Quick Hits: Volume CDXVI

- President Donald Trump has decided to insert himself into the GOP race for Minnesota governor. 





This is of zero surprise given how Lindell has debased himself over the past several years in clinging to stolen election conspiracies, all to the delight of Trump.  


This endorsement is a clear indication that the President values loyalty over electoral viability, given Lindell has absolutely zero chance to prevail in the general election if he somehow wins the GOP nod. What's worse is a Lindell general election candidacy may well adversely affect down ballot races,  resulting in the DFL regaining the trifecta (Governor's office, House and Senate) they so enjoyed in 2023-24. And if that happens, the state of Minnesota becomes a cold California in less than a decade after that. 


In short, I wholly reject your recommendation, Mr. President. 



- Meanwhile in the GOP race for US Senator out of Minnesota, it's becoming clear who the most viable general election candidate will be. 





Meanwhile, the MNGOP endorsed candidate Adam Schwarze continues to flail about, demanding that Tafoya engage in a debate. Meanwhile, Tafoya is essentially running a general election campaign with direct voter contacts, national media hits, etc. 


I'm not ready to suggest that Tafoya could do the unthinkable and break the MNGOP's near 20-year losing streak in statewide races. However, this race could help keep the US Senate in Republican control if the Dems' financial resources have to be diverted to defending a seat in reliably blue Minnesota. But given the fundraising prowess Tafoya has shown, we certainly can't bet against her prevailing in a general election. 



- The left has been fomenting violence for some time toward what they chide as the "MAGA Supreme Court." And given there are enough mentally unstable people who will take those words to heart, it shouldn't be all that shocking what the SCOTUS justices have been enduring.





Around the time the Dobbs decision was leaked (which overturned Roe v. Wade), Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a target of a potential assassin. And two years prior to that, while SCOTUS was hearing a case regarding a Louisiana law that would require doctors who perform abortions to have the right to admit patients at nearby hospitals, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer very clearly called out two specific justices. 





It'll never cease to shock me the lengths pro-aborts will go to in order to protect what they consider a sacrosanct right to kill an infant. It's demonic.
