“Captain Obvious? Your Promotion To Admiral Came Through”
Study shows that “racial justice” protests that include “Anti”-Fa are at least 18 times more likely to end up in violence than protests where they didn’t show up. And no, the same does not hold true for “right wing“ groups: They continued on to question whether the right-wing groups were the real source of the…

I’m Old Enough…
…To remember when “insurrections against civil government” or a bad thing. That’s “Anti”-Fa, projecting their emblem onto the wall of the Multnomah County courthouse in Portland. It is literally no less objectionable than projecting a swastika, by the way. The emblem is directly descended from that of the German communist party’s version of the Brownshirts.…

Unlike “Resiliency Director” Katie Knuth…
…Minneapolis’s PR firm is going be earning its pay over this next one-to-fifty years. “Protesters” took to blocking off streets in the Uptown area over the weekend – leading to an incident where someone drove into the crowd, killing one woman. Which led a crowd to block off Lake Street yet again. And it wasn’t…

Just Another Man Of Peace
Winston Smith, the man killed last week in Uptown, was apparently already “at war” with the police: Smith’s violent resistance to arrest may have been motivated by his belief that he was engaged in a “war” on cops. For years leading up to his death, Smith made statements across social media platforms vowing to shoot…

Let’s see how easily our resident legal scholars handle a first-year law school exam question.: Criminal Procedure quiz, essay portion: A man is accused of committing a crime in Minneapolis. The prosecuting attorney spends a year tainting the jury…

Rumor Of War
The Chauvin trial wrapped up yesterday. As this is written, the jury is deliberating. But well into last week, Saint Paul was strapping in. Saint Paul is smoking ’em if they got ’em. The Midway Menards hasn’t yet piled stacks of plywood in front of the store – which is the “smoke ’em if you…

The press “reports” on Maxine Waters’ weekend trip to Brooklyn Center: Did they cover everything? Miss anything? Like…the incitement to violence? From the party (and media) that seems to think that there was no political violence in this country before (or apparently after) January 6? UPDATE/BUMP: Oh, yeah – like Lisa Bender and Philippe Cunningham,…

This Is A Sincere Question…
…for any DFLers that happen to be reading. Yesterday, on the one hand, DFL rep Jennifer McEwen, sounding as if she were nearly in tearms, chided her GOP colleagues for attacking Maxine Waters, who spent her weekend telling Demcorats to riot if they didn’t get the verdict they wanted in the Chauvin trial… Right after…

Some Animals…
This was Keith Ellison, the other night in Brooklyn Center: So we have: Minnesota’s top “law enforcement officer” Out after the curfew his political class imposed Telling (the right) people to go ahead and flout the curfew I’m going to need to find all these examples of Ellison’s perfidy and collect ’em all in one…

Enough
Watching what’s going on now, I’ve had just about enough of two responses: “It’s just property” Let’s say you’ve worked hard, and spent $40,000 on a car. Since the average median income is about $40,000, that’s a year out of your life (your math may vary; If you make $100,000 a year, imagine you bought…
