Our Depraved Media
So, businesses are opening in a building that got re-opened after…uh, some unfortunate events, apparently: “The 2020 fires”? A bad streak of accidents? Spontaneous combustion? Flaming rocks from the sky? In a city full of media that bellows “off what?” when the DFL says “jump”, KARE11 has lapped the field at going “woke”.

Inimical
To: Rep. Liz CheneyFrom: Mitch Berg, Obstreporous PeasantRe: It’s Not Me, It’s You Rep Cheney, I’m not the biggest fan of Marjorie Taylor Greene. For that matters, I’m not the most passionate of your detractors. But on this issue? So let me make sure I’m clear on this; if our government is violating the Constitution…

Chilling Effect
Not long after the FBI put Catholic worshipers on its politically, motivated watchlist, this happened: Not jumping to conclusions, here – because I don’t think there’s any need to jump. As we continue to wait for the “epic wave of right wing violence“ that Obama promised us, the epic wave of left-wing violence continues.

Open Letter To Keith Olberman
To: Keith Olbermann I see you’re back at it. What is it about you morons who got you starts writing about grown men chasing balls around fields, that makes you all such dim bulbs about politics? Eddie Schultz, Mike McFeely, Jim Souhan, Bob Costas… Anyway – go ahead. Declare “Economic Civil War“. See how California…

Ryan Winkler Style
Rep. Winkler is no longer alone at the top of the list of casual racists in government: “Depraved” on the left is a hole that’s got no bottom. And Berg’s 8th Law is universal.

What If They Threw A Culture War
…and the enemy was nothing but a bunch of snot-nosed eighth graders… …with firebombs and deep political connections?

Deja Vu All Over Again
A shooting outside a police training center sparked riots in Atlanta Saturday night. The police say the deceased was an anti-facility activist who shot a State Patrolman before getting killed by the return fire. The decedent’s, er, colleagues claim he was feeding puppies and getting old women across the street. Either way, it was mostly…

Emblematic
Over the weekend, “Anti”-Fa rioted in Atlanta. First: Governor Klink and Mayor Mompants McDreamy could learn a thing or two from Brian Kemp about how to handle communist guerrilla uprisings. But of course, if either of them did the “progressive” wing of the DFL would get upset: Peggy Flanagan would yank the leash on Governor…

Degüello
I think the first time I noticed America’s political class divide when I was doing my first talk show, at KSTP, way back when. I made the, um, profound observation that while the American Left had always sought a “class war” in which they – or at least the garden variety of “they” – saw…

Rhetoric
Gotta tell you something that bugs the bejeebers out of me. Governor Walz’s campaign motto in both elections has been “One Minnesota”. Now, if you’ve studied History *and* German, that slogan sounds all too close to “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer” – “One People, One Empire, One Leader”. It was the motto of…uh, a…

Signs “Crime” Is Polling Badly
Shot: Kamala Harris denies supporting the MN Freedom Fund, a group that opposes cash bail by bailing out “indigent” often-violent offenders, with occasional disastrous results… …after gleefully supporting it two years ago: “He who controls the past, controls the future. He who controls the present, controls the past”. Chaser: Ellison runs away from the “Defund”…

Connected
A friend of the blog emails: Certain people in the media know who [Umbrella Man] is and won’t reveal it. Do you think he’s connected or related to a well known DFL elected official or donor? It’s starting to look that way. If Big Leftymedia felt that the identity could impugn the GOP before an election,…

“Semi-Fascists” Vs. Not-Semi-At-All Authoritarian, Part III
So what would you do if you met an SS stormtrooper, in mid-depredation? One of the people who conquered Europe and ran the concentration camps? An actual “fascist”? We’ll come back to that. Boogie Man So what defines an authoritarian, whatever label (“fascist”, “Nazi”, “Communist”, “Banana Republic”, and on and on?). Here’s one trait. Remember…

“Semi-Fascists” Vs. Not-Semi-At-All Authoritarian, Part II
President Brandon and a cavalcade of lesser flaks have been referring to about half the population as “Fascists“, and people who want to destroy democracy. Remember this? In 2020, a group of activists tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus on the Capitol mall in Saint Paul. Although the entire episode was carried live in…

“Semi-Fascists” Vs. Not-Semi-At-All Authoritarian, Part I
Last week, President Brandon accused Republicans of being “Semi-Fascists”. To be fair, it sort of sounded like one of his “is he senile, or just not very bright” moments: I could go either way, to be honest. But it got me thinking about a couple of things. What’s In A Word The left has been…

Never Forget
Since it’s state fair time Dash the time when at least some people in Minnesota start paying attention to the upcoming elections – let’s make sure we remember: when minutes counted, Governor Klink took days to respond to the collapse of law and order in Minneapolis. The media is going to focus on cheery stories…

The Thing About “Progressives” is…
If you lelt them babble on long enough, they always prove you right: By the way – newspaper editorial cartoonists take a test when they’re interviewing, measuring their knowledge of current events, history, and their understanding of the ins and outs of American society. If they score over 50%, they get a job in the…

Recruitment
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:l Best possible news for our nation: Lesko Brandon kicks out 60,000 unvaxx military members. All those trained professional warriors just became part of The Resistance. It’s not only us Wolverines anymore. Excellent. Meanwhile, the military is reducing standards again, desperate to find bodies to replace the trained professional warriors…

Look At Meeeeeeeeeeeee
Joel Doakes from Como Park emails: Protesters outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Barrett. First, it’s illegal to protest outside the home of a federal judge and rightly so. There are limits to free speech: fighting words, fire in a theater, perjury on the witness stand, and threatening/intimidating a judge are off limits. If…

Terrorism
I’ve probably noted this elsewhere, but I don’t’ think it can be overstated: the reason that the first Obama Administration spent so much time and effort barbering about “white supremacist terror” was to start projecting fault on the phantom menace to draw attention away from the mass of leftist thugs that Big Left was in…

Lost
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: As I was putting out the cat this morning, the little girl from upstairs walked by. She was crying. I asked her what was wrong. “Someone stole my bike, I’m looking for it.” I told her I’d keep an eye out and wished her luck. Yes, I could have…

Just Remember…
The real wave of terror is going to be all those white right-wingers. Someday. One of these days. Any time, now. Honest. In the meantime, though, we’ve just got the regular left-wing terrorists in the Twin Cities: Or at least some Macalester poli-sci majors apprenticing with Big Left. By the way – the guy with…

Just Remember…
The real danger to our society is “right wing terror”. As the gone-but-not-forgotten, perma-blocked Dog Gone used to say, the danger is a wave or conservative violence that will “dwarf 9/11”. While we wait,and wait, and wait, we saw this from a “journalist” for “Rewire News Group” re the firebombing in Madison we talked about…

One Evening, Somewhere In A Blue City
SCENE: Long after dark, in a ratty but not necessarily malevolent commercial and office district, in an unnamed “blue” city. A Hyundai crossover pulls up to the curb, in front of a relatively pristine, whitewashed brick wall on the side of a church. Stacey HINTON, Executive Director of “Keep All Racists Eternally Nonplussed”, a white…
