Let the church burnings begin. The Anti Christ movement is coming into this era and it’s just the beginning of Christian persecution. Machine Waters expectations have been exceeded.

Very, very high concentration of Muslims in this area of Minneapolis. U of M also located here and Brooklyn Center is one town north of here, maybe 8 miles or less away. Perhaps the expected riots have begun. Minnesota nice my Aunt Fanny. Minnesota dumb is more like it.

At rate of buildings and businesses being burned when Chauvin is found innocent what will be left to loot and burn? From a space satellite Minnesota will just look black from out of space.

She's the famous Manhattan film critic who apocryphally said that she couldn't understand how anyone could vote to re-elect President Nixon in 1972, because she didn't know anyone. (Actually -- she did know one, but lost track of him.) She "lived in a rather special world," as she put it. Well, the New York Times still lives there, and appears to like being mired in the same Mr. Magooism. Latest nonsense from those heights comes from a big data-journalism-driven piece with three bylines and four contributors on vaccine hesitancy around the U.S., concluding that it's all those troglodytes who voted for President Trump
