I am fully caught up reading, with only limited episodes of nausea as I have become inured to the Strib nonsense through repeated exposure. As you might imagine, the final catchup on papers from late December and early January isn’t much different from what I reported before. The Strib was shocked that Walz was forced to stop his re-election campaign due to the fraud and spend a lot of editorial effort moaning about what a wonderful leader he has been and what a loss to the state his going will be. Not much reporting on how much money was stolen from taxpayers on his watch, consistent with the Strib’s during a blind eye to the fraud.
Constant disparagement of federal law enforcement efforts and lionization of violent and obstructionist protests. Story after story about how wonderful illegal immigrants (their unlawful status is of course never referred to) are and not a word about those being arrested or detained, who are all criminals in the sense of being here illegally but most have criminal records both here and from the native countries. Just the kind of people Little Timmy wants as “neighbors”. And every section of the paper has to chime in to spread the lies, from sports to entertainment. The Strib has no interest in probing the intersection of illegal immigration, fraud against government programs, vote fraud benefiting Dems or campaign contributions from those committing the fraud. That is the real big story.
So I am not going to waste time responding to every lying story about ICE. You know the truth. Meanwhile a huge number of Minneapolis police officers are applying under the state’s new fraud-riddled medical leave program; as many as 10% or more of the total force, which is already severely under-staffed. So criminals in Minneapolis will have even freer reign to murder, rape, assault and rob. Other state news includes multiple business closings, especially restaurants and an ongoing loss of jobs. A teen was killed in North Minneapolis when a bullet came into his house; these kinds of random murders are common in Minneapolis.
Middle-income families in Minnesota are suffering from affordability issues, but not a mention that the cost of government is the fastest growing cost. The Minneapolis city council has gone even further extreme, radical, far-left so the quality of life in that city will decline even further. The Minneapolis public schools have another huge deficit, they should just shut down, since no child is learning anything but whacked ideology there. Water and other utility costs are soaring, due to stupid policies.
And on the national front, as usual all Trump bashing all the time. Renaming the Department of Defense will cost a lot of money. Trump is destroying the environment and underming expensive and unreliable renewable energy. Jerome Powell is a hero for resisting Trump. (I will note that Powell has done a good job and going after him is one of Trump’s dumber self-defeating moves.)
