Rock County resident and traveling union goon Dale Moerke, a field staff member for Minnesota's West Area Council/Red River Valley, just shared a screen shot from Jeff Backer for MN House's Facebook page:

Bluestem's readers may recall that Backer scolds incumbent State Representative Jay McNamar for being "Metro" Jay.
Minnesota House District 12A is located on the South and North Dakota borders, in the Minnesota side headwaters of both the Minnesota and Red Rivers, thus putting citizens at risk of Iranian warship attack from either direction.
However, given that a series of locks and dams might stymie the warships ascent up the Mississippi, while the hydroelectical dam at Granite Falls might make for one heckova portage on the Minnesota, Bluestem thinks that the threat would have to steam south on the Red River of the North and so, global warming not withstanding, the peaceful residents of The Bump are probably safe until spring.
We hope that Mr. Backer can connect with our friend Natalie Warren, who traveled the river to its mouth. Perhaps her firm, Wild River Academy, can procure a naval contract to patrol the channel.
Those who have be following the progress of Mr. Backer's quest for endorsement by district Republicans know that he has gained many Facebook followers in Bangkok and Istanbul in the past week or so, while condemning Hollywood over an Oscar nomination kerfuffle. Between threats from Hollywood and the Iranian Navy, it's a wonder the good citizens of the district sleep at all.
