The Minnesota State Patrol stopped hundreds of drivers and arrested scores over the weekend after warning it would clamp down on illegal street racing and violent crime in Minneapolis. After a night of lawlessness on July 4 that included motorists shooting fireworks at other vehicles, high-rise condos, pedestrians and even first responders in Minneapolis' Mill District, Department of Public Safety (DPS) Commissioner John Harrington said the agency, which includes the State Patrol, would put extra troopers on Minneapolis streets Friday and Saturday nights.(Snip)"Troopers from across Minnesota assisted and are thankful for the local law enforcement support they received while working." On Friday night, troopers stopped 279 drivers

Comments:

Minneapolis achieved the dream of uncontrolled lawlessness by defunding, demonizing, and chasing off its police force, and now so police resources from the rest of the state need to be brought in, at state expense. And they keep electing communists to lead them.

They were breaking up the George Floyd Memorial Speed Nite festivities. Waiting for the demographics to show the proportion of black to white drivers pulled over, ticketed, and arrested...and then for the DOJ civil rights vultures to move in. Frankly, Minneapolis deserves whatever comes its way - they asked for it. So now the state picks up a chunk of the tab Minnie citizens won't pay.

It seems like the police ignore the lawlessness until their the one's who are attacked.

Ok so they made all these arrests. Have they been held for further judicial proceedings or are they in the "no bail" demographic?

We used to drag race when we were teenagers but we went out (farther) in the country to one of the 3 or 4 spots where there were straight runs of 3/4-mile or so and no traffic. These 'folks' seem to prefer heavily trafficked downtown areas. Different strokes.

California cops found an elaborate homeless bunker filled with more than $100,000 in stolen goods and guns. San Jose police on Tuesday shared photos of some of the loot stashed in the underground encampment—including three shotguns and boxes of ammo. The main bunker had wooden beams, walls and a ceiling, with electrical wires the force said appeared to be “plugged into somebody else’s source.” “The stolen tools, equipment, and firearms will be returned to the victims,” the force said, noting that already “approximately $100,000 worth of stolen goods were returned to the owner/victim.”(Snip)Wide swaths of California have seen a rise in crime linked to homeless people

A California bill signed into law Tuesday will allow residents to sue the manufacturers of guns that are used in crimes. A 2005 federal law prevents gun manufacturers from civil litigation when their products are used in crimes. The office of Gov. Gavin Newsom said the new state law uses an exemption to the federal law that allows firearms makers or sellers to be sued for violating state laws on the sale or marketing of guns. “To the victims of gun violence and their families: California stands with you. The gun industry can no longer hide from the devastating harm their products cause,” Mr. Newsom said in a news release.

Lawmakers in Washington want to give the U.S. more power to confront OPEC for allegedly colluding to hike global oil prices, but the effort faces stiff opposition and also contrasts with President Biden‘s plan to ask the cartel’s Saudi leader this week to increase oil production. The legislation, an antitrust measure dubbed the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act or NOPEC, would arm the Justice Department with the power to sue OPEC or other countries that do business with it. The bill has been kicked around Capitol Hill for decades but garnered new interest ahead of Mr. Biden‘s trip this week to the Middle East,
Halt use of biofuels to ease food crisis,

Governments should put a moratorium on the use of biofuels and lift bans on genetic modification of crops, a green campaigning group has urged, in the face of a growing global food crisis that threatens to engulf developing nations. Ending the EU’s requirement for biofuels alone would free up about a fifth of the potential wheat exports from Ukraine, and even more of its maize exports, enough to make a noticeable difference to stretched food supplies, according to analysis by the campaign group RePlanet. About 3.3m tonnes of wheat were used in 2020 as feedstock for EU biofuels, and Ukraine’s 2020 wheat exports came to about 16.4m tonnes.

The Brittney Griner story has been one which tears at us from two sides. When we hear about an American being detained in a foreign country for offenses which are considered minor here in the U.S., we often become sympathetic, depending on the infraction, of course. And when we learn that the country holding that prisoner is an archrival or enemy such as China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, our sympathies become that much stronger. In the case of Brittney Griner, however, things aren’t that simple. Griner, who has been detained in a Russian prison since her arrest at a Moscow airport for possession of cannabis oil

A majority of Democrat voters say the Supreme Court should be abolished for its racist and misogynistic practices, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Heartland Institute. In addition, 54 percent of young people aged 19 to 39 concur, regardless of their political association. The survey of 1,025 U.S. voters was divided among party lines, with 53 percent of Democrats in favor of abolishing the current Supreme Court and replacing it with a “new, democratically elected . . . court with justices chosen by the American people directly,” and 33 percent “strongly” in favor. Only 21 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents favored the ill-advised proposition.

Pro-abortion fanatic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has called to shut down crisis pregnancy centers “all around the country” for their work in helping women seek alternatives to abortion. Speaking with reporters, a visibly upset Warren falsely accused crisis pregnancy centers of fooling women out of getting an abortion: In Massachusetts, right now, those ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ that are there to fool people who are looking for pregnancy termination help outnumber true abortion clinics by 3-t0-1. We need to shut them down here in Massachusetts and we need to shut them down all around the country.

Democrats are facing their worst political environment in over a decade heading into November’s mid-term elections. Republicans lead the generic ballot and hold a solid structural advantage in competing for the House of Representatives. And despite concerns about candidate quality, the GOP is also favored to take control of the Senate. The correlation between presidential approval and their party’s mid-term prospects also can’t be ignored. Joe Biden has hit the lowest poll numbers of his term, with a recent Times/Siena poll showing him at just 33 percent approval with only 13 percent believing the country is on the right track.

The outlet reported that 27-year-old Gershon Fuentes confessed to raping the ten-year-old child on at least two occasions.
