by Dave Mindeman The DFL convention is coming up in about 10 days – so let’s see where we stand. In the race for Governor, we still have three candidates. Rep. Erin Murphy, State Auditor Rebecca Otto, and Cong. Tim Walz. General consensus says that Walz has a lead in delegates but it is not […]
by Dave Mindeman The NFL capitulated to Trump. Yes, they prostrated themselves in front of the orange one and followed the will of the President. And the First Amendment is the victim. NFL players are not disrespecting the flag. They aren’t stomping on it. They aren’t burning it. Although those acts would be justified under […]
So here’s why the headline is misleading. Whether or not Dayton signs the bill, the MNLARS system will be messier either way. The MN GOP has guaranteed more mess, because they want it that way. They think they have no responsibility (wrong) for the MNLARS problem and they continued hanging this around Dayton’s neck for the entire session

The evangelical mind is not really a Christian mind. No, it has become a pure political rationalization machine. Let’s take the case of Franklin Graham. Regarding Trump, his recent statements include this: Graham actually said Trump’s sex life is “nobody’s business.” His paying off a PORN star is “nobody’s business.” His affair just months after […]
The evidence mounts regarding Donald Trump. He will be subject to criminal counts. But will Trump go gently into that good night?
Yesterday, Kurt Daudt had this view on gun legislation: When asked specifically about expanding background checks, Daudt, R-Crown, responded that “behind-the-scenes” conversations between lawmakers are happening “to reduce putting guns in the hands of potentially dangerous criminals.
