Minnesota expands mandatory criminal background checks across state agencies

By Jenna Gleob – AlphaNews.org – Oct 16, 2025

The state has updated its background check policy to make criminal screenings mandatory for certain jobs, a shift that comes months after Alpha News uncovered a convicted sex offender working at the Department of Education.
Minnesota Management and Budget has issued a new statewide directive requiring more rigorous background checks for prospective state employees.
According to an internal “Enterprise Employee Resources” briefing obtained by Alpha News, the “Background Checks” update was sent out early September.
The memo states that “the primary policy change now requires rather than encourages criminal history checks in specific circumstances.”… READ MORE

Gavin Newsom Handed $53 Million in State Contracts to His Biggest Donors

California has become a case study in how political connections translate directly into profit.
For Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wealthiest supporters, campaign contributions appear to double as investments—ones that yield lucrative state contracts, taxpayer-funded benefits, and prestigious appointments.
Since Newsom entered office in 2019, records show that California has steered more than $53 million in state contracts to companies owned or managed by his top donors.
These contracts have covered everything from wildfire prevention and emergency response to public health services.

Democrats Should Skip the Midterms


By Kevin Jackson | August 24, 2025

As if we really needed President Trump dropping bombs on Iran to expose the Leftists in America.

The man did what almost every president before him has done, and Democrats are showing why they are the party of the ass. But before we get too wrapped up in what’s happening today, let’s remember Democrats’ recent shenanigans. But let’s begin in 1992 and work our way up.

The Los Angeles riots of 1992 were a flashpoint in American history, sparked by the acquittal of four police officers in the beating of Rodney King. Fast-forward to today, and riots in LA and other Democrat strongholds have become a grim rerun, a tired trope in the Left’s political theater.

But this isn’t about the riots themselves—yawn, they’re as predictable as a Hollywood sequel. What’s fascinating is the damage they’ve done to the Democratic Party, a self-inflicted wound festering with every chant, every Molotov cocktail, and every sanctimonious tweet from the Left’s moral high ground. Let’s unpack how the Democrats have turned their own playbook into a political suicide note, with a nod to the idea that Leftists seem to have a fetish for backing insanity over common sense.

The Riots as a Metaphor for Leftist Chaos

Riots aren’t just about broken windows or looted stores; they’re a metaphor for the Democrats’ broader strategy—or lack thereof. Leftist-controlled cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle have become petri dishes for lawlessness, where policies coddle criminals and illegal immigrants while ignoring the pleas of law-abiding citizens. From judges harboring illegals who’ve committed heinous crimes to congressmen jetting across continents to retrieve equally vile offenders, the Left’s obsession with defying immigration laws is a masterclass in self-sabotage. Take, for instance, the case of San Francisco’s sanctuary city policies, which have shielded violent offenders from deportation, only to see them reoffend. The arrest of complicit judges is a start, but America is still waiting for the politicians who thwart our laws to face the music.

Why do Democrats persist in this madness? Polls scream they’re on the wrong side of the issue—60% of Americans support stronger border enforcement. Yet, like a toddler throwing a tantrum in a grocery store, they double down. It’s not just stubbornness; it’s a pathological commitment to insanity, as if they’re auditioning for a remake of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The riots are the inevitable outcome of this mindset: create chaos, then pose as the savior.

Sadly, for them, they didn’t anticipate someone like President Trump. He’s the guy who steps in to actually quell the unrest. And when he’s successful, the Left loses its collective mind. They’re not mad about the riots; they’re mad they’re losing control.

The Power Grab Behind the Chaos

Let’s talk numbers, because math doesn’t lie, even if politicians do. The Democrats’ grip on power is tethered to illegal immigration. With roughly 760,000 people per congressional seat and an estimated 40 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., the math is stark: every 760,000 deportations costs the Democrats a seat. That’s 50 congressional seats, give or take, propped up by fraudulent representation. It’s not about compassion; it’s about votes, power, and control. The riots? They’re a distraction, a smokescreen to keep the public from noticing the real game.

Matt Walsh nailed it with his sardonic tweet:

“Wait. American troops are defending American cities rather than defending random countries in the Middle East? Outrage!”

The Left’s outrage isn’t about principle; it’s about losing their carefully curated narrative. When Trump secures the border and deports illegal immigrants at a record pace, he’s not just solving a problem—he’s dismantling the Democrats’ electoral machine. The word is out: America is closed to illegal immigration, and the Left is scrambling to rewrite the script.

The Violent Left’s Tesla Tantrums and Their Psychotic Rampages


By: Kevin Jackson | March 29, 2025

The Psychology of Mindless Vandalism

I’ve never keyed a car. Growing up poor teaches you the value of things—you don’t destroy what others worked for, even when furious. Sure, I’ve wanted to. Like when some smug jerk stole the parking spot I’d waited 10 minutes for, engine idling, blinker flashing like a damn lighthouse. But I didn’t. Because adults don’t throw tantrums over petty slights.

Yet today, Teslas are being keyed, torched, and firebombed by people who’ve never met the owners. These vandals aren’t reacting to personal wrongs—they’re attacking symbols. A Tesla isn’t just a car to them; it’s a stand-in for Elon Musk, “tech bros,” or capitalism itself. This isn’t anger; it’s ideological possession.

The Escalating Insanity

The crimes are getting bolder. Last week, the Department of Justice announced charges against three individuals who attacked Tesla.

  • In Salem, Oregon, a man armed with an AR-15 hurled eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership.
  • In Loveland, Colorado, a Leftist tried to burn Teslas—police found bomb-making materials in his home.
  • In Charleston, South Carolina, a man firebombed Tesla chargers, leaving profane anti-Trump notes as his manifesto.

This isn’t random hooliganism. It’s coordinated rage, fueled by a movement that glorifies destruction as “justice.”

The Left’s Hypocrisy on Violence

Democrats shriek about “right-wing extremism” while their own movement literally burns cities and glorifies murderers.

  • Summer 2020: After George Floyd’s death (a career criminal high on fentanyl), Leftists rioted in over 140 cities, causing $2 billion in damages. CNN called it “fiery but mostly peaceful protest.”
  • Luigi Mangione (December 2023): This Leftist activist gunned down an insurance executive in broad daylight. Progressive media nuanced the murder, with pundits suggesting the victim “represented healthcare greed.”
  • Portland Autonomous Zone (2022): Leftist militants seized city blocks, assaulted journalists, and firebombed federal buildings—yet the DOJ prosecuted fewer than 10% of arrestees.

Meanwhile, when conservatives disagree with a company (Target, Bud Light), we boycott. When Leftists lose an argument, they reach for a brick and a gasoline can.

The Psychological Playbook

Why do they do it? Science has answers:

  1. Displaced Aggression (Dollard et al., 1939)
    • They’re mad at “the system,” but since they can’t burn down capitalism, they torch Teslas instead.
  2. Moral Disengagement (Bandura, 1999)
    • They tell themselves: “Elon is a Nazi!” or “This is for the planet!” to justify arson.
  3. Deindividuation (Festinger et al., 1952)
    • In mobs (or online echo chambers), they lose all shame. “Everyone’s doing it—why shouldn’t I?”
  4. Ideological Possession (Hoffer, 1951)
    • They’re not thinking—they’re believing. Tesla = evil, so destroying it = holy.

This Isn’t Normal Crime—It’s Political Warfare

Random car keying’s? Annoying. Organized firebombings? Domestic terrorism. Biden’s DOJ treated January 6 protesters like Al-Qaeda but yawns as Leftists literally make bombs. The media to this day commits to the lie of J6 but expresses little outrage to the domestic terrorists torching Tesla dealerships.

If this were MAGA fans torching Priuses, CNN would demand martial law. But since it’s their side? Mostly crickets.

And what if it escalates to direct attacks on people driving Teslas?

The Left’s Cult of Destruction

This isn’t about cars. It’s about what happens when ideology replaces morality—when people are trained to see violence as virtuous. The Tesla vandals aren’t rebels. They’re brainwashed foot soldiers in a movement that rewards destruction.

And until the FBI starts treating them like the terrorists they are, it’ll only get worse.

Greg Gutfeld on Attacks on Teslas: Democrats Don’t Realize the Only Thing They’re Burning Down is ‘Their F**ked Up Party’ (VIDEO)

Mike LaChance – The Gateway Pundit – March 22, 2025

During a recent monologue on this show, Greg Gutfeld addressed the leftist attacks on Tesla cars, owners and dealerships.
Gutfeld suggests that the attacks demonstrate that the left never really cared about climate change, which certainly seems accurate.
Greg goes on to say that in the end, these attacks are going to hurt the Democrats more than they hurt Elon Musk.
“Why is it whenever Dems get excited they egg on destruction? And what burns is the very thing they claim to champion. Post George Floyd, it was minority businesses, a billion dollars worth, and here it’s electric cars, the holy grail in their divine crusade to save the planet.” READ MORE

In Calling for Axing the Electoral College, Tim Walz Tells Swing State Voters to Get Lost


By: Shawn Fleetwood | October 09, 2024

Read more at https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/09/in-calling-for-axing-the-electoral-college-tim-walz-tells-swing-state-voters-to-get-lost/

Tim Walz speaking at a campaign rally.

As if supporting the chemical and surgical mutilation of children, murder of unborn babies until birth, and censorship of speech he dislikes wasn’t radical enough, Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz is now backing another extreme Democrat policy: abolishing the Electoral College.

Speaking at a campaign fundraiser in Democrat-run California on Tuesday, the Minnesota governor endorsed getting rid of the system used to elect American presidents since the republic was created.

“All of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need, we need national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in,” Walz reportedly said before listing competitive areas in toss-up states he clearly would rather not campaign in.

It didn’t take long for the Harris-Walz campaign to tell their buddies at anti-truth CNN that this is just another time the governor “misspoke.” An anonymous campaign staffer claimed, the outlet says, that “Walz’s call for eliminating the Electoral College is not an official campaign position.”

OK, so who is running this campaign? The actual Democrat candidates whose names are on the 2024 ballot, or the unnamed staffers who keep claiming without evidence that neither of their top candidates backs the radical policies both have publicly endorsed.

While Walz is certainly known for lying his way through politics, one thing neither he nor Harris have been shy about is their support for the most extreme positions adopted by today’s Democrat Party. That brings us back to leftists’ war against the Electoral College. Walz is not alone in wishing to eliminate this presidential election system that protects minority rights and prevents the United States from becoming a straight mobocracy. During her 2020 presidential run, Harris also said she was “open to the discussion” about getting rid of the Electoral College. Many Democrat-led states have signed onto the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would “guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.”

The purpose of the Electoral College is to stave off what James Madison called the “tyranny of the majority.” The system gives voters in rural, lesser-populated states a voice in presidential elections by limiting higher-populated states’ ability to solely determine their outcomes. That was also the original design of the U.S. Senate, and without such protections for smaller states, the U.S. Constitution would never have been ratified. That means without constitutional protections for lower-population states, there would be no United States at all.

As with many of America’s institutions, Democrats loathe the Electoral College because it deprives them of the unbridled power to silence all opposition. There’s no need to waste time campaigning to the rubes in “flyover country” if they can juice turnout in Democrat-heavy cities and states instead.

Walz’s fundraiser remarks are an outward display of this disdain. Democrats claim they’re fighting for the “forgotten” man and woman, all the while working to deprive millions of Americans of having a say in the policies that control their lives.

I have had these thoughts for a while hoping someone else more eloquent would say the same thing. If that has happened, I apologize for this drivel.

First of all, I wish those life forms that arrived from the planet Moron would board up and go back to their universe and leave us the hell alone. It’s moronic to take 10’s of thousands jobs away just because you want to go “green”. Even the least of all morons will agree that you don’t shut down one industry while you develop another.

These life forms have never started a business, hired workers and maintained a payroll. As a results they have these “pie-in-the-sky” ideas that are Pollyanna, and lack the concern for the American people and the lives they are building.

Need more proof they are from the planet Moron? If you really do understand the middle class and the lives, they build based on the income they earn, then you never insult them telling them to go to work in the Solar market when you don’t have any idea what those jobs, where available, are actually paying. Such stinking thinking is the result of Socialistic stinking thinking. Only pretend you care and let them eat cake.

Based on the results of the last four years it has become obvious to me that we need to fire all the Morons from the Planet Moron, and the human life forms that have had their brains eaten by the life forms Moron, then ship them back to planet Moron. Then hire only businesspeople who have started businesses, maintained a payroll, and have demonstrated common sense in their business practices. ALL LAWYER TYPES NEED NOT APPLY.

Second. Once the Morons have left, then we can stop the MOB RULE. Let us be very honest here. The Leftist have developed a MOB RULE mentality that drives every aspect of their rule. At times it is outright intimidation: DO WHAT WE WANT OR WE WILL HURT THIS CITY, THE INNOCENT BUSINESS OWNERS AND WHOEVER GETS IN OUR WAY. It works, because they always get away with it and no one ever goes to jail and then to prison.

Other times they advance toward holding entire cities hostage until they get what they want, what verdict they want, the election outcome they want or any other thing they desire, but know they cannot obtain by legislative, or other normal means.

Mob Rule implies the actions of “the mob”. Operating just inside the law to obtain their sordid gains. The Left is very aware they cannot win any more elections unless it’s by mob rule because their message is no longer of any relevance.

Have we reached the point where the “bully” has won and cannot be defeated? Are we as a nation going to be ruled by these mobs, or are we going to get our freedom back? Can it be done without bloodshed? Anyone praying that way?

Please give me your perspective, ideas, prayers, or any comments you would like to add to the conversation.

Who are you siding with on this one — the women who want Trump’s campaign manager fired or those who are defending his actions? Some of the names on this list might shock you. Check it out…

It is stunning — Lewandowski has not had a trial and these women have convicted him.  We have a judicial system in this country not mob rule.

As an aside, I have tried many, many, many criminal cases and I will tell you this: there is reasonable doubt in this one.  This is a very easy defense case.  Don’t believe me? Ask any lawyer.

And now look what these women have done to their own work covering the campaigns!  These women reporters may want to pull themselves off the Presidential campaign coverage since they have obviously shown their bias.   They need to ask themselves – can they be fair in all their Presidential campaign coverage based on this?  (Greta Wire)

America’s universities are supposed to be places where students can get an education. The vast majority of students want that. Some, however, do not. They want a “safe space” where their strange ideas about society can be aired without criticism, and where they can unilaterally punish other students for failing to toe the mass line. These student activists want blood.

At Yale University, last week, a number of members of the Black Student Alliance physically surrounded an administrator and berated him for standing up for free speech and are now demanding his resignation. Caught on camera, one can easily see how dangerous the situation was.free speech

In another example, the president of the University of Missouri, Tim Wolfe, has resigned. His resignation comes after more than 30 members of the football team threatened not to play unless he was forced out. Their claim was that, in unspecified ways, Wolfe failed to eradicate “structural racism” on campus.

These situations have much in common, and the story is becoming a familiar one.

mob rule tyrannyFirst, both situations involve student activists disrupting education, allegedly on behalf of education. At Yale, the activists claimed that allowing free discourse and debate and challenging their assumptions threatened the “safe space” they thought Yale was.

At Mizzou, activists claimed that failing to deal with “structural racism” was harming their education. Both groups of students listed not specific harms, but rather vague interests in feeling good at their university.

Second, both situations involve administrators being asked to clamp down on the free expression of other students. At Yale, students were upset that Yale administrators were not clamping down on Halloween costumes. At Mizzou, students wanted more unspecified action against perceived racism on campus.

Third, both situations involve menacing groups of students that come very close to physical violence. At Yale, for example, students physically encircled the administrator, shouted him down, and got very close to him in a threatening manner. At Mizzou, students physically surrounded the car of Wolfe and demanded he exit the vehicle into the mob.

This pattern is becoming more prevalent on American campuses. In the name of education, education is being disrupted by intolerant student activists, harming the experience for everyone else. At my alma mater, New York University Law School, a small cadre of students is complaining about Halloween decorations that included a man hanging from a noose, because such a decoration was “harmful suicide imagery.”

These students, complaining about harmless decorations at an optional fall party, are attempting to assert disruptive political control over all aspects of educational life. If one accepted all of the claims and agreed with the political aims of the student activists, one might think it advisable to close such unrepentantly bigoted universities down.

A more moderate response by university officials, however, would be to take their job as educators seriously. If a student seeks to disrupt the safety or education of another student, punish the disruptor. If that were to happen, colleges would once again become “safe spaces” for free thought and expression.

This piece has been updated to state that Jonathan L. Butler’s hunger strike was for 7 days.

Missouri’s Lesson: the Campus Wars Are about Power, Not Justice

The battle to erase history moves to New Orleans


waving flagPosted at 8:31 am on August 15, 2015 by Jazz Shaw

Did you really think they were going to stop with the Confederate Battle Flag?

Forget flags, kids. Now we’re going to tear down statues. And we’re not talking about statues which popped up during the civil rights movement in the sixties here… these are more than a century old. There are four statues at the St. Charles Avenue circle in New Orleans which are now going to be torn down if activists have their way. (I was stationed there in the early 70s and have been by the circle many times. It’s a beautiful display.) But Bobby Jindal is trying to figure out if there’s a way to stop it.

As a committee of city government called Thursday for taking down four controversial statues that celebrate Confederate officials and a white supremacist group’s violent fight against a biracial state government during Reconstruction, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s office said it is looking into whether he can use the power of his office to keep the monuments in place.

The monuments, including the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee atop the column at a St. Charles Avenue traffic circle, should be taken down under an ordinance that allows the City Council to remove public statues that celebrate racist ideologies or are likely to be sites of violent protest, the Historic District Landmarks Commission decided after about an hour of sometimes heated testimony.

The HDLC’s recommendation, approved by an 11-1 vote, now heads to the City Council. Later Thursday, the Human Relations Commission held a similar hearing on the fate of the monuments and was expected to issue its own recommendation.Delusional Mental Illness Gibberish

New Orleans apparently has a law on the books which allows the Historic District Landmarks Commission to ban landmarks and displays which, cause of deathcelebrate racist ideologies or are likely to be sites of violent protest.” That’s a pretty convenient way to design a law if you happen to be in the Social Justice business because all you need to do is stage one or two violent protests and pretty much anything you choose can meet the criteria. The removal of the monuments is expected to cost more than a million dollars. Can Jindal step in and stop the process? That seems to be a big question mark since it’s a matter of local jurisdiction. Don’t be terribly surprised if the activists are successful and hand the bill for the deconstruction to the taxpayers, though.Social Justice

CNN was interviewing some folks on both sides of the question this morning and found several who were also calling for the removal of the fleur de lis from flags and public displays as well. This was has been knocking around ever since the Confederate Battle Flag question was raised and the Daily Caller covered it over a month ago.

“As an African I find it painful, and I think people whose ancestors were enslaved here may feel it even harder than I do as an African,” said slave historian Dr. Ibrahima Seck to WWLTV.

He connects the usage of the fleur de lis, to “code noir,” or black code, which was adopted in Louisiana in 1724, and used to govern to state’s slave population.Mob Rule

So now the fleur is racist? (Apparently everything from the 1860s and before is racist, so… yes.) That’s going to be an interesting battle for the SJW to take up, since the fleur was specific to the previously French held territories and had nothing to do with the civil war in any measurable fashion. It also shows up all over the state and would have to be removed from the helmets of the New Orleans Saints, among many, many other places.

People seeking attention and having too much time on their hands can get up to all manner of mischief and that seems to be the case here. But that doesn’t mean it’s not going to work. It’s the Social Justice Warriors’ world now and you’re just living in it.

The police ‘instant replay’


waving flagHoppy's Commentary Hoppy’s Commentary | June 11, 2015

Instant replay has become invaluable in sports. It greatly improves the ability of game officials to get the call right. The inconvenience of the delay is offset by the advantages of applying the rules accurately and fairly. Instant replay also benefits from a controlled environment of perfect camera angles, definitive rules and expert reviewers.

The latest application of instant replay and, as a result, instant analysis, is police work. The country watched the phone-shot video multiple times of the police responding to teenagers fighting at a pool party in McKinney, Texas. Attention focused on Officer Eric Casebolt, who shoved a 14-year-old girl to the ground and pulled his gun. Police Chief Greg Conley said Casebolt’s actions were “indefensible” and that the officer had resigned.

We’ll agree with the chief on this and defer to his judgment. However it’s worth noting what did not happen at the chaotic scene; the officer didn’t shoot anyone or even fire his weapon and no one was injured. There are suggestions of racism—the officer is white and the teenage victim is black—but there is conflicting evidence as to what role, if any, race played in the police actions.

But the larger question is this: Why is this a national story worthy of several days of headline coverage? There are a couple of reasons:

  • First, there is compelling video. The fact that people are watching drives the agenda in a competitive environment.
  • Second, it fits the current storyline that “the police” are out of control.
  • Third, the race card can be played easily.Picture2

We have a real-life instant replay where news consumers are likely to make their own judgments about the decisions made by the police and others seen in the video.

WVLY’s Howard Monroe told me on “Talkline” Wednesday he believes this is a good thing because it exposed the actions of an overzealous officer and serves as a warning to other police of what not to do.  But Fox News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt offered on the same program that subjecting more behavior to such intense national scrutiny will have unintended consequences. “Here’s your dystopian fantasy for the future; it’s all on camera. Everything is recorded and you better do everything perfectly because if you do it wrong, you won’t get a chance to even things out.” And that, Stirewalt suggests, will lead to “cultural paralysis” nobody will do anything. That may be hyperbolic, but there is already evidence the intense scrutiny of police actions is leading to police inaction.Picture4

CNN interviewed two Baltimore police who spoke anonymously about police simply reacting to events instead of being pro-active because they’re afraid of making a mistake. “Even if you have a reasonable suspicion, nine out of 10 times that officer is going to keep on driving,” one officer said.

Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Heather MacDonald wrote in the Wall Street Journal recently about the “Ferguson effect.” Violent crime is rising rapidly in major cities across the country as police disengage and the criminal element feels more empowered.

In sports, the instant replay resets the game back within the parameter of the rules. In police work the instant play can also be beneficial when it provides an accurate account of a serious event. However, if the McKinney, Texas, video is an example of where news coverage of the police is headed, where every action caught on video is subject to nationwide scrutiny, then the law enforcement game is going to change completely.Civil Race Both freedom combo 2
