23 of the nation's top 400 billionaires gave to MN Democrats in the past three years. Here is the list:

#mnleg Image
For those wondering about Republicans, only 7 Forbes billionaires gave to the MN GOP over that period, for a total of $70,000.

Bill Austin (Starkey) gave the bulk ($49,000). Austin was the only one to give to both parties.
And no. The names Adelson, Koch, Thiel, and Trump appear nowhere on the list.

A thread on the pernicious "hate incident registry" about to become law in Minnesota.

As we've noted before, the demand for hate crimes in Minnesota vastly exceeds the supply.

And there is an entire industry in the state (bureaucrats and nonprofits) dependent on producing more.
The language is contained in SF 2909, the "public safety bill" on page 50, beginning at line 31.

revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php…
The language is a 15-line run on sentence that begins,

"solicit, receive, and compile information from community organizations, school
districts and charter schools, and individuals regarding incidents committed in whole or in
substantial part because of the victim's or...

A thread on conservative voters, politicians, and elections.

Like most of you, I've been frustrated with recent election results.

These are my observations from spending the past two weeks digging through campaign finance reports from both parties.
In Minnesota, Democrats rely on a handful of mostly out-of-state mega donors to fund their campaigns.

As for grassroot, small-dollar donors, they don't seem to even bother.
Minnesota Republicans do much, much better with small-dollar, grassroots donors. Their median donor is much more reflective of the median Minnesota voter.

That said, Republican end up getting outspent by a ratio of 2:1 to 3:1.

A thread on societal collapse.

Since we jettisoned the concept of merit, in favor of equity, the clock has been ticking.
Our economy is based on a series of complex, interrelated systems for transportation, and delivery ofenergy, food, and consumer goods.
These systems require periodic investment and renewal to maintain effectiveness and an army of trained, dedicated managers and engineers to operate.

I am frequently asked for proof that Ilhan Omar married her brother. The people who make this request are not asking in good faith.

But for those who are still new to the story, I've tried to boil down the story to the fewest links that work in the Twitter format.

Here goes...
This is the marriage certificate for Ilhan's first legal marriage. It was conducted by a Christian minister in 2009 and she married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
Reporting by several outlets (including the Star Tribune) identify the man in the picture below (arrow) with Ilhan as the same man on the marriage certificate.

To recap: in 2020, Feeding Our Future (FOF) applied to add an additional 144 sites to their food distribution network.

The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) refused to approve their applications based on their questions about the FOF operation to date.
In November 2020, FOF sued MDE in state court, to force MDE to approve the applications.

In March 2021, MDE stopped payment on invoices submitted by FOF, based on concerns about their operation.

FOF asked the judge to rule also on the payments question.
In April 2021, the judge ruled against MDE on the applications questions, citing due process concerns. He fined MDE over $40,000.

He apparently was never asked to rule on the payments question, because by then MDE had voluntarily resumed making payments.
