Minneapolis Dems endorse socialist Omar Fateh for mayor over incumbent Jacob Frey
Excerpt:
Minneapolis Democrats endorsed Sen. Omar Fateh in this year’s mayoral race over incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey during a Saturday convention.
“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed [sic] candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us,” said Fateh, a democratic socialist who is serving his second term in the Minnesota Senate.
The 35-year-old has been described as the “Minneapolis Mamdani,” a reference to Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who won a stunning victory in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City earlier this year.
After Mamdani’s victory in June, the Minneapolis chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America declared Fateh’s mayoral run to be the next battlefront in advancing their socialist agenda.
Fateh’s record includes an unsuccessful bill to make Minnesota a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants and support for a 2021 charter amendment to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new “department of public safety.”

Minneapolis has always prided itself as being the ‘Little Apple” a mini NYC. Well they are going over the cliff, like NYC, if this Muslim wins. They like their Swedish ancestors are wanting to learn the hard way it seems.
China Launches the Construction of Tibet Dam, the World’s Largest Hydropower Project
https://constructionreviewonline.com/news/china-launches-the-construction-of-tibet-dam-the-worlds-largest-hydropower-project/
***********************************************
Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday announced the launch of a mega dam project on the Tibetan Plateau, The Tibet Dam. This dam project is expected to be the world’s largest hydroelectric facility.
The massive project is located in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. However, this ambitious dam project has raised concerns regarding water supply and environmental impact downstream in India and Bangladesh.
Project Factsheet
Location: it is located in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. This is near the “Great Bend” in Medog County, Nyingchi (Linzhi) Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. This location is strategically close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India.
Capacity:it is exotic to have a capacity of up to 60 Gigawatts (GW). This is similar to an annual capacity of 300 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Cost: approximately more than $137 billion
Developer/operator: Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina). They will be in partnership with the Tibet Autonomous Region government. Also, a new company, China Yajiang Group, has been unveiled to oversee the project.
Funding: The project will be primarily funded by the Chinese government. Also, it will have significant investment from state-owned entities like PowerChina and the newly established China Yajiang Group.
Groundbreaking Ceremony
Li attended the dam’s groundbreaking ceremony that was held in Nyingchi. Nyingchi is a southeastern city in the Tibet autonomous region as reported by state news agency Xinhua on Saturday.
The Yarlung Tsangpo becomes the Brahmaputra River once it leaves Tibet and flows south into India’s Arunachal Pradesh and Assam states. Finally, the river flows into Bangladesh.
Official Announcement of the Project
Additionally, Beijing first made an announcement on the plans for the dam in 2020 under its five-year plan. This was part of a broader strategy by China to exploit the hydropower potential of the Tibetan Plateau. Furthermore, the plan was given a greenlight last December.
The Tibet Dam project is said to be the largest of its kind in the world. The dam is estimated to posses an annual capacity of 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity . Lastly, this project is deemed to be three times that of the Three Gorges Dam.
