Tolkkinen: Minnesota has become a state with two flags

No…

We have one flag. There’s an old flag that hasn’t been replaced or is being held on to by racists and curmudgeons.

That’s it.

I see a lot of businesses that went hard into this, buying pristine new versions of the old flag and trying to make some kind of statement by it.

Only statement they made is that they don’t want my money. And that maybe they hate Native Americans and have a kink for slavery.

Just get used to this one. It is a better look all around.

Kamala Harris doesn’t owe the national press anything

The same mass media that will stop everything to air a Donald Trump fart but never fact check a thing a Republican says, demands to know why Kamala Harris won’t sit for their loaded questions.

I mean, she picked a VP choice who spent decades in the National Guard only to be attacked by some 4 year REMF Marine and they took the couch fucker’s side. Gee, wonder why they aren’t thinking they’d get fair treatment.

Hell, I even called out our local NPR affiliate and actually had a reporter question whether I really believed they were biased. I provided examples. Haven’t heard back.

Figures.

So, yeah, fuck ’em.

What to know after Israeli strike kills World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza

It shouldn’t take the deaths of some aid workers to stop what is going on in Gaza, but that’s kind of where I guess we might be at.

The difference between folks who have a terrorist group hiding in their midst, and some foreigners on the ground trying to feed them, is that the aid group has José Andrés, who some world leaders actually listen to.

Once again, it shouldn’t matter, but it does. Hopefully he can lean in hard and get done what months of diplomats have not been able to.

Yes, Israel needs their people back, and to get the killers and kidnappers who started this. But wholesale attacks on anyone in a geographic area ain’t gonna get it done. Everyone knows that. This is just brutality for brutality’s sake.
