  • If You Have Ice Cream, I Shall Give You Ice Cream; If You Have None, I Shall Take It Away

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Just because you can’t pay your mortgage is no reason not to give you a mortgage.  That was the thinking behind CRA and it caused the housing crisis that tanked the economy for the last 10 years.  Seeing how well that worked, Social Justice Warriors in Seattle are expanding…

  • Lie First, Lie Always: Ninnies Gonna Ninny

    Guns are a public health crisis. Not the way anti-gun advocates claim they are, of course; gun deaths are down 50% in twenty years, and further still in places with more guns (not so much in Democrat-addled urban cesspools).  If cancer or heart disease deaths had dropped 50% in twenty years, “public health” advocates would…

  • Synergy!

    Marty Neuman – who took over Keegans when the great Terry Keegan retired – is bringing another of my favorite brands to Nordeast across from Surdyk’s: The owners of Keegan’s Irish Pub are opening a franchise location of Red’s Savoy Pizza next door to their University Avenue location, in what was formerly the clothing boutique Mona. Keegan’s…

  • La Generalissima

    On her Twitter page, Minneapolis city Council woman Alandra Cano refers to herself as a “Third World feminist” – or did, before she blocked me for questioning her thuggish ways last winter, when she published personal addresses, emails and phone numbers of her critics who had written her on the city of Minneapolis website. I couldn’t…

  • Philosophical Question

    Last week, I wrote about Minneapolis City Councilor Alondra Cano and Minneapolis NAACP president Nekima Levy-Pounds complaining about being “victims of racism” – Cano for having been criticized by her fellow councilpeople, Levy-Pounds for being scolded for barging in and interrupting giving public input at a Park Board meeting where public input was not on…

  • Alondra Cano: Bully

    You might recall Minneapolis City Councilor Alonda Cano; last winter, she was abusing her access to city data to “shame” people who criticized her support for Black Lives Matter.  Then, when called for alleged laziness by (of all outlets) the City Pages, she… …well, that actually brings us up to this week: Tuesday evening, it was Cano’s…

  • When You’ve Lost “City Pages”…

    City Pages turns on Alondra Cano. Which is not unusual – the City Pages, as always,  loves throwing dirt around. Perhaps more telling? Other members of Minneapolis is DFL-strangled city Council are turning on Cano: “She’s always late to meetings. Sometimes she doesn’t show up at all,” says a council member, who spoke to City Pages…

  • La Generalissima

    Alondra Cano – “third world feminist” (whatever that means) and Minneapolis City Councilwoman – took time off from not bothering with her actual constituents’ real problems to sound off, like every other demigogue, on the Freeman press conference yesterday. Her Facebook page seems to be set up to disallow copying, so I screenshot the whole…

  • Meet The DFL’s Praetorian Guard

    The City Pages – the Twin Cities’ media’s aggressively dumb and mindlessly aggressive little brother – engages in “Trump-shaming”, in an article that asks the question that’s on every Minnesotan’s “mind”: Who among us would give to Donald Trump? These people, that’s who. The article then publishes the names of everyone (they could find) who’s donated to Trump, from…

  • Alondra Cano: Transparent As An Iron Curtain, “Conversational” As Rain Man

    Busted last week for using public data to try to shame constituents who disagreed with her participation in a Black Lives Matter protest at the Mall of America, Alondra Cano is sorry… …that all you dissenters are such racisssss rubes: “It was not my intent to put anyone in danger by any means, and this…

  • Check Your Urban Liberal Privilege

    Minneapolis ninth Ward representative Alondra Cano likes to paint herself as the champion of the underprivileged… …while availing herself of that most excellent privilege, awesome vacations on the taxpayers dime. (And that other awesome liberal privilege, using the government she works for to strong-arm those she disagrees with, all the while claiming to be the…

  • Alondra Cano Doxxes The Halls With Abuse Of Power. Fa La La La La, La La La Lawless.

    Minneapolis City Councilwoman Alondra Cano makes no bones about the fact that she’s a progressive.  Her Twitter bio begins “Daughter of the Third World Feminist movement”, which may or may not be true, but she’s certainly a product of the sort of unbridled prosperity that First World free-marketeering has wrought; it takes a lot of…

  • For Those Afraid…

    … that a potential, currently unforeseen retirement from the state legislature by Phyllis Kahn would result in a shortage of completely daft, dotty ideas in Minnesota politics – fear not. Alondra Cano is ready to step in, without breaking a sweat. “If people want to go to the Y and exercise, well why aren’t all…

  • Because There Aren’t Enough Unemployed Blacks, Latinos And Immigrants In Minneapolis

    Minneapolis is now talking about following Seattle’s “lead” in raising the minimum wage to $15/hour. Council member Alondra Cano tells us she’s working with the U.S. Department of Labor to get a sense of the legal challenges the city could face if officials try to follow Seattle’s lead and raise the minimum wage within its…
