DHS goons

Dump the Department of “Homeland Security”

September 1, 2020

I’m adding my $0.02 to a call that has become prevalent among progressives, lately. Actually, such calls have been around since this monster was created, and rightly so.

Trump has screwed farmers in Minnesota, and elsewhere, big time

August 24, 2020

Why no bonding bill?

August 3, 2020

From when this year’s bonding bill mess was going on: A deal is not in the interests of Republican House Minority Leader Kurt Daudt, who is hoping to win back the speaker’s gavel. His caucus’s position is that there’s no bonding deal unless Gov. Tim Walz gives up his emergency powers. This works for Daudt […]
