On Tuesday around 11:30 am, officers responded to the first of three reported robberies in the 5100 block of 41st Ave South. Shortly after responding to the scene, police were alerted to a second robbery on the...

Carrie Shobe Kwok, 66, of St. Paul, was kneeling over a colorful art project she'd been working on to brighten the community when surveillance footage showed the moment she was shot and killed.

1 in 3 Minneapolis Public Housing residents are Somalis... Glass ceilings get broken, then wallets get stolen. Only in America? No. Only in Gov. Walz’s Minnesota. But first, let’s pause to celebrate the incredible historic moment of the first Somali refugee to run a public housing agency. Sharmarke Issa was confirmed by the Minneapolis City Council to chair Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA). Issa is the first immigrant and first East African to serve as chair of the MPHA Board of Commissioners. “Having grown up in in Minneapolis public housing after coming to our city as a refugee, Sharmarke’s story...

Ignorant and weak Somali Mommy Got Her A** Whooped after she said N-Word in Minneapolis

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.

For the state charges, he received a three-year prison sentence. …

Liz Collin interviews photographer Chris Birt. Minneapolis resident Chris Birt spent a week photographing and documenting the riots. “Absolutely violent”

In May 2020, as Minneapolis burned and grieved after the police murder of George Floyd, Tim Walz seemed backed into a corner.The Minnesota governor was facing a barrage of criticism for not moving faster to restore order after the torching of a police station and numerous businesses. When Walz mobilized the state National Guard three days after Floyd’s death, the move garnered praise from the most unlikely of supporters: then-President Trump.In a call with Walz and other leaders about a week after Floyd’s death, Trump remarked that “what they did in Minneapolis was incredible.”“They went in and dominated, and it...

If Kamala Harris wanted to dispel the idea that Democrats are soft on crime, Tim Walz was an odd choice of running mate. Mr. Walz’s tenure as Minnesota’s governor will be defined by the George Floyd race riots in Minneapolis and his response to them. Americans everywhere still live with the consequences. On Memorial Day 2020, May 25, Floyd passed a counterfeit $20 bill at a Minneapolis convenience store. The clerk called the police; Floyd, high on fentanyl, resisted arrest and said that he couldn’t breathe. After a long struggle, the responding officers managed to cuff Floyd and place him...

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 Guard report said riot troops ready, not bunch of 'cooks'... Tim Walz mocked Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who, on May 27, 2020, as his city burned, issued an urgent call to the governor to send in the National Guard. Mr. Walz delayed action by more than 24 hours ... as buildings, including a police precinct, went down. “I don’t think the mayor knew what he was asking for,” Mr. Walz later said. “We’re going to have massively trained troops? No. You are going to have 19-year-olds who are cooks in some cases. .. Mr. Walz had to know his...

We knew from recent rallies and riots that it’s highly likely the groups behind today’s riots are Domestic terrorists, revolutionary communists, US based radical Islamist organizations and others related to the Democrat Party. Today we have more proof this is the case. We reported a few days ago that Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar’s daughter tweeted out support for the protestors: Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter Isra Hirsi, retweeted a list of supplies for “comrades” who are rioting in Minneapolis. Isra Hirsi is the co-founder of US Youth Climate Strike and her Twitter bio says she ‘hates capitalism.’ Isra Hirsi...

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer serving a long sentence for the murder of George Floyd more than four years ago, has been moved without public explanation from a federal prison in Arizona to a transfer facility in Oklahoma, according to government records. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons says Chauvin is now housed at its administrative security federal transfer center in Oklahoma City. The bureau’s handbook for the facility describes the Oklahoma City prison as a lockup for inmates that includes “in-transit holdovers and parole violators.” Bureau spokeswoman Randilee Giamusso said Monday that Chauvin’s transfer occurred Friday, but she...

Christina Westman dreamed of working with Parkinson’s disease and stroke patients as a music therapist when she started studying at St. Cloud State University. But her schooling was upended in May when administrators at the Minnesota college announced a plan to eliminate its music department as it slashes 42 degree programs and 50 minors. It’s part of a wave of program cuts in recent months, as U.S. colleges large and small try to make ends meet. Among their budget challenges: Federal COVID relief money is now gone, operational costs are rising and fewer high school graduates are going straight to...

An Italian American civil rights group lashed out at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, dubbing him an “enemy” of the community and imploring him to drop out of the race, according to its board member. The Italian American Civil Rights League (IACRL), which was founded in New York City and endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election, blasted Walz over his approach to rioters who tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus. “Tim Walz did nothing to stop radical vandals from targeting the most prominent symbol of Italian-American culture in a flagrant hate crime,” IACRL board member Mike Crispi...
