Three, Well Actually Four, Days of the ConPaper

By May 5, 2025Commentary3 min read

You know the themes the Strib has been instructed to hit by the Dem party.  Nothing new there–tariffs, budget cuts, the plight of illegal immigrants.  Just the same old crap day after day, never fully exploring an issue in anything approaching an objective or balanced manner.

Let me note one very positive thing about President Trump–he is incredibly transparent and accessible; he constantly answers press questions and does interviews, an astounding contrast to his predecessor or frankly, most Presidents.  And what does most of the media do in return–lie about he says.  The Strib chimes in this morning by reprinting an NYT lie about his statements in regard to due process for aliens.  (Please note that the Strib has no real reporters of its own so it just reprints whatever is published by the NYT, Washington Post or AP.).   The Constitution is actually unclear on this matter.  I personally am extremely doubtful that the authors of the Bill of Rights intended for people not legally in this country to have the same rights to due process as those legally here.  But that isn’t even the way the Strib (again, actually the NYT, frames the issue); instead it sounds like he is talking about due process for you and me.

Our local Soros bought and paid for DA is illegally considering race in determining whether to charge or what to charge a criminal with; and the Strib is just shocked.  The state transportation department is caught up in the federal government’s campaign against “woke”.  Why should any transportation decision ever have anything to do with DIE?  The federal government is “slashing” funding for alphabet community research.  Why were we doing it in the first place.  The Strib might be embarrassed by its constant defense of funding that is an essential waste of taxpayer money when we have $2 trillion deficits.

Feds retreat from fight to preserve “wetlands”.  In other words, they are longer trying to claim that the puddles in your back yard are navigable waters of the US, so that they can control everything done anywhere. Tariffs are bad–I agree, yes they are, but the tariff policy isn’t as devastating as the Strib, sorry, NYT again, makes it sound and there may be some positive outcomes.  Science is in crisis due to lack of federal funding–why does the federal government need to do this.  And the real crisis in science is its committment to DIE and wokeness, which has led to fraud, fakery and failure to work on what actually makes life better for Americans.

Harvard is stiffening up against the assault on it by Trump.  A long overdue assault, since Harvard is in the vanguard of failing to actually educate students, hires staff and selects students solely on an ideological basis, and is racist, sexist and anti-semitic to its core.  Budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts–bad, bad, bad–all Trump’s fault.

You get the point, just more examples of how pathetically this paper serves our state.

    It’s astonishing how thoroughly Marxist ideology has permeated the legacy media.

    I would’ve expected Glen Taylor to show more balance at the Star Tribune. While his reputation as the Timberwolves’ owner has been mixed, his stewardship of the Star Tribune has been even more disappointing. Even Jeff Bezos has occasionally stepped in to course-correct at the Washington Post—something Taylor has failed to do.

    And the broader impact of George Soros on our country remains deeply troubling.
