It was 6:29 p.m. on the last Wednesday in May 2020, when Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey phoned Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Riots had erupted the day before over the police killing of George Floyd, and the city was overwhelmed.

Frey pleaded with Walz to call in the National Guard.

Less than three hours later, the city made a written request to Walz’s office for 600 guardsmen to help quell the chaos that was engulfing the Twin Cities.

Very sad story.

My mother was from MN. She grew up on the Iron Range, moved to Duluth for high school.

She and my father met in outside of Union Station on his way to his convoy across the Atlantic in WWII.

We went to MN every 3 years to see her relatives. Beautiful country, great fishing.

I still think it would have been smarter for the Faker from Jamaica to have chosen JOBU as her running mate.

His first question when asked to call up the Guard was to inquire about their DEI training so they would not offend the rioters. Only through the power of Satan’s lies are these people still in power

It looks as if the Dems are going full Roman.

First, Nasty Pelosi and her gang shiv Josephus Bidenus in the manner in which Brutus and his gang shived Julius Caesar.

Second, the Dem gang picks Kackaling Kamala to run for the presidency in the manner in which the Pretorian Guard picked Claudius to become the emperor after they offed the sitting emperor.

Third, Kackling Kamala choses Nero, er, Walz, to be her running mate. We can only hope Walz will meet Nero’s fate. (He was run out of Rome and committed suicide by driving a dagger into his neck to avoid being tried and condemned to death for his crimes agains Rome.)
