The state’s “guidance” – read “rules” – for public gatherings, enacted as part of Governor Klink’s endless emergency declaration, are pretty clear, by government standards.
Moral and scientific gibberish? Sure.
But not especially ambiguous:
Here they are (via Michael Brodkorb on Twitter).
15 people. Even if they’re spread out all over the place.
So there’s this – an event honoring the swearing-in of the new (DFL) Senators:
Now – there are two possibilities at play here. Either:
- There are three household families of 33+ people planning to attend, or
- The event used its intra-DFL pull to get a permit for an event that mere proles couldn’t possibly get.
Let’s sum up: The Department of Admin (which reponds to Walz) gave permission for a rally for a rally for people and legislators who mark, as Walz, bark on the DFL’s orders.
This is what’s “essential” in Minnesota.
UPDATE: Erin Murphy – career politician, former Rep, failed gubernatorial candidate and now back to the Senate – tweeted:
To which our old friend Andy Aplikowski responded:
Followed by peaceful protests, natch.
Ah. I see you boys have yet another Smallian law maker. Good for You!
They’ve sure come a long ways from the days they were forced to haul your liquor in their cabs, haven’t they? Who knows? Maybe it will come to pass you won’t be allowed to possess liquor anywhere in your state…inshallah.
Anyway, you had better haul your asses over there to join them in a hearty Minnesota ululation…You don’t want to piss those people off..
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! The Great and Powerful Walz has spoken!
We’ve seen how quickly the bill of rights & the rule of law collapse in the US when the governors adopt one-man rule.
Normally I would say that it is foolish to expect the courts to save small-r republicanism, but covid has changed my mind. When the power-grab is a brazen as it has been under governors like Walz, Wittmer, and Newsom, the courts will eventually act, but by then it may be too late.
Just a reminder of what the first amendment to the constitution is supposed to guarantee you:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Governors have been violating what is literally the foundation of our republic for nine months, with rare & piecemeal push back from the courts.
AAA is well known for typos, but “decries” (instead of decrees) actually works better.
Kunesh (or Kunesh-Podein, the hyphenated part seems to toggle on and off) represents my district. She’s been running for every office she can for about 15 years now.
Wouldn’t you love to see Walz or his lawyers explain to a court (or the legislature) the “science” behind what appear to be arbitrary and capricious restrictions on the right of the people to assemble?
“When the power-grab is a brazen as it has been under governors like Walz, Wittmer, and Newsom, the courts will eventually act, but by then it may be too late.”
You may not have noticed, Max, but the reprobates just stole a Presidential election in plain sight, and not 1 court has deigned to even examine the evidence. “Too late” may be the understatement of 2020.
“Wouldn’t you love to see Walz or his lawyers explain to a court (or the legislature) the “science” behind what appear to be arbitrary and capricious restrictions on the right of the people to assemble?”
lol. They’re not going to explain shit to you, or anyone else. They don’t need to show you no steenkin’ badges!
At such times we must rely on
platitudesprovidence, Pete Strunk.I prefer a 90 day, 3000 calorie/day stockpile of food, 500 gals of fresh water, a full cord of split fire wood, a well supplied med kit, 100 gals of fuel for a 2800W generator, a modest supply of 5.56mm & .45 ACP cartridges and the means for delivering them, Max. But to each his own.

Yes.
I’d also love to be the filling in a Amy Adams / Anna Kendrick sandwich.
I bet a shiny new quarter “B” happens well before “A”.

Diesel or propane? Or do you use non-oxy gasoline?
Asking for a friend.
You might consider blowing $90 on a Baofang BF-F8HP. It’s got better ratings than my Yaesu FT-60R and costs a lot less.
Speaking on a handheld ham radio requires a license from the federal government. Listening is free. Good source of information when the radio and tv are controlled by the enemy and the internet and cell phone are locked down “to maintain public order.”
The takeaway from the Democrats mobbing exercise is that they do not fear that their large crowd will spread covid.
they do not believe that their large crowd will spread covid
Fixed it for you. The Democrat leadership has shown, for months, that they don’t believe. They do pretty much anything they want, when they think no one will notice. Or report on it.
One of the smartest things Instapundit Glenn Reynolds said was: “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who claim it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.”
They aren’t, so it isn’t.
About 4 years ago, I was able to purchase 2 used Motorola RMU-2080d radios from the company I work for, with mic’s, for less than the cost of 1. They’re a little beat up, but they work perfectly. Only have 1 charger for them though.
My generator uses gasoline, and it’s funny you mention corn whiskey gas. I bought it off Craigslist in a non-running condition, After talking to the guy selling it on the phone, I realized what the problem was right away; he had been running it with Ethanol blended gasoline. All told I have $135 invested in it; $90 for the generator, $35 for a new carb and $10 for a can of Sea Foam.
I don’t burn corn liquor in any of my vehicles either; it’s shit, and with the octane (mileage) difference, it’s no bargain compared with pure gasoline.
pete is right about the ethanol crap, not only will it screw up your carburetor but it doesn’t store well, non-ethanol with Sta-Bil will “stay fresh” for nearly a year, not so much with the ethanol.
If you’re looking to buy a diesel generator, north of Mason-Dixon you should buy your diesel fuel supply in the winter(winter blend) not the summer so you don’t have trouble starting it in cold weather. Or like a couple guys down the road from me you can make and blend your own bio-diesel just don’t get caught using it on public highways.
Likewise, propane fueled generators are sometimes hard starters in below zero weather
exhaust hose extensions are great because then you don’t have to leave your generator outside while its running reducing the harm weather can cause or the likelihood of theft by roving looters.

I’ll admit mine didn’t start a couple of years ago at 30 below, but keep ’em tuned up and run ’em until warm once a week will pretty much avoid hard starting. Btw, the next day at 20 below, it did start.

Say, isn’t Brodkorb the GOP insider that single handidly destroyed the MN party back in ’06? And didn’t he reinvent himself as a darling of the ledt; writing tell all pieces for leftist websites and such?
Is he switching sides again? WTF?
Maybe you can wrangle him over here, Berg. He could take the cheese whiz troll’s seat. I’m pretty sure his schtik would be far more amusing than the troll’s inane babble.
Mitch, I have been reading you so long that it used to be a Scarlett Johansson/Marisa Tomei sandwich 🙂
P.S. LOVE Amy

I’ve been considering looking into getting a technician/non-code license for this very reason. My mother in law gave me $150 for Xmas, and I do not have any “gotta haves” in my wish list at the time. The gears in my head are now churning….
Moderated. Wow. I really wonder what triggered it.
According to AlphaNewsMN, this gig has been [exposed to too many people, declared an embarrassment, and] cancelled.

Bill C and Joe D, if SHFT, do you really think having your FCC license is going to be a factor? Sure, get the Tech license, hell the general license isn’t very tough, but personally I wouldn’t let leave from a rogue government be much of a hindrance, either way. If I was using a radio in a hostile environment, I sure as hell wouldn’t be identifying myself, but that’s me.
After all, we’re learning that licenses are used to control resistance, aren’t we?
Pete,
Yes, the less the government knows about me, the better. However:
1) The Shasn’tHTF yet, and I would like to start hamming before it does. No need to mark myself as a rogue and piss off the ham community by transmitting without a license while life is still mostly in order.
2) The only info the FCC collects for licensing is name, address, and daytime phone number. The feds already have my info. If SHTF and I want to stop giving my call sign, I will. At that point I doubt anyone else would care. I imagine most, if not all, other hams would stop identifying themselves at that point.
