DFL is giving the election away

If people haven't noticed, the DFL is throwing this year's election away. The DFL is throwing it away in multiple ways. First, the DFL supported Gov. Walz's autocratic rules during the COVID pandemic. Gov. Walz shut down Minnesota's economy, then kept it shut way longer than it needed to be. Meanwhile, Gov. Walz ignored the people while trusting a COVID model thrown together by a pair of college grad students over a weekend. Nothing says trust me like a COVID model that's highly inaccurate but wasn't peer-reviewed.

The 'Party of Government' put together a COVID model that, initially, was off by 20,000 in terms of deaths. Then we were told that we had to still shelter-in-place to prevent the peak from overwhelming hospitals and clinics. According to the grad student models, that's still a month away. What a joke. The so-called 'Party of Government' is the actually the 'Party of Incompetence.'

Next came the protests in front of the Governor's mansion. People were mad as hell with Gov. Walz and they let him know about it. They let Gov. Walz and the DFL know that they didn't appreciate them boarding up their businesses while sending recovering COVID patients to nursing homes. People didn't like that because it killed seniors living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities unnecessarily.

After George Floyd's murder, the DFL decided that this was the time that they could push their farther-than-far-left agenda. The DFL started with protests, then moved to looting and pillaging before advancing to rioting and vandalism. It didn't help that the House Majority Leader tweeted that a gas tanker truck had plowed into people and that this driver's truck was covered with confederate flags and "white nationalist insignias':


The DFL is telling their most loyal constituency, the minority community, that they aren't worthy of police protection. On top of all that, native Americans tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus that's located on the Capitol grounds. While that statue was toppled, State Troopers were ordered to stand down. After the statue was toppled, the Troopers were instructed to stand in a circle around the toppled statue:

Nothing says societal instability like a lack of law enforcement and a spineless governor. Gov. Walz won't stand up to the special interests. We know that because he hasn't done that yet. Why would we think that he'll change that pattern now? Further, these special interests are led by idiots like Jeremiah Ellison and Lisa Bender and extremists like Steve Fletcher.

That trio, combined with Tim Walz and Jacob Frey, are the faces of the DFL Office of Incompetence and Stupidity. If you want to find that office in the State organizational chart, it's part of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. Another part of it is found in the Minnesota Department of Human Sacrifices Services. Still another part of that office is found where MNLARS used to be.

Seriously, Democrats in the executive branch are idiots. Wherever you find the DFL in the legislative branch, you find slush funds for their special interest allies. Isn't that a surprise?

This won't play well in the suburbs. Suburbanites prefer stability and predictability. Thanks to the DFL, suburbanites don't have either of those things. They don't have sensible leadership, either.

Democrats & anarchists plan on abolishing police departments

There's little argument that Democrats and anarchists want to abolish cities' police departments. If anyone wants to figure out what a police-free society looks like, they needn't look farther than Seattle. This is the future that Minneapolis shop owners can look forward to:


Let these words sink in: "Antifa is now extorting local business owners in the Seattle autonomous zone." Let these words sink in, too: "Clearly the governor and the city's mayor plan to let this insurrection continue." That means that Gov. Inslee either agrees with the anarchists or he's too spineless to confront the anarchists.

Like Minneapolis, Seattle is a hotbed for anarchists, Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other far-far left extremists that even too far left for Bernie Sanders. When you're too insane for Bernie, that's out there . At the start of this week, Pelosi et al insisted that they weren't interested in abolishing and defunding police departments. Check out how Pelosi tries dodging that question:
[Video no longer available]
She looks as nervous as the proverbial long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. It isn't difficult to figure out why she's nervous. This issue might kill her majority. It's difficult to say 'we won't abolish police departments when Seattle and Minneapolis are voting to abolish their police departments and NYC and LA are cutting funding to their police departments.

Like the Bible says, a house divided against itself cannot stand. I don't know how Democrats could be more divided than they currently are. The possible exception might be 1968, when Democrats tore themselves apart:
[Video no longer available]
Now that's a house divided. That November, that house fell.

Gov. Inslee is a wimp who hasn't protected his people. Why should Seattle residents put up with these anarchists and terrorists? Bonus question: can you picture a Biden administration standing up to those terrorists? I can't. That's like picturing woke Democrats embracing sports teams like the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians and the Washington Redskins. That's like a Wisconsin politician surviving after saying he hates the Green Bay Packers as much as he hates cheese.

The fact is that DC Democrats have a huge fight on their hands. The establishment keeps saying no while Seattle and Minneapolis keep saying 'burn it down.' These aren't issues that the DC Establishment Democrats want to fight over. They'd rather just sweep the issue under the rug. In a pure power play, AOC is telling Pelosi that AOC is the spiritual leader of the Democratic Party.

Tim Walz, DFL portrait of passivity

Until President Obama came along, Jimmy Carter was the wimpiest president in this nation's history. We're seeing a similar inflection point in Minnesota, where Gov. Tim Walz is the weakest of the weak-kneed Democrats other than Jacob Frey. I wouldn't hesitate in nicknaming them 'the Wimp Twins' because they're that wimpy.

After the Christopher Columbus statue was turn down, Gov. Walz issued a statement , saying "As a former social studies teacher, I taught my students that many Minnesotans look at that statue and see a legacy of genocide. Now more than ever, we must take a hard look at the dated symbols and injustices around us. The Minnesota Historical Society and the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board have a formal process to remove statues from the Capitol grounds, and it's important that process is followed in order to ensure the safety of bystanders and the preservation of surrounding property. While that process was too long for those who were pained by the statue's presence, that is not an excuse for them to take matters into their own hands and remove it in that fashion. Even in pain, we must work together to make change, lawfully. I encourage Minnesotans to have productive, peaceful conversations about the changes that need to be made to create a more inclusive state."

In other words, Gov. Walz admitted that what the activists did was wrong. In the next sentence, though, Gov. Walz, aka the DFL statue to passivity, he essentially admits that he didn't act to prevent the wrongdoing. He's the governor. He isn't a bystander to history. He's the guy that's supposed to make decisions. He's the guy that's supposed to exhibit leadership. He's the guy that's supposed to do what's right for the entire state. Peggy Flanagan, Gov. Walz's lieutenant governor, didn't hide the fact that she sees herself as an activist:

"The arrival of Christopher Columbus to what is now the Americas set in motion centuries of violence and genocide against the indigenous people who already lived here. As the highest-ranking Native woman elected to executive office in the country, I have often reflected on the fact that I could see a statue honoring that legacy from my office window. It was a constant reminder that our systems were not built by or for Native people or people of color, but in many cases, to exclude, erase, and eliminate us. Tonight, I'm thinking of all the Native children who might now feel more welcome on the grounds and in the halls of their state government."

She doesn't represent just Native Americans. She represents all Minnesotans. Further, leaders are supposed to guide us into the future, not dwell on the past. This is telling:


Kurt Daudt isn't taking this lightly:


Gov. Walz and the DFL are activists. The DFL aren't leaders who represent everyone. The DFL represents the special interests. It's time for the people in Hennepin and Ramsey counties to stop being Democrats first and Minnesotans second. They need to start being Minnesotans first. If they don't put that first, problems won't get fixed. It's that simple.

Unsurprising unofficial polling

It's impossible to say that the unofficial results of this unofficial poll are surprising. They aren't slightly surprising. In fact, they're utterly predictable. According to the unofficial polling, "Small business owners in Minneapolis who lost everything in the riots don't want to lose their police department, too. But nobody thinks it should be business as usual, either. That view is shared by large and small companies, according to an informal survey conducted by the Star Tribune, which asked dozens of business owners if they support the recent pledge by a City Council majority to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department in response to public furor over the death of George Floyd."

The other way to ask that question would be to ask whether these entrepreneurs would open businesses that 'featured' police-free zones. It isn't surprising that the entrepreneurs replied this way:

"What I feel in my heart, and what millions of people feel, is that there is a young girl without a dad who should still be on the planet," said restaurant owner Charles Stotts, whose Town Talk Diner & Gastropub was destroyed in the riots. "There needs to be a fix to this, whatever that fix is."

Jonathan Weinhagen, president & CEO of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber, said the group's members believe the city must reach out to "communities of color" and deliver "significant reform" to the department. After years of complaints, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights recently launched an investigation of the police department to determine if its officers have engaged in discriminatory practices toward people of color.

"We stand with Chief [Medaria] Arradondo and his efforts to hold officers accountable and dramatically overhaul policing in Minneapolis," Weinhagen said in a statement. "Businesses are concerned about calls for abolishing or eliminating the police department. We believe it is important to maintain and improve public safety. And the necessary changes for the MPD will take consensus from the community and continual work from leaders across Minneapolis."

This isn't surprising because people want to feel protected. That's people's default position. That's why the Minneapolis City Council's announcement this weekend that at least 9 of the 13 city council members will support abolishing the MPD. This isn't good news for the Council:

" I was already kind of fed up with a lot of the lunatic ideas that have come out of the City Council, even before this ," said Don Blyly, who is facing $2 million in losses from the destruction of Uncle Hugo's and Uncle Edgar's bookstores on Chicago Avenue. "The police department needs to be fixed. But if they do the kind of things they are talking about now, then I will not rebuild in the city of Minneapolis."

Investing in insanity is foolish. Rebuilding in a city that's a police-free zone is downright stupid. Mr. Blyly doesn't strike me as being a stupid man because stupid people aren't often worth $2,000,000. This pain isn't going away:

Like other business owners, Aloul was frustrated when he turned to the police for help during the riots. After looters broke into his store on Lake Street, he said he spotted several officers and asked for help. "They said we have instructions from the mayor not to interfere ," said Aloul, who lost an estimated $800,000 in tobacco products to looters. "I understand they were overwhelmed, but I think if they had fired off a couple of shots they could have scared people off."

According to the Minnesota Secretary of State's office website, the text of the oath of office for Minnesota mayors states "I, _____________________________________________________________ do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, and that I will discharge faithfully the duties of the office of ______________________________ in the County of __________________________, the State of Minnesota, to the best of my judgment and ability."

The first responsibility of a mayor is to protect his constituents. Instructing officers "not to interfere" with rioters, looters, many of whom were Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists, is proof that Mayor Frey didn't faithfully discharge the duties of his office to the best of his judgment or ability. When police officers stand by while rioters throw Molotov cocktails, that isn't discharging the duties of the mayor to the best of someone's ability:

Exposing education happy talk

What are We Learning in a Pandemic?
By Ramblin' Rose

Public school teachers are patting themselves on the back, at least on social media, for having met the challenge to deliver distance learning to some 56 million students. On April 15, 2020 in an opinion piece in the St. Cloud Times, Aaron Sinclair, the superintendent of the Sauk Rapids-Rice school district, lauded the efforts of all to quickly transition from the classroom to virtual learning. He acknowledged a few difficulties and then proceeded to thank all who made the rapid change and continued the learning. That was 'happy talk.' That does not match the reality of the fiasco.

Admittedly, within a couple of weeks, teachers did have materials available online for students. But how many 20-minute videos can elementary students view every day? How many worksheets can be completed after each video? Children cannot just sit all day. They need to move. They have been forced to become passive receptors of the talking heads on screens. What if they have questions? Parents may have the answers but many won't. Very few will have the content information that the teachers do.

One assumes that middle school and high school students are also assigned similar scenarios. Even good students become mesmerized and bored on a chair in front of a screen EVERY day.

Does the pre-recorded, hollow statement 'Good job, class' really motivate learners to stay on task and try to do even more?

What about the parents? Were they prepared to supervise their children's lessons? Did they want the job? How can they handle the job if they are also working from home? Parents who try to help only one child reportedly cry at the end of the day - and some during the day - out of frustration with trying to understand the required work so that they might help their child. Now imagine a parent with more than one learner at home. And how many families have opted out completely?

Parents have been forced into homeschooling and must teach lessons that have been imposed on them and their children. The results for the children and families do not reflect those listed by Mr. Sinclair.

  1. How many schools have changed many of the classes to 'optional?'

  2. How many districts have already suspended the rest of the academic year - even distance learning?

  3. How many learners have abandoned their work - even the gifted ones?

  4. If the talented learners have given up, how long ago did the challenged learners quit trying?


Could not the districts empower the families to embrace learning and provide some more practical activities? Could not some of the assignments be 'optional' or 'supplementary' resources from which the students and parents could choose when they want some guidance from the professionals?

Why not have younger children read to their parents and parents to their children? Reading is fun and instructional. The books are chosen by children based on interest. If they have questions, the parents likely are prepared to answer them. And it's snuggle time. During this pandemic, the bonding with family and the security found in the togetherness are essential.

Why not teach math following recipes in the kitchen or a carpentry project in the garage? Both options involve measuring, fractions, addition, subtraction, etc. in a real-world context. Again, parents and children are working together in a mutually selected activity. It's fun; it's less stressful than assignments that, at times, challenge even the most devoted parents. What happens when the child and parent do not agree with the answer given by the teacher? (I saw that happen. The child shrugs her shoulders; the parent shakes her head.) What was the lesson learned? Who owns the confusion?

Those younger learners could still have Zoom time - see their classmates and friends, sharing stories of the fun things they learned in the last week. Teachers could guide the conversations and relate their learning to more academic themes, if appropriate. During the week, the teacher could chat with each student alone, even quizzing them on math problems or spelling words, as well as being there to support and encourage them with real words of praise, as appropriate. The child could read to the teacher to validate continuing academic progress. The teacher would still be a person and not just a bobbing head on a screen.

For older students, could they not become Socrates, pose a question of personal interest related to the course, research it and do a virtual conference with the teacher and explain what they learned and submit a short summary about the project - the reason for it, the process followed to complete it, and share the final answer to the Socratic question? It would still involve screen time, but the control would be with the learner. Undoubtedly, more learning would occur on a self-directed project than on another video lesson followed by more worksheets. The teacher would be a mentor throughout the project and would provide academic feedback upon completion of the assignment.

During the first week of distance learning, there was an abundance of jokes about distraught parents locking their kids outside for a fire drill or in the basement for a tornado drill while they sang the praises of the public school teachers. Those jokes are almost non-existent currently; they are not humorous. They accurately reveal the frustrations that many families are experiencing with 'homeschooling.'

Some public educators also expressed concern about 'homeschooling' but for very different reasons. Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Bartholet and other educators expressed their fear about having parents in charge of teaching their own children. In their words, it is "important that children grow up exposed to community values, social values, democratic values, ideas about nondiscrimination and tolerance of other people's viewpoints." Bartholet called parents too authoritarian. She also challenged their preparedness to teach their own children.

Parents want what is best for their children: and hopefully, the majority of public school teachers do too. Due to the pandemic, parents have restructured their professional lives in order to teach their children as mandated by state governments. And, sadly, there is an entire cult, like Bartholet, that believes that government should have control 'from the womb to the tomb.'

What will PreK-12 education look like next fall? Will schools reopen? Will distance learning continue? Will more parents opt to homeschool with a curriculum that they select and truly become their children's teacher? Will they happily return their children to classroom teachers? Do public schools fear a loss of students to homeschoolers?

And another question, right before the start of the pandemic, did not the experts plead with parents to reduce the amount of time that young children, especially, spend with devices? With the advent of whole scale distance learning, those experts are mute.

On to higher education:

On April 18th, the results of a Axios and College Reactions poll reported ' 77 percent of college students say that 'distance learning is worse or much worse than in-person classes,' while 13 percent say 'they would take time off from college if distance learning continues next year.'

That contradicts the push of many university administrators for classes and even entire programs to be delivered electronically. Many faculty and students have objected to those initiatives but gone unheard. Let's hope that this poll has reached the administrators.

While the pandemic has forced the closure of schools and campuses, institutions of higher learning had already suffered great declines in enrollment numbers. How much could be related to the delivery programs, as well as the debt levels that have resulted from degrees that did not and do not lead to gainful employment?

While there is nothing wrong with 'self-fulfillment/self-realization,' should not an education allow one to earn a living? For example, one student asked taxpayers to pay off her college debt--$226,000 for a degree in Greek mythology. Did she really expect to earn a living with that particular degree? For many, that interest falls more into the category of a hobby than a career.

Well, maybe that student is not alone in considering a special interest legitimate. Castleton University in Vermont, with electronically mediated instruction as the norm, is offering credit for learning to play a computer game--Dungeons and Dragons. The justification for the course is the need for people to build community. Seriously? College credit?

The Strada Education Network poll has found that 28 million students plan to abandon their postsecondary education due to the Wuhan virus. The majority of those who indicated an intention to pursue training within the next six months will not be pursuing a degree program.

The American Council on Education projects a 15% decline in postsecondary enrollment in the fall and a $45 billion decline in revenue. Numerous administrators find those projections too rosy.

Precipitous declines are also on the horizon for the Minnesota State universities this fall. For those institutions, here's their anticipated enrollment declines by university for this fall:

  1. Bemidji - 949 FYE

  2. Mankato - 2,870 FYE

  3. Metro - 747 FYE

  4. Moorhead - 1,335 FYE

  5. Southwest- 628 FYE

  6. SCSU - 1,496 FYE

  7. Winona - 2,350 FYE


FYE is the concept of a full-year equivalent, not the number of bodies on campus rolls. This concept is used in budgeting and reflects only courses that award credits or satisfy requirements in an academic or vocational program. The FYE is determined by dividing the total student credit hours by the credit hours of a full load (30 credit hours for undergraduate and professional courses and 20 for graduate courses).

As a point of comparison, ten years ago, SCSU touted 15,096 FYE. That's a precipitous decline. But the decline has been occurring throughout the decade. The academic year just concluded had already fallen to 9016 FYE. The projected numbers for Fall 2020 are horrific.

Who will be enrolling in the fall? Will students return if there are only online classes? Will parents opt for cheaper public institutions rather than the costly private ones? Will the lack of athletic programs discourage certain students to attend? Since students were not able to take the ACT and SAT entrance exams and schools have waived those scores, will the entering students be academically prepared for the expected rigors of higher education?

The pandemic has caused many types of losses. Will the American educational system be another victim? Or, could an enhanced model that focuses on the students be on the horizon?

Tim Walz's doubletalk dilemma

DFL Gov. Tim Walz's doubletalk dilemma keeps getting exposed daily. Gov. Walz, who portrays himself as a moderate Democrat, did nothing while Native American vandals demolish the statue of Christopher Columbus. Instead, "he doesn't condone protesters who tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus at the Minnesota Capitol, but that he understands why they did it." Additionally, Walz said "I won't condone the behavior. There will be consequences for it."

Walz definitely condoned the behavior. This tweet highlights the fact that Gov. Walz knew about the protest well in advance but did nothing:


Had Walz instructed the state troopers to do whatever was necessary to protect the statues, this wouldn't have happened. He didn't do that. He did the opposite. The troopers didn't intervene. They let AIM destroy the statue.

Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said a State Patrol captain and a state tribal liaison approached protesters on Wednesday to urge them to follow the official process of petitioning the state to remove a statue. Harrington said protesters felled the statue while that conversation was ongoing, and before a larger group of Patrol officers stationed nearby could reach the scene.

Why were they late in getting to the scene? Why didn't they deal with the thugs first? Take a look at this video:
[Video no longer available]
There's literally a rope around the statue's neck. Are we supposed to think that the rope was put there after the state trooper and the liaison approached the AIM protesters? That's difficult to believe. Why wouldn't they address that problem first?

Seattle anarchists establish crime zone, start fleecing businesses

Despite the Democrats' best efforts to deny reports that Seattle has quickly turned into a violence-riddled city, that's what's happening in Seattle. It's clear because I'm quoting a statement issued by Mayor Jenny Durkan.

Stephanie Formas, Mayor Durkan's chief of staff, read from the statement, saying "After events Sunday night, it was clear that the situation needed to be significantly defused and de-escalated. The cycle of conflict between demonstrators and officers was harmful to residents, demonstrators, businesses, officers, our city, and the opportunity to make real progress with the community. On Monday, Mayor Durkan concluded the situation could only be deescalated between officers and demonstrators by removing the barriers. After long consultations with Chief Best and SPD, on how to do so in a safe manner, the Mayor directed free access to Pine Street for peaceful demonstrations Monday evening."

The definition of de-escalate is "to decrease in intensity, magnitude, etc." If everything is calm in Seattle, then there isn't a need for de-escalation. This is proof that Durkan is applying partisan spin to a difficult, if not dangerous, public safety situation.

Durkan and Gov. Inslee, both exceptionally progressive Democrats, have let the anarchists ruin one of the most beautiful cities in the Western Hemisphere. There's a reason why Seattle's nickname is the Emerald City. It isn't surprising that the progressives essentially surrendered Seattle to the mob rule of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. This is Chief Best's statement to the Seattle Police Department, aka SPD:
[Video no longer available]
In her statement, Chief Best stated "We have heard reports that there are armed people 'patrolling' the streets near 12th and Pine. Of course, this is very concerning, especially because we don't know who these people are. We've also received reports that these armed people may be demanding payment from business owners in exchange for some of that protection."

Durkan's statement talked about "peaceful demonstrations." Armed men demanding payments from businesses are activities associated with peaceful demonstrations. They're activities associated with the Mafia.

After these thugs are thrown out of their territory, let's hope that they're indicted for RICO charges and other serious federal crimes. These marauders have dramatically restricted Americans' civil rights. When our God-given rights are restricted, then it's time for American patriots of all political parties to end this assault on society.

Without God-given civil rights, the US is just another place on the map. That's because God-given civil rights are what make the US exceptional. Fighting for American exceptionalism is always worth it.
