Golden Valley is a mess. In their pursuit for “equity” they are destroying the city. They wrote an equity plan that required all contractors looking to do business in Golden Valley to answer certain equity-related questions. They put equity ahead of fairness and have a plan to ensure things work that way. Equity has become the foremost standard in hiring police officers, which by the way, they are at 50% capacity. Scott Nadeau (a whitey) was the interim police chief, wanted the job, and was passed over for Virgil Green (who is black). Mayor Shep Harris influenced the decision toward Green. Jesse Smith (who was on a city equity-based task force) encouraged people to find dirt on Nadeau and engage in race-based hiring. Are hiring quotas a fair way to grow a workforce?

They acknowledge that Golden Valley is built on stolen Native American land, but don’t do a dang thing to give the land back. Put your money where your mouth is. Why aren’t they doing anything about it? Because they’re not serious about it. They’re spouting off empty words so that they sound like they are embracing woke values without having to live by them. Shep isn’t running for election, so who will be the face of Golden Valley? They continue to move hard to the left, and the people complain. Yet they keep voting for these results. How about trying something different? These things are coming to your town if you aren’t aware. Now is the time to plan a run in 2024. If you have odd year elections, get in now! Don’t risk taking one more step backwards.

We also discuss the recent revelations in the Hunter Biden debacle. The news and the documents supporting these claims have been public knowledge for a couple of years, but only now is the discussion being forced into the mainstream of American discourse. What took so long? Why are they finally having to talk about this? We give our opinions on all of this.

The New Public Safety

Podcast Audio: https://commsolutionsmn.libsyn.com/episode-245-the-new-public-safety

The MN State Legislature is moving on a new public safety bill. Governor Walz and Lieutenant Governor Flanagan are on tour around the state to tout their new bill; The Plan to Protect Minnesotans Health And Safety. It includes the following ideas: investing in community organizations, police reforms, a state-wide violent crime initiative, and that every Minnesotan deserves healthcare, a place to call home, breathable air, and drinkable water. How’s that for an over-bloated bill? Even the Republicans are proposing their own $65 Million COPS program. Thanks for standing up for fiscal responsibility, guys.

Here’s the reality, when these people talk about stopping violent crime, they really mean setting other criminals free to commit other crimes. You have to look at what they are not saying here. They are using code language to tell you their values by omission. This is a $300 million grant program going to organizations that promote probation, youth services, truancy programs, elder abuse prevention, neighborhood watches, resident engagement, and community-driven intervention and prevention strategies. What does any of that mean? They also want a more diverse police force. It also seeks to start a “Green Bank” to fight climate change. All of this “free” money will be flowing in to our counties, cities, and townships, creating unfunded mandates that you’ll have to fund forever.

We also discuss our take on the State of the Union, the war in Ukraine, the factions of fascism, and the the play for world domination. Sounds like another award-winning podcast!

Our public schools have become evangelists for the equity doctrine. It’s not good enough to have equal opportunities, because you have to have equal outcomes. Our school districts are spending tens and hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars on hiring Equity Consultants like Equity Alliance MN. They come in to do an “equity audit”, to show you just how racist your school is. There’s good news though, after they find out how racist your district is, they just happen to have the solution too. Problem… reaction… solution. These groups get tons of money from groups like the Bush Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, and the St Paul Foundation. Why do they need so much of your tax money, when the foundations are funding them?

We share one of their parent surveys with you right on the air to show you how they use these questions to make a case to sell their own solutions to the school district.

We also give our take on the early stages of the Ukrainian/Russian war. Don’t worry, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are on the case! We’re all doomed.

Getting Away With Murder

It’s officially an election year, and one of the most overlooked elections on the ballot is the county attorney. As we’ve seen, this is completely unacceptable, because these prosecutors are deciding to let criminals go free before a day of justice ever happens in court. We are watching crime rates rise as career criminals are allowed to terrorize these DFL-run cities, and leaking out into the suburbs. Why don’t we have a voice in our safety? We do, but we don’t take these races seriously. The candidates that we have lining up to succeed Mike Freeman are no prize. It’s more of the progressive left carbon copies, leaving us with no choice at all. Not one of these are tough on crime. Not one. They do want to hold police accountable though.. even though that’s not their job. They also want to engage in bail reform, so that criminals don’t have to pay it to get out before trial. Whether you decide to fill in the bubble for Sara Swatisingh, Mary Moriarty, Simon Troutman, or Ryan “The Fonz” Winkler, you will have someone that will usher criminals in closer to your door. They are running so they can legislate from the attorney’s office. That is completely unacceptable and illegal. And for those of you that are in other counties, including out- state Minnesota, these are the kinds of county attorneys that are being recruited. Take watch before your county goes this direction as well.

Also, we have a local government mask mandate update! Autocratic cities are falling all over themselves to control their population. We also discuss the weakness of American policy in Ukraine.

Crystal Clear Choice

We’ve spent many years trying to explain the importance of local elections. It can be difficult to be an informed voter in local races, just because they don’t get the press of other races, and the media doesn’t do their job and dig in past “tell us about yourself” and “name your top three priorities”. We show you how we do it as we review the candidates running where we got our start; Crystal, MN.

We look at the following races: Jim Adams v. Steve Adams, Eric Wilhelm v. David Cummings, Tony Sumnicht v. John Budziszewski, and Nancy LaRoche v. Jim Martin.

The State Labor Federation of the AFL-CIO has a union member candidate program, where the state union is putting money and muscle behind local elections, because they have to own everything. Look out for these union-funded candidates. You will hear all about carbon footprint, light rail, equity, and the rest of the radical union agenda.

We also take a moment to discuss the Hunter Biden e-mails, and what they mean for the remainder of the election cycle. One thing is for sure… no matter what, there will be more riots and there may be a push for adding D.C. and Puerto Rico as states, putting term limits on the Supreme Court, getting rid of the electoral college, and other such nonsense. It’s all laid out in a document rom the Transition Integrity Project called “Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition“. We also take a look at what’s at stake. You must get informed and get out and vote!

Survey Says…

The MN Department of Education recently put out a survey that should make parents very worried. They asked students super personal questions that they had no rights to ask them. They gathered information about gender identity, sexual orientation, after school supervision,  drug and alcohol use, mental health, and plenty more invasive questions… including questions about you (their parents). After reading through this as a parent, how can you not be totally upset that your school district would ask some of these questions of your children? Also, some of these numbers verify that the things that schools have been pushing (gender identity, equity, fewer suspensions, etc) are not an issue for almost every child that took the survey. Then what are we doing spending all this time, money, and resources on something that’s not a problem? Why all of the programs? Ok, can we just get back to reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic already?

We review what the fine taxpayers of ISD 281 are getting for the money they volunteered to give up to the district in the last referendum. Let’s just say they are spending a ton of money on hiring non-educational staff. They’ve hired a number of Equity Specialists to do “something”. Yeah, we’re not sure what they do either.

Lastly, we also breakdown the whole impeachment debacle. Was there bribery? Was there quid pro quo? Are the media and the democrats running the biggest scam in history? This thing is rotten to the core and the media isn’t giving you the full story. We tell you what we know.
