MINNEAPOLIS — Gov. Tim Walz confirmed the Minnesota National Guard will deploy to support local authorities after Hennepin Co. Sheriff Dawanna Witt formally requested the assistance of the National Guard.

Later Saturday afternoon, the city of Minneapolis also requested support from the Minnesota National Guard to "help local police and emergency personnel protect community safety" in the area around Saturday's fatal shooting "and at other posts as needed."

Minnesota National Guard is in front of the federal building at this time...

Mayor Frey does not want anarchists to burn buildings and break into stores...He probably came to the conclusion that his police department really needs help from National Guard...To prevent those things from happening...

The metro area has gone mad.

Back in the 1800’s the city of Black River Falls went mad.

Invite in evil people like the Somalies, among others, and maybe this is a natural consequence.

My question is, “is the National Guard there to contain ICE, or to contain rioters?

Is the Guard REALLY being called in to protect property, or against ICE?

Tomorrow will tell.

Exactly.

My bet is the intent is anti-ICE. Wonder what the troopers will choose?

Much spiritual darkness surrounding the metro area, and other US cities.

This would be a good time for a PSA about the duty to refuse illegal orders.

Either that, or the federal subpoenas make him realize that committing treasonous war against the federal government isn’t a good game plan.

I guess we’ll see what they tell the Guard to do. If he tells them to fight ICE, as he said was the desire of Minnesotans, then maybe he’s doubling down on stupid/criminal.

We’ll have to see.

Minnesota National Guard soldiers are replacing the county sheriff deputies in front of the federal building...

I think sheriff deputies were there to prevent protestors from blocking road...I think soldiers will do the same job...

Remember the ICE detention center in Illinois? Illinois State Police was actually deployed near that place...State troopers made sure that protestors did not block road...Yes, state troopers did arrest some protestors who refused to get off the road...

At this point it should be obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that the Minneapolis anti-ICE anarchy is a DNC street-level operation to distract from the exposure of the massive Democrat-Somali joint-venture criminal enterprise. As such, the street-level actors should, rationally, have no interest in picking fights with the MN Natl Guard. But the million-dollar question is: how many of the street-level actors didn’t get the memo and don’t realize that they’re the front line of a Democrat-party scam? If they drank the Kool-Aid and really believe that ICE is the Gestapo and they’re the only thing standing in the way of the 4th Reich, well, then will they see the MN Natl Guard as just another fascist-adjacent paramilitary force that must be similarly fought?

These leftist jackasses keep calling Trump a “pedo protector” because of the Epstein case, yet THEY are the ones protecting the pedophiles by blocking ICE

If we have to send in the US Army into Minnesotastan, do we have an exit strategy?

I am noting that the majority of rioters are white and a hefty percentage of those are female. Every now and them they trot out some aggrieved Somali like that woman with the fakeazz head wound who couldn’t even articulate her case well. It was a joke to anyone who would watch but it served their purpose of ham handed tactics.
I am to the point that my compassion meter is not moving when one of these unhinged aholes gets killed, like that nurse guy yesterday: FAFO.
It would seem to me that if the MNNG acted as agents against ICE, Trump could simply nationalize them and use them himself. Could be wrong, but he is the CIC.

“Minnesota National Guard is in front of the federal building at this time...”

Their condition is: weapon present, not combat-ready or armed without lethal capability and symbolically armed. (no ammo)

I think that the reason that Biden didn’t release the files and that Trump isn’t releasing the files is that Epstein was a pedophille honeypot laid by the CIA to entrap domestic and foreign leaders.

Re exit strategy:

Yup… straight through Walz’s office, then Frey’s, and then the DNC.

We can all it, oh, I dunno, how about “The Long March”….

I am in agreement.

Blackmail only works as long as it is kept secret.

All of DC (read Deep State) has zero incentive to end this.

Mayor Frey is probably already rehearsing his crying scene for the funeral.
