A longtime friend of the blog writes :
First off, if Minneapolis were really serious about saving gas mileage, they’d make the streets drivable by stopping so many bike lanes that have forced cars onto more and more dismal main arteries that are clogged with traffic while the bike lanes are empty (especially from November through March. This is something that the city council could actually have an effect on fuel mileage. Quit whining about things out of their jurisdiction. Could you imagine the fuel savings if we could actually get from point a to point b without total traffic congestion in my fair city?
Second let me paraphrase the section on Ellison with italics indicating what I changed.
Could also be said by Dave Orrick in the PiPress, “Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump. It’s all about Donald Trump, at least according a Democratic narrative as part of the every wave of what promises to be a tide of political attack ads coming to Minnesota’s 2018 election season. Even in races where Trump isn’t running, from the U.S. Senate high on the ballot down to state House races, he’s under attack. … The ads and social media messages basically say this: Republican candidate (insert name) has refused to condemn Donald Trump for (insert issue here). He/she should be ashamed.”
Sheesh Mitch. Such a world we live in.
Trump is something the Left can deflect to – or so it thinks – forever.
“Are you better off now than you were two years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was two years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was two years ago?
I’m Candidate X and I approve this message.”
If Demo-fascists want to play by their old playbook, maybe the pubbies should break out Reagan’s.
If the Twin Cities were really serious about reducing pollution, they’d get rid of all the carpool lanes and end state subsidies for daycare for the middle class, too–and see how many moms said “the heck with it.” I’m guessing a few thousand would.
I have heeded the call of the Minneapolis leadership, and determined that I will not set one wheel, or foot, inside the city.
I bet that within 5 years, the Mpls city council seriously starts investigating what it would take to implement a congestion charge like London’s.
