Well, it seems at least one tradition is on a “pause” for the foreseeable future.

AM1280 and the NARN won’t be out at the State Fair this year.

Fifteen straight summers, the NARN guys and I worked out at the Fair. The station took a different route this year.

Which on the one hand is fine – no need to add “getting to the fairgrounds” to all the other show prep stuff.

On the other hand, it means I lose the big benefit of being with the station at the Fair: having an air-conditioned room with a fridge full of water to retreat to when the crowds get to be too much. That, along with getting to meet the audience face to face, was one of the highlights of whole “show at the Fair” experience.

I’ll have to come up with some other side hustle that offers that…

Here’s Scott Johnson’s writing on Rep. Ilhan Omar.

And if you know a high school girl interested in competing in “Speaking Proudly”, here’s the website. It could be worth $1,000 – and could help save the Republic!

Here’s the report from the Office of the Legislative Auditor on the CCHP Fraud case.

The Minnesota Voters Alliance is suing the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul on First Amendment grounds over the use of landords to hand out voter registration info.

Jim Newberger is running for US Senate against Amy “The Kavanator” Klobuchar – rated as the worst boss in the US Senate.   Please help him out.

And yes, you can help Doug Wardlow usher Keith Ellison out of public life.   Please do.

Yesterday, I started telling the story of Dr. Massoud Amin – a man who came to the US as a teenager with his parents after the Iranian Revolution, became a citizen, and rose to the highest levels not only of academia, but of national security, as one of the nation’s foremost experts in cybersecurity.

And then, in the middle of a rancorous divorce with more than a whiff of academic backstabbing mixed in, an overzealous prosecutor turned a paperwork discrepancy in a civil divorce filing into, literally, a criminal case.

Pursuant to that case, the prosecutor and the police searched Dr. Amin’s house, and confiscated Dr. Amin’s firearm collection,  planting the story of “The Iranian professor who collected a bunch of guns and swindled his soon-to-be-ex” – simultaneously defaming him to the left (“Serves the gun nut right!”) and the less-bright parts of the right (“Probably a terrorist!”).

The trial?  It was a comedy of errors – but not remotely funny.   All exculpatory evidence was suppressed, and that was just the beginning.   The ending?   A conviction – aided  by bizarre courtroom antics and some sketchy lawyering on both sides.

The prosecution is asking for a ten year prison sentence for a conviction that normally carries a years’ suspended sentence and probation for a first-time offender – which Dr. Amin, who held a top-secret security clearance until the conviction, most assuredly was.

Why so much irregularity in what started as a typical ugly American divorce?

We’ll be talking with Dr. Massoud about that this Saturday on my show.   Tune in, and call in if you havre questions.

Here’s Doug Wardlow’s website.  He can beat Keith Ellison – the polls are looking good – but we can not get complacent.   Help out.

Check out the Legislative Evaluation Assembly’s 2018 Report Card.

Here’s Jim Newberger’s website.  He’s running for US Senate.

Greg Ryan is running for the US House in the Fourth Congressional District.

Here are the websites for Rep. Jason Lewis and hopefully future representative Jim Hagedorn.   They could use volunteers, letters to the editor, and money for this next big push.

As can Pete Stauber, Greg Ryan, Jen Zielinski, Dave Hughes and Erik Paulsen.  I imagine Tom Emmer wouldn’t turn up his nose at some help, either.

Here’s Lacy Johnson’s website.  He’s running in Ray Dehn’s district (59B) – and he’s one impressive guy.  If you live in a safe red district, please peel off a few bucks and help out.

And don’t forget – Doug Wardlow is not only running for Attorney General, he’s within the margin of error on the SUSA poll with 14% still undecided.  Help him win this thing.
