President Trump has denied a request from Minnesota’s governor for money to rebuild parts of Minneapolis that were destroyed during the riots following the death of George Floyd.
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's office said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”
Walz, a Democrat, requested that Trump declare Minnesota a “major disaster” zone in a request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency on July 2 after more than 1,500 buildings were damaged by looting and rioting in the wake of Floyd’s death, totaling over $500 million in damages.
At least one Republican in the state had lobbied the Trump administration to reject the request, arguing that the state’s response to the unrest should be thoroughly reviewed.
What should be reviewed is the cause and the media’s reporting causing the contribution. Why not print this up and pass around in your precinct

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

New management would be a step in the right direction
It was Ford
This sounds like a dem gov who supported the criminals tearing up his state and now wants others to pay for it.
The gov should have stopped the criminal activity to start with and been responsible for his attitude and decisions.
Maybe next time he won’t let his “boys” tear up everything.
No sense in throwing good money after bad.

The president should officially declare Governor Walz a major disaster.
Good. Leftist (i.e. Democrat) politicians are simply criminals in suits.

Maybe GS should rebuild Minnesota? His goon squad of pasty blanco basement dwellers were the perps. Vitamin D matters!
Newark NJ was relatively peaceful throughout these riots because I believe the black mayor understands the city is hanging on by its fingernails already - and with office workers connected remotely there is no reason to return to the relatively small downtown. A few poorly-attended protests, no damage.
.
Its called PAYING THE PIPER.
When you stand around doing nothing YOU are the one responsible and should pay.
Help the People, DEFUND THE LEFTIST GOVERNMENT.
.
Why do you say that?
its a specific variation on the general leftist urban scam
the state and local politicians create a mess...they rely upon their congressional delegation in DC to vote them money... which everybody in the DC Congressional delegation and in the state and local governments then splits with one another...generally to be sure each gets re-elected so they can continue the cycle.
its basically how a Pelosi can accumulate 190 million green over a lifetime of “public service” at an average salary less than 160K/yr
Forbes doesn’t “get it” -
“please respond” ....see my post 57
people making this stuff happen are much different from all of us.
they are predators...and prey on us
Not the rest of Americas’ problem to rebuild that which was allowed to happen in your state there pal.
Good job Mr. Trump.
Good for Trump. Why should the taxpayers of the other 49 states have to pay for the incompetence of the Minnesota authorities.
