Minnesota is ranked 6th in the nation for business, a new study finds

The Republican's VP Candidate, in his own words:

"We do not like outsiders or people who are different from us, whether the difference lies in how they look, how they act, or, most importantly, how they talk." - JD Vance

55 Things to Know About J.D. Vance, Trump's VP Pick Donald Trump’s pick for vice president made a 180-degree turn from fierce critic to bulldog surrogate for the former president.

JD Vance's record on his choice for president seems to indicate that he may need cognitive testing.

President Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation opined in a podcast interview that the U.S. is "in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

Bloodless? Subjugating the population under Project 2025 is what is meant here. In other countries, it's what we know as a coup, though Mr. Roberts reveals that it may not be a coup d'etat if we allow to happen.

To prevent this, we must get out the vote to re-elect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Project 2025 would overhaul the U.S. tax system. Here's how it could impact you. Project 2025, a blueprint for the next Republican president, proposes major economic changes that could impact millions of Americans.

Congressman Mike Levin of California's 49th District took to interrupting others during a presentation by President Joe Biden to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to uneloquently ask him to drop out of the Presidential race. Some background on the Congressman, he was elected to the Republican-majority 49th District in 2020 with direct help from Joe Biden and again in 2022. In both races he won by under 2% of the vote. During his time in Congress he has voted as a Progressive Democrat which is bit of a surprise given his District.

His e-election strategy this time around, instead of defending or promoting his Congressional Voting Record to his constituents is to attack the President. He's a shameful opportunist, and while it was a feat for Democrats to takeover form÷r Congressman Issa's seat, it's not one we need at the expense of other House Democrats and the Presidency.

We recommend being vigilant when it comes to Democrats who serve conservative districts, and donating money and time to their campaigns. Efforts would be better spent on retaking liberal and centrist districts that Democrats traditionally held, and are team players with Team Blue, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus supports Team Blue and Joe Biden.

Sign Up, Rise Up, and Vote Up for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!

I'm On Board! We’re glad you’re on board with our campaign to reelect President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Shape our campaign’s organizing strategy and tell us how you’d like to participate.

These are the 10 Representatives, 1 Senator, and 1 Donor who believe they speak for all 4,672 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Well, they don't.

George Clooney has told people he fears that we will lose our Majority in the House and Senate, which is odd because we don't have a Majority in the House. While he has donated to Democratic candidates in previous cycles, he doesn't get to anoint candidates. For all his concerns about the Democratic Party, it's worth noting that he is not and has never been a delegate to his state's party convention nor the national convention.

These Representatives from swing districts believe that only they know how to win the Presidency when they couldn't win their Districts without the help of other Democrats outside of those Districts, making donations and volunteering their time to help them get elected (maybe that should stop).

Senator Peter Welch from Vermont is 77 years old and still serving his first year in the U.S. Senate. Will he resign when he turns 80, and does he support an age limit for Senators and Representatives?

These 12 individuals don't have any proposals for a different nominee and a perplexing lack of concern for Project 2025 and Trumpism. They have not put together any realistic plan for the 2024 election, let alone one for their own re-elections. President Joe Biden has, and we support the President and his re-election.

When friends or loved ones display apathy about the election, have them Google, "Project 2025". The Heritage Foundation has developed this plan under Trumpism style, and its not a maybe as to whether they would implement it, its a definite.

It's important that you help get out the vote to re-elect Joe Biden as President; whether or not they are a Democrat, Independent, or Republican. We need to stop Trumpism from harming our Democracy further. President Biden has worked hard at repairing the damage done by Trumpism within the Executive Branch, and we need him to continue the job.

Say NO to Project 2025 and Trumpism.

For the — poor and Black and Native American and Brown defendants — our system of justice was unenviable. Indeed, it seemed bereft of fundamental fairness and any indicators of the possibility of fundamental justice.

But Donald Trump never had to face any of these obstacles to obtaining justice when he was indicted and later faced trial and conviction before 12 ordinary Americans in a New York courtroom. Trump, who remained free throughout his period of conditional release—this despite proven violations of those conditions—faced a jury that undoubtedly looked like him, had a background like him, and constituted a veritable “jury of peers.”

12 ordinary Americans decided Trump’s fate - MinnPost Former President Donald Trump had his day in court — without the obstacles that burden many defendants across America.

The Supreme Court granted Trump amnesty it has no power to give If Trump becomes president, the court will become infamous for abdicating its duty under the Constitution.

Why did the previous flag and seal need to be replaced?

In short, the old flag of Minnesota was designed in a way we would never consider acceptable now or even 50 or 60 years ago.

The old Great Seal memorialized “Manifest Destiny,” according to Gov. Henry Hastings Sibley, who had it designed without approval from the Legislature.

When the Legislature retroactively approved the seal more than thirty years later, and a need for a flag was also on the table, they slapped them together.

A flag is meant to symbolize a common group – in this case, Minnesotans – and be recognized at a significant distance. The old flag failed on both counts.

The old Great Seal was an eyesore to many and a symbol of the horrors that occurred during the period in our nation’s history known as “Manifest Destiny.”

There's nothing more Minnesotan than our new State Flag.

"The new flag is brilliantly blue — like the sky above us and the waters around us. The color “Minnesota Blue” was chosen for the abstract shape of Minnesota as part of the new state flag. No other color could be more appropriate. “Sky-blue” is the color used to represent our waters; after all, we are the Land of 10,000 Lakes and the origin of the Mississippi River.

"The white, eight-point star was turned from its traditional depiction of two points on each side so that one point faced up to represent the North Star. The white color is closer to what we see in the sky at night than the outdated use of gold. White is also a nod to ancient cultures that used it as a symbolic representation of water."
