It’s been a month of rioting, and the Marxists couldn’t be happier, at least until Tom Homan arrived on the scene. The word is out. There are sophisticated networks of anarchists, connected by Signal chats that are tracking ICE movements across the city. Will Walz and Frey avoid jail time by cooperating or will they continue to shoot themselves in the foot by blustering and whipping people into a frenzy? We know that Rep. Brad Tabke is involved in coordinating these agitators. Where are the arrests?
Michelle Tafoya threw her hat in the ring for US senator from MN to replace Tina Smith (thank goodness). She’s a big name and we’ll have to find out more about where she stands in the coming weeks.
We welcome our friend, John Augustine, of the Legislative Evaluation Assembly of Minnesota to the show. They have just completed their annial 2025 Legislative Review of both legislators and legislation passed. Nine MN Senators were honored for their high legislative scores.
The last session was off to a dubious start, when the Democrats refused to show up to work after one of their candidates cheated by not living in his district, holding the entire legislature hostage. They also skipped the swearing in ceremony and illegally had a secret ceremony to swear themselves in. Of course the Republicans allowed them to get away with it so that it is now precedent.
The Republicans walked away with a couple of wins. They were able to pass a bill that blocked illegal aliens from getting free health care through MinnesotaCare. They were also able to establish a fraud committee to look into the beginnings of the fraud discovery, before Nick Shirley made MN front and center in national news.
MN used to do a budget one year and bonding the next. In true MN form, they can never get enough of our money and have begun to do bonding bills every year, even when planning the budget.
There were a number of other bills that are varying degrees of not so great to horrible, including the worker’s comp bill that removed important safeguards against fraud. Not really what we need right now.
