  • Compare And Contrast

    Martha Raddatz, on behalf of all media/Democrats (pardon the redundancy) re Venezuelan gangs: “Hey, it’s a big country. Let’s keep things in perspective! Also Martha Raddatz, on behalf of all media/Democrats (pardon the redundancy) if five self-identified Boogaloo Boys are seen hiking in the woods somewhere in northwest Georgia: “Lets examine this wave of white…

  • I Was Warned…

    …that if I voted Republican, then wannabe tyrants would have the President on speed-dial. And they were right: It’s Michael Moore – Flint Michigan’s own wannabe Mussolini. And in case you didn’t want to read the whole piece (it’s probably the right call, other than sociologically), here’s where he wants POTATUS to wave his magic…

  • Notes From The Soggy Zone

    Last week, I ruffled some of the usual feathers by posting a link to this video by Ryan McBeth. McBeth is a former anti-tank grunt who now does open-source intelligence and systems work. His Youtube and Substack channels are interesting; he doesn’t get everything right (he is still claiming Mossad figured out how to remotely…

  • Why We Call Berg’s Seventh Law A “Law”

    Berg’s Seventh Law has been getting quite a workout over the past nine years: When a progressive issues a group defamation or assault on conservatives’ ethics, character, humanity or respect for liberty or the truth, they are at best projecting, and at worst drawing attention away from their own misdeeds. When leftists warn of waves…

  • Your Tax Dollars At Work

    University of Kansas prof says that men who don’t vote for Harris/Klink should be… Well, it’s all right here.  Go for it.  Not that this is news, necessarily. The University issued one of those “Oaaaaakaaaay, we’ll look into it, because hypothetically that’s not the kind of thing we approve of here, if it happened…” statements…

  • Willful Ignorance

    People can vote for whoever they want to.  It’s still a fairly free country.  But I have a fair number of people in my social circle – co-workers, high school classmates, former teachers and professors – who are declaiming that they’re voting for Harris and Walz “to save democracy”. And I read that and try…

  • Pounce

    In my interview with former Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka last Saturday, we talked about the depths of Governor Klink’s radicalism.  With that in mind – with any luck, this should turn up in the Veep debate tonight: In a very significant development — I am almost prepared to say the most significant development in…

  • School’s Out

    During Covid, I spent a lot of time driving between Minnesota and North Dakota. And I listened to both governors’ press conferences, back when those were a daily or weekly thing – in one case, back to back, Walz and Burgum.  And the contrast could not have been more stark: listening to Walz felt like…

  • “LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

    FIve’ll get you ten she’s a teacher Someone’s gonna get discovered alone in an apartment full of cats after drinking too much boxed wine:

  • That Pesky Constitution

    Freedom. It’s such a big deal, our “elites” don’t think you can be trusted with it: Keith Ellison thanks the authoritarian socialist government of Brazil for threatening to criminalize Twitter: Kamala Harris thinks free speech is a privilege, and needs supervision. Democrats are warning me democracy itself is at stake. I guess they’re right.  

  • The DFL Dictionary: A New Entry

    It’s high time we updated the “DFL Dictionary” – which, as you read it, is clearly a product of a more innocent time. When I do, one phrase I’m going to add is the “Urban Life Theme Park”. To wit: Urban Life Theme Park: (noun) A neighborhood, populated mostly by white middle-class “white “progressives” with…

  • When A Plan Comes Together

    So, the housing permit numbers for the Twin Cities are in.  And if putting people in houses is  your goal, they are…uh, not good: Saint Paul: And Minneapolis: Was it rent control? Bidenomics? Why choose?

  • Focus

    Look, it’s not like I need more reasons not to like Governor Walz.  He’s fake.  He’s a product of the Democrat propaganda machine.  He’s a wannabe tyrant.  But more personally? Listen to this bit here: I’ll cop to it – I spent a good chunk of my early years in the Twin Cities with a…

  • High Strategy

    George W. Bush’s Air Guard record. Mitt Romney’s tax returns. The Russian Collusion hoax. The “Perfectly Fine People” hoax. “White Supremacists started/did most of the rioting in Minneapolis!” “Kids are coming to school hungry in Minnesota”. And now this: Woodruff posted a tweet “Clarifying” her regret that she’d been caught:   But it’s out there.…

  • The Klink Administration In One Clip

    I have a hard time describing the contempt this bit here makes me feel: She left the windows open (presumably at the Governor’s mansion, safely dug in down on “old money” Summit Avenue, miles from the actual rioting) and “smelled the tires burning”, because it was a “touchstone to what was happening”.  I smelled it…

  • America, 2027

    SCENE:  On Broadway at Central, in Northeast Minneapolis.  It’s late fall; winter is clearly on the way.  Stray papers blow down the street, nearly deserted in, visibly chilly.  Outside the boarded up remains of what had been a breakfast place catering to “laptop-class” white progressive “new urbanites”, one of many boarded up stores on that…

  • Open Letter To America’s Dumbest Senator

    To: Senator Tina SmithFrom:  Mitch Berg, Obstreporous PeasantRe;  Democracy Senator, Yesterday you (via  your social  media intern) tweeted this: “History” may mark those words, if it’s written by someone dumb enough to be a Tina Smith voter. But – and saying for sake of argument that Donald Trump was in fact any way a threat…

  • Among Tim Walz’s Many Tall Tales

    When Governor Klink and the DFL legislative majority were making the case to squander the “surplus” [1], they put “cutting poverty by 30%” as one of their goals.  So – how is poverty in Minnesota doing? Well – we don’t know.  Official poverty stats conveniently trail real time by a couple of years.  Official poverty…

  • His True Color Is Red

    Socialism:   A system that has murdered 100 million people in the past century? Or just another term for “Minnesota Nice?” Governor Walz: Klink, of course, has been practicing the rookie-league Beria handbook for years: Snitch Lines “Badthink” databases The relentless sorting and name-calling Of course, Walz serves as governor solely at the sufference of the…

  • How Every Conversation About “Fascism”, “Naziism” and “Racism” Should Go

    SCENE:  Mitch BERG is whacking weeds along his alley.  He doesn’t notice Avery LIBRELLE, who appears to be inspecting peoples recycling bins for inappropriate material.  LIBRELLE:  Merg! BERG:  Oh, shiiiiiure as I live and breathe, it’s Aver… LIBRELLE:  Shut up.   Republicans are the worst possible combination of Nazis, Fascists and slave-owning Confederate traitors! BERG:  You…

  • Punching Laterally-To-Down

    To: Jason Chavez, Minneapolis DSA/DFL councilbeingFrom: Mitch Berg, Obstreporous PeasantRe: Punching Councilbeing Chavez, You tweeted this on Wednesday: Let’s talk about the term “uprising”. It usually connotes a group of subjugated, beaten-down people, “rising up” against their oppressors. Good examples of uprisings that fit some variant of that definition: Each of these uprisings have a…

  • When All You Have Is A Dribble Glass Full Of Kombucha, All The World Is A Reichstag Fire

    Block a freeway? Burn down a neighborhood? Jack a car, rob a store, shoot up on a train, b**w a john on a bus, attack someone on a train platform? Mary Moriarty’s got your back. Exercise your first amendent right to demonstrate for Mary Moriarty’s enemies, whoever they are, wherever you are? You’re a threat…

  • Open Letter To Alvin Bragg And All The Chuckleheads Cheering On Yesterday’s Verdict

    To: Alvin Bragg, From: Mitch Berg, Obstreporous PeasantRe: You Did It! I’ve never been coy about the fact that I’ve never cared about Donald Trump – or at least his dominant public persona. I don’t care for what his erratic and impulsive nature cost the GOP in 2018 and 2020. Something I like far less…

  • The Party Of Crime And Violence

    To: DFL ParentsFrom: Mitch Berg, Obstreporous PeasantRe: Your Kids DFL comms guy Ryan Faircloth [1] had himself a chuckle in the lobby of the GOP convention last Friday: The sign, naturally, is a just a tad tongue-in-cheek. But the MNDFL – the party of “comedians” who aren’t funny and people with no sense of humor,…

  • Urban Progressive Privilege: Q: How Do You Make A Minneapolis “Progressive” Scream?

    Answer: Show them you exist and aren’t going away: The comments on this tweet are the tip of the rhetorical iceberg, and bespeak a crowd who treat violations of their ‘Urban Progressive Privilege’ like getting jabbed in the yarbles with a knitting needle.
