  • 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…

  • When They Say No, They Mean Maybe; Maybe They Mean Yes

    First things (ahem) first: Jay Furst, the top editor at the Rochester (MN) Post-Bulletin, and I go way back, more or less.  He was working at the Jamestown Sun back when I was at my first radio job, during the tail end of the Carter administration.  When I moved to the Cities, he was working as…

  • Lie First, Lie Always: It’s Science!

    Rep. Kim Norton – the Rochester legislator who will be serving as Michael Bloomberg’s bag-woman in the coming session – has decided to try to put some numbers behind her increasingly strident and faith-based posturing on guns.  She posted these “survey” “results” on her Facebook page. How did it work?  I did say it was a…

  • Just A Hint

    A couple weeks ago, we noted that retiring representative Kim Norton who has pledged to carry a clot of gun-grabbing bills through the legislature this next session, has  asked for “a conversation about guns” on social media. And then blocked everyone that disagreed with her, instantly and comprehensively (as have with all other Minnesota gun grab…

  • Pick Your Enemies

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails about the erosion of civil liberty in the UK: And yet, if the homeowner had shot them breaking in, the homeowner would be the one in trouble. They know the real problem. Just like Barack Obama and Kim Norton do.

  • Just Curious

    I wonder if Rep. Kim Norton, and NY Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, think these people should have their civil rights squashed because some bureaucrat put them on a terrorist watch and/or “no fly” list? Or maybe this guy?

  • Representative Norton’s MkKarthyistic Kangaroo Kourts

    Yesterday, we noted that Rep. Kim Norton – the soon-to-be retired legislator from Rochester who’s going to be pushing the various gun-control bills that the DFL is copying and pasting from their benefactors at Bloomberg – accused people who oppose US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s “idea” of barring anyone on the government’s double-dog-secret “Terrorist Watch List”…

  • Komissar Kim Norton, MkKarthyist

    We’ve gone around and around with Representative Kim Norton of Rochester.  Norton, who is retiring from the Legislature after this coming session, is going to be carrying Michael Bloomberg’s water; she’ll be sponsoring, so we’re told, a number of gun control bills. Not that you can get a straight answer out of her; although she…

  • NARN It Off

    Today, the Northern Alliance Radio Network – America’s first grass-roots talk radio show – is on the air! I will be on live at the Minnesota State Fair COM from 1-3PM today! Today on the show, We’ll be talking with Andrew Rothman of GOCRA and Rob Doar of MNGOPAC about Kim Norton’s “gun violence” “proposals”, as well as…

  • Kimperious

    Over on the Facebook, Rep. Kim Norton – about whom we talked the other day – has asked for a “conversation about guns”. And, per usual DFLer practice in “conversations”, she seems to be deleting every comment that represents the other side of the “conversation”. I left a comment: Let’s see how long that lasts.…

  • If Not You, Who? If Not Now Next Session, When?

    As Joe Doakes noted in the comments re yesterday’s story about retiring DFL representative Kim Norton’s plans to push more pointless, time-wasting anti-Second Amendment legislation in the next legislative session, it would be not only funny, but the perfect response, for some member of the House to rise up and propose a kill-all amendment that would repeal the requirement…

  • Kimpotent

    Minnesota’s gun-rights movement has carried out probably the best single grassroots political reformation in recent state history; over the course of 20 years, Minnesota has gone from being an anti-gun state that flirted seriously with Chicago-style gun bans in the eighties, to being a state with a decent shall-issue law and a reasonable chance of…

  • Handicapping The House

    While the “Left MN” blog seems to be a re-boot of the late, demented but unlamented “Cucking Stool”, the site’s associate blogger Tony Petrangelo is one of those rare Minnesota leftybloggers who ought not be under police surveillance – a compliment I give rarely (becaiuse it’s rarely deserved).  Over the years, he’s written some excellent…

  • You Don’t Like Those Numbers? We’ll Keep Making Them Up ‘Til You Do!

    There used to be firearms ranges in the Twin Cities – places where shooters could go and practice and, perhaps more importantly, teach the kids how to handle and, even moreso, how not to handle guns. Metro-area DFL governments have pretty much squeezed out all the ranges within 20 miles of the Twin Cities proper.…
