In this article , I quoted Geny Villoa as saying "It is sad to see some people trying to divide us when we should be coming together." It's noteworthy that Villoa is from Somalia, where they've been fighting a civil war since the early 1990s. The last thing I'll do is take advice from a man whose home nation has been fighting a civil war for 35+ years. It's also noteworthy from a political standpoint that "Clergy from across faiths stood together inside a Saint Paul church to condemn a recent social media post by President Donald Trump." Actually, that's more than a little misleading. While it's true that clergy from many denominations are calling for religious people to speak out against Preident Trump , they don't say people of faith are supposed to unite around. Should we unite around the Christian Bible? Should we unite around Christ's Gospels? Should we unite arounnd Paul's letters to the churches he started in Syria, Greece,...

A week after i Somali gangs ruined the Eden Prairie High School Homecoming Game, St. Cloud Tech High School tried spinning their way out of their decision to not fix the Somali gang violence problem. To be fair, there was a threat posted on social media, though it didn't say anything about who the threat came from, though that's often an indicator by itself. This KSTP article reports that "St. Cloud Tech High School is adding new game security after a threat raised concerns ahead of homecoming. The school used metal detectors, bag checks, and had a highly visible police presence at its homecoming football game Friday afternoon. The district also moved kickoff to 4:30 p.m. and required people to leave promptly after the game. It was exactly one week ago that gunfire shut down Eden Prairie High School’s homecoming football game— and forced the evacuation of hundreds of people." To be fair, this is a multi-faceted problem. What law enforcement did Friday afternoon was ...

It's obvious to people with brains that Sen. Amy Klobuchar isn't prepared to protect Minnesotans. According to this Alpha News article , MN GOP Chairman Alex Plechash is frequently quoted as being harsh on Sen. Klobuchar on the issue of public safety. For instance, Chairman Plechash said "Public safety is the first responsibility of government. Yet Amy Klobuchar’s campaign website does not list it among her stated priorities. That omission speaks volumes." That's foolish. Hoq do protect the public without hiring police officers or buying ammunition or protective gear. That's a little short-sighted. Here are Sen. Klobuchar's priorities: Lower Costs for Minnesotans Make Government Accountable and Root out Fraud Prepare Minnesota’s Workforce for the Future Expand Minnesota’s Rural and Agricultural Economy Support Conservation and Outdoor Recreation It's a little short-sighted to pay exclusive attention to pocketbook issues. Ignoring Somali gang violence, ...

Aric Putnam isn't a top-tier candidate. Supposedly, he isn't the hardest worker on the campaign trail, either. He's got the worst case of Tarryl Clark disease I've ever seen. For those living outside St. Cloud, Tarryl Clark Disease is the worst affliction known to moderate Democrats. It's when so-called moderate Democrats start accumulating a voting record. Putnam cast THE DECIDING VOTE on every controversial bill the DFL Trifecta legislature passed. Now, he's got a bigger problem. Alpha News is reporting that "A Muslim cleric who issued an antisemitic prayer in 2017 was a featured speaker at the Islamic Center of St. Cloud’s 19th Annual Convention on Saturday. Also speaking at that event was a DFL state senator who represents the St. Cloud area." According to the translation of Imam Shahin's prayer, Shahin supposedly said "Oh Allah, support the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the rest of the Muslim lands. Oh Allah, liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the f...

Now that the FBI thwarted a terrorist attack on the Mall of America , Amy Klobuchar said "This shows why we continue to need major coordinated investments in anti-terrorism and local law enforcement to stop attacks like these. Our state must take terrorism and violent crime head on, working with our federal law enforcement and local police departments to keep Minnesotans safe." Sen. Klobuchar sickens me with her faux concern over terrorism. She's the politician that advocated for bringing unscreened Somalis to the U.S., starting in 2015. I wrote this article to highlight Sen. Klobuchar's quote where she said "Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the country and has a tradition of opening its doors to immigrants from all over the world. I welcome this re-designation of Somalia for TPS, which will allow Somali people in Minnesota and across the United States to continue living, working, and succeeding in our country. As an early supporter of the l...

This Alpha News article reports that the FBI thwarted an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack on the Mall of America. According to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen, "Mohamud has been charged with acquiring an AK-47 assault rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition in order to commit a federal crime of terrorism, including attempting to provide material support to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization." According to the article, "[Sheikhdoon Abdullahi] Mohamud is an American citizen who was born in the United States, but he referred to Somalia as the homeland of his parents, according to Rosen." This part reveals why U.S. patriots of all nationalities need to be vigilant: FBI Special Agent in Charge Chris Dotson said Mohamud described himself as "100 percent committed" to what Dotson called "his planned jihad journey." Mohamud met with someone he believed to be a loyal member of ISIS on Tuesday to purchase an AK-47 rifle, Dotson explained. ...
