A party run by a president who doesn’t give a damn

The most important piece of making a democracy work (besides actually heeding the voice of the people) is that people vote. This election is different than most, however. While historically we could all vote for candidates holding policies reflecting our conservative or our progressive viewpoint and expect responsible government from either, currently the GOP party is in the grasp of a cruel, greedy, immoral, self-centered and vindictive man, mired in corruption. He cares nothing for average folks like you and us, recklessly starting wars without regard to cost or human life, imposing ...

Finstad best choice for Congress

Jake Johnson is running to unseat Brad Finstad. I Googled Mr Johnson and read his website; hardly any political experience and apparently no business experience. Brad served in the Minnesota Legislature, was the Minnesota director of the USDA Rural Development and served several years as our U.S. representative. He has been successful in the business world, both in farming and in a commercial business. Jake is a 20-year teacher (you can Google Minnesota salary for a 20 year teacher) who apparently can’t afford to fix an old van. Who do we want to manage our tax dollars ? John ...

Choose wisely on Election Day

The coming Nov. 3 election is a watershed moment for the State of Minnesota. ALL of the major Democrat candidates either knew of, participated in, or benefited from the Somali Fraud in recent years. Walz, as leader of the Democrat Party (although no longer a candidate), Klobuchar, Flannigan, Ellison, and most certainly Omar (Elmi) should not be elected to the offices they pursue. All of them should instead be facing criminal charges. None of them will be charged if Ellison is re-elected Attorney General. I highly suspect Omar (Elmi) will be charged and convicted of immigration crimes ...

Country founded on equality

We cannot have two laws in our country that oppose each other. Sharia law is not compatible with the Ten Commandments or ever will be. There are no second class citizens mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Our country was founded on equality, not equity. Equality refers to opportunity and equity refers to shrewd management. One is freedom and one is forcing out-comes. We will always have the poor with us. Help them, if you see them, and don’t expect more government to do the job. Every single person in the world is much more efficient then any government program ever will be. The ...

Boettger offers more experience in District 15 race

Among the things we consider when choosing who to vote for is experience of the candidates. The gap between the experience levels of our two choices for Senate District 15 might be the largest in history. I’m sure Braxton Seifert is a nice young man. He is 21 years old and has done some stuff. I have nothing against 21-year-old guys. I was one once. Andrea Boettger has an amazing resume with vast array of experiences. There is not room to list all her credentials. Here is the Cliff’s Notes version: Andrea has worked in hospitality, banking and finance. Currently she manages a ...

A leader with professional experience

We are writing to voters in Senate District 15 concerning the two candidates for office, Braxton Seifert and Andrea Boettger. The most obvious difference between the two is their life’s journey thus far. Life experiences shape goals, attitudes, philosophies, level of compassion, wisdom, and personal growth. These two candidates are worlds apart in their life’s journey. Braxton Seifert is 21 years old and his web page lists several boards that he serves on and lists his volunteer efforts. He is to be commended for starting his journey working to help others. However, in this brief ...
