The Strib is determined to become a complete laughingstock. Today’s paper, front page top story headline is about a Republican state representative, the chair of the State House committee investigating all the fraud in the state, a committee that Democrats tried to prevent from being established. The headline says the Representative, Kristen Robbins, was “criticized over fraud tips”. The backdrop to this is that our bozo Governor Little Timmy Walz and our racist Attorney General Keith Ellison have not only shown no interest in trying to prevent fraud, they actively facilitated it and covered it up, not wanting to offend the vote-generating Somali community or stop the campaign contribution pipeline. In this environment, those government employees who knew about the fraud were quite properly fearful of retribution and retaliation if they reported it to the state. The pathetic Star Tribune editors try to make it sound like she did something wrong.
The truth of course, which the paper knew, as it is in the third paragraph of the story, is that Rep. Robbins did report the information to the US Attorney’s office, the only entity that had shown any interest in investigating and that did in fact arrest and charge, and continues to arrest and charge, the fraudsters. Keith Ellison hasn’t charged one person in regard to the billions in fraud. Rep. Robbins’ actions ensured that the fraud would actually be investigated, as opposed to the state retaliating against whistleblowers. But then the publisher of the Strib is a Walz administration hack, a completely spineless weasel who is still toddying up to his former boss, the Incompetent Blowhard.
The front page then continues with a headline “Attacks on trans youth escalate”. At first I thought maybe the Strib had come to its senses and recognized that the mutilation of children and adolescents was barbaric and grotesquely wrong, based on a whacked ideology with the most absurd sexual stereotyping ever seen. But now, the Strib is upset that the current administration is quite properly going after medical providers who are far more interested in the lifetime stream of revenue they can get from these physically ruined patients than in actually helping them. Those providers should be in jail for what they done. But in Stribland they are heroes.
And of course the obligatory assault on actual enforcement of the immigration laws. Just another routine day of the Strib doing every thing it can to defend horrific Dem policies and actions and attempt to demonize Reps and conservatives.
Hey, you have another opportunity to hear me drone on and on about a topic. I am going to speak at the Maple Grove Community Center on January 10 at 10am. The talk will be on US health care spending, why it is high and what we can do about it. Regular readers know I have a few opinions on that. Anyway, please come, love to meet as many of you as possible in person and thank you for reading.
