My security guy recommended this router / wifi combo for people who don't want to mess with pfsense - GL.iNet GL-MT6000 - you can actually program it with open source if you want. Bought it for a client - works well

What I'm talking about - the "Science of Reading" hoax perpetrated by MPR & Emily Hanford - a campaign of lies played out nationally

So how does that judge's decision to deny a Special Master look now? Are the legislators gonna file again?

And neither will ever tell you just WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WAR ON MINNESOTA! It's the REPUBLICAN PARTY! This is totally indisputable, but unmentionable by media, and even Democrats for some reason! It's political and media malpractice writ large

THERE'S A REASON FOR THIS: One Republican billionaire family basically owns both - Glen Taylor owns the StarTribune - and said he'd turn it into a Republican protection racket when he bought it. And MPR pays his daughter $725k of your contributions to run the place: www.edhivemn.com/personprofil...

Klobuchar can talk a big game on the Sunday shows but she is not on our side. All she's done is normalize Trump.

One of the strongest Republican candidates dropped out of the race last week because he knows no Republicans can win in Minnesota given everything happening with ICE. A turkey sandwich could win as long as it has DFL by its name.
C'mon man. Which other Democrat is a shoo in as Minnesota's next Governor?

Klobuchar was the only Dem to speak at Trump's second inauguration. She spoke of the peaceful transfer of power, even after Trump attempted a self-coup to stop exactly that.

She pivots to talking about grocery prices during Trump's ongoing attempts at turning this country fascist. She's not good.

I'm a techie so I don't expect people to emulate me, but I have a separate router / firewall that is basically a PC that runs pfsense - open source firewall software, then I just use access points for wifi

I had extensive dealings with CL over the years - and they literally tried to cheat me at every chance, including when I sent the modem/router back they claimed I hadn't sent it! Of course I was on to them and saved the shipping receipt.
