A non-profit organization called “Feeding our Future (FOF)” was stopped in its tracks this week by the FBI after using millions of federal dollars meant for child nutrition to instead buy “numerous vehicles” and 14 properties, according to the Bureau. FBI Special Agent Travis Wilmer wrote in an affidavit this week: “The companies and their owners received tens of millions of dollars in federal funds for use in providing nutritious meals to underprivileged children and adults. Almost none of this money was used to feed children. Instead, the participants in the scheme misappropriated the money and used it to purchase...

Numerous Minneapolis restaurants are suing Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey over the city’s vaccine mandate that went into effect on Wednesday. The mandate, issued on January 14, requires that “everyone entering an establishment that serves food or drink in Minneapolis must show proof of either being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or having a negative PCR or antigen test taken within three days.”

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says "regardless of the decision made by the jury, there is one true reality, which is that George Floyd was killed at the hands of police."

Democrats have fully pivoted on the nightly Portland riots. They’ve gone all-in on blaming the riots on President Trump thus allying themselves with the antifa and Black Lives Matter anarchist and communist mobs. Instead of black bloc balaclavas or masks, the politicians have donned the cloak of civil libertarianism. In doing so, they make a mockery of it. Democrats, so far as I can find, have never denounced the violent mobs, though New York Governor Andrew Cuomo once wagged a finger at George Floyd rioters while simultaneously explaining that it wasn’t really their fault because “income inequality” led to violence....

VIDEO No matter how much liberal mayors try to spinelessly placate the rioters, it is never enough as you can see. Watch how both Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as well as Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler end up being forced to perform the humiliating "Walk of Shame" by the enraged mob.

The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously approved a measure to abolish the city’s police department — a radical proposal amid nationwide efforts by activists to defund local law enforcement agencies.

TwitterÂ’s policies about misleading tweets and abusive behavior are deeply cynical and designed merely to censor speech Jack Dorsey doesnÂ’t like. It seems clear now that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is going to ban President Donald Trump. ItÂ’s just a matter of when.Dorsey will come up with a pretext, however absurd or cynical, as part of TwitterÂ’s ongoing efforts to interfere in the 2020 election. It will probably consist of a charge that Trump has had one too many violations of some entirely subjective and impossible-to-define Twitter policy on abusive or harmful speech.We got another preview of what that might...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has asked for help from local and federal agencies to respond to a spate of gun violence in the city that continued Monday. Nine people were shot in three separate incidents in north Minneapolis, the Star Tribune reports, though it's not clear if the incidents were related to each other, or to the shooting in Uptown Minneapolis that killed Cody Pollard, 27, and wounded 11 others on Saturday. The mayor said the city will receive assistance from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department, Metro Transit Police, the State Patrol, the FBI, the Secret Service, and the Bureau...

VIDEO It's on! The battle for the best Soyboy Dancer. The two finalists are Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Contestants should be judged on a number of levels. Degree of cultural appropriation: In this case I think Trudeau with his wanna be Indian robe probably has the edge. Poorly fitting dance outfit: Mayor Frey with his shrink wrapped jeans definitely in the lead here. Horribly awkward dance moves: Pretty much a tossup. Embarrassing Virtue Signalling: Again, another tossup. So who do you think is the winner of the Soyboy Dance Contest? Cast your votes...

(Snip) But that theme soon got lost amid calls from activists urging the city to divest resources from the Minneapolis Police Department, with groups interrupting Frey’s initial announcement. In public hearings and press conferences, activists — namely members of the advocacy group Reclaim the Block — shared personal stories for why they disagree with Frey’s plan to grow MPD’s budget: specifically his proposal to add 14 new officers in 2020. At the same time, downtown business leaders and other residents called for the City Council to grow the police force — beyond what Frey had proposed — to improve public...

The Democratic Party is navigating a crossroads in realtime. The left, more broadly, has chosen its path. Joe Biden is now an unlikely bulwark. It all comes down to one viral video. The relevant clip documents Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a progressive Democrat, paying lip service to George Floyd protesters before being booed out of the crowd for meekly refusing demands to defund the police. Throw all the national polls and focus groups away—that constituency may soon be the only one that matters. *snip* If they get their way on this, a proposal so radical it tests their ability to...

The Minneapolis City Council president said the city is aiming to have a "police-free future" as it shifts to dismantle its police department following the death of George Floyd. Council President Lisa Bender noted on Monday that the change will take time but said that the city is aspiring to change the department completely with the goal of eventually eliminating police altogether. "I think the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational, and I am willing to stand with community members who are asking us to think of that as the goal because so many folks in our...

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™ (Natural Health / Success / Freedom) discusses how Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has lost control of his city, after being humiliated by radical activists Saturday.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Sunday reiterated that he doesn't support abolishing the city's police force, hours after a veto-proof majority of members of the Minneapolis City Council said they want to take that drastic step in the wake of the in-custody death of George Floyd. Frey, who ordered a police station to evacuate as rioters burned it to the ground last month, was shouted down by a large gathering of demonstrators near his home on Saturday when he defied their demands to shutter the city's police forces. "I'll work relentlessly with Chief [Medaria] Arradondo and alongside community toward deep,...

On Sunday afternoon, a veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council members will announce their commitment to disbanding the city’s embattled police department, which has endured relentless criticism in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, on May 25. “We’re here because we hear you. We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police. We are here because here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety is not keeping our communities safe,” Minneapolis City Council President Lisa...

VIDEO Just as the Jacobins of the French Revolution ended up eating their own including Danton and Robespierre, we are now seeing the Jacobin Left in America doing the same. The latest example was when the the squishy liberal mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, was just denounced and booed because he would not agree to defunding the police department which, of course, would mean its abolition. So the question has to be asked, how long before the Jacobin Left demand the removal of the author of the 1994 crime bill, Joe Biden, from the Democrat ticket? If Frey is...

George Floyd is a household name after losing his life to a police officer who casually detained him with a knee on the neck and now faces murder charges. It sparked massive amounts of protests across America and even in other countries. Most of the time it was peaceful protest and many of those in attendance would constantly call out the people who were there to cause damage and looting - and in some cases, even commit acts of physical violence against each other. Many of the looters didn't even wait until the sun went down Here are 15 times...

Seriously, unless he's a leftist lib, why doesn't the Minneapolis chief of police call a presser and have all his police force turn their badges in now? After all, they're all gonna be fired anyway right? Why wait until next week? Let the city burn down this weekend so the country can truly see what liberalism is? Then, maybe the electorate who voted these leftists into office can reap what the sowed. So sick of this shit.

MINNEAPOLIS — Negotiators for the city of Minneapolis have agreed with the state to ban the use of chokeholds by police and to require police to report and intervene any time they see an unauthorized use of force by another officer. The moves are part of a stipulation between the city and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, which launched a civil rights investigation this week in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody. The city council is expected to approve the agreement Friday. The agreement, which will be enforceable in court, would require any officer, regardless...
