Brains vs. Bluster in November

"Maybe a couple guys with some intellect could come in and make things better in this state. We tried bluster, and that did not work well. Let's not make the same mistake again, this coming November." 

Did you know our carpetbagger from Nebraska is leading Dr. Scott Jensen in the latest polling? Why? I have no clue. Walz claims since he is a former high school teacher, he knows everything about education. Like, he advocates "fully funding" education in Minnesota. What in the world does that mean? I has been proven over and over again, that money and results in education are not necessarily related. In fact, in many of the failure factories called "schools" in the Twin Cities, the more money which goes in, the less improved results which come out.

Somehow, Tim Walz beat out the most qualified person ever to run for Minnesota Governor in 2018. If Jeff Johnson had won the election, this state would be quite a bit different right now. But he did not, so lets look at the Tim Walz record:

Graft - Under his administration, Feeding our Future fleeced the federal government for over $250M. What did that have to do with Tim Walz if it was a federal crime? Because the Walz Education Department was working with this organization. But how was Walz's government involved? To quote the CNN article, "The Department of Justice alleges that despite Feeding our Future's knowledge of their own fraudulent claims, they still submitted them to the Minnesota Department of Education, which administered and oversaw this federal program for the state." This is a fail for Tim Walz.

Crime - In 2022, Minneapolis has the most violent crimes (per 100,000) of any city in the state. St. Paul comes in second. Just about every crime statistic is up. By June 1st of this year, there had been 200 car jackings in Minneapolis. What does this have to do with Walz? As Governor, he and the mayors of the twin cities are RESPONSIBLE for the safety of its citizens. The crime issue in Minnesota is a FAIL for Walz. 

Education - Keeping us locked down during the pandemic led to some abysmal test scores by our students who are educated in government schools. Having an "educator" as Governor should have helped get better scores in reading and math. It did not. According to the publication Education Week, Minnesota gets only a C+ rating for K - 12 government schools. For the amount of money we pour into education, we should be getting a AAAA+++++ rating. (ps - Minnesota schools rank 22nd in the nation for safety). A fail for school teacher Walz.

George Floyd - This was Tim Walz's signature moment during his first term. In the anarchy which lasted for days after the Floyd incident, part of the Minneapolis burned down. Some of Minneapolis still shows the scars of that mayhem. Tim Walz and the boy wonder mayor of Minneapolis did NOTHING to stop this carnage, while a police precinct was attacked and burned, and over a thousand businesses were destroyed. The damage to Minnesota was enormous, but who cares? The taxpayers will cover it. This was Walz's biggest failure.

There is more, but I will stop here. Tim Walz is not a very sharp guy. He has proven that over and over again. In fact, he is a failure. He does have bluster however - lots and lots of bluster. Dr. Scott Jensen and Matt Birk are very smart. They both have the pedigree to prove it.

Maybe a couple guys with some intellect could come in and make things better in this state. We tried bluster, and that did not work well. Our last two Governors have been way less than smart. Let's not make the same mistake again, this coming November.
