I have decided that this will be my last entry on my blog. Over the last year I have found blogging to be, while very interesting, a hobby that I'm not overly suited for.
I have the utmost respect for national blogs like Power Line Blog and Hot Air. They provide a real and important [...]
I would like to thank all of my readers that sent me get well wishes during my recent illness. I must admit that I'm very impressed with the care and excellent attention I received at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center since I was admitted the day after Easter. The doctor stated [...]
On Easter Sunday I came down with a severe case of Ecoli which spread to my blood system.I was hospitalized Monday thru Friday of last week. My condition has not improved and I'm headed back to the hospital for I don't know how long. I'll try to update this blog [...]
I've received word from the Carrie Ruud campaign that she received a phone call today from former KSTP AM 1500 Talk Show host Dave Thompson that he is planning to enter the Minnesota GOP Chairman race. Thompson lost his talk show job yesterday.
Not sure what grassroots background he has within [...]
There is a rumor floating around that MN GOP Chair candidate Carrie Ruud has dropped out of the race. Gee, I wonder who started that one? Could it be the Tony Sutton campaign is doing some wishful hoping?
Let me make this clear to all, Carrie Ruud has assured me that [...]
A number of Democratic blogs are whipping themselves into a frenzy over whether two term Governor Tim Pawlenty will announce he is going to run for a third term. It seems in the past, prior to winning the Governor's office that Pawlenty favored a two term limit on the office.
I have posted [...]
I attended a large gun show on Saturday at the Saint Paul Fair Grounds. I was amazed at the crowd, about 5,000 strong. More note worthy was the amount of semi automatic (assault style) rifles that were being sold.
I spoke to vendor's who said they can't get enough to [...]
My good friend and fellow Minnesota Vets For Freedom member Dave Thul has the Letter of the Day in the Star Tribune (here). This is why many in the military have been concerned about President Barack Hussein Obama. Our concerns are panning out. Too bad, I wanted to give the new POTUS every benefit of [...]
Just when I have given up all hope for the Minnesota GOP a glimmer of hope & change has appeared! I just got off the telephone with my good friend and former Minnesota State Senator Carrie Ruud who is taking up the challenge to oppose Tony Sutton for MN Party [...]
If anyone needs further proof of the destruction of the Minnesota GOP all you had to do was attend O'Gara's in Saint Paul last week and listen to the Republican Party Candidate Forum that was held. Although I wasn't there I'm told by many that Deputy Chair Dorothy Fleming was [...]
Months ago I wrote about my suspicions about two anonymous web-logs: Change the Minnesota GOP and Dump Brodkorb (here) . Both blogs were quick to attack my post. Let's look at them today.
First we will review Change the Minnesota GOP. I said I suspected that the site was set up by the Tony Sutton [...]

While I was away in Florida it appears that major events happened in regards to the Minnesota Republican Party (MN GOP). I received numerous voice mails and e-mails while I was away informing me that Tony Sutton had announced he will run for MN GOP Chairman and Brandon Sawalich announced [...]
My wife and I just returned from six days in Fort Myers, FL. We attended three Minnesota Twins Spring Training games. Temperatures ranged mostly in the high 70's and low 80's while we were there. This is the third year in a row that we have visited Twins Spring Training, and I must admit [...]
The Dow is down 200 points and to 6860. Does anyone else get the feeling that the market doesn't like Obama's "Hope & Change?"
As I have said before, when you "cry fear" enough, it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy. Japan went through 9 stimulus packages in the 1990's before it finally [...]
A editorial cartoon was published in today's St. Paul Pioneer Press Editorial Page that has angered many veterans. I contacted the Editorial Editor and he is publishing my criticism of the cartoon.
Since the Pioneer Press doesn't publish the cartoon on their web site I can't show it to you. Basically, the cartoon titled [...]
I received many phone and e-mails today by veterans angry over a editorial cartoon that was published on today's St. Paul Pioneer Press Editorial Page. I contacted the Editorial Editor and he is publishing my criticism of the cartoon tomorrow.
Since the Pioneer Press didn't publish the cartoon on their web site, I had to retrieve it [...]
Since his inauguration President Barack Hussein Obama has watched as the Dow has plunged 2,500 points to a close yesterday that we haven't seen since 1997. Now don't change your investments on my account, but I think that the nose dive will continue until we hit about a 6,000 Dow. [...]
The stock market is down again today nearly 300 points and about a minus 2,000 points since Barack Hussein Obama became the President. Could it be that the "capitalists" at the stock market are voting against "socialism?" So much for "Change We Can Believe In!"
[...]In today's Star Tribune is a story (here) about the frustration of the Minnesota Vikings' over not getting $700 million in public funding for a new $954 million stadium. It seems that Viking's Vice President for Public Affairs and Stadium Development, Lester Bagley, has taken a shot at Governor Tim Pawlenty for not being meaningfully [...]
My wife and I attended a great sendoff for the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division last night at the Roy Williams Auditorium in St. Paul. The division headquarters, some 1,200+ soldiers, is deploying for a year in Iraq. The sendoff was sponsored by Serving Our Troops a group of St. Paul restaurants and [...]
Discovering your past is like putting a puzzle together. I have just sent 4 days in northern Indiana and Chicago researching my Grandfather Drago Tesanovich's (mothers side) history. He was born in 1891 and immigrated in 1910 from the Bosnia-Herzegovina region of what was at the time the Austrian Hungary empire.
His older brother and a [...]
I have been watching DFL blogs as they speculate who the MN GOP will run for Governor in 2010? Zack at MNPublius.com has stated he believes that Governor Tim Pawlenty will not run. His reasoning is plausible, but his conclusion is wrong. Here is why.
It is my assessment that the MN [...]
At 4:20 pm this afternoon I received confirmation from Senator Rod Grams that he has decided not to run for the Chairmanship of the Minnesota Republican Party.
[...]The problem with anonymous weblogs is the cowards that post on them or create them. I envision that most of them were neglected or shunned by the parents, were un-liked by their peers, had sand kicked in their face at school, and figured this is the only way that they can take out [...]
Moments ago the Republican National Committee has selected Michael Steele on the sixth ballet to be their new Chairman. Steele is an outsider, not a member of the RNC. Steel defeated Katon Dawson, the South Carolina GOP Party Chairman. You can read more about what Michael Steele's leadership will mean [...]
Have you heard about the 819 + billion dollar job stimulus package that Democrats in Congress is pushing? How about 335 million for education and prevention of STD (sexual transmitted disease). Now what exactly will that stimulate?
Oh, how about 4.19 billion for ACORN. We have to keep those community activists busy! [...]
The Drudge Report has a article (here) that says that Iran will have enough materials to build a atom bomb by years end. I have written before that Iran with a nuke will change the world political dynamics.
Israel is about to hold elections following the incursion into Gaza against Hamas, an Iranian surrogate [...]
President Barack Hussein Obama has signed two new policies that will force the US automobile industry to produce more gas efficient and greenhouse friendly vehicles. At a time when the auto industry is on the mat and begging for a government handout, they get kicked while they are down by [...]
On January 20, 2005, my wife and I attended the second inauguration of President George W. Bush. Later that evening we attended one of the Inaugural Balls. Much to my delight I discovered that also within the hotel hosting our ball was the Salute To Heroes, Medal Of Honor Recipients Presidential Ball. Later [...]
Last night I attended the Minnesota Conservative Counties Movement (MCCM) meeting in Hutchinson, MN. I was amazed that of the nearly 50 people attending that about 20 people were from the Twin Cities area. The meeting was worth the nearly 2 hour drive from the metro area.
Craig Bishop, a candidate for Congressional District 7 [...]
Today the world sang "kumbiya" as Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office as America's 44th President. As I've stated before I wish him good health, good judgment and the wisdom to govern from the middle.
What I heard in his inaugural address was: "We the people must accept personal responsibility, [...]
My 30 years of service to our country in the US Army was under both Democrat and Republican presidents. In the military you don't get to choose what orders you follow. I sincerely wish our new president good health, good judgment and support from all Americans.
During my years of service [...]
I have received numerous calls and e-mails asking who I will support for the leadership of the Minnesota Republican Party now that I have announced that I will not be a candidate. In my opinion the following individuals, of those who have announced, will have the best chance to turn [...]
A good friend of mine sent me this article by Steven Emerson on how political correctness is letting the terrorists win!
A little of why political correctness plays right to the Islamic fundamentalist agenda.
Jewish World Review Dec. 3, 2008 / 6 Kislev 5769
Yes, the terrorists are winning

What has changed since Barack Hussein Obama became the President elect? Well, not much. The election of the candidate that was so loved by the world was to reestablish the status of America in the global community. Obama seems to have decided to usher in the third Clinton administration with [...]
Can anyone recognize this individual that was beaten by the anarchists after he attended our rally on September 1st to counter the march by the anti-war crowd on the RNC? If you can identify him please contact me immediately. It appears that the police have identified those who are attacking [...]
