Speaking Of Shots In The Dark: Welcome To the New Design!

JOY!!!!!
Calling Republicans “weird”, and demanding “Joy”, is about as substantive a policy discusion as you’re going to get from a 2024 Democrat. As Richard Fernandez reminded us in 2016, it’s largely Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert’s fault: The process went something like this: Someone said something on Fox News that mainstream liberalism didn’t like;…

Under Fire
The Minnesota Military and Veterans Museum is a non-partisan, private museum located inside Camp Ripley, up near Baxter. It published a book referencing MInnesotans’ involvement in twenty years of the Global War on Terror. It includes Governor Walz’s comments at a 9/11 address the the Capitol. I’ve screenshot this quote from those remarks: Let’s forget…

Ilhan, Unbound
Ilhan Omar won er primary against Don Samuels last night. And boy, was she a class act afterwards: So, if you’re a Don Samuels supporters in MInneapolis – a moderate, or just someone who’s sick of crime – I’ll invite you to take a look at Dalia Al Aqidi. She’s smart, She’s sane. She’s never…

Honor
SCENE: Mitch BERG is boxed in in at a stoplight. Avery LIBRELLE rides up in between cars on a recumbent e-bike. BERG ponders getting away over the sidewalk, but figures it’s not quite worth it. BERG: (dejectedly, resigned to the inevitable). Hey, Aver… LIBRELLE: Shut up, Merg. Republicans like you are slandering a good man…

New Opportunity For Republicans!
I was “yesterday years old”, as the kids say, when I learned about this: Truly we live in a time of miracles; there is now a pro-skyrocketing debt, pro-foreign-policy collapse, pro-Middle East war, pro-weaponization of the institutions against political opposition, pro-censorship, pro foreign policy of “losing slowly”, pro packing the SCOTUS, pro-crime, pro firearm confiscation,…

Misspoke
I didn’t know this until this morning- but Governor Klink still has a House of Representatives twitter account. It’s in effect a zombie account, but it’s out there. And as of this 0445 this morning, it’s still “mis-speaking” for the Governor: It’s all right there – for the time being, at least. If he “misspoke”,…

Republicans Pounce On Mostly Peaceful Austere Lawn Stylist
Judd Hoff is the DFL endorsed candidate running against Mary Franson in HD12B, the Alexandria area. He’s also a convicted felon, having threatened someone with a machete and served prison time. He’s also made a public display of stalking Rep. Franson, even moving in across the street from her to carry out his mania… …against…

“We Have A Pwan!”
Harris, unburdened by what is, has a plan to deal the border. Or so we’re told: Thing is, she is in power now. She and “President” Biden could do all of this today. How, “unburdened by the facts that have been” are Democrat voters?

I Heard It On The (Sunday) NARN
Doug Willetts is running for the MN House in HD52B. And here’s today’s song list:

Melting With Rage
SCENE: Mitch Berg is waiting for a coffee order before going on a road trip when Evan SCHMEISSER-JUNG, political scientist, walks into the room. SCHMEISSER-JUNG: Merg! BERG: Oh, hey, Evan. Long time no… SCHMEISSER-JUNG: Shut up! Did you see the results of the Twins game last night? BERG: Yeah, the bullpen kinda let us down……

The Numbers Don’t Lie
There are so many dismal statistics to frame Tim Walz’s reign here in Minnesota. But this one is among the most damning: Minnesota is #45 among states comparing in and out migration. For every six people that move to Minnesota, ten are leaving. Florida? For every 10 that leave, 27 immigrate. Texas gets 15 new…
-
Gwen Antoinette
Now that Tim Walz is enjoying the first of his fifteen minutes, it’s high time we revisit some of his greatest hits. Here’s Gwen Walz – who seems more and more like a Jill Biden character lately, and that’s not a good thig – talking about her, uh, odd perspective on the 2020 riots: As…

Technical Difficulties

In His Own Words
So, Governor and Veep Candidate Walz supports censorship of “misinformation” (which is defined by his sycophants in the media) and “hate speech”, which is defined by…him. I’m gonna guess this gets called “hateful misinformation”. One heartbeat away from the presidency, if America doesn’t wise up this fall.

Unsquadded
Can someone ask Cori Bush if I can get some blue cheese dressing with the word salad? That’s two “Squad” members out in two months. Wonder if that occurred to Kamala Harris before picking honorary “squad” member Tim Walz for Veep?

The Greatest
When Rolling Stone occasionally bothers to write about music, it can actually be… …readable. For example, this article, making and supporting the case that Creedence Clearwater Revival is the biggest thing in pop music today: I mean, it’s not wrong: CCR are the most awesomely bizarre case of a classic band that’s bigger than ever…

Under Advisement
Rochester DFLer Kim Hicks reports her home has been vandalized: Representatives for Hicks confirmed with FOX 9 that on Aug. 3, political signs in her yard, plus the siding on her home and a shed on her property were all vandalized by the masked intruders. “My family was a victim of racist vandalism at our…

Just To Be Clear…
I’m just a little bit overjoyed that Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz. How do I put this? Tim Walz is Bernie Sanders in an Elmer Fudd costume. Kamala Harris felt the need, for whatever reason – we’ll come back to that – to to whatever sliver of the Democrat Party that is to her left,…

Pouncing On Governor Klink

De-Origin Story
We in the conservative alt media often look forward to the demise of the mainstream media (StarTribune, I’m looking at you). And after the latest media outrage, we often repeat “you may think you hate the MSM – but you don’t hate them enough”. But how did they get this way? Richard “Wretchard” Fernandez, as…

Klink
As this is written, the Harris campaign is evaluating its VP choices. Inexplicably, Tim Walz is among them. He’s a brittle little man, who breaks down when prodded on debate stage. The state is stagnating: He squandered a $19B surplus and is driving the state to a deficit (just you watch, this December) just in…

Nothing Wrong Here
As part of the DFL’s “Most Secure Election System In The World (TM), the Minneapolis DFL held an early voting event over the weekend. At the Midtown Global Market. In the food court: You should read the entire Twitter thread. And maybe it’s time to start picketing Steve Simon’s office…

May Lor Xiong is running for the US House in CD4. She’s also an author! Here’s today’s music list: She’s also an author!

I’m Pouncing
How It Went: Governor Klink – in his “regular Joe” costume – claims credit for coining the “Weird” thing, the little playground chant that the Democrats apparently think is a political strategery How It’s Going: Wearing his “governor” costumer on Anderson Cooper, he’s dogpaddling away from the, er, phrase he claimed credit for it. And…

Ozymandias
When you listen to Twin Cities mainstream media people talk amongst themselves – especially the print hacks – something “weird” emerges. They admire the late Nick Coleman. The guy who taught all of us bloggers, 10-20 years ago, that boundless smug entitlement, arrogance, and clubby paternalism masquerading as “life experience” didn’t necessarily equal credibility. I…
