I was stunned, living in Minnesota and all.

There is always the US Supreme Court, I guess.

The SS Minnesota is headed full speed for a very large iceberg and the liberals there will never know what hit them.

They’re that clueless.

The fallout from the $15 minimum wage madness in Minneapolis is already being seen. Many restaurants in Minneapolis are closing or moving to the nearby suburbs where there is a more reasonable minimum wage
