Quick Hits: Volume CCCLXXXVI

- Gov. Tim Walz finally announced a few weeks ago that he would seek a third term. Now Minnesota's AG has followed suit. 


Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on Tuesday announced he plans to seek a third term in office in 2026.

Ellison, a former Democratic Congressman elected attorney general in 2018, said he would use another four years in office to continue protecting Minnesota consumers from “greedy corporations.”

The attorney general said he also would continue to oppose the agenda of President Donald Trump. Ellison has been involved in numerous lawsuits against the Republican administration, including action this year to challenge Trump’s executive order banning transgender youth from girls’ sports.

“I’m running for re-election to keep Minnesota a fair place, where rule of law prevails over power and privilege,” Ellison said in his campaign announcement. “Since Minnesota elected me seven years ago, we’ve won tough fights to help Minnesotans afford their lives. We don’t bow down to kings in America, not presidents, not billionaires, not giant corporations, because everyone deserves to afford their life.”


This is the dictionary definition of the "crazy cycle" in that progs like AG Ellison decry destructive policies that his party is responsible for and that electing he and his leftist ilk will stem the tide of that destruction they caused.


In a favorable election cycle for Dems in 2018, Ellison won his first term by less than 4% against a woefully underfunded challenger. Four years later, he won reelection by less than a point against yet another GOP challenger with neither name recognition nor fundraising prowess. So if this trend continues.....BAH, who am I kidding? The MNGOP is still a raging garbage fire who will likely be unable to put forth a formidable challenge to this vacuous hack. Alas. 



- I've said many times before that I never thought I'd see the day where a GOP President would be more villfied than George W. Bush. But the perpetual rage on display over the past decade regarding anything Donald Trump has forever dispelled that notion. 


And guess what? Progs somehow are going to find another level of disdain for the next potential Republican POTUS. 





This is exactly why leftists are not to be believed when they defend their "Trump is Hitler" rhetoric by insisting it's because Trump is uniquely dangerous. Progs will always, without fail, declare that next rightwing boogeyman even scarier. 



- I've seen several prominent leftists in my social media going all Linda-Blair-head-spin-projectile-vomiting-in-The-Exorcist over the Trump administration apparently demolishing the White House? 





As usual, the hyperbole doesn't quite match reality. 


The renovation of the East Wing has begun. The privately funded refurbishment will bring capacity for events from 200 to 650 people. The East Wing is where the President traditionally signs bills, announces major initiatives, and hosts international delegations and other major White House events. It is where Nancy Reagan announced her “Just Say No” anti-drug movement, and where Michelle Obama unveiled her “Let’s Move” children’s health program. The current space also happens to be too small and often requires augmentation with an unsightly white circus tent on the White House grounds. Expansion is both pragmatic and overdue. It will be used to the benefit of both Republican and Democratic administrations for years to come, at no cost to taxpayers.


Say, Hillary? I remember the shenanigans that took place in "our house" while you were there for 8 years. Might wanna sit this one out. 


 



I'm not certain whether these leftists are willfully ignorant of the particulars of the remodel or they know full well what's happening but wanna gin up outrage among their low information voters.
