Dayton's dishonesty
Brian Bakst's AP article contains this quote, which proves Gov. Dayton will lie if that's what he thinks he needs to get elected:
Dayton sees it as "an indication of how desperate the Republicans are to find something to complain about because they know the economy is improving and growing rapidly."
Gov. Dayton's statement is, at minimum, fiction. At most, it's an outright lie. If Minnesota's economy is "growing rapidly", as Gov. Dayton insists, why haven't revenues met projections 5 of the last 6 months? If Minnesota's economy is "growing rapidly," why did revenues fall 6.6% short of projections last month?
There's little doubt in my mind that Gov. Dayton will continue repeating that fiction the rest of the campaign. He isn't worried that the media will question his statement. Brian Bakst certainly didn't question Gov. Dayton's statement. I haven't seen other reporters question the Alliance for a Better Minnesota's latest video that insists that Minnesota is working, either.
Let's be blunt about this. Gov. Dayton hasn't hesitated in insisting that Minnesota's economy is doing well. ABM hasn't hesitated in insisting that life under Gov. Dayton is a return to the DFL's glory days. The Twin Cities media hasn't questioned the voracity of Gov. Dayton's statements or ABM's lies.
ABM won't say anything about the fact that DEED just announced the fact that Minnesota's economy just lost 7,800 in the last jobs report. DEED reported that Minnesota's economy shrunk by 4,200 jobs in July and that they'd overestimated the number of jobs created in June by 3,600.
Gov. Dayton certainly won't talk about the verifie fact that Minnesota's economy has create a pathetic 2,900 jobs thus far this year. Why would he when he knows that ABM will lie for him and the Twin Cities media won't question him?
If Republicans don't start questioning the media, Gov. Dayton and ABM, they'll lose this highly winnable election. When I say Republicans, that's everyone from Keith Downey to Jeff Johnson and Bill Quisle to legislative candidates like Dale Lueck and Jim Knoblach to the activists working to win over voters, then getting them to vote for Republicans.
"The Republicans are right in saying the economy still looks dismal relative to reasonable expectations," Chari said. "The Democrats are also right in saying there's only a limited amount in what a governor of a relatively small state can do when faced with headwinds this strong."
Actually, this graphic says that a governor's policies can have a rather dramatic impact on the economy:
That graphic is proof that job creation tanked after the Dayton-DFL tax increase went into effect. That graphic verifies as fact that Minnesota's economy has created few jobs this year. While jobs were created by the hundreds when Republicans had the majority in the House and Senate, jobs are being create by the dozens since the Dayton-DFL tax increases took effect. In fact, Minnesota had negative job growth last month.
It isn't surprising that Gov. Dayton and the Alliance for a Better Minnesota is telling whoppers about the state of the state's economy. It's up to Jeff Johnson and the Republican Party of Minnesota to swat down Gov. Dayton's and ABM's myths.
The statistics are there. All we have to do is tell the truth.

MnSCU's inefficiency exposed
This article highlights how inefficient MnSCU is. It highlights MnSCU's secret $2,000,000 contract with McKinsey Consulting. It also highlights the lengths that McKinsey went to to hide what they did for that $2,000,000.
In December, MnSCU sought "change management" proposals from consulting companies. The system received two, which it recently released.
Accenture offered to "make the initial investment" of six weeks of services worth $500,000. Then, the company and MnSCU would agree on payments based in part of results the company delivers over two years, such as securing outside funding for the initiative. The hourly pay for employees was the only redacted part of that proposal.
Accenture, headquartered in Ireland, declined to comment.
In the McKinsey proposal, most of the 133 pages were blacked out as trade secrets, including information about past projects, employee bios and a section that starts, "McKinsey is the best partner for MnSCU because of our ..." Experts on the state Government Data Practices Act such as former state information policy director Don Gemberling said "there's no way" so much of McKinsey's proposal fits the state's narrow definition of a trade secret.
Saying that the contrast between Accenture an McKinsey is stark is understatement. Accenture's proposal wasn't redacted. McKinsey's proposal was almost totally redacted.
Because McKinsey insisted on this high level of secrecy, it's difficult trusting them. McKinsey's actions suggest that they're hiding things that taxpayers have a right to know. That isn't the only thing that's troublesome about McKinsey's actions:
But Bonoff, D-Minnetonka, said she came out of her meeting with Rosenstone and Welsh convinced McKinsey provided worthwhile support -- and MnSCU learned a lesson about transparency.
"I left pretty pleased," she said. "I felt they were on to something and the chancellor is doing his best to let the change happen from within."
Apparently, it didn't take much to please Sen. Bonoff. Did Sen. Bonoff learn what McKinsey did to earn their $2,000,000? If she did, then it's her responsibility to publish a report detailing McKinsey's actions that justify their extravagant pay. If Sen. Bonoff just issues this statement, then people are left wondering if she's just playing the role of PR flack or if McKinsey actually earned their money.
In fact, regardless of whether Sen. Bonoff publishes a report on her meetings, MnSCU owes Minnesotans a detailed report on the special insights McKinsey brought to the table. If Prof. Dean Frost is right, McKinsey was vastly overpaid:
Dean Frost, a professor at Bemidji State University and a former management consultant who reviewed some of the documents McKinsey produced, said the playbooks feature general, common-sense instructions on conducting a task force. He said the supporting research mostly includes publicly available materials rather than reports generated specially for MnSCU.
Without a detailed report from MnSCU outlining McKinsey's work, Minnesotans should think that MnSCU ripped them off by spending $2,000,000 on a product they could've done themselves.
Chancellor Rosenstone should be brought before the House and Senate higher ed committees to explain why he signed off on spending $2,000,000 this foolishly. Further, he should be specifically asked why he agreed to such a secretive contract. This is the public's money. They have the right to know how their money is spent. Rosenstone should be asked which management skills McKinsey brought to the project. Additionally, he should be askd why he still hasn't released the unredacted contract. Finally, he should be questioned why he hasn't put a high priority on being transparent.
Sen. Bonoff said that she's "pretty pleased" with what McKinsey brought to the table, though she didn't say what impressed her. That's pretty flimsy. Still, it's better than Rep. Pelowski sitting silent on the subject.

TEA Party terrorists?
After 5 years of seeing the Left's intentionall vilification of the TEA Party, I thought I'd seen everything. Then I read John Hinderaker's post about an organization called Shut Down the TEA Party. A light bit of research shows that Shut Down the TEA Party is a website sponsored by the DSCC , aka the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee.
What's particularly troubling, though, is this 'information' from the DSCC's Facebook page :
The Tea Party is a terrorist organization. It is time to shut it down before it destroys the country.
Included in the DSCC's facebook page is this classy photo:
First, it's telling that the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee thinks that the TEA Party is a terrorist organization. That explains why they told the IRS to investigate TEA Party organizations. Apparently, Democrats think the TEA Party is the equivalent of al-Qa'ida or ISIL. Either that or they hate the thought of efficient government that doesn't spend our money foolishly.
What the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee is disgusting. They've all but officially said that they're opposed to spending taxpayers' money efficiently. The Democratic Senate Campaign Committee has essentially said that they're for inefficient government that puts a higher priority on pleasing their special interest allies than it puts on pleasing their constituents.
The Democratic Senate Campaign Committee just vilified people who want to be treated with respect. Instead, the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee identified themselves as not being public servants.
I won't pretend that Republicans are pure as freshly fallen snow. I don't have to pretend, though, that TEA Party activists are committed to electing people who are public servants. If that makes TEA Party activists terrorists in the minds of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, then that's all we need to know about the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee's character and judgment.

It seems to me that the press thinks there are no women tea party supporters, or they are all sheep. Women are overtaxed, too.

David Strom's strong op-ed
David Strom's op-ed highlights the fact that Minnesota's economy isn't as strong as Gov. Dayton and the Alliance for a Better Minnesota have said it is:
Just a few years ago, more than 75 percent of adults in Minnesota were in the workforce. Now that number is 70.1 percent - yet that 5 percentage-point difference isn't actually counted in the unemployment number, because unemployment only measures people 'in the workforce.'
That's thousands of people who fall into the category of 'discouraged worker;' you and I probably think of them as having given up looking for work.
Gov. Dayton's quote about Minnesota's economy is utterly dishonest:
"The economy is improving and growing rapidly.'
Either Gov. Dayton isn't honest or his grip on reality isn't that tight. An economy can't be "growing rapidly" when tens of thousands of people have given up looking for work. Rapidly growing economies are characterized by people jumping into the workforce:
Workforce participation peaked in the Clinton years, and slowly drifted down post 9/11. Finally, in 2006 it started rising again, as the economy recovered until the crash.
Since then, it has plummeted, and is still declining.
When an economy is really booming, the workforce expands because opportunity is out there. We simply aren't seeing that, and people aren't feeling it either.
There's no doubt that Gov. Dayton and ABM will continue their mantra that Minnesota's economy is getting stronger each day Gov. Dayton is in office. That it isn't growing rapidly isn't their concern because they aren't worried about telling the truth. They're only worried about getting Gov. Dayton re-elected.
There are other warning signs we should be paying attention to: tax revenues have come in under projections in 5 of the past 6 months, signaling that the economy isn't doing as well as economists predicted. Much of that shortfall is due to poor income tax collections, indicating that people aren't making as much money.
There's little doubt that we're heading for a significant deficit. The only question is how we'll choose to fix it. Gov. Dayton raised taxes on "the rich" in 2013, which means he can't raise their taxes again without cratering Minnesota's economy. The DFL won't cut spending, either, which means Gov. Dayton and the DFL will deplete the state's Rainy Day Fund. Once they've depleted the Rainy Day Fund, which seems inevitable, then it'll be a matter of whether Gov. Dayton and the DFL will raise taxes on the middle class.
Mark Dayton risks looking out of touch if he touts the Minnesota economy too much. Hardly anyone thinks things are 'booming' right now, unless you count the people striking out for the Bakken oil fields. Most of us, in fact, feel like we are just hanging on, thankful for the job we have, and worried that it might not be there this time next year.
The other people that think Minnesota's economy is booming are the 21,523 people who've been hired by the government. If you're looking for work in the government, then St. Paul or DC is the place to be. If you want private sector work, however, Minnesota isn't that great.

Dayton-Dakota Dreaming
Gov. Dayton's dreaming is interesting:
During a rail safety meeting in Red Wing last week, DFL Gov. Mark Dayton said Minnesota does not enjoy much economic benefit from the trains carrying highly volatile crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken region.
That led the governor at one point to joke, "Every night I dream before I go to sleep of mobilizing the National Guard and annexing North Dakota."
He then quickly followed that statement by saying he'd just been interested in annexing the part of the state will oil, "They can have the rest of it." That generated plenty of laughter among the audience gathered at the Red Wing Public Library.
"But," Dayton added, "that's obviously not an option." - Heather J. Carlson
It's interesting that Gov. Dayton brought up North Dakota's oil because Minnesota is sitting on a different economic goldmine. While it's true the PolyMet and Twin Metals projects won't have the economic impact that the Bakken will have, there's no question those mining projects would positively impact Minnesota's economy for a generation.
The great news is that we don't have to annex the land where the PolyMet and Twin Metals projects would be built. The bad news is that we've got Gov. Dayton kowtowing to the environmental activists. Developing those mines would be fantastic.
My personal dream is to develop those mines while jettisoning Gov. Dayton and the environmental activists. I know that it isn't possible to get rid of the environmental activists but it's quite possible to replace Gov. Dayton with Gov.-Elect Johnson.
The thing is that it isn't possible to develop mining if Gov. Dayton is re-elected.

Exposing phony Democrats
Ed Rogers' post highlights the lengths to which they'll go to run away from Harry Reid:
Georgia's Democratic Senate candidate, Michelle Nunn, recently suggested she might not vote for Harry Reid to be Democratic Senate leader if she wins her election. That the first vote Democratic senators would take would be to reelect Harry Reid, and thereby support and maintain the status quo in Washington, is a potent weapon for Republicans to use against Democratic candidates. In a well-rehearsed statement, Nunn told reporters that she 'looks forward to changing the composition in the leadership of the Senate' and 'will vote for the Democratic leader that...best represents our capacity to get things done.'
It's impossible to take this seriously. If Ms. Nunn abstains from voting, Sen. Reid will know who abstained. That's the moment at which she'll be ostracized by Sen. Reid.
This type of posturing embodies the deceit Nunn's entire campaign is based on. (Remember the leaked memo of her campaign strategy that exposed how contrived and fabricated her image really is?) But she is not the only Democrat who is resorting to these tactics in an attempt to get votes. If reelected, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) is not going to stand up to the president and make a difference on the Keystone XL pipeline . Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes has already proven she doesn't really care about coal , no matter what she says on the campaign trail. And the very notion that Nunn wouldn't fall into lockstep with the Democrats as soon as she crossed into the Beltway is just ridiculous. Democratic candidates seem to be counting on voters being really stupid. It is painfully obvious that much of what they say is not sincere.
If Republicans don't push Nunn, Grimes and Landrieu on their phoniness, they should be slapped silly. Lundergan-Grimes won't push Sen. Reid or President Obama about coal. She'll vote for the Democrats' budget, which will give President Obama's EPA the authority to decimate the coal industry. Landrieu won't push President Obama over the Keystone XL Pipeline even though her state would benefit from building it.
Nunn, though, is the biggest phony of the trio, though. Sam Nunn was a truly moderate Democrat. His daughter, however, is a true believer in President Obama's agenda. She's also lacking his political skills.
This trio of Democrats come from famous political families. That's the good news for Democrats. The bad news for Democrats is that they're each as phony as a $3 bill. That might've worked in the 1990s but it doesn't work in a TEA Party environment.

Watchdog exposes Democrats' witch hunt machine
Thanks to this article by the Wisconsin Reporter , conservatives can learn about the Democratic Party's witch hunt machine. Anyone that thinks Democrats are nice people that conservatives simply disagree with is badly mistaken. Read the article, then tell me that:
MADISON, Wis. - Conservative targets of a Democrat-launched John Doe investigation have described the secret probe as a witch hunt.
That might not be a big enough descriptor, based on records released Friday by a federal appeals court as part of a massive document dump .
Attorneys for conservative activist Eric O'Keefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth point to subpoenas requested by John Doe prosecutors that sought records from 'at least eight phone companies' believed to serve the targets of the investigation. O'Keefe and the club have filed a civil rights lawsuit against John Doe prosecutors, alleging they violated conservatives' First Amendment rights.
That the John Doe prosecutors tried to get records from "at least eight phone companies" is frightening enough. Who needs the NSA when Wisconsin has these John Doe prosecutors. Unfortunately, it doesn't end there:
Subpoenas also demanded the conservatives' bank records, 'emails from every major private email provider' and other information in what some have described as a mini-NSA (National Security Agency) operation in Wisconsin.
'In fact, Defendants' submissions confirm and expand upon the scope and intensity of retaliation previously demonstrated,' O'Keefe's attorney wrote in documents ordered unsealed by the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
Anyone that thinks this is just a case of some rogue prosecutors gone bad apparently hasn't paid attention to Rosemary Lehmberg's indictment of Gov. Rick Perry, (R-TX). These naive people should read this, too:
Chisholm, a Democrat, launched the dragnet two years ago, and, according to court documents, with the help of the state Government Accountability Board, the probe was expanded to five counties. The John Doe proceeding compelled scores of witnesses to testify, and a gag order compelled them to keep their mouths shut or face jail time. Sources have described predawn 'paramilitary-style' raids in which their posessions were rifled through and seized by law enforcement officers.
If you thought that weaponized government was just a term used by paranoid conservatives, you'd better rethink things. This is proof that some Democratic prosecutors will use their office for blatantly political purposes. Again and unfortunately, that isn't all these Democratic thugs with law degrees did. Here's more:
Court documents show the extraordinary breadth of the prosecutors' subpoena requests.
They sought phone records for a year-and-a-half period, 'which happened to be the most contentious period in political politics,' the conservatives note. They note that prosecutors did not pursue the same tactics with left-leaning organizations that pumped tens of millions of dollars into Wisconsin's recall elections , in what certainly appeared to be a well-coordinated effort.
Among other documents, prosecutors sought 'all call detail records including incoming and outgoing calls,' 'billing name and information,' 'subscriber name and information including any application for service,' according to the conservatives' court filing.
In other words, these Democrats wanted confidential information. That's why the Wisconsin Club for Growth and Eric O'Keefe filed their civil rights lawsuit.
There's little doubt that these Democrats would've used the information they gathered through their witch hunt to chill these conservatives' desire to participate in the political process. The only retaliation against these Democrats is to a)prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law when possible, b) end their political careers by removing them from their positions of political power and c) pressure Democrat politicians into passing sweeping reforms to prevent these fishing expeditions from today going forward.
If Democrats aren't willing to limit rogue prosecutors' ability to conduct political fishing expeditions, then we'll know that they approve of these Democrats' behavior.
Thanks to M.D. Kittle and the Wisconsin Reporter, we now know that these Democrats were attempting to chill conservatives from exercising their right to participate in the political process. This needs to be stopped ASAP and it needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.

Dayton Dakota Dreaming, Part II
Yestedray, I wrote this post to highlight Gov. Dayton's juvenile jab at North Dakota. Here's what he said that caught my attention:
'Every night I dream before I go to sleep of mobilizing the National Guard and annexing North Dakota.' He then quickly followed that statement by saying he'd just been interested in annexing the part of the state will oil, 'They can have the rest of it.'
Apparently, North Dakotans don't care about Gov. Dayton's juvenile statement. This Gallup poll is telling. This graphic is exceptionally telling:
Gov. Dayton and the DFL should study this graphic before making another childish statement:
North Dakotans are not just satisfied with their economy, however. Across the 50 states, North Dakotans are the most likely to rate their K-12 education as excellent or good, to agree that their schools prepare students to get a good job, and to be satisfied with the education system or schools overall.
I can hear Gov. Dayton, the DFL and the Alliance for a Better Minnesota screaming that this can't be. In Gov. Dayton's and the DFL's minds, Minnesota is the education state in the Upper Midwest.
What's most telling, though, is that Dakotans think their air quality is great. The percentage of people that said they were satisfied with their air quality was the highest in the nation. The percentage of people who said that they were satisfied with their water quality was above average nationally.
Gov. Dayton and the metrocentric DFL should take a look at this:
"Oil is a very thick frosting on a very nicely baked cake," Peterson says. Oil had been found in North Dakota before, but Dalrymple, Peterson, and Al Anderson, North Dakota state commerce commissioner, agree that the volume and velocity of the boom was unexpected. Dalrymple says there were 200,000 barrels a day in 2009, compared with 1 million barrels a day now.
"The rapid evolution of the oil industry was not foreseen," says Anderson. "We had seen oil booms come and go but now the technology has changed," Peterson says. "We didn't realize how much oil was in the ground. We found ways to extract oil that we could never expect."
In addition to oil, success in agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism are contributing factors to North Dakota's having the lowest unemployment in the U.S. for the past four years. The state has added 116,000 jobs since 2000, a job-growth increase of 35.6%. Net migration in the state is up 12.7% since 2000. This onrush of new jobs and workers has strained the housing market. North Dakota residents are fully aware of this, as 61% say they are satisfied with the availability of affordable housing in their state, one of the lowest in the nation.
Gov. Dayton and the DFL insist that North Dakota's economic boom is tied to the Bakken boom. There's no denying that it's a huge factor in North Dakota's economic success. Still, there's no denying the fact that manufacturing and agriculture play a big role in North Dakota's economic boom time.
At a time when Gov. Dayton and the DFL are trying to make Minnesota's economy more metrocentric, they should be looking at the success our neighbors to the west are experiencing.

Burton: Stop complaining about Obama's golf
Bill Burton's op-ed about President Obama's frequent golf outings is a nice attempt to distract from Americans' chief complaint:
I thought that going on vacation with the president would be a real perk of serving as deputy press secretary in the Obama White House.
Don't get me wrong: Some elements of it are amazing. When you do find some down time, you can find yourself in one of the most beautiful places on Earth enjoying its splendor with the leader of the free world and your buddies.
That is - when you can find some down time.
As Washington chews over yet another presidential 'vacation,' and that most Washington of words - optics - let me take you behind the scenes of the last time President Obama took flack for supposedly being 'disengaged' while world events marched on around him.
First, let's dispatch with the word optics. It's mostly used by liberal journalists who then ignore the problem. Yes, the optics are terrible when the supposed leader of the free world talks somberly about the beheading of an American journalist, then is seen joking and fist-pumping an hour later.
When those things happen, it's natural for people to question President Obama's sincerity and his commitment to ridding the Middle East of terrorists.
What actions did President Obama put into action from the sand trap on the 9th hole? Did he finally figure it out that ISIL is a real threat to the American homeland while putting on the 15th hole? If he didn't figure that out on the 15th, did he get word of Gen. Dempsey's statement that we'd need to take out ISIL's command-and-control while driving up to the 18th green? By the time he got back to his compound, had he called Gen. Dempsey and told him to stop talking about ISIL as a threat more dangerous than al-Qa'ida?
It was Christmas Day 2009. Osama bin Laden was still at large. A 23-year-old Nigerian man was caught trying to bring down a passenger airliner headed for Detroit - which would have been the most devastating terrorist attack since 9/11. The day of, and the days that followed, the botched bombing saw the president and his staff, in Hawaii, at the White House and scattered across the country on their own family vacations - snap to attention and drop everything else to make sure we were doing all we could to keep Americans safe.
The president was not a passive bystander. He led America's response to the apparent terrorist attack, soaking up new information as it came in, running meetings and issuing orders. As a regular matter of course, vacation or not, the president is briefed on intelligence every day. In this instance, he was receiving twice-daily updates on the situation in Detroit as well as three-times-daily updates on matters around the world from the Situation Room. As events developed, the president was directing his national security team - cabinet secretaries, intelligence officials and the military. He was awash in reports from the government and from the media.
Thank God for the Obama administration snapping to immediate attention. If only they hadn't told law enforcement to read the failed bomber his Miranda rights.
While it's true the optics have stunk all summer, the truth is that President Obama's policies have been disastrous. That, Mr. Burton, is what Americans are most worried about. Russia annexes Crimea. President Obama proposes limited sanctions on a handful of Russian billionaires. When ISIL captured Fallujah, President Obama called ISIL a jayvee team. When ISIL threatened to capture Baghdad, President Obama talked about the need for Iraq to sing kumbayah.
When Hamas killed Israelis, President Obama criticized Israel for not being gentle enough on terrorists who then hid behind 5-year-old human shields otherwise known as children. When missiles were found in a UN-run school, he dispatched John Kerry to the region, where Kerry's plan was immediately rejected by the responsible nations of the region.
Just once, it'd be nice if the administration would get a policy decision right.
Unfortunately for America, it's more likely that President Obama will hit a hole-in-one on his next vacation than he's likely to make a solid policy decision.
