I wasn't able to get a picture, but I saw 3-4 protestors waving Iranian flags in CDA yesterday.
Courage -on June 28.
Run that flag smack in City Park on July 4.
Mostly peaceful brawl and assault on police
A whole host of serious felonies in one video. Call in the boys and get to whoopin' some ass!
You serious? This happens because nothing like what you mention ever happens. Soros DA will drop the charges and the "community activists" dem NGO employees will be screaming about excessive police force, lawsuits filed and the need for de-escalation specialists.
If only there was a real world economic laboratory out there and this thing called history.https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/06/blue-state-in-free-fall.php
Blue State In Free Fall
Everyone knows that California, New York and Illinois are circling the drain after years of failed liberal government. Fewer are aware that Minnesota, once hailed by Barack Obama as the exemplar of a successful blue state, is also on the rocks.
Historically, Minnesota was a prosperous place. The most basic measure of economic well-being is per capita GDP. By this measure, Minnesota always enjoyed a “premium” over the U.S. as a whole. As recently as 2014, Minnesota’s per capita GDP was more than $4,000 over the national average. That is $16,000+ for a family of four. No wonder people thought of Minnesota as the most successful of blue (or mostly blue, anyway) states.
But in 2014, an ascendant Democratic Party enacted a massive tax increase that brought Minnesota’s top personal income tax rate to just under 10%. That caused the state’s economy to spiral downward. This chart shows Minnesota’s per capita GDP in comparison with the national average, which shows as 0 on the X axis:
In 2024, for the first time in its history, Minnesota became a below-average state, economically. Its per capita GDP is now below the national average.
Not only that: Minnesota is the only state whose per capita GDP growth has trailed the nation’s for every one of the last ten years. Ten years in a row of failure; the worst record of any state.
As a result of lack of opportunity in Minnesota, driven in part by an exodus of entrepreneurs and lack of job creation, people are leaving the state–and, just as important, not moving into it. This chart tells the story: Minnesota gains residents in the income category 0-$25,000 on account of its lavish welfare benefits, and loses residents to other states, on a net basis, in every income category over $25,000:

Some consequences have a greater impact than others. Literally.
2 dead so far. Active shooter situation. Could be more than one shooter.
Bad situation.
Meanwhile in Dem Land…
Incredibly sad. Two firefighters killed.
The procession accompanying the bodies to Spokane is at least 200 vehicles. The deployment was massive
Shooter is dead. As he should be.
