J. Alexander Kueng, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers tried over the death of George Floyd, is scheduled to be released from prison on Wednesday. Kueng, who had been serving a three-and-a-half-year sentence for aiding and abetting manslaughter, is set to leave the low-security Elkton Correctional Institution in Ohio. His release was confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which noted that federal inmates typically serve 85 percent of their sentences but "there is leeway with the First Step Act and other factors." According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Kueng will return to Minnesota and be put...

ST. PAUL — Derek Chauvin was granted permission to test materials from George Floyd’s autopsy in a challenge to Floyd’s cause of death on Monday, Dec. 16, by federal Judge Paul A. Magnuson of the U.S. District Court of Minnesota. In May 2020, 46-year-old Floyd died after Chauvin, then a Minneapolis police officer, kneeled on his neck. Floyd’s death sparked worldwide Black Lives Matter protests in the months following. As part of a bid to reverse his guilty plea in the case, Chauvin filed a motion requesting further testing of Floyd’s autopsy. Chauvin argued in his complaint that his trial...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Several business owners at the struggling corner where George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020 are suing the city to demand it take over their properties and compensate them. The owners of the Cup Foods convenience store and other businesses operating near 38th Street and Chicago Avenue argue that the city’s failure to address deterioration and crime in the neighborhood has ruined their businesses and constitutes an unlawful taking of their property without just compensation, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported Thursday. They’re seeking $30 million in damages. The area, now known as George...

George Gascón is trailing his challenger, former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman, in recent polls, and much of the incumbent’s support from 2020 has vanished.Hochman has unleashed a media blitz blaming Gascón for high-profile crimes, but the county race reflects a broader shift among voters across the state.Gascón has tried to maintain a positive spin, noting that he came from behind to defeat then-Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey in 2020. This year’s election is on Nov. 5. It’s a Saturday morning in late September, and Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón’s voice is hoarse as he struggles to film a TikTok...

Local activist Sir Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, was sentenced to prison time after creating a fake non-profit organization associated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement to defraud donors and supporters of the cause to fund his shopping sprees. Page was given 42 months of prison time for his crimes after being found guilty in April. He was charged with with one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering, according to WTOL.

A photographer shared his firsthand account of what he calls the “real story” of the George Floyd riots along with his never-before-seen photos of the destruction in an interview on Liz Collin Reports.

Everything you have been taught, all your life, about the police and the courts and the justice system is a lie. Take all your mental images, everything you learned in primary school, every episode of "Perry Mason" or "Law and Order" or "The Rookie", crumple them up, throw them away. Banish them to a corner of your mind prominently labeled "fairy stories for little kids". That is not how any of this works. The police do not exist to protect you from criminals. Detectives do not exist to investigate crime and find the offenders. Courts do not exist to find...

Q. What do you call Hamas murdering six hostages, including an American? A. A political "headache" for Biden-Harris. That's according to CNN regular Toluse Olorunnipa, also the Washington Post's chief White House correspondent. Olorunnipa won a Pulitzer Prize as co-author of His Name is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice. Olorunnipa also fretted that the continuing murder of American hostages would make it harder for Harris to claim the mantle of Commander-in-Chief. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Here I am your host sometimes I've been called Superman And more than a few people in these parts where I live have taken to calling me Buddha... EGO comes out as: Edging God Out... Have the "Communists" the "Marxist-Leninists" take over the Democrats?... And the biggest trick of Marxist Moles is to portray themselves as "Moderate" and "Sensible" like Kamala Harris had done in recent weeks not to the mention the image given to new British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer before he took office... Let's get the Fifth Dimension out here it's time for a "Condom Update"... We...

Another hole in the Left’s already tattered Walz “America’s dad” narrative. When Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz as her running mate, Reuters informed us that he was a “plain speaker from the American heartland to help win over rural, white voters.” That’s what the Harris-Walz campaign wants us to think, but it has quickly become a virtually impossible narrative to sustain. Now, a retired Minnesota police lieutenant has shot another hole in the left’s already tattered Walz “America’s dad” narrative, and shown yet again how far left the Leftist Next Door really is. Fox News reported Thursday that retired Minnesota...

One of the former Minneapolis police officers who was convicted in connection to the death of George Floyd, whose passing prompted the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, has been released from custody. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Thomas Lane was released from prison on Tuesday. In May 2022, 41-year-old Lane entered a guilty plea to state charges of second-degree manslaughter of aiding and abetting. Nevertheless, prosecutors agreed to dismiss the charges against him for aiding and abetting second-degree unintentional murder as part of a plea agreement. For the state charges, he received a three-year prison sentence. …

The point of this video is that the burning of Minneapolis can be laid at the feet of Tim Walz. He lit the march and started the fire that burned across many U.S. cities. He did this by lying about the George Floyd incident. He obviously did this intentionally because he knew it was a lie and he knew the incendiary effect this lie would have. Video Transcript (from ChatGPT): BRIAN: Liz Collin is here with us. She is a journalist for Alpha News. Good to see you, Liz. She is the author of The Downfall of Minneapolis, which, if...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly turned down interview requests with The New York Times to address fresh criticisms he's facing over his response to the George Floyd riots in 2020. Walz, who has served as governor since 2019, is accused of failing to act quickly enough as rioters burned and looted businesses for days before he sent in the National Guard. Over 1,500 businesses and buildings were burned, with property damage estimated at $500 million, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Democrat's actions have once again come into the spotlight after he was chosen as Vice President Harris' running...

The riots and looting that took place over the summer of 2020 aren’t easily forgotten–especially by Minnesota residents who watched their cities burn for weeks on end. While many would like to leave the riots in the past, these events remain inseparably connected to Democratic presidential frontrunners Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. GOP Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance was one of the first to address what’s being called the “burn-and-bail” team of politicians who allowed Minnesota to be burned and looted for days on end and who helped to bail the rioters out...

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11Welcome to the race, Tim Walz!Let’s make sure America knows who you are.You helped ignite the George Floyd riots, the worst the country had seen in decades. While Minneapolis burned, you stalled on deploying the National Guard for an entire day, blaming the city for not submitting the right paperwork. You let your daughter leak the Guard's deployment plans online, so that rioters would know how long they had to loot the city with impunity. Minneapolis is a war zone because of you.Just days after the attempted murder of Donald Trump, you called him and his supporters "fascists,"...

Well, it’s finally a race. On Tuesday, Kamala Harris selected progressive Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate in what has become one of the most exciting presidential campaign sprints in modern history. The Harris-Walz campaign now has just 89 days to take its show on the road before voters head to the ballot box on Nov. 5. Harris’ choice also did the impossible, uniting progressive and conservative lawmakers in Washington. Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) hailed Walz as an “excellent decision” and a leader who “won’t back down under tight odds.” Meanwhile, Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) —...

The lead graphic designer for the Harris for President campaign premiered the campaign’s new logo design this week, receiving millions of impressions and praise on X for the 24-hour rebranding. But on the same account, the Brooklyn-based designer has a long history of urging political violence and crime. “[M]e and my designers made this. [T]his is crazy,” wrote Ana Cherée Rice, 32, on Monday. Accompanying the post was the official new campaign logo declaring “Harris for President” in blue and red text. Rice’s professional social media pages list her pronouns and her interest in diversity, inclusion and equity. But a...

Nearly every time President Joe Biden appears in public these days, he fuels the chatter: Will aging Joe bow out of the 2024 race? Will he be forced to step aside? In the latest incident, former president Barack Obama was seen on Saturday reaching for Biden's hand and seemingly guiding the 81-year-old Commander-in-Chief off the stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser. And that came after Biden stood motionless and stared blankly for a full minute at a Juneteenth celebration at the White House on Monday, as others sang and danced around him. Eventually, Philonise Floyd, brother of the late George...

It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echo through the streets, along with “there is only one solution: intifada revolution.” Among the crowd is the infamous Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who warns through a megaphone that a cabal of wily Jews has conspired to place “their little posters” (of kidnapped Israeli civilians) across the city, seeking...
