If you are thinking, “Tim Walz can’t be that bad…”, please allow me to attempt to change your mind. My dad might be the only person on the planet that loves Minnesota as much or more than I do. He spent the first 65 years of his life living in the Polish Catholic neighborhood

This beautiful state is no longer recognizable to people that have lived here for generations. Tim Walz is not content for it to stop with Minnesota. If he is elected, I believe, he intends to ruin America and make it totally unrecognizable to all Heritage Americans.

He decided he and my mom were moving as soon as he retired. He started a countdown to retirement and moving day. Not less than a month after he retired, my parents moved to Iowa. This was single handedly the fault of Tim Walz and his policies. He ruined my home. My dad’s home.

That all changed during the George Floyd riots of 2020. My dad would call me with an update daily. He was distraught by the vandalism and the mandatory curfews. For the first time in his life, he was afraid for his safety living in Saint Paul. Then, one day, the final chip fell.

to the library to allow my mom to sleep. By the time I was 8, I had been to every library in the 7 county metro area. For vacations, we went to cities in Minnesota. We would go to the local festivals or parades. And, we always went to the local Catholic Mass on Saturday evening

such little travel outside their home state and so much love for it, as me. And, it was all because my dad passed his great love on to me. My dad would often say, “the next place I’m moving to is the ground.” And I never doubted the sincerity of that statement. He loved his home

I was really good at it, because, every alumni I called, I could say with honesty, that I had been to their hometown, and I could chat with them about the unique things in their town. When I graduated college, my pastor’s wife told me, she had never met someone so content with

and Lutheran Service on Sunday morning, before heading home. When we had school days off, my dad would take the day off work and take us on “day trips” to cities in Minnesota, two hours or less from home. In college, I worked at the alumni office to solicit alumni for donations.

I wonder if “anyone who has chosen not to be a mom” is their way of acknowledging that women who have had abortions are still mothers.

Old guy seeing me walk into Aldi with four kiddos in tow, “Four is great, eight is better! Keep up the good work!” I laughed and said, “I’ll see what I can do, we have six so far, but, I would love eight!”

I have six children, so I almost exclusively do grocery pickup orders. Choosing which podcast to expose the employee loading the groceries into the back of my twelve passenger van is my favorite part of the whole experience.
