"What is wrong with the Twin Cities these days? They never used to be like this. They have gone from Ozzie and Harriet to The Munsters. I guess a better question would be what is right with the Twin Cities. The answer would be short and not too sweet. What is right with the Twin Cities today? Not much. Not much at all."
I am not a fan of the hometown newspaper. Have not been for years. It is yellow journalism. It makes no effort to hide its bias. But why? Simple answer - the population of the Twin Cities (proper) loves the kind of gruel that the Strib puts out. And what is the passion of the minions who live in Minneapolis and St. Paul? ICE. Anything and everything which can be made up and printed about ICE. And what does the chattering class in the Twin Cities not give a wit about? Fraud. Instead of fraud being looked upon as vile as a four-letter word, fraud in the Strib has become a "so what" topic.
For those of us who have been paying attention, ICE has been offered a very raw deal while operating in the Twin Cities. Operation Metro Surge became very difficult for any genuine law enforcement officers, local or federal, who were trying to uphold the law. Let me put this in as simple of terms that I can: The Twin Cities in general, treated ICE agents like crap. Period. Why? That is the question. All ICE was trying to do was uphold the immigration laws that Congress passed.
In response, the city unleashed their lawless thugs on them. Night after night. Doxxing. Fireworks. RESIST BS. Is there a reason that Texas not agree to send an ICE agent back to the Twin Cities for prosecution? A couple of reasons: 1) Keith Ellison, who has zero standing with law enforcement, and 2) The reputation the Twin Cities has for railroading cops. Texas did the right thing. ICE will investigate this agent, and if he stepped out of line, he will be punished. If, however, he did not, it is back to work for him.
Back to fraud. That has become a taboo term in many of the local press outlets. And truthfully, here is how I feel about fraud in the Twin Cities. Any Democrat who can even spell fraud should be disqualified from running for anything, anywhere. In most normal cities, the arsonist who started the fire don't get re-elected. But this is Minnesota, land of the fruits and the nuts. Ellison will probably get re-elected. Flanigan will get elected. Hotdish Amy will get elected. All of them are suspect for how much they knew about the years of fraud under their watch. And the local paper? It is ICE or nothing.
What is wrong with the Twin Cities these days? They never used to be like this. They have gone from Ozzie and Harriet to The Munsters. I guess a better question would be what is right with the Twin Cities. The answer would be short and not too sweet. What is right with the Twin Cities today? Not much. Not much at all.
