PACK YOUR BAGS!

Welcome to today’s Blog. Buckle up your seat belts because we are going on a vacation, uh, I mean a working trip with Jim Paine & Company. But there are some states we will not go to. I’ll explain all this and more. Let’s start off with another great article from our friends at Soupnutz.net.

Ever wonder where your some of your hard-earned tax dollars go? Turns out, they have frequent flyer miles. Mayor Jim Paine has turned “official travel” into a full-time hobby, bouncing from conferences in D.C. to networking events in fancy hotels—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Because, obviously, you can’t manage a city from City Hall. Nope! You have to do it from a conference room 1,000 miles away, preferably with a catered buffet.

Forget “Where’s Waldo?”—just follow the money. No oversight?, no accountability?, just a bottomless expense account with Jim’s signature on it. Want to find him? Check the most expensive steakhouse near a government event. Want your city actually managed? Good luck.

What can I say? Why is he always involved with something questionable? And I’m being generous here because I don’t know much about his travels. I will say this though. So many politicians get caught in these travel messes that I think Paine should have his travel expenses scrutinized for his own good. If he has no oversight the voters become suspicious, as they should be. I did try to find out a little bit about them. Here are two emails I sent to the city last year:

Subject: Mayor request

Hi Rebecca,

I was just reading online that in the last couple of weeks that the Mayor has traveled to Washington, DC and to Madison to discuss the NTEC project. I was wondering if that is true.

Thanks,

Brian

I am just following up on my request from Feb 20,2024. I have not received an answer.

SUPERIOR, Wis. (Northern News Now) - Wisconsin’s governor visited Superior to listen to how increasing costs across the board have impacted the Twin Ports.

Gov. Tony Evers held a roundtable discussion at Thirsty Pagan Brewing Monday afternoon.

Mayor Jim Paine, business owners and other community members were there.

Evers' budget proposal includes about $2 billion in tax relief for Wisconsin residents.

He hopes to lower property taxes, eliminate sales taxes on some everyday household items and cut income taxes for middle class Wisconsinites.

Evers said he learned a lot about the costs impacting Superior residents during Monday’s gathering.

“This group especially talked about all sorts of things that we need to be helpful about, but they also understood the issue about food security is really important,” Gov. Evers said.



Republicans have said Evers' budget will be dead on arrival adding they plan to write their own budget.

Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said it sounds like Democrats want to raise taxes on some and lower taxes for others while Republicans want to lower taxes for everybody.

OMG. There actually is enough money in China to make me go to that but I would want a lot of it. I can’t think of a bigger waste of my time than to go to an Evers/Paine roundtable, square table, octagon table, picnic table, folding table or any other table. I hope they had suicide prevention posters in the bar. I would rather watch a 24 hour loop of Joy Reid reruns on my TV. Could you imagine being stuck in a meeting with these two dopes? I would rather confess to a murder I didn’t commit just to get out of it. But I would have liked to be a fly on the wall when Evers said “He hopes to lower property taxes”. What an idiot. Does Evers not read the news? Oh ya, there wasn’t much reporting on the tax scandal in the fake newspapers he reads. I wonder if the people there gave Paine the stink eye after Evers said that. Awkward!

The half dead crypt-keeper Governor of Wisconsin had this to say recently:

WI governor wants to remove gendered words ‘mother’ or ‘father’ from law

Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers introduced a proposal to change gender-specific terms, like “mother,” in Wisconsin law. He included the recommendation in his budget for 2025-2027.

• The Republican Governors Association criticized the proposal, calling it a left-wing agenda, and emphasizing the importance of preserving the term “mother” as a unique and honored identity.
• Similar legislation has been passed in Massachusetts, with a law protecting LGBTQ+ families and promoting gender-neutral language in legal contexts

• As Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, D, finalizes the state budget for the next two years, he’s introducing a proposal that doesn’t deal with finances. Instead, it focuses on changing everyday language by eliminating gender-specific terms for men and women

On Friday, Feb. 21, Evers recommended a change to Wisconsin law that would redefine common terms. Under his proposal, “mother” would be replaced with “inseminated person” in certain cases. Similarly, “wife” or “husband” would become “spouse,” and “father” would be changed to “parent.

The Republican Governors Association labeled the proposal as a left-wing agenda. Executive Director Sara Craig argues that being a mother is one of the greatest privileges and reducing motherhood to an inclusive term is offensive.

Known as Senate Bill 45, the proposed legislation primarily deals with state finances and appropriations for 2025 through 2027.

• However, in Section 3106, it also includes language changes. On page 1,764, the bill removes terms like “husband,” “wife,” “maternal” and “paternal.” It also continues on several other pages to propose replacing “paternity” with “parentage,” traditionally a term used to describe a father’s role.

The debate over gendered language has already gained traction across the country. Some advocates want to replace “breastfeeding” with “chestfeeding,” while opponents argue for maintaining the traditional terms.

Similar legislation in other states

• On Jan. 1, a Massachusetts law went into effect that protects LGBTQ+ families and those formed through reproductive assistance. This law guarantees legal equality for all families, regardless of marital status, gender identity or sexual orientation. It also mandates the exclusion of “mother” and “father” from certain legal contexts.

Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont have similar laws in place.

If I hadn’t already heard this story and you told me, I would have said your full of it. But it’s true. This story broke last Friday. The internet and all conservative TV and radio have been having a field day and it’s still going strong five days later. Evers is getting “Tampon Tim” type of coverage. So thanks for that Tony. You have thoroughly embarrassed the state of Wisconsin and that should have great impact on tourism and people and businesses that are considering moving here. The only problem is the impact will be negative. Oh, and guess who didn’t cover this story which like I said has gone viral almost everywhere and today is Wednesday:

She has been terrorizing the country and saying all kinds of crazy stuff since 2019. I could probably do about 10 or more Blogs about her. Defund the police, a strong supporter of BLM are only a couple of the destructive and “America Last” things she’s involved with. And a member of the so-called “Squad”. Anyway, I want to run two articles about her. One older and one newer. Here is the older one from 2019:

Muslim Congresswoman's District Reported to Be  'Terrorist Recruitment Capital' of US

Emily Jones 

02-18-19

FBI statistics reveal that Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, represented by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), is the terrorism recruitment capital of the United States.

According to the FBI, more Somali American men and boys from this district have joined, or have attempted to join, a foreign terror organization in the last 12 years than any other community in the US. 

"Forty-five Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined," Fox News reports. 

In 2018, a dozen more Somalis were arrested, accused of planning to leave the US to join ISIS. 

Ilhan's district is a very insular ethnic and religious community that has not fully assimilated into American society. 

"For over a decade, Islamist terror groups have been able to recruit from Minnesota. This is, in part, because Minnesota has a large Muslim population compared to other parts of the US," Robin Simcox, a terrorism and national security expert at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News.

Federal authorities say they are "highly concerned" about this district's ties to international terrorism. "We are very conscious that there may still be fertile ground for that, and that is could re-start at any time," one official told Fox. 

Recruitment for terrorism usually takes place online where jihadists criticize US counterterrorism policies, like targeted assassinations and drone strikes that sometimes kill innocent civilians. A number of these Somali terrorists have become suicide bombers while others are believed to have died on the battlefield.

Congresswoman Omar has a history of being sympathetic to Somalis terrorists.

She defended six Somalis arrested in 2015 for trying to cross into Mexico in an attempt to join ISIS in Syria. As the case moved forward in 2016, the then-state representative wrote a letter to the trial judge requesting "compassion" and a lighter sentence. 

"Such punitive measures not only lack efficacy, they inevitably create an environment in which extremism can flourish, aligning with the presupposition of terrorist recruitment," Omar wrote. "The best deterrent to fanaticism is a system of compassion."



In 2013, Omar said al-Shabab's terror attack on a Kenyan shopping mall that killed nearly 70 people and wounded 200 others, was a reaction to US "involvement in other people's affairs."

Now here is the latest article about her Feb 24, 2025:

Published February 24, 2025 

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar continues to prove she is not afraid to say very stupid things.

The liberal Democrat from Minnesota (originally from Somalia) has a long history of smearing people she doesn't agree with and even attacking American heroes who fought to save her people from a genocide.



Her last few weeks have certainly been something to behold. She attacked the American military, arguing it doesn't keep us safe, and that comment looks smart and rational when compared to her latest rant.

Ilhan Omar attacks Americans as idiots. What's something a politician should never do if they want to remain in power? Probably attack voters as morons and idiots, but that's exactly what she did during a recent interview.

"I'm at the point where it has become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is, frankly, embarrassing. Not just in Congress, but as Americans. And the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get a Trump presidency again," Omar said during an interview with Medhi Hasan.



That's right, folks. Ilhan Omar thinks the fact Donald Trump is President again is a sign that Americans are idiots.

When politicians talk crap about 50% of the country and I happen to be part of that 50%, I’m inclined to take my Dineros and spend them in a state that don’t vote for idiots liker her. Comprende? Sorry Minnesota, no tour for you this year.

The always nauseating,”half asleep” looking and lo-energy poor excuse of a Senator from Minnesota who voted 98.5% of the time with Joe Biden picked a fight with Elon Musk this week. Yes you read that right. One of the most useless and insignificant US senators is picking a fight with the worlds richest man and some would say one of the smartest men in the world. And she called him a “Dick”. Here is the story.

Sen. Tina Smith calls Elon Musk a 'd***' over his latest federal worker firing threat

Musk warned federal workers to document their weekly accomplishments or resign. 



Feb 23, 2025

Having recently announced that her current term in Congress will be her last, Sen. Tina Smith (DFL) is pulling no punches when it comes to Elon Musk's controversial actions in the Trump Administration. 

On Friday, Musk tweeted that all federal employees must respond to an email requesting they document their accomplishments for the past week, with failure to respond "taken as a resignation":

It's the latest move in Musk's controversial crackdown on the size of the federal workforce, which is being carried out through his newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. 

In response to the Friday announcement, Sen. Smith referred to Musk's actions as "the ultimate dick boss move," before adding: "Except he isn't even the boss, he's just a dick."

"I bet a lot of people have had an experience like this with a bad boss – there’s an email in your inbox on Saturday night saying, 'Prove to me your worthiness by Monday or else,'" Smith continued in a followup tweet. "I'm on the side of the workers, not the billionaire asshole bosses"

I find it rich for somebody like Tina “Dicklet” Smith to be so upset with anybody trying to clean up the government especially after her party has been guilty for a large part of it. They have held the power for 12 of the past 16 years. On the other hand she has worked for three of the biggest “Dicks” in the past several years. In other words she knows a lot about “Dicks”. Here they are:

Then shortly after that, he was having a birthday party at his parents house. So we thought, “Wow that’s great, let’s go and give him the list for his birthday”. And that’s just what we did. It didn’t go well. He did not like it and proceeded to rip up the list. We were a bit shocked but after a few seconds we broke out into laughter. Mission accomplished.

And all of this lead to now over 50 years of nicknames. Thousands of them. I’ve met tons of people over my life and nicknames have come in handy. Just the other day my wife asked me if I remembered this guy and she gave me his name and I said no. Then she gave me his nickname and I knew exactly who he was. Happens all the time. And now you know how it all started.

Thanks again for reading, Brian
