Many years ago, I learned that under the American model of governance, Congress (the representative of the people) enacted legislation; the executive branch implemented the legislation; and the Supreme Court became involved, in rare instances, at the back end of the process. However, this model has, in a sense, been [...]
St. Paul- At a Capitol rally today, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Senator Amy Koch, Representative Paul Kohls, Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton, Deputy Chairman Michael Brodkorb and energized grassroots activists rallied [...]
Rather than let the market work its magic, Congress feels that it needs to craft legislation that supposedly will help increase the supply of primary care doctors.
A handful of Democratic senators are pushing to change pending health-care legislation so that it would help increase the country's stock of primary-care doctors, heeding [...]
From the Des Moines Register on Dec. 1, 2009:
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to rule this week whether more ethanol can go into the gasoline used for everything from automobiles to boats and snowblowers. But that doesn't mean higher-proof gasoline is headed for service stations any time soon. [...]

Taxin’ Tarryl Clark is holding another out of district event tonight. This evening, it will be held in Minneapolis which is squarely in the 5th District.
Obviously Tarryl Clark feels much more comfortable with big city liberals than the voters of the Sixth Congressional District.
[...]Quin Hillyer warns Republicans to "beware of overconfidence":
Yes, Barack Obama's poll numbers are down. Yes, the Democratic Congress is vastly unpopular, and leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid more unpopular still. Yes, the "generic ballot" test for Congress has Republicans in the lead. Yes, the measures of' [...]
Previously, the Cook Political Report had the First Congressional District as Solid Democrat now rates the race as Likely Democrat. This is an important move as we get closer to the 2010 election. Tim Walz had been seen as surely to win re-election by national pundits, but now that [...]
If you were a Congressman, these numbers would make you tremble: Scott Rasmussen finds that an astonishing 71 percent of voters describe themselves as angry at the current policies of the federal government. That's up five percent since September. A plurality of 46 percent say they are "very angry" [...]
As I noted yesterday, ACORN caught a break from the Department of Justice when DOJ decided, based on a strained reading of the applicable statute, that the Obama administration can lawfully pay ACORN for services provided under contracts signed before Congress banned the government from providing money to [...]
The Holder Justice Department has concluded that the Obama administration can lawfully pay Acorn for services provided under contracts signed before Congress banned the government from providing money to the group. Here is the Office of Legal Counsel memo reaching this conclusion.
OLC analysis is tortured. Congress [...]
Charles Krauthammer explains why the Senate and House health care reform bills should be "killed" and why Congress should opt instead for "targeted measures that attack the inefficiencies of the current system one by one -- tort reform, interstate purchasing and taxing employee benefits."
Krauthammer's analysis is fully persuasive.' [...]
Hunger relief advocates came to Congress last week and painted a bleak picture of a country struggling to meet an increased need for food assistance at a time of high unemployment. Soup kitchen workers are seeing new faces in line and charities are taking more calls for help.
I wasn’t aware of this previously, but according to the recovery.gov website that tracks the spending of stimulus funds, Minnesota has a 00th Congressional District. I’m not aware that anyone else has declared their candidacy so I am. I’m officially running for US Representative for Minnesota’s 00th Congressional District. I’d [...]
The Congressional Budget Office had predicted that the recession would start to recover by the second half of 2009 without the government doing anything. Well we’ve spent all this money, it’s fair to see how it’s working out.
Per statistics from the Department of Labor
Well hell, I’d feel [...]
I really don’t even know where to begin to describe just how insane one has to be nowadays to be in Congress. I know people like to portray some who believe in freedom and limited government as crazy, but this crap is straight out of the economic suicide handbook (aka [...]
Even congressional Democrats are disgusted with the Obama administration's phony accounting of what the stimulus plan supposedly is accomplishing. Earlier this week, House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey lambasted the government's flawed data purporting to show that $160 billion in stimulus spending has created or saved at least 640,000 jobs.
