What has Finstad done to rein in Trump?

Representative Brad Finstad says his constituents complain a lot about fraud and wasteful government spending. Amen, brother! (President Trump) has used his presidency to enrich himself by at least $2 billion. He started a $65 billion war with Iran, costing the average household more than $1,000. His tariffs have cost households another $1,000. $10 trillion has been added to our national debt during his six years in office. Taxpayers will be expected to pony up for his $16 million reflecting pool boondoggle and his costly ballroom fiasco. Meanwhile, health care, food, housing, energy, ...

The spending spree must stop

nment, controlled by the allegedly fiscally responsible Republicans, going to quit sitting impotently on the sidelines while the resident in what’s-left-of-the-White House spends obscene amounts of money to satisfy his Midas-like lust for all things to be gold? It’s worth noting that in the president’s oath in taking the reins a second time, he did choose to say, “I do solemnly ‘swear...’” rather than using the verb “affirm,” and he concluded the oath by saying, “So help me God,” an addendum that, I’m sure, was artfully uttered to ingratiate himself further with ...

Starve out the problem in Iran

I have been thinking about the situation in Iran and what we should be doing. The goals are to keep them from getting nuclear weapons now, and to dismantle and destroy their program of supporting Terrorism in countries all over the world that has been going on for at least 40 years. I don’t think that destroying that country’s infrastructure of bridges, water facilities, communications, industries, etc. will be effective in getting Iran to give up their nuclear weapons operation. They have demonstrated in the past that they intend to continue to develop nuclear weapons by going ...

Check the box for Kendall Qualls

I have many people asking me who I support in the upcoming governor primary election. I can say with certainty that any Republican candidate will be better than the Democrat alternative. I will support Kendall Qualls in the primary. I first met Kendall and his wife about five years ago when my wife and I were involved in the COVID pandemic response from local schools and government mandates. At that time, our state was under the Trifecta Democrat rule in Minnesota. The Woke movement was in full force and effect. Kendall and his wife came and spoke to a “We The People” meeting ...

Solve problems instead of fighting

When I was a young man, the company I worked for sent me to a seminar for people becoming job foreman. It included all trades (plumbers, carpenters, electricians, and others). The speaker instructed us on the duties of a foreman: keeping projects on schedule, working with other trades, evaluating fellow workers, identifying their strengths ...you get the picture. The best way to evaluate a person was to consider the work they did incorrectly or had to redo. That was called an “Oh-poop.” He used a different four-letter word, but it cannot be printed here. Work done correctly and ...

Right the ship in Minnesota

To the Editor: So the legislative session has ended in Minnesota. It’s not surprising no one was held to account for the $9 billion (and counting) in fraudulent activities while Democrats were in control. Yes, some of the little people got their fingers slapped. The bigger fish have yet to be fried. Walz, Ellison, Frey, Klobuchar, Omar, Craig, (and countless others), all knew and were involved to some extent. The fraud no doubt continues in ways we have yet to discover. With Democrats controlling the governor, Senate, and a tie in the House, no meaningful pain was, or will be felt ...
