  • Off Script

    SCENE: One morning at MNDFL Headquarters. An array of progressive Minnesota luminaries are gathered around a table. At the head sits Lieutenant Governor Peggy FLANAGAN. To her right, Ken MARTIN, chair of the DFL. The other seats are occupied by Javier MORILLO of the SEIU, Denise SPECHT of Education MInnesota, Alida MESSINGER of Alliance for…

  • Discretion

    Western “woke” social imperialism apparently has its limits: If one exhibits “pride” but nobody can hear it, does it exist?

  • Darn Those Redneck MAGA Fascists

    Parents shut down a Dearborn, Michigan school board meeting over the distribution of “woke” books: A school-board meeting in Dearborn, Mich. was shut down earlier this week by hundreds of protesters opposing the circulation of LGBTQ books across the city’s public-school system. Viral videos recorded by a Detroit Free Press reporter circulated on Twitter showing pandemonium breaking out at the meeting…

  • That Brave Stance Thing

    Rep. Omar: So, Rep. Omar – are you condemning the regime’s actions? Because by your logic, the women of Iran are fighting against being forced to don the hijab… …which you call “Islamophobia” when Americans say it. Just want to be clear, here.

  • Minnesota’s Intellectual Titan Strikes Again

    Former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan lights up Rep. Ilhan Omar – and Muslim extremism: “Omar does not represent me as a Muslim, (she) does not represent millions of Muslims in the Middle East. You know like in Arab countries we call her the Muslim Brotherhood,” Idan, 29, said on the podcast The Sara Carter Show on…

  • The Hook

    Lunatic extremist kills dozens of Muslims in New Zealand (with a semiautomatic ugly black gun): Saturation coverage. Lunatic extremists kill hundreds of Christians with bombs: Dilatory coverage. If only the Columbo attackers had used AK47s…

  • The Real Problem With Ilhan Omar

    Some of my conservative – and in some cases “conservative” – circle of acquaintances are exercised over Ilhan Omar’s Muslim faith. Some of the more hysterical believe she’s the vanguard of an invasion bringing “Sharia” law to the United States. In its time, the US has withstood attacks by the greatest empire the world has…

  • The GOP Dumbass Bigot Caucus

    GOP precinct in Texas is working on removing a high-ranking officer… … Because he’s Muslim :  Republican leaders in one of the most populous counties in Texas want to remove a party vice chairman because he’s Muslim, according to emails between party leaders. The emails delivered anonymously to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram indicate the Tarrant County…

  • Logic Akbar

    SCENE:   Mitch BERG is browsing for saw chains at Menards’ in the Midway, when Fudd GLUNK, vice chair of the Ramsey County chapter of “Sharia is Coming!  Sharia is Coming!”, walks around the corner. GLUNK:  Merg! BERG:  Er…hey, Fudd… GLUNK:  Islam’s goal is to impose Sharia Law on all of us! BERG:  [Looking as if…

  • Earthquake

    Americans who are weary of Muslim excuses ask “so when will ‘moderate Muslims’ take a stand against the radicals?” Here you go; one of them is taking a stance against the radicals: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman invited Egypt’s Coptic Christians to visit Saudi Arabia after a rare meeting in Cairo’s main cathedral. Speaking to…

  • What’s The Fastest Way For An Obscure Republican To Get Famous Instantly?

    Republicans aren’t much for celebrity.  We don’t care much about them, and we tend not to be them.     Even among ourselves. But if you are a Republican – and, redundant to say, obscure – there still are a few ways to become famous. The big one?   Express any view that is grossly out of whack with…

  • Appearances

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Somebody threw an improvised explosive from a moving van onto the lawn at a mosque in Minneapolis at 5:00 a.m. last Saturday.  Blew out some windows, nobody injured.  Governor Dayton is all over this ‘act of terrorism’ which is part of a massive upsurge in violence against Muslims nation-wide,…

  • “Terrorism”

    Earlier this week “Governor” Dayton declared the firebombing of a Bloomington mosque “terrorism” – notwithstanding the fact that no investigating agency has released any conclusions about motive. Which is a little strange, given that tis’ been five days, now. Make no mistake; there is a xenophobic minority in this state.  Eventually, one of them could…

  • Dhim And Dhimmer

    SCENE:  Mitch BERG is pumping gas at the corner Superamerica when Polly LITTELL – proprietor of the Facebook page “Makeng Minnessota GRAET AGEN” page, pulls up to the next pump.  LITTELL:  Merg! BERG:  Oh, hey, Pollly.  (Eyes the meter on the pump, shakes the handle in a futile effort to get it to pump faster).…

  • The Religion Of Environmentalism And Health Insurance (UPDATE: Ooops)

    The fact that Ben Carson got mocked in the media, while Maxine Waters isn’t considered a national laughinstock, will be prime evidence when we finally have Nuremberg-style tribunals about media bias: And yet she’s taken seriously. UPDATE:  Ooops.  Parody account. I plead “long day at Grand Old Day”. To be fair, the measure of great…

  • More Or Lesch

    First, the good news:  Rep. Mary Franson has introduced a bill that would expose parents who subject their children to ritual genital mutilation to felony charges and potential loss of custody.  It’s currently illegal for a doctor to perform the procedure; if passed into law, Franson’s bill would spread the onus to the parents. This is a good thing –…

  • More Hatred Of Muslims!

    40,000 Muslims deported, due to fear of terrorism. From Muslim Saudi Arabia. Obvious bigotry against the Religion of Peace by redneck deplorable…Sunni.

  • Juxtaposition

    Islam. For 90-odd percent of its adherents, it may well be a religion of peace. But they seem to have other attitudes that bear some examination. For example: This hatred of early’80’s country-pop star Judy Kay “Juice” Newton… …is perplexing to outsiders.

  • Signs, Signs, Everywhere Are Signs

    Trevor Noah – who inherited “The Daily Show” from Jon Stewart – took a swipe at the restaurant in Lonsdale that had the infamous “Muslims Get Out” sign (which may have been less a matter of “hate” than “crummy editing”, by the way). Noah (with emphasis added): You know what’s also strange is this man…
