I'm from MN (sorry about the whole Tim Walz thing- now you see what we got here). I post about politics, news, current goings-on & whatever I find noteworthy.
Oh. My. Lord.
Tim Walz UNILATERALLY made it ILLEGAL to go to Thanksgiving with your relatives in Minnesota!
My county Sheriff (and others) had to release a public statement that he would NOT enforce those restrictions. People were that mad.
Go away.
Remember the time when you could go to Thanksgiving with your relatives and not complain about politics the whole time?
This election is a chance to bring up the joy and look to the future.
A few other things you probably don’t know: illegals in America can get bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver’s licenses, free healthcare (California & New York) and in-state college tuition.
What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits, but doesn’t
He was at Tiananmen.
He retired a Command. Sergeant Major.

He carried an M-16 in battle.

Tim walz removed the statutory requirement of a Dr to "preserve" the life of a baby that survives abortion.
Now if a baby survives an abortion the Dr simply must "care for the infant who is born alive".
The Dr can let that born alive infant simply die, if they care for it.
With the advent of GPS, the US Navy stopped teaching manual Celestial Navigation for a while - until they realized what a HUGE risk it was to rely on automation and computer systems alone.
There are lessons to be learned...
The MN Dept of Education just posted, then immediately deleted the post about advancing student literacy.
Maybe someone nudged the intern and whispered "Yeah, don't highlight that for us, please."?
We just signed the Conversion Therapy Ban, Reproductive Freedom Defense Act, and Trans Refuge Bill into law.
In Minnesota, we're building a state where everyone is safe to be who they are, love who they love, and live without fear of violence and discrimination.
Thanks to funds from both the state and federal government, metro residents will soon be able to hop a train for relatively cheap en route to the North Shore.
Since I've been in office, I've signed more executive actions to reduce gun violence than any of my predecessors.
Earlier this year, I signed an executive order to ramp up our efforts to hold the gun industry accountable, keep firearms out of dangerous hands, and more.
We were profoundly surprised, even shocked on discovering the remarks made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D) of Minnesota in a recent public forum, widely circulated on most social media platforms and attached below for your reference.
The language she employed was regrettably

Wow, I had no idea that Weissmann was one of the corrupt prosecutors who rigged the 2008 AK election by wrongfully convicting Ted Stevens.

You’re right. He should be in jail.
Walz locked us all down in 2020. He forced Grandmas into nursing homes where they died alone. His state health dep't monitored my children's medical records, without consent, & sent me memos about them.
Spare me the high and mighty harumphing. He didn't care then nor now.

Monitoring medical records, restricting the travel of pregnant women, criminalizing people for seeking health care…
This is scary and wrong.
Vote to stop them. Vote for freedom.
Hahaha!
1) 6 weeks after becoming the candidate.
2) CNN. About as friendly as it gets for Harris.
3) JOINT interview so Walz can cover for Harris when she is clueless, rambles, or nervously laughs too much.
4) Pre-recorded, not live, so it can be edited before broadcast.

Funny. His reply was to Weingarten. You attack him for not having kids but being involved in education policy.

By this standard, Weingarten should be dismissed.
Maybe re-think.

It's in paragraph 11 of this story. This is the only story in Minnesota media to mention tomorrow's vote.

Unions represent member interest not student interest.
But isn’t this the job of any union? To represent what they believe is the interest of their members? To influence policy? How many other unions and corporate lobbyists also lobbied CDC on these guidelines? Probably not just teachers.

This is accurate.
"In summary, Fauci admitted he pushed COVID-19 protocols that lacked scientific rigor, advocated coercive vaccine policies to disrupt people’s lives that likely fueled vaccine hesitancy, and unjustly smeared millions of people as conspiracy theorists..."
I know we're all supposed to ignore Dr. Anthony Fauci's recent admissions. (And those from his old boss Francis Collins.)
But I simply can't.
It's imperative that we learn from these mistakes—and by "we" I especially mean politicians and bureaucrats.
