis of the abortion problem. If we encourage young people to have sex, some will get pregnant. If we make marriage optional and divorce a…

As A General Rule…
…I leave questions of eternal consequences to the Almighty. It’s his job – not that I could affect that (outside myself), even if I wanted to. Which I do not. But I do hope there’s a smack upside this woman’s head in the afterlife.

It’s A Start
Sandra Grazzini-Rucki was sentenced today for the kidnapping of her children, after losing custody to her ex-husband, David Rucki; she then sequestered them on a ranch for over two years. Not only did she keep them from her ex-husband – but she apparently didn’t visit them herself either. Just my opinion, here; there is no…

Mother Nature
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: In the olden days, a child born out of wedlock was illegitimate and not entitled to support from the father. Fear for her child kept women from straying which contributed to social stability. Apparently, it’s not just a human thing. Too bad the birdbrains who changed our laws are…

Family Lawless
I’ll admit up front; I don’t know all the facts of this case. And I doubt we’ll ever really find them out. This case has been jammed forcibly onto the radars of pretty much every person in the Twin Cities media and pundocracy for quite some time now, by parties – family law attorneys –…

Unforgiven
I oppose the death penalty. I oppose it for one reason; the inevitability of executing the innocent. It’s not that no case has ever made me want to see some one eaten by mice, of course. Classic example; the Susan Smith case. Smith was convicted twenty years ago of pushing her car, with her kids strapped…

The Moral Of The Story

From The Memory Hole
From way back: I heard legends from the tribal elders that the Democrats also supported something called “traditional marriage”, way back then.

Thoughtcrime
You’ve heard the stories of the betrothed gay couples who’ve scoured the market for test cases waiting to happen – Christian photogs, bakers, florists and other vendors who politely tried to opt out of participating in ceremonies they don’t believe in. They were sued into compliance or bankruptcy, or both. And now, in Canada –…

Being Protestant, As I Am…
…my commentary about Pope Francis is largely irrelevant. While we’re all on the Jesus Team, he’s not in my chain of command. And I know, I know – is “infallability” is, doctrinally, entirely a matter of theology. All I know, goy that I am, is that many more remarks like this and people are going to start…

The Ultimate Inequity
Preface: I frequently joke that progressives have developed a habit of turning todays’ satire into tomorrow’s policy. Conservatives have long known that, no matter what a family’s income level, the best way to stack the odds in a kid’s favor is to: Have the kids in wedlock Stay together Actually raise the kids Poor families…

The Booming Legal Economy
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Ramsey County doesn’t use District Court Judges to hear Family Law cases, they use Referees who hold hearings, swear witnesses, take testimony, and recommends Findings and Conclusions for final Decree to be signed by the real judge. Anybody out there interested in spend all day, every day, listening to…

Extreme
How debased is the English language, as it relates to politics in the US today? The Democrats are chanting in unison that a bill regulating abortion is “extreme”. No shock there. What’s “extreme” is that it would ban abortion of fetuses after the 20th week of gestation. 20 weeks. Five months. Over halfway there. More…

Equality
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Courts struck down obsolete “one-man-one-woman” marriage laws because gays were treated unfairly. Incest laws prevent birth defects . . . but gay couples don’t have that problem. So should gay cousins be allowed to marry? And what about Muslim cousin arranged marriages – shouldn’t we respect that culture? Once…

NoH8!
When gay marriage activists sold the idea of same-sex marriage, their key points (other than the “if you disagree you are teh bigot!” that most of the lower-information supporters prattled endlessly) were: The idea that marriage is purely about raising children is obsolete – people who don’t intend to, or can’t, have children, are married all…

The Skewed Market
Childcare is hard to find in Minnesota – a state where daycare costs are already among the highest in the nation, per-capita. And it’s even harder in Greater Minnesota. Eight months before her due date, Angie Steinbach started calling day cares to reserve a spot for her baby. Nobody had an opening as far as…

Wanna Feel Old?
Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Mathers, who – along with her father, Marshall “Eminem” Mathers’ tempestuous relationship with her mother – has been behind a lot of Eminem’s output, just graduated from high school.

Lawless
The second-biggest problem this nation faces today – behind the fact that our financial system, left to run the way it is today, is going to crash sooner than later – is the fact that too much of our government operates outside the law. Of course, that fact grabs headlines when Obama’s administration tramples the…
