Minneapolis business owner to politicians: 'You can only heap so much on us before we collapse' | Alpha News MN

"They, I believe, are more interested in adhering to some ridiculous pie-in-the-sky ideology than actually focusing on making coalitions between different groups and functioning on real-world problems," Dr. Moe Smith said of the city's leaders. - Dr. JC Chaix and Liz Collin

Dr. Moe Smith has practiced chiropractic and wellness care in Minneapolis for more than 20 years — and has owned Moe Bodyworks in Uptown for 15 years.

• After years of success, however, she’s lost more than 75% of her business since the George Floyd riots in 2020.

She wrote:

• “There is virtually no business at this intersection that has not experienced a break-in, attempted break-in, theft, vandalism, property damage, or another serious public safety problem within the past several years. 
• This is not one business complaining about a single unfortunate incident. It’s an entire commercial intersection experiencing repeated crime and deterioration.”
• Smith said her clinic was ransacked twice, fires have been started near her building, her car was broken into, drugs and drug paraphernalia have been routinely left on her property, and the front entrance has been smashed during break-ins...

'No safety knowledge': Illegal alien captaining overloaded boat arrested for killing mom and baby * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

'No safety knowledge': Illegal alien captaining overloaded boat arrested for killing mom and baby * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

The fact that the "captain" is an illegal alien, the report said, "is the whole story." He came into the U.S. by telling Customs and Border Protection he was a U.S. citizen, even though he wasn't. "He drove limousines. He worked for a tour outfit. Then he started running unlicensed harbor trips, including on a friend's boat he had not registered and was not certified to operate with paying customers. That is what sanctuary culture produces. A man who commits fraud at the border gets a job, a boat, and a night on the water with a baby in his care. No Coast Guard ticket. No infant flotation devices on board. According to the complaint, he told passengers they did not even need life jackets," the report charged.

"Professor Reich has a documented history of “inventing dialogue” when the truth doesn’t fit his narrative, a habit that forced him to rewrite his memoir after the media exposed his fabrications.

Bill Brindley - Scott Bessant responds to Little Robert Reich:... | Facebook - Bill Brindley

Scott Bessant (US Sec. Treasury) responds to Little Robert Reich:

Once again, the professor has come up short…
His latest screed is an impressive display of economic prestidigitation.

• He concedes that wages are growing faster for low-income workers and then attempts to bury that dispositive fact beneath nearly 2,000 words.
• Bank of America data show that spending among lower- and middle-income households has converged toward levels at the top as they lead labor market gains...

Trump is right about the Smithsonian. Canada shows what happens when woke history wins. | Blaze Media: 

When institutions teach citizens that history should be understood primarily through political categories of oppression and identity, they don't merely reinterpret the past. They can change the standards by which claims about the past are evaluated in the present. Evidence becomes secondary to narrative; skepticism becomes hostility. And eventually questioning an officially favored interpretation can itself become evidence of moral guilt. So when Trump demands balance and historical accuracy from the Smithsonian, remember the Canadian example.

Game-changer??!!-----Deployable Energy’s new compact nuclear reactor

In the photo you can see Deployable Energy’s first reactor being trucked to Idaho National Laboratory to be tested. Their reactor first went critical on June 30, 2026.  - Andy May

The reactor was produced under President Trump’s 2025 nuclear reactor plan. 

It was designed by Australian Bobby Gallagher and his team in Houston. 

• It can produce one megawatt of power, at a cost of 15 cents per kilowatt hour, for five years before refueling is required. 
• The entire reactor can fit on the bed of a Ford F150 pickup, as shown in the photo. 
• More importantly, it can be manufactured in a factory, fits into one 20-foot shipping container, uses the existing conventional supply chain, and requires no exotic custom-made components...

Hilarious!

 

What do you think? Is Musk right? Should Chavin be released, or do these facts even matter?

Fast Facts - Christina Aguayo News

Fast Facts: 

• Chauvin called an ambulance at the first sign of distress, the Ambulance was minutes away but delayed pick up because they were scared of the crowd - parking for 17 minutes at a nearby location, George Floyd arrived at the hospital alive, & was alive for 41 minutes after Chauvin's restraint ended.
• #Minnesota
• Floyd had 11 ng/mL fentanyl in his system, levels as low as 3 ng/mL have been certified as fatal overdoses in other cases.
• Dr. Andrew Baker said that if Floyd had been found dead at home with no other factors, an overdose ruling would have been reasonable...

What the media is hiding from us!-----Canada's PM Carney called back his negotiating team and the US has gone ahead with the tariffs that were threatened: a new 50% tariff on about 5% of the products that Canada exports to the United States..

Let's talk about fairness here.  - John F. Di Leo

• President Trump's main goal is no secret: reduce everyone's imports from China; make more countries do more of their own manufacturing, and reward them for doing so.
• But Canada (and Mexico too, incidentally) have continued to outsource more and more to China over the past couple of decades (that's what put NAFTA/USMCA in jeopardy), and this current negotiation was in part about the domestic content as well.

Let's talk about fairness here. 

• If we're setting huge tariffs on direct imports of Chinese goods into the USA, and Canada sends mostly-Chinese products into the USA at low tariffs, that's not fair at all, is it?...

What should actually be their "fair share"? 150%?

 

After Cambridge Academic Commits Suicide Over Being Exposed as Fraud, Activists Call for 'Arday's Law' to Limit Free Speech and Honest Reporting

Now that he has killed himself because someone finally reported on his misdoings, some in the United Kingdom want to change the law so that you can’t tell the truth about someone who isn’t telling the truth, or who is doing other things they shouldn’t be doing.

In other words, your free speech should end where a famous person’s feelings might theoretically begin.

Mass hysteria!-----Today's Deeeeeep Question: Did Trump Slip Biden a Mickey at the Debate? -Ed Morrissey

When I say "Deeeeeep," I of course mean deeeeeeply stupid.

• Biden Inc has spent the last two years attempting to spin the collapse of the cover-up of Joe Biden's cognitive incompetence in office, to no avail. 
• The exposure of Biden's cognitive incapacity shocked no one who had watched Biden during the entirety of his presidency, at least since the Easter Bunny ordered him off a rope line in April 2022... 

Yesterday...Jamie Kern Lima broached the subject in her tete-a-tete with the former First Lady, and the two of them mulled over the excuses, er, possible explanations for Joe's disastrous debate performance. 

• When Lima suggests that someone may have drugged Biden's drink before the debate, Jill Biden responds, "Who knows, right?"

Fidel Castro: Human Garbage | International Liberty - International Liberty - Dan Mitchell

Though I’ve always thought the most-damning visual came from the Economist, which compared labor productivity in various Latin American nations... 

As you can see, workers are very poor because it’s almost impossible to be productive in a socialist system.
For purposes of today’s column, however, I don’t want to focus on Cuba’s economic performance.
Instead, I want to condemn the dictator who has caused that nation’s economic misery.

• He oppressed them and stole from them...
