The Anti-Strib, Weeks After August 17, 2026

By September 2, 2026Commentary10 min read

The Strib continues its years-long, decades-long campaign to be as worthless as possible, doing no original journalism, relying on other sources for stories, and being nothing but a shameless mouthpiece for the most whacked Dems and ignoring the rampant fraud, crime in Minnesota and the state’s rapid decline.

August 19–Little Timmy Walz, the champion of renewable energy, tries to stop mining for the minerals needed for that purpose.  Minnesota doesn’t do anything about our huge crime problem, but it is spending lots of money trying to extradite a law enforcement officer from Texas.  Minnesota’s law excusing teens from their brutal crimes is under attack as it is letting these creeps get away with literal murder.

August 20–More Trump is destroying the environment lies.  The federal government owns way too much land, which it has no use for, and it should be sold.  Strib buys into the despicable treatment of one of Trump’s aides, who happens to be a young woman.  Strib actually published a halfway complimentary article about a Rep candidate.  Shockingly, Trump is appointing people who are on his side to government positions, I mean a Dem would never do that, and of course a President from any party should instead appoint those opposed to him or her to those positions.

August 21–a local VA is having trouble with staffing and it is affecting surgeries; has to be Trump’s fault.  The US debt pile is high, definitely Trump’s fault.  King Walz illegally tries to stop a mineral mine, which is needed for those renewable energy sources he is dictating that everyone has to use.  A Minneapolis program is under scruting for how the money was spent.  No need to investigate, we can be assured that it is fraudulent.  North Korea doesn’t actually like Trump, despite his attempts to be nice to them.  There is nothing with the whacked white women who are protesting in favor of a mother who strangled her three children–they are just being good neighbors like all the whacked white women who protested ICE in Minneapolis.  Peggy Flanagan, the literal moron Dem candidate for Governor, isn’t really as far left as Karl Marx, she just sounds like she is.

August 22–Minnesota Dems vote fraud plans are complicated by a ruling requiring that all parties have to have an election judge present at early voting.  A former Dem Congressman was having sex with a Chinese spy and giving her who knows what governemnt secrets, but let’s also run a story about a Rep candidate who might have mistakenly picked up an expensive pen at airport security.  The wonderful country and government of Cuba are being treated horribly by Trump.

August 23–Gosh, the Dems are really raising property taxs a lot, especially in Minneapolis.  We are sure there must be a good reason for that and hopefully at least four or five people will keep living in the city.  The Dem candidate for Governor has to try to ignore all the fraud and other dumb stuff that happened under the Incompetent Blowhard.  Environmental terrorism as Trump tries to keep California from totally bankrupting itself with stupid policies.  Any story in which a whacked judge tries to stop a perfectly legal Trump policy gets big coverage, but when those judges are slapped down, not so much.  Data center terrorism, with no note of the benefits of these facilities and the fact that opposition is funded by China.

August 24–Next epidemic panic, courtesy of the NYTimes.  Tanker spill terrorism.  License plate reader terrorism.  Canada trade war terrorism.

August 25–Iran war terrorism.  Trump is hurting farmers terrrorism.  Our criminal and racist Attorney General Keith Ellison is trying to run away from his facilitation and encouragement of Somali fraud.  A French tourist idiotically tried to walk across Death Valley when his car stalled, but that might be climate terrorism.  Central American drug boat destruction terrorism.  Wildfire terrorism.  The state has to get a court order to try to stop Somali thugs from having a battle at the State Fair.

August 26–Canada is the good guy in the trade war with the US.  The prosecutor and immigrants running a sex ring and Medicaid fraud scam did so for years with Keith Ellison never doing anything.  Maybe he was a customer.  ICE and immigration terrorism as people who came her illegally or are staying illegally are being kicked out.  Most people don’t understand and the Strib certainly won’t tell them, that these people had a negative effect on the labor market for native-born Americans.  Thugs in Minneapolis continue to smash the windows of hundreds of cars, with no arrests and no real effort to stop it.  An unreal story, even for corrupt Minnesota, about an ex-prosecutor being involved in a sex-trafficking ring.

August 27–In recent stories about a school shooting that took place about a year ago, the Strib completely fails to mention that the shooter was another mentally deranged transgender ideology victim who also in his own words used too much marijuana.  More about Minnesota wasting resources trying to go after an ICE officer in Texas.  Ocean temperature terrorism, also lies, the ocean has been far warmer in the past and the current temps are not unprecedented in any way.  Hegseth is ruining the military terrorism.  Minnesota electric companies have been forced to use expensive, unreliable so-called renewable energy and now the state doesn’t want them to raise bills to pay for this expensive energy.  Violent and angry Alex Pretti is owed something his family says.  Maybe they should have gotten him under control before his anger got him in trouble.

August 28–environmental terrorism, lies as usual, about how a mine to get minerals needed for renewable energy and other purposes and lessen our dependence on China will drain some of the millions of acres of wetlands in Minnesota.  Minnesota is joining lawsuits against federal efforts to stop mail ballot fraud; the Strib knows that Dems depend on that mail voting fraud to stay in power.  Immigration terrorism as we see conflicting stories about ICE arresting more with no criminal record, which is misleading, as they are being arrested for committing a crime, and then a story about how in Minnesota ICE is focusing on detaining people who have been in jails and prisons.  Gee–sounds like they are going after criminals, and the Strib tried to tell us these people were all innocent, hard-working good neighbors.

August 29–the Strib’s TDS bleeds over to the business section, as it (really the NYTimes, because as usual the Strib can’t do any of its own journalism) criticizes the Trump plan to expand what qualifies as a “small business”, which is long overdue, given the effects of inflation.  And another story in the business section goes after Trump for some bizarre twist on his refusal to allow use of a very old photo with the notorious Roy Cohn, with whom Trump had no affiliation.  In the main section, also knows as the section for reprinting stories from other sources, we have yet another story about the financial incompetence of the Minneapolis public schools.  Iran conflict terror, including the lie that Iran controls the Hormuz strait, this story being published at the same time that other, more responsible sources are reporting that a substantial majority of the amount of oil shipped through the Strait before the war is going through now, with much of the rest finding other routes out.  Another Dem-appointed judge tries to illegally revoke Trump’s mail ballot rule, and that judge also will likely be spanked by the Supreme Court.  Canada is hiring professors from US universities.  Good riddance to these ideologues; they won’t be missed and they can enjoy life in flailing Canada.  ICE terrorism as usual.

August 30–The Strib can’t avoid noticing that property taxes are soaring in the metro area, every county proposing double digit rises.  What the Strib doesn’t tell you is that every one of these counties is run by Dems.  This is the biggest affordability issue–the way dems have driven up the cost of government.  Strib, or rather the sources it reprints, are trying to figure out how the Venezuela oil deal can be portrayed as a bad one.  Climate terrorism about the Colorado River water level.

August 31–Iran war terrorism.  Bicyclists getting hurt terrorism, I have to say whatever happens to them they likely cause, because in general, and I bicycle too, they are arrogant and think the traffic laws don’t apply to them.  More whacked decisions from anti-Trump judges.  And I have to note that the Strib publishes an op-ed about an out-of-state billionaire supporting a Rep candidate, and never bothers to note that Dems get far, far more money from these people.

September 1–the Strib reprints an NYTimes story about the “dark” money in politics, without noting that almost all of it is spent on behalf of Dems, and that a lot of it likely is illegal foreign money, from China, Russia and other adversaries.  Amy Klobuchar, the do-nothing Senator who now wants to be Governor of Minnesota, is avoiding the fraud issue that she did nothing to investigate.  The state fair here has an annual display of “crop art”.  The State Fair is run by whacked Dems and routinely allows pieces denigrating Reps and conservatives.  This year it allowed a piece that was just “8647”, which is a blatant call to murder Trump.  The Strib attempts to minimize this by calling it a “veiled critique”.  Here is a not so veiled critique for the Strib–you are a piece of shit paper that serves as a filthy mouthpiece for whackos.  Climate terrorism about coral reefs, more lies, ignoring for example the recent Australia release showing that the Great Barrier Reef is in good shape.  More vandalism in Minneapolis, as no car parked on a street is safe.

September 2–gosh, what a shame, an ICE agent might escape Minnesota justice.  Trump’s ballroom is going ahead but the Strib focuses on the Chief Justice saying it is likely unlawful.  More Hegseth ruining the military terrorism.  A Dem “whistleblower” says the new mail ballot system is flawed; but the real issue is that it may stop the Dem vote fraud.
