In USSR, The NSA Listens To You. In USA, You Listen To The NSA
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Just completed my mandatory annual data security training. From the module on passwords: A password will not include anything that is meaningful to the user, such as a name (either real or fictional), a date (such as family birthdays and anniversaries), telephone numbers, postal codes, car registration numbers and…

Well, I’ll Be
So abusing emails can take a powerful Democrat down! Fran Wasserman-Drescher, the DNC chair and one of a menagerie of villains in plot to fix the Committee’s process in favor of Hillary (who, as the Greatest Canddiate in History, should not have needed any fixing), is going to preside over the pep rally convention, and then shuffle…

Shades Of Things To Come?
Why does the American political class spend so much time jabbering about “gun safety”, about gay marriage, about climate change? To distract you from the economy, and the oncoming deflation of a huge entitlement debt bubble that is going to have drastic impact on…well, everything. The California pension system – which is a bellwether for…

Gewalt Am Arbeitsplatz
The fourth case of deadly German workplace violence carried out by angry right-wing white redneck NRA members of Arabic or Farsi descent – a suicide bombing in Nürnberg claiming 12, which can not possibly be connected to Islamicist terror – occurred over the weekend. In related news, doctors in Bavaria note that the Munich spree-shooter was…

Pay Your Way
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Donald Trump said if he is elected President and NATO is attacked, the United States would defend the countries that are doing their share to defend themselves. Liberals and Neo-Cons are aghast. What? Expect European nations to pay their fair share of their own defense? Outrageous. Except that…

I Heard It On The NARN

NARN’s The Frequency, Kenneth
Today, the Northern Alliance Radio Network – America’s first grass-roots talk radio show – is on the air! I will be on live from 1-3PM today! AJ Kern, who’s running against Tom Emmer in the CD6 primary in a couple of weeks, will join me around 2ish. Don’t forget – King Banaian is on from 9-11AM on AM1440, and Brad…

Berg’s
SeventeenthEighteenth Law Is In Full EffectA mass shooting in München (Munich) is just breaking. Motives are nowhere close to being known – some sources claim “terrorism”, others are invoking Anders Breivik the anti-immigrant Norwegian who killed 70+ a few years ago. Berg’s Eighteenth Law is iron-clad. UPDATE: Hmmmm: A witness who wanted to be identified only by her first name, Lauretta,…

10:15 Thursday Night
Mitch BERG is walking on the sidewalk past the “Safe Space” – a Saint Paul bar catering to “progressives”, featuring free-range beer, organic locally-sourced chips and pretzels, and gluten-free “everyone wins” dart boards. Suddenly, Avery LIBRELLE gets off the bus, and removes a set of Apple earbuds connected to an iPhone. LIBRELLE notices BERG. …

Tradition!
If you can say one thing about “Minnesota United” – who, if all goes according to plan, will benefit from hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer largesse when they build their alleged stadium in the Midway one of these years – it’s that they’re a typical Minnesota team, through and through: A Minnesota team?…

Impropriety
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Suppose someone dropped off their real estate documents and I said “I’m very busy right now, I won’t be able to get to them for a couple of weeks. Unless you wanted to paperclip $100 bill to the documents, then I’d be willing to stay late to get them…

Cruz Control
A long-time friend of the blog writes: In Trump, we have many things- a candidate who is a master at marketing, a candidate who thinks he is in a popularity contest, a candidate who believes that the country is his personal reality show. Among the speeches during the last 3 days, most haven’t really had…

Policies Matter
Not so long ago, a not overly bright person on a community forum called me a “racist” for asking “what does Black Life Matter” actually want?” One might wonder if BLM is “racist” for finally answering my question. Thing is, their ideas aren’t entirely wrong: 1. End “broken windows” policing, which aggressively polices minor crimes…

Fuzzy Thought
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Suppose a guy walks down the interstate highway during rush hour, blocking traffic and stalling thousands of motorists for hours, and when arrested says: “I did it as an act of non-verbal communication to protest police violence because Black Lives Matter.” We know the First Amendment protects citizens’ right…

The Little Monetary Fund That Cried “Doom”
The International Monetary Fund, after predicting that Britons would be “praying for the sweet release of death” with the Brexit vote, scaled back the gloom and doom: After saying that leaving the European Union could trigger a UK recession, the International Monetary Fund now expects the British economy to grow by 1.7 per cent this…

Bedfellows
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: I was glad to see the City talking about Third Degree Riot charges – unlawful assembly including violence. About time. But the violence people were out-of-towners! We’re not responsible for them. Yes, you are. A group of people who voluntarily come together for the purpose of committing a crime…

Nope
Nope. No trend here. The exodus of restaurants from Minneapolis – with its onerous regulations, psychotic city offices, minimum wage laws and constant flirting with more mandatory benefits for part-time workers – is claiming high-end restaurants and, now, long-time staples of the Minneapolis food scene: After a 36-year run, Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar is…

Diversity Now!
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: If a White male lawyer represents a landlord in an eviction case where tenant is represented by a Black Lesbian lawyer, who should win? If you said “The race, sex and orientation of the lawyers doesn’t matter, what matters is the law and facts of the case,” then…

It Was Thirty Years Ago Today
I was in the control room at KSTP-AM. It was a hot, stiflingly muggy July day. I was screening calls for the Don Vogel show. With me in the control room were Dave Elvin, the other producer, and news director John MacDougall. I got a call on the hotline from John Lundell. Lundell –…

This Changes Everything!
Lest you were in doubt about the left’s motives re the 2nd Amendment: I am coming for your guns. That’s it. I’m figuring out away to come for them. — Andrew Minck (@AndrewMinck) July 18, 2016 Watch out – it’s Andrew Minck, “Educator, News Connoisseur, Marathoner, MinnPost News Quizmaster”, on Twitter. Promptly chirping in to…

Response?
Another mass shooting attack on police, killing three in Baton Rouge. What will the left and media try to do about it? My guess: they’ll try to reclassify Islamist violence as “right wing”. That’s what.

Perish The Thought
What – you want to tell me that a public union boss who’s an integral part of the machine in a major city that’s been run into the ground by decades of Democrat rule, doesn’t understand the concept of civil rights or the constitution? The hell you say! I’m just amazed that people thought this was…

Rumor Mill
To: Betsy Hodges, mayor, Minneapolis. From: Mitch Berg, ornery peasant Re: Rumors Mayor Hodges, Over the weekend, the rumor mill announced that you had told a gathering somewhere in Minneapolis you were planning on holding a “gun buyback”.
