‘That Tim Walz guy’ drove Joe Rogan to endorse Trump

“Then you have Walz, this guy, it seems like he is a compulsive liar,” Rogan said. “At the very least, he has lied multiple times about fairly insignificant things. Like, whether or not he was a head coach or an assistant coach. And the lies have always elevated him socially. All the lies about his military service, or at least implying that he served in a different aspect, then there was Tiananmen Square. Everything enhances his virtue. This is not what anybody wants. You want the opposite. You want a guy like J.D. Vance who served in the Marines, and went to Yale, comes from a single mother with addiction problems. Rose from hard work and dedication to become who he is now.”

Trump doubles down on Hegseth support

“Led by President Trump, we’re fighting for Pete Hegseth. And we’re doing so because Pete Hegseth will fight for our troops,” JD Vance also wrote. “For too long, the Pentagon has been led by people who lose wars. Pete Hegseth is a man who fought in those wars.”

Judge won’t toss Target lawsuit by shareholders

Another long delay: Walz’s DNR stalls NewRange mine permit until late 2025

Obligation or not, the Minnesota DNR is under the direction of a Gov. Tim Walz appointee made when he first took office in 2019: commissioner Sarah Strommen.

Strommen is on record as stating she has “no opinion” on the copper-nickel mining process—but she was previously policy director for Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, a hyper-aggressive Twin Cities nonprofit that that does little else than oppose both PolyMet and Twin Metals since their beginnings. Strommen was also associate director of the Minnesota Land Trust—another Twin Cities anti-mining outfit.

Hegseth would be highest ranking Minnesotan serving White House in decades

U.S. Senators who have already publicly backed Hegseth include Sen. Mike Lee, of Utah, and Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who said Hegseth is “100% committed to building a lethal military that’s feared by our enemies and respected by our allies, while doing more to take care of those who serve our nation and their families.”
Others who lined up to back Hegseth’s nomination include the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and another Trump cabinet designee, Congressman Mike Waltz, R-Florida.

As laser strikes on airplanes surge in Minnesota, so do dangers

Reports of potentially catastrophic laser strikes aimed at aircraft flying in Minnesota have increased more than 180% since 2015, and are on track this year to reach their highest level yet.

Pilots often describe laser strikes — when someone trains a laser toward the cockpit of an airplane or helicopter, intentionally or not — as a flash, like the sudden pop of a camera’s flashbulb. These attacks may temporarily blind or at the very least distract a pilot usually during takeoffs and landings, considered critical phases of flight for planes that may be carrying a hundred passengers or more.

The DFL war on Minnesota agriculture must end

We are now past the very unusual 2024 election. Before we turn the page to 2025 and beyond, we should pause to reflect upon a critical reality: Minnesota’s farmers have endured years under relentless attack from hard-left Democrats in governments in our state and beyond, resulting in damaging policies and regulatory overreach that threaten our state.
