Yes, she’s the 23-year-old daughter of Minnesota’s lawless, incompetent, anti-First Amendment governor, whom the Democratic Party tried to inflict on the nation as a Vice-President.
Here’s what Hope, who is, ironically, hopeless, posted yesterday:
“Gun control doesn’t just save Democrats’ lives, it also saves Republican lives. You’d think we’d be at a point now where we could call for some common-sense legislation, but, I don’t know. I don’t know.
“Also here to say that political violence is never okay. Duh. That’s the difference between us and them. It’s never okay. But there’s something we can do about it…common-sense gun legislation. … We should do something about that for everybody’s sake. For everybody’s sake. Yeah, happy Tuesday. Feeling a little anxious today, but we’re gonna get through it.”
“Common sense gun control” is, as EA has noted many times, a stand-in for “Do something!” as well as “I got nuthin.” It is amazing that anyone who resorts to such non-substantive cant is ever taken seriously. Idiots like Hope can’t articulate any measures short of banning all guns and confiscating them from lawful purchasers that would stop nuts like the guy who tried to shoot up the White House Correspondents Dinner…and even that wouldn’t stop law breakers—you know, criminals— from breaking the law to get guns.
Yet how many friends and associates do we all have who might read Hope’s nonsense and mutter, “How true, how true…”?
Ethics Alarms 
I love the selective outrage. The party that tried to kill Trump 3 times, Vance at least once, shot Steve Scalise and at other Republicans, shot numerous people and did $billions in damage in Minnesota, who killed several Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota after they voted against free healthcare for illegal immigrants, shot up numerous churches, schools, etc likes to hold itself out as the victim of political violence.
I also like how ‘mass shootings’ are defined. There was an incident in my state this weekend where at least 23 people were shot. You probably haven’t heard anything about it because black lives only matter when a career criminal dies near police. Twenty three people shot in one incident and it isn’t news, but if a white man who thinks he is a woman shoots up a church, the headline will read “Woman with second cousin who voted for Trump kills Easter worshipers. Trump refuses to ban guns despite deaths.”
Hope could have just led with “I don’t know”, stopped there (leaving us with the same impression), and saved herself a bunch of useless extra words.
When I saw Walz’s face, I thought it was going to be a post about the new Minnesota state flag. Here’s an article that shows the new Minnesota state flag next to the Somali flag: The New Minnesota Flag Vs. the Somalia Flag: Are the Two Similar?
From the article: “Minnesota did change its flag to be more sensitive to its residents, but the primary reason was that the old design was seen as insensitive in its depiction of Native American communities. The old flag depicted a white man tilling land while a Native American rides a horse, and some in the Native community said that the flag depicted their erasure from the land, per CBS News.” Of course.
The article concludes with a “There’s nothing to see here:” “While it is true that there is a prominent Somali community in Minnesota, and it’s also true that the two flags bear a surface-level resemblance, there’s no reason to think one design has anything to do with another. And, even if they did resemble each other intentionally, that doesn’t mean Somali people are orchestrating some kind of conspiracy.” But it sure looks that way, don’t it?
Hilarious.
P.S. I think the answer to the question posited in the article’s headline is, “Hell yes, they do!”
I don’t particularly like the new Minnesota flag.
the Somalia comparison is kind of dumb. They have a 5-point star on a blue field. Minnesota has an 8-point star on a blue figure in the rough shape of Minnesota. Tough choice, they certainly could not have a 6-point star or the anti-zionists would have a fit.
background:
Minnesota is a Dakota word that roughly translates to “land of sky blue waters,” probably as an homage to Hamm’s beer.
the motto of the state is L’etoile du nord, Star of the North to you non-francophiles, a group that would include me, frickin’ frogs!
so, blue is appropriate on the flag and stars show up in Minnesota everywhere.
the original Timberwolves logo had one; the Lynx logo copied it; the North Stars…well, figure it out. The Twins added a four-point stat recently (not my taste). Minnesota United has the star in their logo. The new Minnesota seal has a star (I like the new seal more than I like the new flag) and the old seal had the motto on it.
so, the star itself is pure coincidence
That is not to say the old flag, which had the old seal was not racially “problematic.” It originally had the Native American riding away from the farmer. It was revised to show him not riding away but toward the farmer, I believe.
I just like to point out that the new seal covers up the genocidal history that the Left like to emphasize, while they all cheer on that very erasure.

Numbers of tips of stars notwithstanding, I think the similarities are striking. Bottom line, they’re both light blue fields with a white star in the middle. Nothing else is different. The reason for the change is irrelevant (but predictably woke). Didn’t anyone see this and anticipate people noticing? Probably not! Hah!
many have compared the new flag to a pack of Marlboro Smooth cigarettes.
that is more persuasive (and amusing)

Can we compromise? I think a common sense gun control law can be met here-
Since statistics seem to indicate up to 90% of gun violence is committed by democrats/democrat leaning individuals-
What if we confiscated 100% of guns from democrats/democrat adjacent individuals…?
Just a question, has anyone seen a news report about the 23 people shot at a party in Oklahoma last weekend? It is interesting that such a large mass shooting doesn’t seem to garner much attention. It seems to have dropped off the local news already.
Huh. I wonder what demographics of the shooter led to this lack of media interest….
https://www.newson6.com/crime/arcadia-lake-oklahoma-shooting-arrest-jaylan-davis
It seems a suspect has been arrested, from Guardian and CBS reporting. Jaylan Ahmad Davis reportedly turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Newson6 has a brief mugshot, and he appears to be a gentleman of the high-melanin persuasion. I also wonder if the news of this shooting is muted not just because of Davis’ skin color, but because of the low fatality count (only one has died, reportedly). I also believe reports said there were multiple people shooting (over 80 rounds fired, purportedly), and that it was an altercation between gangs. So the fact that both sides were armed maybe doesn’t fit the narrative the gun-control advocates are searching for.
And why are gun fights considered “mass shootings?” A “mass shooting” should be limited to situations where a lone shooter opens fire on defenseless victims. Guys “beefin'” at a party shouldn’t be included. It’s a trick to make the U.S. look as if it has a “mass shooting” crisis.
