Strong Endorsement: Mark Legvold for MN Senate District 58, Amy Klobuchar for MN Governor

To be clear, I endorse in the strongest terms pro-Democracy Mark Legvold to unseat Rice/Scott/Dakota County Minnesota Republican State Senator and Hereditary Lonsdale Chiropractor Dr Bill Lieske, not that he is as bad as other Republicans we could mention, and Amy Klobuchar as the next consensus Governor of the State of Minnesota. I was never entirely convinced that Hillary Clinton and not some other Democrat or independent should be President starting 2017 just because it was her turn in 2016 (personally, I thought Hillary was better in 2008), but it is Amy Klobuchar’s turn, she can win, she is actually really good (though I certainly hear concerns from progressives about her history as an aggressive prosecutor of for example Black men), and also, she is unopposed.

Some other local races are contested. Caucuses start February 3rd.

Two nice things about having the full Carleton Democrats US Representative CD2 debate on YouTube (see link) is that it can be played at double speed and there’s a transcript. I have no endorsement but will definitely be voting for one of the three in November (former State Senator/Private-Practice Lawyer Matt Little, current State Senator/Hennepin County Hospitalist Doctor Matt Klein, or current State Representative/Flight Attendant/Union Organizer Kaela Berg). Past debate performance does not guarantee future results but for me the fuller context was illuminating than campaign ads and Twitter/Instagram highlight reels. Also, there was a short introductory video from US Senate Democratic Primary Candidate Angie Craig and my main takeaway from that was that she made a point of saying “ass” a couple times and also, just in case you had never heard this before, she’s a person who won a district with a lot of straight men who don’t like her (for example, my own alcoholic elder male sibling loved Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Pete Hegseth, and Jason Lewis), but some Republicans and most Democrats do vote for Angie Craig. The other pro-Democracy US Senate candidate is Lieutenant Governor and past State Representative/Senator Peggy Flanagan who was introduced at Imminent by Fred Rogers, DFL SD58 Treasurer Joe Chihade, and Kristi Pursell and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Matt Little there too not that there’s anything wrong with Kaela Berg. And for whatever it’s worth Peggy Flanigan is publicly playing nice with Amy Klobuchar, who if she won Governor would be able to appoint her successor, so yeah, even if you don’t like Angie or Peggy for some reason, you should probably vote for Amy Klobuchar and not QAnon Republican Scott Jensen who is very clearly seen coming as the leading Anti-Vax, pro-genocide, anti-Popular Front, anti-Antifa candidate. https://youtu.be/32b8Jw2MxKE

I never understood flaneurs

Being an Earnest person like that trust fund baby allegedly sponsoring echo-terrorism against narcocysts who actually want to see Cop City, Wansee Cons, and New Jack City dominance in inner-ring tree-lined suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia is unhealthy and exhausting. Adjust your bad aptitudes and try to limit everyone's carbonic flatulence, ok? The mad cow veterinarian, the nurse, and the Gaia have had a hard day at the sheepish wether bar.

I’m glad I’m not jest golfing

Srsly.

It was sad to see this lovely organization let it go. Self care, shelf lives. Still Kickin financials.

Some people are less vampiric and care about otters.

Most Conspiracy Theories Are Wrong

Most scientific theories are wrong, in part, because the universe is complex. Theories that have, through the Scientific Method, been demonstrated convincing, over an extended period of time, may be referred to as Laws. Generally, Laws of Physics do not change. They may, however, be scoped to appropriate values of time, space, and mass, as Newton's Laws were, relativistic ally.

Sone examples of conspiracy theories that have, to my satisfaction, been proven substantially true, include:

1. Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, for the purpose of genocide. Yes, people suspected at the time that the Katyn Massacre was committed by the Soviets, not the Nazis. This lie was accepted, at the time, in the interest of East/West world peace. Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression, Volume II - Loc https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/llmlp/2011525363_NT_Nazi_Vol-II/2011525363_NT_Nazi_Vol-II.pdf

2. British Neo-Nazi sympathizer David Irving intentionally worked with others to falsify history and deny the previous for the purpose of promoting hatred. This has been proven at the highest Courts. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2000/115.html

2. In Soviet Russia, some Communist infiltration of the USA was planned and carried out, though obviously McCarthyism did more harm than good. https://time.com/6072014/ethel-rosenberg-revisited/

3. Mr Trump, Mr Dunham, and many others affiliated with them, motivated by hatred and greed, illegally attacked the Open Society Foundation, founded by George Soros, survivor of Nazi and Communist totalitarian influence over his native Hungary. George Soros is a loyal Citizen of the United States of America. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/26/us/politics/durham-trump-russia-barr.html

4. The Naqba, abuse of Palestinians by Israelis, also occurred, and should not have occurred, in the context of a war for independence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba_Day

That's what she said - "War exposes people to things that will never go away"

Courage Yet Unseen

There are thousands of white southerners of goodwill whose voices are yet unheard, whose course is yet unclear and whose courageous acts are yet unseen.

The primary civic festival in City of Northfield, Rice County, Minnesota is The Defeat of Jesse James Days, that one time when ordinary citizens repelled cowardly Confederate Traitorous brigands who were continuing to rob Northern banks against the direct orders of their commander, Robert E.
