GOP state Sen. Justin Eichorn arrested on suspicion of soliciting sex with a 16-year old girl

State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested in Bloomington on suspicion of soliciting a minor for sex.

Bloomington Police led Eichorn, 40, to believe he was talking to a 16-year old girl and then met the senator and arrested him Monday near the 8300 block of Normandale Avenue, according to a Bloomington Police Department press release.

Senate Republicans are calling for Eichorn’s resignation...

In 2021 he objected to a bill requiring Minnesota schools to teach about sexual orientations and gender identities, saying “before you know it, they’ll be reading kids ‘50 Shades of Grey.’ This discussion is better had at a more mature age.”

Eichorn was first elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2016 and works at his family’s outdoor store in Grand Rapids.

Eichorn also co-authored a bill to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness.

At least one Republican legislator has already called on Eichorn to resign — Rep. Elliot Engen, R-White Bear Township.

“Resign in disgrace. Prosecute to the fullest. Throw away the key,” Engen posted on X.

Here's my take: for every accusation they make against lgbtq folks being possibly pedo they are in reality confessing to their own crimes. see Matt Gaetz as another prominent example. So just remember this rule going forward. Every accusation made by them is a confession!

I have seen several questions regarding 18-year-olds being too immature to be in romantic relationships with older people (e. g., 18 with 24). If that age is too immature to decide to date someone older, are they mature enough to decide who our leaders are?

I'm not sure if Americans know the truth about agri-business.

Ethanol manufacturers use about 40 percent of the U. S. corn crop for ethanol and related co-products, with the majority of the ethanol being consumed in the domestic transportation fuel market.

Since the creation of the domestic market for corn ethanol after the energy crisis of the 1970s, the federal government has given away a steady stream of subsidies. Originally sold as a way to achieve energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, ethanol has been a favorite of policymakers from the Corn Belt. Ethanol producers have received favorable treatment under the tax code, tariff protection from foreign competition, a government mandate for its use, infrastructure subsidies, and more.

As a result, taxpayers have spent tens of billions of dollars over the last 40 years subsidizing the mature biofuel. Decades of subsidies have failed, however, to reduce climate risks and serve as a bridge to next-generation, non-food-based biofuels, while spurring several unintended consequences, wasting taxpayer dollars, and distorting markets.

As concerns, food, American farm subsidies have negative environmental effects. By encouraging the overproduction of certain crops, subsidies can lead to the use of more pesticides and fertilizers. Additionally, heavily subsidized corn is used to produce unhealthy processed foods which are cheaper and less nutritious which has a multiplier effect that further contribute to the obesity epidemic.

Another way in which corn subsidies raise prices is by setting minimum prices for certain crops. The government often sets a minimum price for corn that is higher than what would be considered the market price.

In effect USA Americans are subsidizing corn conglomerates AND raising the prices of corn derived products - hitting themselves in the wallet twice so huge agri-business conglomerates can rake in yet more profits.
