Greetings, Dear Reader,

Last night on the drive home, I was telling my wife that as I watched the events in Minneapolis unfold, I couldn’t get one particular Bible verse out of my head.

“You shall know them by their fruits.”

We’re going to get after it, but first …

DEAR TRUMP, THE TIME HAS COME

Mayor Jacob Frey says his constituency wants him to deploy Minneapolis law enforcement “to fight” ICE in the streets.

His police chief looked absolutely sick to his stomach as Frey announced his citizenry’s desire to make civil war a reality.

“Enter ye in at the narrow gate: For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction.”

Frey’s comments follow Gov. Tim Walz issuing a “warning order” to the Minnesota National Guard to prepare to deploy to Minneapolis. He was careful about his statement on the matter, noting that they would be deployed to “protect” protesters. Perhaps all they’d do is cordon off ICE operations. That would help. I’m not apt to be that charitable to Walz, though. Like much of the political right, I take his statement as a threat to interdict legitimate federal operations.

Perhaps both Walz and Frey are looking for anything to distract from the burgeoning fraud investigations occurring in their front yard. If even half of it is true – that Walz knew and suppressed investigations, that members of the administration doctored documents, that Keith Ellison is literally on tape promising to end investigations into donors – then........
