Our stalwart few in St. Paul

"St. Paul is a mess. It is a microcosm of Washington DC. The blue team hates the red team, as the red team keeps trying to get the people's work done. The next time you see one of the red team, be it state or national, shake their hand and tell them to stay strong and you appreciate them. They are our last line of defense before the enemy is no longer at the gate but again gumming up the levers of power."

I will never forget the steamrolling the citizens of this state took in the 2023 legislative session. It was nothing short of brutal. Every goofy and expensive bill was passed by the trifecta DFL majority, and then Taxing Timmy signed them into law. Sure, we had some normal, God loving citizens on our side of the aisle, buy they were outnumbered on every vote. A couple of them went to our church. Towards the end of the session, they had the "1,000-yard stare" like some combat vets had. They tried so hard to hold back the trifecta landslide, but to no avail. 

This year we have an even split in the House and the Senate. Translation = nothing will get done. Walz is still the governor, but he is a lame duck. The Democrats are going to push for legislation which will hamper ICE operations, and Republicans are going to push for legislation which will go after fraudsters. Why won't the DFL help with the fraud bill? Because many of their constituents were involved in it.

Thank God we have brave souls to venture down to St. Paul on these cold mornings and work with the DFL, many of whom have cold hearts. How can I say that? Just look at the abortion of an abortion bill which THEY passed in 2023. It is inches away from infanticide. The Republicans want to protect our valuable tax dollars. To aggressively go after fraud, waste and abuse. The DFL on the other hand, think it is all their money, to spend foolishly and waste constantly.

I know some of the Republicans who are now serving. They are good, solid folks. Believe in the right stuff. They believe in God (which is getting more and more rare in DFL and DNC politics). They also believe in the Second Amendment. And why is that important? Remember the street protests in Iran? When civilians had been mowed down in the street? No Second Amendment in Iran. Too bad, as if there were, we might be dealing with a much different (and friendlier government).

St. Paul is a mess. It is a microcosm of Washington DC. The blue team hates the red team, as the red team keeps trying to get the people's work done. The next time you see one of the red team, be it state or national, shake their hand and tell them to stay strong and you appreciate them. They are our last line of defense before the enemy is no longer at the gate but again gumming up the levers of power.
