Minnesota Nasty

Original Article

Posted By: jimincalif, 2/19/2021 10:08:13 AM

Crime, homeless encampments, riots, crime, loopy left-wing government, crime, litter, violent protests, imperious left-wing activists seeing off mainstream liberal Democrats, boarded-up shops downtown, a vicious social-media-driven politics of personal destruction, crime, crime, and crime, to say nothing of the crime — today’s Minneapolis is where Minnesota Nice turns into Minnesota Nasty. Let’s talk about the crime first. Everybody does.

Comments:

Disturbing. While Minnesota politics are different, much of this is happening in California too.

There is some semblance of inside dining , but astronomical prices are the norm .Food again an activity .OH , but at home adult beverage consumption is all time high ..watch that get more taxes from our criminal gov’t .But we are doing our best using that liquid buffer against the brutish cityopolis & it’s criminal insanity.

We're seeing a once in a lifetime shift in populations from cities that just 5 years ago were attracting new residents and downtown living. The exodus from California and cities like Portland and Seattle to places like Boise, Spokane, Cheyenne, the resort areas of Utah and Colorado, and as far as the Smokies. Most (if not all) running from the decline that they themselves voted in. Even in Denver, people are moving out of the city into the surrounding suburbs changing voting patterns in formerly conservative areas like Douglas County. The "ultra-progressive" politicians from Boulder now hold the Governor's office, the Speaker of the House, and Senate President. I'm not optimistic.

Sadly, many of those transplants (not all, but most) continue to vote and support the same politicians that created the demise of their former locales and extend it to their new homes. I've always said Texas needs a border wall. Around its northern, eastern, and western boundaries.

We live in a suburb immediately North of Seattle. (we share borders). So far our city council hasn't succumbed to the madness of the Seattle city council but soon will. Last year some idiot put up a BLM sign on city hall but it was taken down after a few weeks. Seattleites are moving into my town. This week Zillow raised the value of my 3 bedroom mid-century rambler by $22,000, in one week. We should probably sell before the JoHo administration brings crime by allowing every criminal alien to move to every city, town and village in the country but that's the problem, where does on move too.

Minnesota is now the perfect place to dump illegal immigrants, more Somalis and maybe even the American prisoners that idiot democrats let out on the streets so they wouldn't catch the COVID. Every country needs a good garbage dump.

"Let us not fool ourselves - without Christianity, without Christian education, without the principles of Christ inculcated into young life, we are simply rearing pagans." --- Peter Marshall "The choice before us is plain, Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as American Citizens. The time is come, it now is, when we ought to hear about the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. America's future depends upon Her accepting and demonstrating God's Government." --- Peter Marshall

Many years ago, when I first heard a national radio host say, “Liberalism is a metal disease”, I laughed it off as a ratings ploy. But since then, over time, I have come to believe that truer words have never been spoken. Liberalism will act and spread just the same way a disease does. Once it infects a host city or state, it will consume all its resources, as it provides no productive benefit to the host. Eventually this will destroy the host by causing a collapse of the financial systems and social structures, leaving it in ruins. Then just like a disease, it will migrate to a healthy host city or state, where it will start its destructive cycle all over, again, until the new host is destroyed. We see this playing out all over this country as many of the previous commentors have pointed out.

Truth is, Collectivists are masterful at herding sheep. Conservatives, not so much. It takes courage to be an Individualist. Unfortunately the sheep don't understand that they are better cared for by large groups of Individualists with biblical values, promoting sound social policies that begin with the protection of the nuclear family.

Minnesota nice is a farce, I was shocked at how rude many people were when I moved from Iowa to the Rochester area in the late '90s--for an engineering job. There are nice people, but there's something in the water up here. Kevin seems to think that the police officer present when Floyd died of an overdose needs to be charged with murder. This is insane. Anyway, elections in MN have been rigged since at least the early 2000's, it's not going to get any nicer here. Considering a move to South Dakota or Texas, maybe even back to Iowa.

The insane, vicious Demonrats destroy another city. Fortunately, I have never liked cities, avoided them my whole life, never could wrap my head around why someone thought living in an apartment in a city could even remotely compare to living in suburbia or, especially on 10 or more acres in the country. I just shrug and go on. They are destroying themselves, their homes and the place that they live and I don't really care.

The real test will be the Minnesota State Fair which draws huge crowds to an urban area. Security is generally lax and the inner-city rioters could have a field day if they decide to get violent.

Two weeks ago, I warned my readers (on Substack of course) that Democrats were preparing to arrest President Trump on bogus charges to stop him from winning the 2024 election. As I wrote in that article on July 27th: “Democrats were hoping to dent Trump’s popularity with the January 6th Unselect Committee televised hearings but nobody’s watching it (outside Washington) and nobody cares. Since that gambit has failed, Democrats seem to think that arresting President Trump on bogus charges and trying him in a kangaroo court is their only remaining option.”
The key to understanding our ruling elites 6 replies
Posted by jimincalif 7/13/2022 5:52:11 PM Post Reply
In the United States, Congress passes laws but exempts its members from the laws' reach. Presidents sign "executive orders" that are nowhere mentioned in the Constitution. Courts often make policy and change or obstruct laws by "interpreting" the Constitution to fit the policy preferences of judges. The laws are often applied unequally depending on the person violating them. The families of our governing elites often enrich themselves and acquire wealth and privileges on that basis alone. During the COVID-19 pandemic, governors, mayors, and other members of the ruling class imposed restrictions that they arrogantly ignored.

The Left prides itself on being the side of logic, reason, and science, painting anyone who disagrees with them as irrational and denying the truths revealed by science. Yet every day their actions seem to belie these claims as they promote positions that are contrary to fact, or attempt actions that have no possibility of working. If they are so logical and science-based, these things raise the question of why?

The California Department of Justice has threatened to hold the leaders of Black Lives Matter personally liable if they fail to fork over information about the charity's $60 million bankroll within the next 60 days, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner. The move came just days after a Washington Examiner investigation found that BLM has had no known leader in charge of its millions since its co-founder resigned in May and that the Los Angeles address it lists on its tax forms is wrong.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden made an urgent plea Thursday for Congress to extend a nationwide moratorium on evictions, arguing a Supreme Court ruling had left him unable to act on his own. The eviction freeze, which is set to expire on Saturday, was put in place last September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect Americans who have fallen behind on their rent during the coronavirus pandemic.

In the end, almost everyone got what they deserved. The president’s Achilles’ heel—relying on the wrong people to advance his political interests—led to his final ouster this week. Donald Trump ran out of runway and instead of preparing for a soft landing, he pumped the gas. It’s hard to blame him: His court challenges had been thwarted by the very judges he elevated to the federal bench, his hodgepodge legal team whirred in defeat, and Republican senators he helped elect quickly turned on him. As usual, the president was right:

Historians recognize some U.S. presidential elections as realignment elections — elections that fundamentally alter and reconfigure the various voting constituencies of our major political parties. The 2016 presidential election was one such realignment election. The preexisting blue-red partisan split was, at its core, deeply artificial: Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party had merely been operating along slightly different points within a broader mutually shared neoliberal paradigm.

In Sacramento, the west lawn of the state capitol building was filled with protesters, with thousands more marching along the sidewalk surrounding the capitol grounds. Additional thousands driving their cars and honking their horns created three hours of total gridlock on the streets that loop around the capitol. Noteworthy protests have taken place in San Diego, Encinitas, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Paso Robles, Santa Rosa, and even tiny Lakeport on the shores of Clear Lake. There is no end in sight.

The attorneys for President Donald Trump are now spilling the beans on some of the issues with the FBI raid of his home and the search warrant. Trump attorney Alina Habba appeared on Fox News with Jesse Watters. She said that they had been cooperating with the National Archives over the records and that this was completely “unconstitutional.” “Our country should be terrified—I am terrified,” Habba exclaimed. She said the FBI went in when he wasn’t even there, and then told his attorneys to leave, that they couldn’t watch or be there. “That doesn’t sound good to me,” she declared.Habba said the agents came in wearing backpacks

On Monday evening, the FBI took the unprecedented step of raiding the home of former President Donald Trump. What were they looking for? Astonishingly, what is being leaked to the media is that they were after documents that possibly violated the Presidential Records Act. Far from their promises of proving some grand conspiracy involving January 6th, it appears the Democrats, using the power of the nation’s federal law enforcement apparatus, are trying to take Donald Trump out with selective enforcement of provisions that are normally handled in a civil, not criminal manner. Where have we seen that before? None of this is a coincidence, and none of it is justified.

After all that, the safe at Mar-a-Lago was empty. It was pried open by FBI agents who swarmed the premises under the pretense that they were looking for documents marked for preservation by the National Archives. Does anyone believe that?

If you think that, please, get some crack cocaine, White Claws, and wallow in total ignorance in an observation tank while high as a kite. This line about the documents is politburo stuff, except we’re not the Soviet Union. The FBI was there to find Russian collusion material they know doesn’t exist.
