Our Semi-Constitutional Monarchy
By Mitch Berg
What says “One MInnesota” better than living in a million dollar lakeside mansion on the taxpayers dime?
As Minnesotans stagger through inflation, gas prices and an economy that is teetering on the brink of crisis, the state is putting $6 million into repairing the govenor’s mansion. The governor and his family will be parked in a lakeside house on Sunfish Lake, for $17,000 a month, for 18 months.
Why so posh?
We’re told it’s partly practical:
The state had a 17-point list of qualifications and indicated that the property would need to have security features, be relatively close to the Capitol and be open to “official ceremonial functions,” as is required by state law.
Now, I’m no expert, but I suspect the state’s got no shortage of suitable places for “official ceremonial functions”. We’ll come back to that.
And, we’re told, it’s partly security:
House Speaker Melissa Hortman, the top DFLer in the Minnesota Legislature, said she understands why space, security and neighborhood considerations make temporary lodging for the governor so expensive.
“When you have folks going to protest a governor at his house, you have the entire block of people who are there, not only the governor’s wife and children but the neighbors who didn’t necessarily sign up for this,” she said. “So, I’m not surprised that it’s an expensive proposition to house a governor in a secure location.”
As Hortman’s fellow DFLer Lisa Bender said, public safety is a privilege.
As someone whose house was on the edge of the DFL’s “room to destroy”, I think it’d be perfectly appropriate for the Walzes to get a place in the city, subject to the DFL’s capricious notion of law enforcement. Maybre someplace up at Plymouth and Sheridan.
Governor Klink responded with his usual grace and evenhandedness:
“I’m pretty agnostic, where I lay my head,” Walz said. “I certainly welcome if the legislators’ job is oversight. Go do it. It’s better than banning books. It’s better than demonizing kids. Go do that oversight. I accept whatever they find.”
Speaking of “doing the job” – Governor Klink has been making himself pretty scarce. He hasn’t responded by my repeated invitations – not even a curt “F*** Off” – but even the largely DFL-friendly Blois Olson:
Olson is being a bit of a pollyanna; their strategy is to stay within the bubble wrap; the Governor comes out of the mansion to do carefully stage-managed dog and pony shows like going to pizzerias and donut shops and the occasional train derailment, surrounded by his comms people and nice tame social media droogs, for some cheesecake photos, and then it’s back in isolation.
“Official ceremonial functions?” All the governor does is stuff his face while “Lieutenant Governor” Flanagan looks on, beaming like a proud mom.
They really do think they are royalty, don’t they?

Suppose we are at stalemate. NATO will not or cannot provide enough to Ukraine to support a counter offensive. Then we have a WWI style “static front,” seemingly designed to kill men and burn through supplies in a war of attrition. BTW, that strategy worked in WWI. The Germans made significant gains in Europe in the spring-Summer of 1918, but it was a shoot-the-moon offensive. When the allies, with their new friends the Americans, began their counter offensive in late Summer/Autumn 1918, German lines collapsed and their was nothing between them and Berlin.

Ukraine war: Germany sends much-awaited Leopard 2 tanks
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65095126
Germany got a lot of bad publicity when they were slow in committing to send those weapons. But then they were one of the few countries which actually managed to reliably deliver them. As Russia pulls 50 year old tanks out of storage, Ukraine gets state of the art.
I’m sure the Ukrainians are happy regardless that they are receiving such a high quality weapon even if it is in small numbers. Meanwhile Russians are using tanks from when Stalin was barely dead.

The Russians Are Pulling 70-Year-Old T-55 Tanks Out Of Storage”
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/03/22/the-russians-are-pulling-70-year-old-t-55-tanks-out-of-storage/
“The Soviet army finally replaced the last of its tens of thousands of T-54s and T-55s in the 1980s—and placed the survivors in storage as a war reserve.
“The T-55…steel armor is 200 millimeters thick at its thickest—a level of protection that even a single Ukrainian soldier firing a Carl Gustav recoilless rifle should have no trouble defeating.
To say nothing of Ukraine’s artillery and mines and, yes, its slowly growing arsenal of Western-made tanks.”
Yep, the Russian military is unable to produce enough new tanks, and is struggling to bring new ones into service. These tanks are as old as Putin himself. Do they work just as well as he does? Like Putin—the barrels may droop somewhat.

Damn I forgot to include “Expert World Historian” on the list of your accomplishments but:
You’re not an expert if you don’t have the credentials!
You love to brag about your indicia of wealth and privilege, why not brag about your CV?
What colleges count you among their alum?
What bachelor degrees do you hold?
Where did you get your Masters?
Where did you get your JD?
Where did you get your PhD(s)?
Where did you get your MD, what internships did you complete?
We know for sure Emery got his AS degree in (organic) chemistry from Ridgewater College in Wilmar MN and his Dr of Divinity Degree from getordained(dot)org.
Vlad is correct in saying “Listen to ChatGPT, it’s time to come clean”!
April 2nd, 2023 at 4:52 pm
Germany pledged 18 of its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. That’s not very many, and not their first-line tanks. Why aren’t they sending Pumas?
Because they don’t work. None of them work. Not a single one.
https://www.dw.com/en/puma-tanks-unusable-is-germanys-military-unfit-for-action/a-63955452
Oh, and Germany is out of bullets, too.
This is not a major commitment to defeating Russia, this is a PR move to keep Lesko Brandon from blowing up any more gas lines serving Germany.

Regarding Swiftee’s claim, I never predicted anything on when Ukraine’s war would end, but it is my prayer that Putin and his FSB cronies end up guests in a facility like Alcatraz or, better yet, Khovanskoye. With a few intelligent Russians realizing the morass they’re getting into (better get those T-34s and Mosin-Nagants ready!), it could well happen.
I maintain as well that appeal to authority fallacies like challenging Emery’s credentials aren’t going to win the debate for us. Wastes a lot of readers’ time, though.
April 2nd, 2023 at 5:25 pm
^ Just exactly how are these few intelligent Russians, realizing the morass they’re getting into (as you say), going to put Putin and his FSB cronies in a facility like Alcatraz or, better yet, Khovanskoye? I mean apart with your prayers.

The Bundeswehr’s own stock is “limited,” German defense minister Boris Pistorius has explained.
rAT Emery Esq., PhD, MBA, D Theology, MD & etc. responds:
“Yep, the Russian military is unable to produce enough new tanks, and is struggling to bring new ones into service.”
Germany is facing an 8 year resupply for their army. The US has prematurely shot off 5 years supply of munitions, and is down to their minimum supply; no stockpile. Chinese microchips are now in greater supply than Javelin antitank missiles.
This is a whole new dimension to three dimensional chess, rAT. Never seen anything like it.
Did you create this kind of logical spaghetti while a doctoral candidate, or during med school? Tia!
April 2nd, 2023 at 8:28 pm
I’d be glad if Pooh ended up at Alcatraz, or better yet, Khovanskoye.
Who are the intelligent Russians who might help? (and Chinese?) Friends of the hundreds of thousands of Russians who have left Russia so as not to become cannon fodder. They fired a warning shot–or perhaps a warning matryoschka–in St. Petersburg today. There will at some point be a general or someone who looks at the casualty lists and the destruction of the Russian Army’s capabilities and says “enough is enough, Dobby needs to go.”
And the same basic thing holds for Chairman Pooh if he gets a few million Chinese killed trying to invade Taiwan.

Russia confiscates passports of senior officials to stop defections

And this is why we don’t want to be like Russia or be subjugated to similar dictatorships and autocracies. The sad truth is that Russians will take almost anything from their leaders. Russians build and maintain this totalitarian state themselves. Suffering is just normal to them.
Putin is just a weak old man. He could not do anything without millions of willing helpers like Swift.
April 3rd, 2023 at 8:51 am

The kind of people who were yelling “lock her up”,
Were the kind of people who think hosting your own e-mail server in your home, to get around government records retention policies, along with evidence that you destroyed potential evidence in the form of 33,000 e-mails, is indicative of criminal activity.
who will vote every time for the “law and order” party and who in response to every cop shooting of a black kid who may or may not have committed a minor infraction will say “just follow the law and you won’t have a problem”.
Let’s talk about the “patron saints” of BLM: Trayvon Martin busted George Zimmerman’s head open. Michael Brown went for Ofc. Darren Wilson’s gun. When law enforcement goes too far, the law enforcer becomes the lawbreaker. Just ask Derek Chauvin and Kim Potter.
Also the kind who will tell you that radical democrats are ruining our children by letting them know that gay people exist
How does the sexual history of a teacher of grades K-4 factor into the lesson plan, again?
but the man who paid a porn star to stay quiet about his extramarital affair is supposedly the defender of traditional family values.
If and until that charge is proven in a court of law, you really do need to say “allegedly paid a porn star”. The man’s questionable track record on morality as pertains to family values was known prior to the 2016 election. Still people voted for him. Because the Democrats couldn’t apparently field anyone other than someone, based on her own track record, with her own moral flexibility. It’s called choosing the lesser of two evils. But because forgiveness and redemption is a central tenet of Christianity, why be surprised when evangelical leaders still meet with the man? The same ministers and priests will visit murderers on Death Row.

So what is the evidence that Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels?
She says so.
She has given few details about the encounter, and they are kind of hazy and dreamlike. They met at a charity golf tournament. They went to his hotel room. Somewhere around Lake Tahoe. They did the dirty deed and she left.
As far as I can tell, no one has ever tried to pin down the date, the time of day, the name of the golf tournament, the name of the hotel, and a detailed explanation of what occurred in the hotel room.

It’s not as though Daniels is reluctant to be interviewed or unwilling to talk about the subject of her supposed fling with Trump. None of the journalists seems willing to ask the questions you would normally ask a person making an uncorroborated claim against a sitting or ex president.

Considering all the things you profess expertise in, Emery, I’m surprised criminal law isn’t one of them.
Of course, the notion of the presumption of innocence is something any American who takes a basic civics class knows.
Unless, you’re Nancy Pelosi.

^^ Warren Harding and his coterie of insiders didn’t have a mass popular following. Neither did Nixon, despite the whitewashing of this sordid associate of by right-wing apologists. Bill Clinton’s lying was unrelated to subverting the Constitution and overthrowing democracy —Trump’s public crimes. Donald Trump is unique in leading a mass popular movement addicted to tribal identity politics as superior to any system of law.

@ woolly— Saudi Arabia pursuing a different strategy than the US. What a shocker! Clearly, the entire US shale industry only exists as long as OPEC wants it to — doesn’t sound like a healthy power balance.

Saudi needs oil at $85 a barrel, this is not new, this has been its stated aim for 10 years. Prices almost dropped below $70/barrel. This move is hardly surprising.

Great piece in Tablet this month (rest easy, Vlad):
In a technical or structural sense, the censorship regime’s aim is not to censor or to oppress, but to rule. That’s why the authorities can never be labeled as guilty of disinformation. Not when they lied about Hunter Biden’s laptops, not when they claimed that the lab leak was a racist conspiracy, not when they said that vaccines stopped transmission of the novel coronavirus. Disinformation, now and for all time, is whatever they say it is. That is not a sign that the concept is being misused or corrupted; it is the precise functioning of a totalitarian system.

TITLE: Aviation Security: TSA Is Enhancing Its Oversight of Air
Carrier Efforts to Identify Passengers on the No Fly and Selectee
Lists, but Expects Ultimate Solution to Be Implementation of
Secure Flight Program
Air carriers remain a front-line defense against acts of terrorism that
target the nation’s civil aviation system. A key responsibility of air
carriers is to check passengers names against terrorist watch-list
records to identify persons who should be prevented from boarding (the
No Fly List) or who should undergo additional security scrutiny (the
Selectee List). Eventually, the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) is to assume this responsibility through its Secure Flight
program. GAO examined (1) the watch-list-matching requirements air
carriers must follow that have been established by TSA, and (2) the
extent to which TSA has assessed air carriers compliance with these
requirements. GAO reviewed TSA’s security directives, internal guidance
used by TSA’s inspectors to assess air carriers compliance with
requirements, and inspection results, as well as interviewed staff from
14 of 95 domestic air carriers (selected to reflect a range in
operational sizes). This report is the public version of a restricted

Because Democrats are all about enforcing the law, “without fear or favor.”
And, just because it is 2023, we learn today Renee DiResta, director of Stanford’s Internet Observatory & the godmother of the disinformation prevention industry, once worked for the CIA.
Hardly seems worth mentioning that DiResta is a die hard “Russian Collusion” believer. Trump really did drive these people mad.
