I was on my way back from my son’s track meet in Minnesota and got a flat tire on a Iowa interstate. I tried to request roadside assistance in my Allstate app (because I don’t know how to change a flat tire), but was not getting a signal on my phone because of where we were in Iowa, so I was looking down messing with my phone and thought instead of using the app, I would call Allstate (which takes longer). I was thinking, it’s going to take a few hours for them to get to me once I get ahold of them, when my son goes, someone is here. Like this guy appeared out of no where, dressed in Iowa Hawkeye gear and goes, “Can I help you?” Long story short, his name is Zach Twedt, football player for Iowa Hawkeyes…I just wanted to appreciate him for being so kind and helping a stranger out, who needed to get her kids home safely. He could’ve kept going, but he didn’t! What a good dude! May God reward him for his kindness today!

In Minnesota… Go to a liquor store with friend who will vouch that you’re 21 years old. Go to a voting place with a friend who will vouch that you’re an American citizen. You won’t get the alcohol but you will get to vote. Think about how absurd that is. A system designed for voter fraud.

in MN, it's LEGAL to show up covered head to toe, vote with no ID, then bring in 7 others also covered, to also vote with no ID it's just ILLEGAL to expose it

For those who want the simplest math lesson today- Minneapolis has around 400k residents (even that is inflated). Which gives about 31k per Ward. 90% are citizens. 65% of that (and I’m being generous) are adults. 80% are registered. That puts us at 14400. These are just nation wide statistical averages of the last 60ish years. And in Minneapolis Ward 12 last year over 14,000 ballots were cast- or 98% So is this purple haired grown woman lydia saying non citizens are voting? Or children? Or both? Rough day to not know math in our banana republic.

Out of respect for the spirit of revival that is taking place around the world, I humbly ask if everyone on my timeline who believes in the power of prayer would you please stop what you're doing to just take a moment, and post this short prayer. Not all will but I hope some will. II Chronicles 7:14 Lord we need you ! Please sweep across this nation and heal this land. Restore our strength, renew our minds, and banish everything that is not of You. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen. Thank you. I copied and pasted. You can too….

This ad applies to every state consumed by Democrat corruption and incompetence. I’m getting messages from across the country from people it brought to tears. A powerful message that every voter needs to see. Vote a straight Republican ticket.
🚨 BREAKING: Tad Jude just dropped the political ad of the cycle in Minnesota. You need to watch every second of this. It’s time to take our state back, Minnesota!

Maybe this is why she couldn't find the fraud. @peggyflanagan, in her own words: "I'm going to tell you a secret, and don't tell anybody, okay? ... I graduated from high school with a 1.75 GPA by the skin of my teeth and I got into college based on stellar letters of recommendation and a charming personality." A 1.75 GPA. By her own admission, she talked her way into college on personality. She's spent eight years as @LtGovFlanagan while $250 million was looted through Feeding Our Future and billions more disappeared across state programs — and she never saw a thing. She oversaw the whole State while Walz was AWOL for a while year running for VP. Now she wants a promotion to the U.S. Senate? Washington doesn't need another charming personality. It needs someone who can read a balance sheet. 16 days. #SaveOurState #StopTheFraud #VoteRepublican VOTE @Michele_Tafoya for Senate

Oh do I have a true story for you today… Trip to Walmart today, I saw an elderly lady stocking shelves. She dropped an item, I picked it up for her. In a very feeble voice, she says thank you. I asked how old she was, in her late 80’s. We talked a minute or two, she is going through so much, trying to survive. I gave her a $100 bill, told her to get something she needed. Why is anyone this old, in the United States, working? Why do politicians insist on taking care of the rest of the world? I'll never understand it, they are suppose to work for us! Something needs to change. All I see is no respect, no discipline, no morals, want everything free! It's a damn shame! People wonder why I hate politicians so bad! We need term limits, NOW! I’m not a millionaire, struggle myself. But, I’ll be damned if I’ll watch an elderly person, near 90 years old do this shit, just to survive!

Imagine taking $253 million of federal money through 48 grants, and when the Inspector General shows up asking the most basic questions any bookkeeper would ask… did these people exist, were they eligible, did they get the training, were the wages real… you go dark for four months and then call the questions too intrusive. That is Minnesota. Tim Walz's Department of Employment and Economic Development sat on numerous requests for participant data on 26 grants worth $210,898,737 and handed over nothing, not a spreadsheet, not a file, nothing. Their excuse is privacy for 30,000 residents. Privacy? You took the money from the people of this country and now the people of this country are not allowed to see where it went? Here is the reality. The IG memo itself says the missing data does not by itself prove the money was misspent, fair enough, and yet it also says nobody can verify whether participants existed, whether they got the services reported, or whether the reported wages were accurate. When you refuse to let anyone check, you are telling us exactly what the books look like. Honest people do not hide receipts. Anthony D'Esposito called it deliberate obstruction and he is right. And keep in mind this is the same state that gave us Feeding Our Future, $250 million meant to feed needy kids gone out the door, in a state the administration says got bilked for as much as $9 billion. Walz walked away from his reelection bid saying he needed to focus on defending Minnesotans against the criminals who prey on their generosity… and his own agency cannot produce a single participant record for the auditors. How do you not see it? I have seen this movie over and over. The money comes out of your paycheck, runs through Washington, lands in a state agency, flows out to subrecipients nobody can name, and when someone finally asks, the answer is always the same… trust us, it is too sensitive to show you. You are the one paying for it, and you are the one they treat like you have no right to ask. Make no mistake, this is institutional rot and it is despicable. Subpoena every record, freeze these grants until every dollar is accounted for, and do not send one more cent to people who will not show the receipts. Pray, Stand, Speak, ACT. Love, What all of you good people are thinking

While the Somali Fraud gets all the headlines, people don't realize how lucrative we make it in Minnesota for the Somali's to come here, hate America and not work Say there is an Unemployed Somali Couple with 3 kids...here are the LEGAL benefits they get,(without ANY of the Fraud) Free housing (Up to $2500/mo) Roughly $2,000/month in cash and food benefits Full medical coverage for the whole family, Zero Out of Pocket Energy assistance grant for utilities. Covers most or all Discounted or free cell phone/internet via the Lifeline program WIC for young children and infants, plus free school meals $2500 a month for Daycare,(can be paid to the nieghbor) Oh and if the Kids are "Autistic" they get $990/mo for each, non taxed because its SSI So while we need to go after the Fraud, we also need to look at the LEGAL benefits we are providing to people that hate us and hate our country

One of the best aspects of being married... Someone who will tell you the hard truths when nobody else will. Case in point:
Nick Saban says he complained about how the media made him look like a bad guy until his wife asked if he’d ever watched his own press conferences “I used to come home and complain about it. I would say, ‘I don’t understand why I’m being sort of depicted this way when that’s not really who I am.’ And she said, ‘Do you ever watch yourself?’” “I said, ‘No.’ She said, Well, it comes from your press conferences. You know, you’re anxious. You don’t treat these people with much respect. You don’t have any relationships with them. You never smile…” “You never joke. You never make people feel a part of what you’re trying to do or respect what they’re trying to do, which is to promote your sport. So, what do you expect?” “And it really, really pissed me off that she said that because I didn’t realize that, but she was right.”

Every day, our culture hurdles gleefully to the brink of destruction. At some point, a majority of Americans picked a political party and that party told you to be afraid: if you don’t vote for them, the other party will win and ruin everything. And so, we cheered our party on. We ignored their moral depravity because they convinced us the moral depravity of the other guy is and will be worse. Your party made sure you were terrified and angry all the time about the other guy; they did this because frightened and angry people are easily led. We refused to demand better and now the chickens have come home to roost. You should read the headline of this article and be terrified of what’s coming, but you won’t. You’ve been trained to not think too deeply, particularly when it comes to questioning your own party. What is coming is death: The death of our beloved republic, the final death of what tiny, fractured consciences we have left. We pretended we could kill thousands of unborn children every day and not be broken by it. We pretended we could cheer on & justify those who opposed abortion, even if it was clear they were wicked. We pretended we could jump into war after war, breaking generations of men and women and never pay the price for it. The two parties only agree on three things: Debt is good War is perpetual The Jews are the bad guys. No matter who we vote for, we fall deeper into debt, bomb and kill more people in foreign countries and destroy the future for the next generation I beg is all to leave the matrix and embrace Christ. Embrace the dignity of the human person, from conception to natural death Refuse to be scared into voting for demons.

Asad Aliweyd, the spokesperson at Wednesday’s press conference, is the executive director of a nonprofit ordered to repay $1.1 million to the state for “fraudulent claims,” according to KARE 11’s own reporting. This was not mentioned in any Minnesota mainstream media report from yesterday, in case you were wondering.
Somali leaders cite American upbringing, gun violence and overworked parents amid gang shootings "This is not a Somali community [issue] … This is a gun violence issue," one speaker said. Another speaker, Asad Aliweyd, said: “This is not simply a Somali problem. It’s a youth violence and gun violence problem and we must address it together." Aliweyd is the executive director of a nonprofit that was ordered to pay back $1.1 million to the state for “fraudulent claims,” according to reports. He has not been charged with any crime.

Keith Ellison says Republicans mean to cheat in the midterms, and people should be "ready to protest, take to the streets." "Don't act like, oh, they couldn't mean that. They mean it...So be ready to get your dukes up." "I'm one who believes in peaceful protest, First Amendment." "But if they try to take our vote away, we should absolutely be in the street. And I'll be right out there with everybody else." So the sitting Minnesota AG is casting doubts on the legitimacy of the election before a vote is counted and warning about firing up street mobilization in response. Not too long ago, this kind of rhetoric was deemed by Democrats as A Threat To Democracy -- but now it's just boilerplate Democrat.

As Christa Pike, a woman who tortured a girl to death and took a piece of her victim’s skull as a trophy, receives life saving medical treatment following a botched execution, keep something in mind: many states in this country will not give medical treatment to a baby who survives abortion. In fact several states have specifically repealed laws requiring treatment for infants born alive after an abortion. And every single mainstream Democrat in the country opposes any law to protect infants who survive abortions. So this condemned murderer, who earned her execution through her own choices, is getting more humane treatment than infant children who were given a death sentence through no fault of their own. And every Democrat — every single one, no exceptions — empathizes far more with this murderer than with those babies.
