You can imagine the usual general themes in the Strib recently–the shutdown is killing people and it is all Trump’s fault. Well it appears to be over now, so what will the new attack on the President be? Assaults on illegal immigration are still bad. Tariffs are awful. Thank God for those ideological federal court judges who make up reasons to block Trump’s actions, and boo to the Supreme Court for stopping those judges. How dare Trump try to stop illegal drugs from coming to the US and killing Americans. Great celebration over the Dem wins in the recent elections. Proves how awful and hated Trump is. I think the new line of attack will be on inflation and jobs and the economy as Dems think that is why they won. So the Strib is dutifully running stories on how Trump is losing his edge on the economy. Climate hysteria isn’t whipping up the public like it used to, and as the world’s leading climate hysterics gather in Brazil, that is a concern. We have to save the planet, whatever that means.
Locally, Minneapolis dodged a bullet. Not really, the city council is even more whacked and Mayor Frey is incompetent. Businesses and residents will continue to flee the city and its absurd property tax hikes. The only people coming to the city are illegal and legal immigrants who steal from the city and state and use immense amounts of services. The descent of Minneapolis continues apace. St. Paul elected a new mayor, we will see if she is more pragmatic. That city has been in complete decline, a basically empty downtown. The Strib essentially buries stories about the alarming recent spike in murders in Minneapolis. But on a positive note, fraud has become so prevalent in state government that even the Strib can’t ignore it.
