May Day Moonbattery Exposes Rise of Hard Left

Posted on by

The Democratic Party platform is simple and straightforward: the party is opposed to anything associated with Donald Trump. To learn what would be imposed instead, check in with its increasingly radicalized base at a May Day rally in a Democrat stronghold.

Via Fox News:

Communist and socialist groups called for a “revolution” at a May Day rally in Minneapolis Friday…

Some of those demonstrators denounced capitalism and pushed for the seizure of private property and the means of production…

Protesters on the ground outlined a range of demands, including rent caps tied to income, a reduced work week and the redistribution of wealth from billionaires.

After billionaires come millionaires, thousandaires, hundredaires…

Among the groups present were the Communist Party USA, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), the Revolutionary Communists of America (RCA), the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), with numerous participants carrying flags and signage featuring socialist imagery like the hammer and sickle.

The hammer and sickle represent communism as implemented in countries like the Soviet Union. Because people don’t hear it from the media or in school, it bears repeating that over 100 million people were killed by their own communist governments during the 20th century. Those who survived were enslaved.

The demonstrators supported the Democrat policy of halting immigration enforcement so as to flood the country with foreign moochers:

Demonstrators carried signs that said “F— ICE,” “Abolish ICE,” “Fight Trump’s Agenda,” “No Kings” and “Stop the War,” while others waved red flags associated with the Communist Party USA and held banners featuring the hammer and sickle, including signage from the Revolutionary Communists of America.

Other flags and banners expressed support for sexual perversion and Islamic terrorism.

These kooks are well funded and professionally organized:

A Fox News Digital investigation previously identified U.S.-born tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham, who lives in China, as a key figure in a network tied to some far-left groups involved in protests, part of a broader mobilization involving roughly 600 organizations nationwide.

If these people take power, no one can say we weren’t warned.

Arrest Warrant for ICE Agent in Minnesota

Posted on by

The leftists running Minnesota continue to criminalize law enforcement. The railroading of Derek Chauvin was a milestone. Daily Caller reports on another; an ICE agent was charged yesterday with felony assault:

An on-duty agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., on Feb. 5 allegedly pulled an unmarked SUV alongside another vehicle and pointed a handgun at the driver and his passenger, [Hennepin County Attorney Mary] Moriarty said. …

Morgan is charged with two counts of second-degree assault, has a warrant out for his arrest, and could face up to 14 years in prison between the charges…

Moriarty referred to the victims as “community members” who were “not doing anything at the time.”

She did not mention whether the “community members” were in the country legally. She did mention that she regards the enforcement of federal law to be “occupation.”

Moriarty said that more charges may be expected soon, including in regard to the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, who were both killed while impeding ICE agents.

Both Good and Pretti were recorded not only impeding but physically attacking ICE agents.

The historicness Moriarty achieved by being the first noisily LGBTQ person in her position will be dwarfed if she manages to stage another Fort Sumter moment by arresting federal agents for enforcing the law.

Anti-ICE Moonbats Assault Savanah Hernandez

Posted on by

One way to tell the bad guys from the good guys is how they treat ladies. The leftists laying siege to ICE facilities treat TPUSA Frontlines reporter Savanah Hernandez as you might expect:

Press charges against Antifa in Minneapolis? Good luck. At least authorities might not laugh as hard as they would in Portland.

Here’s video:

Post Millennial reports:

On Instagram, the man who shoved Hernandez is identified as Chris Ostroushko, and goes by “Minnesota Angry Man.”

He wasn’t the only goon to assault her. More video:

Remember the conspicuously uncontrite William Kelly, who was arrested along with Don Lemon and other leftist thugs for terrorizing the congregation during services at Cities Church in St. Paul? He was not kept in a cage where he belongs, so here he comes again:

Antifa/anti-ICE goons may not have to worry about attention from people like Harmeet Dhillon for long. They are tools of the Democratic Party, closely analogous to the Sturmabteilung that helped Nazis to power. If Democrats prevail, we will be effectively ruled by these lowlifes. The only person facing prosecution here would be Savanah Hernandez.

You can guess which side the media will take:

Conquered Faribault, Minnesota Shows the Way to America’s Fundamentally Transformed Future

Posted on by

Just recently, Faribault, Minnesota [pop. 23,352] was a nice place. But crime rates have been rocketing upward as the town becomes unrecognizable. Daniel Greenfield investigates its transformation:

In 1990, it was even 98% white. Or as the Minnesota Post described it, with a shudder, “an almost entirely homogeneous white community, not much different from many towns across Minnesota.” But Faribault was an hour away from Minneapolis at a time when it was being overtaken by Somali mass migration, and it had a meat processing plant, now partly shut down, which is always a draw for illegal aliens and migrants.

By now Somali colonists have discovered more lucrative pursuits than taking low-level jobs from Americans.

Faribault was the epicenter of a $2.6 million Somali Medicaid ride fraud scam in which 8 Somalis, two of them named Mohammed, stole hundreds of names to bill taxpayers for rides, interpreters and acupuncture services that never happened.

It was also part of the $250 million Somali meal scam that first broke open Somali fraud.

Somali fraud in Minnesota has likely cost taxpayers more than $9 BILLION.

The fraud also penetrated the Faribault public school system as investigators are also trying to figure out where $1 million in grant money to stop Somali drug abuse solicited by Lul Bashir Ali, initially identified only as a Somali mother, went.

Whites are down to 65% of the population and sinking fast.

By 2018, minority students made up a majority of the school system. Today, 60% of the school district is minority and only 36% white.

Not only whites are becoming minoritized in their own country but Americans in general.

The Faribault School Board has recently been debating teaching science, health and social studies in Somali. As of 2022, there were over 900 Faribault students who didn’t speak English.

Somalis have complained about the possibility of their offspring becoming “English-dominant” so that “parents and children no longer shared a common language, weakening communication and cultural connections within families.”

Yet again we see that as a rule, Somalis lack even the willingness to assimilate. That’s why Democrats import them.

Faribault might as well teach the students in Somali because state test proficiency scores showed that math proficiency was at 13.7%, science was at 16.1% and reading was at 29.8%. Test scores, graduation rates, attendance and every possible metric are below state standards.

Faribault represents new standards that are fully compliant with the liberal agenda.

Faribault school statistics show that students for whom English is their native language perform over three times better on math, science and more than twice as well on reading. Students who aren’t on welfare perform four times as well on math and science.

Welfare dependence among Somali colonists is stratospheric.

“Faribault has become our city,” a Somali interviewed by the Minnesota Post bragged.

The objective is to multiply Faribault times every town in America. Then Democrats won’t even have to cheat to win every election. That’s why they demonize ICE.

Democrat State Representative Calls for Studying Benefits of Shoplifting

Posted on by

The Marxist ideology of the Democratic Party is fundamentally criminal, as it is based on theft. So it should surprise no one that Democrat politicians represent criminals at the expense of the law-abiding.

To quote Democratic Minnesota State Representative Dave Pinto:

“Yesterday, there was a presentation of a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft, and it actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, to make sure that they would study sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft, because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of using that and maybe it’s, you know, assisting them in some way.”

No need for a study. I can assure Rep. Pinto that theft does benefit thieves.

The only problem with shoplifting from the Democrat point of view is that it cuts out the bureaucratic middleman.

Tim Walz Faceplants at Fraud Hearing

Posted on by

The guy Democrats tried to place a heartbeat away from the presidency was on Capitol Hill yesterday for a fraud hearing held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. It did not go well for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The Daily Signal reports:

The Justice Department, which has indicted almost 100 people for fraud schemes in Minnesota, has estimated the scale of fraud to have potentially exceeded $9 billion since 2018.

Feeding Our Future looted taxpayers for an alleged $250 million. Walz and his liberal media allies at the Minneapolis Star Tribune claimed that a state court ordered the state Education Department to resume payments to this criminal enterprise. The court denies this.

Asked Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH),

“So, the court is lying or you’re lying?”

“I can’t tell you,” answered Tampon Tim.

That’s not all he could not tell the Committee. Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) wondered if, unlike Ketanji Brown Jackson, he could say what a woman is. He could not. He also does not know his Minnesota math:

Target Pays $110 Million to Escape Minneapolis Headquarters

Posted on by

An animal will chew its own leg off to escape a trap. Likewise, even a corporation as historically woke as Target will pay whatever it costs to escape its downtown Minneapolis headquarters as the area swirls down a maelstrom of moonbattery into ruin.

Via Newsmax:

For nearly five years, almost one million square feet of former Target office space in downtown Minneapolis — where the retail giant is headquartered — have sat largely vacant, even as Target continued paying rent, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The George Floyd race riots presumably played a role in the area’s second largest employer abandoning its downtown headquarters.

Minneapolis has again become an epicenter of violent unrest as Democrat politicians mobilize mobs of moonbats against federal immigration enforcement. As noted at Not the Bee,

Leftists have spent the last several months storming the corporate offices because Target won’t condemn the operations of federal law enforcement officers who have been tasked with arresting pedophiles, traffickers, and murderers who entered the United States illegally.

Moonbat infestations are not easy on the ears:

Back to Newsmax:

Now the retailer has written a check for nearly $110 million to formally break its City Center tower lease, which had been scheduled to run through 2031.

It is worth any price to get out of the sinkhole an inner city will inevitably become with moonbats like Jacob Frey in control.

It isn’t just Target:

Minneapolis is grappling with roughly 10 million square feet of empty office space. Even with some companies implementing return-to-office policies, tenants across the Twin Cities gave back 300,000 SF more office space than they leased last year.

Go woke, go broke. It applies not just to brands like Bud Light but to whole cities.
