Game Of Crones
By Mitch Berg
Tina Smith is retiring from the Senate, citing health.
So – who’s turn is it in DC?
Tim Walz has made noises about running – and clearly lusts after DC real estate. More on that maybe next week.
Peggy Flanagan came right out of the gate, though, and announced yesterday.
No huge surprise there.
Of course, some of her support rates a grim chuckle:
Her “lived experience” is entirely as part of the non-profit/DFL/industrial complex; she has never not been a first or second-tier government employee.
As to “proven leadership?” The only issue I can recall about her actually leading, as opposed to posturing…
…was when as chair of the Capitol Architecture Committee she let a group of her cronies tear down the statue of Christopher Columbus on the Capitol mall, and then made sure their leader and token arrestee was “sentenced” to teach kids about the evils of Christopher Columbus.
Now that’s leadership.
Besides Walz (ahem), we’ve Ilhan Omar, Jacob Frey, and we’ve got late-breaking rumors that Leigh Finke is mulling throwintg Leigh Finke’s hat into the ring:

Man, if Flanagan or Finke could be elected, I gotta think that Klobuchar will be pretty happy to not be the ugliest MN Senator anymore.

Flanagan, Finke, Omar, Walz….
You think that is bad?
Wait until the MNGOP picks someone who has no hope of beating them.

Greg, agreed, but really, is there any MNGOP personality popular enough to overcome the population and cheating advantages of the 7-county metro?

Rod Grams won an election because everybody knew him from television.
Who do we have in the lineup? Liz from Alpha News? Dave Dahl?

Allegedly, economically illiterate Julie Blaha and Dean Phillips are being mentioned. But, hey. I can’t wait until these butt heads start tearing each other to pieces. I’m sure that will produce some interesting things in their closets.

BH429: Even if that were the case, very few people in this state will find out about those closets. Other than Mitch, AlphaNews, and maybe Powerline, no one else will cover it.

Leftist controlled states are represented by reprobate, leftist trash QED
But man, not even California can compete with Minnesota for batshit crazy and low IQ leftist trash. What a lineup. Lmao!
That said, watching Walz float into the Senate chamber doing his little princess sachet would be hilarious, and his lunatic wife could finally turn the page on Minnesota.

I guess what I’m saying is, since it’s a given whoever the Reprobates endorse will be your next Senator, y’all might as well make it entertaining for the rest of us.

bigman, I heard somebody from Ch4 is still running around to find Rod and ask him about his son…

Given what we saw at the Democrat nominating convention with gender queer quotas, the first candidate to come out trans is the clear moral choice.
Walz is already halfway there.

We are doomed.
I’d move, but my wife’s too attached.
February 14th, 2025 at 4:00 pm
Ya, you guys have a bunch of lefty nuts running for the senate but at least they will be in D.C and are no longer in the state. We here in New Mexico have Deb Haaland coming back to run for governor. She won’t go away.

If they can get all those DFL luminaries on a debate stage, they could split screen it with the Mos Eisley Cantina scene in Star Wars and it would be indistinguishable.

“ I’d move, but my wife’s too attached.”
My wife was born and raised in St. Paul. Not only does she not miss Minnesota, last time we went up she said being there depressed her, and she was ready to go home after 2 days.
I wasn’t born there, the scent was off the bloom rather quickly and frankly when Tim Pawlenty was elected Governor and immediately grabbed his ankles, I knew it was time to gtfo.
I was raised in California, and left there shortly after college. Not only do I not miss it, I won’t even go there unless I am being paid to do it.
Living in a place you don’t like, surrounded and controlled by people you despise and who despise you is not a recipe for a long, happy life.
The only logical thing to do is go to where your people are.
