St. Paul's battle against people of faith

It's obvious that St. Paul isn't interested in either public safety, the Constitution or its spiritual health. It's obvious after reading this KSTP article highlighting "The St. Paul City Attorney’s Office has declined to bring state criminal charges against demonstrators who disrupted a Jan. 18 service at Cities Church. In a statement, City Attorney Irene Kao said videos and other materials related to the Jan. 18 incident were insufficient to establish probable cause and result in a criminal conviction."

The City issued the obligatory letter saying that "This decision should not be interpreted as an endorsement of unlawful behavior or public disorder. The right to peacefully protest is protected, as is the right to exercise one’s religious beliefs. Balancing these equally important rights is paramount to our decision today. However, acts of violence, property destruction, or threats to public safety – none of which occurred here – remain serious concerns and will be prosecuted when supported by admissible evidence."

TRANSLATION: Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada. Don't bother us until it's something important.

Invaders got into the faces of little children and screamed at them. That's while these invaders violated this congregation's First Amendment rights.

Cities Church:

Let's examine another part of St. Paul's statemenmt, the part where they say "The right to peacefully protest is protected." Let's examine the FACE Act, aka the "Freedom of access to clinic entrances Act." The bill's language states "Whoever ... by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship."

Getting into the faces of little children is, without question, an act of intimidation. Attorney Kao couldn't be further from the truth than when she said "videos and other materials" from the invasion "were insufficient to establish probable cause and result in a criminal conviction." Does this look like a "peaceful protest?"

God help us if it does.

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
