www.commsolutionsmn.com- There is so much going on in the world right now. We're watching a possible regime change happen in Iran, unless the mullahs' massacre of protestors causes them to back down. The United States military waltzed into Venezuela to arrest the drug-running, pretend president, Nicholas Maduro, that lost the election and refused to give up power. President Trump has been making moves to reduce the increasing influence of China in our hemisphere, and seems to be three steps ahead of everyone else as he frees Venezuela to make its own decisions and lines up strategic defense through a deal in Greenland. Might the future of America still be saved? Minneapolis is on fire again. Did we learn our lessons to handle it better this time? Of course not! The left distorts and omits facts to present a one-sided story. The press is painting a story that ICE came out of nowhere to kidnap every migrant they can find, going into businesses, schools, and churches. None of that is true. Because of the billions of dollars of fraud in the Somali daycare center scheme, the federal government increased their numbers to investigate, and the same dregs of the city attacked law enforcement, causing the unfortunate death of Renee Good. This caused Antifa members to crawl out from every dark corner of the nation to whip people into a frenzy, attacking federal police and storming into a church to violate the FACE act. Not surprisingly, the Democratic Socialists, Revolutionary Communists, the unions, and the D(ictator) F(raud) L(awlessness) Party keep pressing forward, even in the face of contradictory evidence. They keep trying to protect the murderers, child rapists, and drug traffickers. Why? We're tired of seeing our state in the news. Can we take MN back and return to normal already?

www.commsolutionsmn.com- So, what does President Trump have to do to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The guy has a hand in ending most of the world's major conflicts: Pakistan and India, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Armenia and Azerbaijan... and the recent ceasefire achieved between Israel and the Palestinians. It's so blatant, that the winner of the award gave a head nod to President Trump. Don't worry, the system isn't rigged. A lot of this has been due to President Trump's ability to strike deals to give America a leg up in the Artificial Intelligence race. Big corporations have joined with the government to squeeze all of us that aren't at the top. There's some odd year elections happening this year and we're not happy about it. The turnout always stinks and a small group of activists can always win the day. There's two governor's races on the ballot. Jack Citerelli is within striking distance against Sherill, who is a damaged candidate. Winsome Sears should beat Abigail Spannberger, who has been caught up in the whole Jay Jones controversy, but that ain't looking too good either. Mamdani seems to have a lock on the New York mayor's race, and that's not good for the economic capital of the United States. He's illegally taken overseas money for his campaign and is a loud and proud Democratic Socialist which has a very radical agenda. He wants to reduce the police force, freeze rent, and have free public transportation and grocery stores. He's a disaster within moments of holding control of America's largest city. In Minneapolis, Omar Fateh is trying to become "Little Mamdani" as it's mayor. He's also with the DSA and holds the same views. This will give the Minneapolis City Council carte blanche to pass most any radical policy it wants to. If Minneapolis goes communist, the repercussions will reverberate throughout the suburbs as well. The time to prepare is now, because there's a pretty good chance he wins, as Omar Fateh has rigged the Ranked Choice voting system with lesser candidates to block Mayor Frey from getting votes. We really need to dump RCV. The moral of the story is that we need to get rid of RCV and odd year elections. In the meantime, you'd better run to the hills.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- We've been doing this for a long time. I know that the words "conspiracy theory" has been getting thrown around a lot... but some of them are actual conspiracies. If the government is capable of using false pretenses to get us into war (i.e. Gulf of Tonkin), then what won't they do? We see that the Deep State has done all sorts of things that we are only finding out about. We still don't know anything about what happened in Butler, PA. People want to downplay the workings of the Deep State in our government, but look at how all of these players that were in The Center for the American Experiment got into George W Bush's administration and had a response ready to go when 9/11 happened. Our State Department moved into the coup business and Obama's administration helped to orchestrate overthrows in Ukraine, the Arab Spring, Benghazi... it needs to change. The government has also put their influence onto business and education. The college loan business has manipulated the system to make college available to almost everyone... then taught them a bunch of useless information, so long as they can get their hands on all of this money. Then they got in with manufacturing, meat production, and all sorts of other businesses, sending American companies overseas for cheap labor or modifying their output to meet government demand, raking in the government subsidies. They have got involved in the medical industry, deincentivising innovation, and manipulating health insurance. This has caused certain sicknesses to be treated instead of cured and brought on a mentality of whether to treat patients or manage their decline. We have to get government completely out of everything.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- With so many things going up in flames (figuratively and literally) these days, we start the show with some ideas to torch the sport of baseball's customs. We need to ease into the bad news today. In a case of the shifting political landscape in America, Vivek Ramaswami won an endorsement from the Teamster's Union in his bid to become Ohio's governor. Who's next... Pennsylvania? Things aren't looking good for the Dems in the near future and we're too happy to lay it out for you. Kamala Harris' new book is proof positive, as she single-handedly tears down most every Democrat that wants to run for something in the next 3 years. As we predicted months ago, Tim Walz has announced that he is running for a third term as governor of Minnesota. Can he really win? He is wildly unpopular in outstate Minnesota. National trends are toward the Republicans as we watch the unraveling of our society. The streets are less safe. There are billions of dollars of fraud being uncovered under the watch of the Walz administration. We went from a huge surplus to a huge deficit. As predicted, Ranked Choice Voting is ruining our electoral system. The Democratic Socialist candidate in Minneapolis is running a mayoral slate to take second and third votes away from the current mayor. We've got a government shutdown, but for how long. The Dems refuse to negotiate unless health insurance for illegals is included. The Republicans are winning the PR battle for now... but we'll see what happens. Things are looking good for the Republicans in the midterms. We'll see if that makes any difference. Lastly, we're in a war over speech. Even some "conservatives" have begun to talk about hate speech. We can never go down that road. Speech has to remain free... likewise, if you're Jimmy Kimmel, you're not being censored. You're just being fake news.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- As we record this on September 11th, we recall the events of 9/11/2001. It's still fresh in our memories, despite that it's fading from the consciousness of too many. How do we keep this from happening again if we forget? Our conversation takes a turn towards the unfortunate news from September 10th, 2025. We lost a brother in Charlie Kirk at the hands of another leftist with an agenda. We take time to remember Charlie and his impact on our nation. Charlie went to college campuses to challenge liberal indoctrination, because someone had to do it. He changed the thought process of so many young men that felt like they were the villain in woke world. They were tired of it and Charlie gave them a way out. He was up front about his faith, his beliefs, and what was important in life. Now, in the wake of his death, thousands are returning to church and promising to stand and carry Charlie's vision. People on the left are celebrating and justifying his death. It's abhorrent. These wokesters are dangerous and something has to change fast. We need to stand against the darkness that seems to be enveloping us and be a source of light in our world. Let us join together to rekindle faith, stare evil in the face, and take back our culture.

www.commsolutionsmn.com-  Late night tv used to be a staple for people from across America. There were moments that we all saw and talked about the next day. Today, no one watches any of it. It's become one-sided, hateful, partisan, and just bad. It looks like there is no saving it either. People aren't watching network tv, let alone late night. Here we are down the road from a crazy man shooting up a Minneapolis Catholic church/school, killing 2 kids. There are things we know because of the YouTube videos from the murderer. The left is in this insane state, where it victimizes the suspects, almost heroizing them. Psychotropic drugs are destroying minds and personalities while we keep pushing for more. Someone is clearly on the wrong side. Why is this even contested? We're used to watching the Republicans turn gold into lead, but the Democrats have found themselves in the peculiar position of being incredibly awful. Whether they are cozying up to socialists, lionizing criminals, protecting the COVID vaccine, or defending the policies that most people hate, they are standing for every lousy and destructive thing they can conjure up. The party is hemorrhaging voters and can't raise money. Blue collar unions are courting Republicans as Dems support industry killing policies. Blue states also face losing electoral votes, as red states look to gain them. We can't get ahead of ourselves, but things are about to get interesting.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Our former president, Joe Biden, has had more and more questions rising to the surface about his use of the autopen during his term. He supposedly authorized hundreds of pardons, but they were all signed with the autopen. Did President Biden even authorize these pardons? We may never know. Congress is trying to gather more information about his medical state and his Doctor stonewalled the committee. We can't get any answers on anything. This is what leads to conspiracy theories. We can see that nothing is adding up and everyone acts as though we're the crazy ones. Enough already. The Big Beautiful Bill has finally passed. There were plenty of necessary things that had to get done. The Trump tax cuts were made permanent. The border got some much-needed help to become even more solid, despite already record low immigration numbers. They passed the no tax on tips, overtime, social security, and car loans. The bill does not sunset the provisions of the Green New Deal fast enough. It raises the debt ceiling and proposes new spending without cuts to offset it. The DOGE cuts were close on the heels, but thankfully have passed in the wake of the BBB. The Genius Act is also right on the heels of the BBB, creating a stable coin (a crypto currency that is linked to our dollar). We have to make sure that the Fed isn't able to program the currency to manage the economy and our ability to buy and sell.

www.commsolutionsmn.com - It's been a wild news cycle. Look at what has happened here in Minnesota with the shooting of Rep Melissa Hortman, Senator John Hoffman and their spouses. The level of angst and violence is out of control. It's got to stop. Our condolences go out to the Hoffmans and the familiy of the Hortmans. The mob mentality is reaching dangerous levels and it's hitting too close to home. We still don't know much about the criminal. We still don't understand how this isn't murder one with all of the planning that went into it? Let's speak up and stop the violence. As we remark in the podcast, the Israel/Iran situation escalated really quickly. We know what happened already, but we give our thoughts leading up to the (spoiler alert) eventual bombing of Iran by the United States. What is the thinking behind the attacks? Why are so many conservatives breaking left on supporting Israel? What will happen in the aftermath of all of this chaos? Also, we see the left (again) raising up all of their well-funded, astroturf riots with cars burning in Los Angeles and the "No Kings" protests across the nations. How can we say they are astroturf? Because there is a money trail coming from D.C., our states, and our cities to non-profit groups like CHIRLA (who are at the head of the LA riots) to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars ($450 million just from the Dept of Homeland Security). This is frightening, because we're funding color revolutions that are designed to overthrow the entire western way of life. You'd better get on top of this now.

www.commsolutionsmn.com-  Karine Jean Pierre, Joe Biden's former Press Secretary, just left the Democrat Party. Is this a change of heart? Nope. She just wanted to come to the aid of her former boss and name names in her new book. The media and everyone else turned a blind eye as she lied and gave one poor answer after another. Now they are coming for her. There's been little to no self reflection on the left side of the aisle. Where can they go from here. The House passed the Big, Beautiful Bill, and it's laying with the Senate. It's not a great bill, but is it an ok first step? There are some Republicans in the Senate that refuse to back it, so will it pass? The Trump tax cuts are in it, but there's not a lot of spending cuts. Some of the DOGE cuts are in it, but not all of them. There's some Green New Deal cuts, but not a lot. Whay aren't Trump's Executive Orders, like abolishing the Dept of Education being codified into law? Instead, we're looking at raising the debt ceiling which is dangerous in our current economic situation. Who is going to buy our debt if we keep taking on more? We have one shot and had better do the right thing to get the economy moving. We are also watching a rise in antisemitism once again. The old hatreds are coming back as students are raging on campuses. We are see violence being accepted as Jews are being shot and fire-bombed  in the street. There is so much ignorance and it seems to fuel the aggression against Jewish people. Hamas steals the aid that comes into Gaza, so that they can sell the food on the black market to buy weapons and dig tunnels. Yet, Israel gets all of the blame for the people having nothing. Why does this keep coming back? Why are the Jews always the target of hate? We delve into history looking for answers so that maybe we can begin to discuss some answers.

www.commsolutionsmn.com-The news is starting to come out about how ill Joe Biden was as president. The whole world could see it, even though the media was denying it. Jake Tapper might have released a book now, but where was he while Biden was still in office? We just found out that Joe Biden has prostate cancer and that it has metastacized to the bone. With as bad as it's been, he most likely had cancer for quite a while. So this begs the question: what did the people around him know and when did he know it? This isn't the first time that this has happened. Just like Jill Biden, Edith Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt kept their husbands' medical states hidden from Congress... and America. So who was more at fault- the First Lady, his advisors, or was everyone so busy trying to stay in power that they all hid the truth from us? No one is supposed to wield the President's power except the President of the United States. Who was running our country? We need answers and people need to go to prison. Use the 25th Amendment, if it's warranted, but you can't hide behind a weakened president and use the power for yourself.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- For the most part, our local media is just the worst. Our illustrious governor has been touting our increased graduation rates in the state of Minnesota and our media outlets have been singing his praises as though he is the second coming of Woodrow Wilson. The problem? They haven't done one ounce of research to find out why more people are graduating. It doesn't take much effort to find out that the graduation standards have been lowered. All it takes is a little slight of hand to fool everyone into applauding for a complete illusion. President Trump has has an historic first 100 days. The Republicans hold the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. They should just have to come in after President Trump and codify his Executive Orders into law. They have passed two things in 100 days, the Laken Riley Act and the continuing resolution. Where is Congress? They have promised President Trump a big, beautiful bill and it's still stuck in Congress. This bill won't even address Trump's "no taxes on tips" and "no taxes on overtime" campaign promises. There are a couple of bills floating around about the Gulf of America and repealing the Patriot Act, but will they ever get through committee?

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Joe Biden has recently emerged from the shadows to start his public speaking circuit, but it's as apparent as ever that he is not there. He is clearly struggling with dementia or Alzheimer's and Jill is still trotting him out instead of protecting him, all for $300,00. It's a shame and should be viewed as elderly abuse. It's time she love Joe enough to protect him. AOC and Bernie have been traipsing across the country on their "Fight Oligarchy" tour. The Democrat party is in real trouble because they really have no one that is ready to rise up and take the mantle of the party. There's a good chance it goes even further left and isolates independents and moderate Dems. Is there any question that the traditional, mainstream media is dead? We know that they consistently side with Democrats, but they leave out stories that are complimentary of President Trump and make sure to report anything that can hurt him, whether true or not. They side with illegal immigrants, to the point of wanting violent gang members and criminals to be returned to the United States. They are silent on Laken Riley and others that are killed in our streets. Journalists herald the sainthood of every trans person as actual women are being injured and dominated by male athletes that can't make it in the world of men's sports. They aren't covering the slowing in the inflation rate with drops in the price of gas, eggs, and other necessities. CNN has went from respected to a laughing stock. MSNBC is ignored by everyone, except for far leftists. Sometimes the headlines are indistinguishable from the Babylon Bee. It's just a matter of time, but without a major course correction, the media has written its own obituary, and might as well save us the public display and go fade away into the night. The age of citizen journalism is here.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It was a big week as we lost George Foreman, Kitty Dukakis, and Val Kilmer. The former and the latter gave us so much in the realm of entertainment and it's sad to see them go. President Trump has been lighting it up this week. He enacted the tariffs, had the stock market tank, over 75 nations rushed to negotiate, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause. China is now in the spotlight as it is trying to fight back, but doesn't have the financial strength to hold out. We'll see how long it lasts. Tim Walz took our $18 billion surplus to a projected $6 billion deficit. That is some of the worst financial mismanagement ever. Not one to learn a lesson, Walz just released his budget, and boy, is it a doozy. He also wants to expand the sales tax to some services that currently don't have one (like having your taxes done). He also wants to increase a healthcare surcharge on HMOs. There is also an anti-fraud provision included. In an effort to "fully fund education" he's cutting funding of some things, like text books, to non-public schools. He's not willing to cut the tax for our seniors on social security. We're one of a handful of states that still do that. Despite the cost for Southwest Rail doubling, it's still full steam ahead. These omnibus bills need to be done. Why won't the Republicans stand up and stop all of this spending? MN statutes say that bills should be single-issue, but they don't write them that way and the courts won't uphold the law.  

www.commsolutionsmn.com- President Trump is finally releasing the JFK files to the world, but we still know nothing about Thomas Matthew Crooks. There was a recent article that hints that FBI is reporting that he may have had an accomplice. The article asserts that there could have been a man on the inside to help Crooks, purposefully reducing President Trump's security, or that the whole thing was a government op. Our election would have been thrown into chaos, had things worked out differently. Lawfare against President Trump isn't anything new, but the left is doubling down on this tactic to stop the Trump agenda. There are currently over 130 cases that have been filed, and some injunctions from district federal judges (as if they had jurisdiction). Temporary Protective Status (TPS) was granted to Haitians and Venezuelans to stay in our country for a specific time. The Trump administration is trying to revoke the TPS of these groups, after the former head of the NSA, Alexander Mayorkas, extending the policy. The courts are trying to say that the Kristi Noem and the new administration does not have the right to govern the way they wish. The AFL/CIO sued the Trump administration to stop the voluntary buyouts of federal employees. Judge George O'Toole sided with the Trump administration, but only because they were not union employees, so they had no standing. This will allow for other lawsuits to be filed. There were cases to allow a biological female, who identified as a man, to go to a male prison and to keep transgender soldiers in the military. The Dems are trying to keep criminals that are here illegally from going to Guantanamo Bay or to the new maximum-security prison in El Salvador. There is also a challenge to birthright citizenship, due to the meaning of the 14th amendment. President Trump also signed an Executive Order that aims to clean up federal elections, including a provision that requires Voter ID and the left is beside itself, filing court cases faster than a rabbit in fox country. How will all of this work out? Who will emerge victorious? Will congress ever come and make President Trump's changes permanent in law? Where are they already? Let us know how you feel about all this lawfare!

www.commsolutionsmn.com- When Biden was president, the press used to complain that they didn't have any access to the leader of the free world. You'd think that they'd celebrate the openness and transparency of Trump's administration, where he and his various secretaries seem to live in front of the camera. Yet, all they do is lie, cheat, and complain. The recent clean, continuing resolution to fund the government has passed through congress and been signed by the President. Why was it so hard to get it done? Why were the Democrats so bent on shutting down the government? They have blamed the Republicans on every past threat of a shutdown, but were trying to blame this shutdown on the GOP as well... even though they were the ones pushing the bill to keep it open. The House of Representative (until now) has been 67 Republicans to 66 Democrats. The Republicans have submitted a number of bills to the House, and have had a majority, but due to MN law, they need 68 votes no matter what, which is more than a simple majority. The Democrats are beholden to their Queer Caucus. If it doesn't further the goals of this group, per Leigh Finke and Brion Curran, then the DFL is too scared to move forward. Despite its popularity, not one Dem voted to disallow men in women's sports. The DFL is the party of men dominating women. HF3 and HF23 are anti-fraud bills. One passed that allowed for greater audit capacity, which failed, and greater protection for whistleblowers, which passed. The bi-annual budget will be a big one to get passed. Who will blink first and give up something big to get the budget through the objections of the other party. It's not looking good for anything to get done this session and that's okay with us. Let us know what you think!
