Be Wary of the DFL Mini Donut Stand at the MN State Fair

Leave a comment
10th Ward Rural Ramsey DFL Donut Booth is located to the Left of the Ramp into the Grandstand.

Be Wary of the DFL Mini-Donut Stand at the MN State Fair

The DFL Mini-Donut Stand is at Coordinates 44°58’51.5″N 93°10’25.0″W

If you buy products from this mini-donut stand you will be unknowingly (or knowingly if you are a DFLer) funding DFL Candidates through the Best Fair Foods Political Action Committee, what had been the 10th Ward Rural Ramsey County Political Committee, through 2020 when it was terminated to start under the new name.

Some Recent DFL recipients since Redistricting in 2022:

  • Senate District 66 DFL in 2022 received $6300. The 3 SD 66 DFL candidates that year were Rep Athena Hollins, Chris “Leigh” Finke, and Clare Oumou Verbeten. The latter 2 were running for the first time for office.
  • Mostly DFL Party Units for SD 36, 39, 40, 44, 65 and 66

So it is up to you to be wary of this location.  With every purchase there you are helping DFLers defeat Republicans in Minnesota.

 

Retired Career Politician, Phyllis Kahn, DFL stands in front of the “Grandstand” Mini-Donuts.

Now these folks make a lot of money at the state fair from mini-donuts that would make the health conscious zealots cringe.  The booth is not marked as the DFL Mini Donut Stand,  there is no disclaimer on the booth as to where the money of this group goes to.

There ought to be a law that requires them to reveal who they are and where the money goes.

Rep Randy Jessup & Sen Roger Chamberlain tried to Make a Law

Almost every session of the MN State Legislature, there is a bill that Republicans put together that requires groups that raise money at the State Fair or other public events to show on a visible sign where the money goes to.  It isn’t making their operation illegal, but they want the customers to have all the information about the vendor before they make a purchase.

During the 2017 Session former Rep Randy Jessup of 42A & former Sen Roger Chamberlain SD 38 had made similar bills that were added to the Omnibus bill.  They were not signed into law by then DFL Governor Mark Dayton.

Rep Jessup did say there is a limit on the number of bags of donuts one can purchase–4 bags.  Any more than 4 you purchase they will have to make a record of it being a contribution.

They do tell their volunteers who work there to not wear any sort of political statements on their clothes, hats, or even buttons.

This article is just to identify where the DFL Mini-Donut Stand is. This post is by permission from the saintpaulrepublicans.us website. If you don’t want to give money to the DFL to defeat Republican candidates then you can find another Donut Stand, or to Sweet Martha’s Cookies which is nearby.  If you are a DFLer and you want to fundraise then that is up to you to.  It is just unethical of a party sympathizer to not be open about where their excess money goes. — admin

#ProLifeSunday Happy Aunts & Uncles Day July 13, 2025

Leave a comment

One of the most important lessons to learn from naturalized citizens is how they respect their extended families.  It seems at some point Americans stopped including their extended families in on family get togethers.  Conservatives have kept a family orientated platform and that’s why we’re adding extra family holidays to the ones that are highly commercialized such at Mothers & Fathers Days as well as the often forgotten Grandparents Day.

Since Families are the cornerstone of the Pro Life Movement we have called these Family holidays as #ProLifeSundays.

Aunts & Uncles are very important to the rearing of children. They sometimes do babysitting chores, or they add a bit of understanding to a child’s life their parents are too busy to instruct.

It is important to show your nephews and nieces their parents were once in their shoes.  It’s a loving bridge between generations.

We’ve noticed we only celebrate Moms, Dads, and Grandparents but not anyone else in the Family.  So we’ve added Brothers, Sisters & Cousins Day in August, and we’ve added Friends & Colleagues Day in October.

If we Americans want to have a rich fulfilling life we need to reclaim the extended family.  We admire immigrants who honor the extended family and 1st or 2nd generation families who still give homage and respect to their elders.

So go call your Aunts & Uncles up today and let them know how much they mean to you.

Happy Aunts & Uncles Day!

Next Month #ProLifeSunday Brothers Sisters & Cousins Day August 10th

43rd Annual Hmong International Freedom Festival June 28-29th, GOP Booth #144

Leave a comment

Republican Booth is #144 Near Gate 2 on the Northeast corner of the area the Hmong International Freedom Festival (HIFF) J4 is at. See the Map below. Gate 2 is near the Eastbound 3A Bus Stop for the Como Park Aquatic Center.  Just west of Como-Horton & Lexington Intersection.

J4 as it is known to Hmong as a time to celebrate freedom with family, food, and sports.

It’s that time of year again, the first weekend prior to July 4th, when the Hmong people celebrate freedom at McMurray Fields of St Paul, MN (1151 Jessamine Ave W).  Hmong International Freedom Festival J4 Street Map  Make a note that there are 2 intersections of Como Avenue & Lexington Ave as seen in the Street Map link. The northern one has Como Avenue on the west side of the intersection and Horton Avenue on the east side. The southern intersection has Como Avenue on the east side of the intersection and Wynne Ave on the western side of the intersection with Lexington. So if you tell someone you’ll meet them at Como & Lexington, tell them which one.

The Republican Booth is in the Northeast part of this map (upper right, in the light green area) near the intersection of Como & Lexington Ave nearest to Gate 2, #144
Circled in Red is Booth 144. On the Top of the page is West Como which across from Horton Ave. Gate 2 is near the Eastbound Aquatic Center Bus stop (3A Bus)
McMurray Field looking North from Jessamine Ave W to Como Avenue at the top of the photo. Como Regional Park Pool just north of the Tournament Fields on Wynne Avenue. Lexington Avenue is to the East of the Fields.  The Metro Transit 3A Bus travels along Como Avenue, and the 83 Bus travels north and south along Lexington Avenue.

The Hmong People who have settled here in the St Paul MN area really know what Freedom feels like.  General Vang Pao brought the Hmong people here from the refugee camps in Southeast Asia after the end of the Vietnam War.

The event will provide ample spaces for various vendors that are not just local community members, but from all over the world.

Booths will be set up for food, traditional and culture items, educational and informational and other general merchandise. Most of the festival goers are relatives and friends who travel a short distance of a couple of miles to across the ocean from former homeland in Asia. Others are spectators who come to cheer on one another as well as taking part in one of the competitive sporting venues in flag football (both men and women’s), Sepak Takraw (Kato), Soccer (men/women’s), tuj lub (top spinning), volleyball (men/women’s) and other fun and games for all ages, and physical ability.
