This is really laughable. For those who are unaware, Al Franken is running against Senator Norm Coleman in the MN Senate race. The MN Democrat Farm Labor Party has endorsed Franken disregarding his violent and virulent comments about women.

ALEC BALDWIN: AL FRANKEN’S CHARACTER WITNESS
Actor who called daughter “rotten […]

Katherine Kersten, columnist for the Star Tribune, wrote about an investigation she had initiated on the Tarek ibn Zivad Academy (Tiza) back in March and April. See More on the Islamic Charter School in Minnesota (yes, it’s taxpayer funded).
Tiza is back in the news again. Apparently the taxpayer funded Islamic charter school isn’t […]

Earlier in March Katherine Kersten wrote about the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) which is a taxpayer funded charter school. Katherine Kersten now has first hand knowledge of the religious nature of the school which goes beyond after school time. It’s mandated religious attendance by all the students for assemblies.
Scott at […]

Now that the Forest Lake High School (in Minnesota) has received a lot of negative attention the school administrators have changed their story on why they canceled the appearance by the Vets for Freedom Heroes Tour. Now, they’re saying it’s because of a concern for security for the students! Previously, they said it […]

This is so pathetic and just downright unAmerican and yes, unpatriotic. The Vets for Freedom Heroes tour arranged for these highly decorated war heroes to stop at north suburban high school in the Twin Cities and the spineless administrative idiots caved to the few whiny anti-war parents. This is a sad statement that […]

From the Land of 10,000 Loons (Minnesota)
Minnesota’s moose are dying; global warming may be to blame
Moose are as much a symbol of Minnesota as wolves, lakes and loons. But wildlife biologists say the state’s moose population is in trouble. Moose numbers have plummeted in northwestern Minnesota to near extinction. The animals are also dying prematurely […]

Katherine Kersten tells us about more Dhimmitude in Minnesota - at taxpayers expense.
Are taxpayers footing bill for Islamic school in Minnesota?
Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) — named for the Muslim general who conquered medieval Spain — is a K-8 charter school in Inver Grove Heights. Its approximately 300 students are mostly the children of low-income […]

I love this story. Just another example of how our Marines step up no matter where they are!
Thanks to RCT-1 for the story:
Editor’s note: The post below is a letter written by a witness during the heroic acts of the Navy corpsmen with 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, at an airport during […]

Katherine Kersten writes about the Golden Gopher Army ROTC at the University of Minnesota. From purpose to fitness to leadership…..the program continues to attract students and in fact has grown in the past couple years. How could that be - we’re at war and according to lefty wingnuts an illegal war. It […]

This Week’s Hero Was Suggested By Louie
Bill Juneau36 years old from Rush City, MinnesotaNovember 27, 2007
If there was one thing Bill Juneau loved as much as his country, it was his dog, Jake.
The accident-prone black Lab, who has been hit by two cars, had a toe amputated on his right paw and survived eating 42 […]

You tell me what the hell is wrong with an ad thanking our troops at Christmas time for the job they’ve done serving this country? SCREW THEM! This was a PAID ad that was refused/denied by NBC! WHY? WHY?
I’m telling you I am P.O’d. This is sick and demented. […]

This time I’m heading to MinneSOTA. My godson/nephew has his Eagle Scout ceremony on Sunday. I’m so darn proud of this kid. Days before his 10th Birthday he was in a 4 wheeler accident, he came out of it with assorted internal injuries plus a traumatic brain injury. The following 6 […]

There is not only a problem with the recently passed SCHIP bill which President Bush vetoed but there is a problem with the EXISTING SCHIP program. What a shocker huh? Turns out there’s an awful lot of adults on the program “for the children”!

Rep. Colin Peterson doesn’t want your meat inspected!
Bill would reduce meat inspections - Despite E. coli scare, Congress mulls easing law
As one of the largest meat recalls in history unfolds, Congress is considering legislation that would reduce required federal inspections for meat that is produced by small companies and then shipped to another state.
Because of […]

In driving from western Minnesota to the Twin Cities on Sunday I took these 2 photos.  It was gray and rainy out - if you haven’t heard they’ve had a bit of rain in Minnesota in the last few days.  Not only MN but Wisconsin and Illinois.  My drive on Monday from St. Paul to […]

Seriously, it’s cold here.  The last few nights the temp has been in the 50’s and today the high here is 60 with rain.  Of course, I brought no warm clothing cause I figured it was SUMMER!  Monday I am going to have to drive from the refrigerator into the sauna.  Last I heard was […]

I’m in the land of 10,000 lakes.  I drove from Tennessee to western Minnesota today.  It was so much fun, that traffic crawl around Rockford, IL was a true joy for 45 minutes.  Hit the Twin Cities at rush hour but breezed through on the beltway (I694) and thought wow, this is amazing.  Then I […]

After I got past the initial news of the 35W bridge in Minneapolis my thoughts were this is what happens when you have a state that spends it’s highway funds on anything but roads and bridges.  Minnesota has a billion dollar light rail which runs at a deficit every year.  And like Congress they love […]

Norm is up for re-election in 2008 with Al Frankenstein (snicker) running against him as the antiwar/socialist Dhimmicrat candidate.  I don’t know how Norm will do in this election since he tends to run a civilized respectful campaign which is diametrically opposed to the Frankenstein.
To counter the negative attacks on Norm’s support for the troops […]

Stone Cold’s replacements have arrived.  This means that the MN ANG Desert Bulls will be home sooooonnnnn!  Good grief but who should be one of the replacements……looksee it’s Goldy Gopher.  I’m surprised that left wing institution (Univ. of MN) of lower learning would even allow one of their mascots to join the National Guard. Gotta […]

Due to the Milblog Conference and changing over to a new laptop I’ve been remiss in mentioning reports from Stone Cold at the Ice Blog.
He’s got a great post up on thwarting a rocket attack and finding a weapons cache plus they went out on patrol and visited an Iraqi school.
Good Stuff!

Well, well.  I’m amazed because it looks like there’s one commission in Minnesota with a spine.  The Metropolitan Airport Commission told Muslim cabbies (about 75% are Somali) they must take all customers, no exceptions.  And how does the Strib label this?  They call it “cracking down” or “pushing back”. 
Mpls. Star Tribune:
Cabbies ordered to pick […]
