Champlin Approves Resolution To Continue
Flying Old State Flag

Original Article

Posted By: J. Arthur Brown, 2/25/2026 10:02:09 AM

The City of Champlin voted 3-2 Monday night to continue flying the old Minnesota state flag at city-owned property. The vote came after a discussion which sharply criticized the process that was used to select the new state flag. (snip) Since its unveiling, the new flag has been routinely derided with many saying the old flag is superior. Many homes and local governments in Greater Minnesota do not fly the new state flag, and many Minnesotans have noted the new flag's resemblance to the Somali flag.

Comments:

In 2023 the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party super-majority in the Minnesota state legislature appointed a commission to design a new state flag and decreed that the commission's design would automatically become the new state flag without further legislative or popular input. There have been efforts to reinstate the old flag via a voter initiative on the November ballot.

It’s rather surprising that the Minnesota Democrats did not emblazon their new Minnesota flag with an Islamic Star and Crescent and a Mexican sombrero!

When I look at the new flag I see nothing related to Minnesota or the USA.

Wow, the Somalis have so totally taken over the state, that they made the state flag much like the Somali flag. And the new Minn flag is just pure ugly, too.

The new flag has a white star, and half is the same shade of blue as the Somali flag. The resemblance to the Somali flag is evident, but calling it a "strong resemblance" seems hyperbolic to me.

I am in a quandary. I wont fly Lee's battle flag because of the redneck connotations. I dont believe the Confederacy had a real official national flag, but the Bonnie Blue was the closest thing. Now I cant fly that because it is nearly identical to the Somali flag.

The new flag is a variation of the Somali flag, because the DFL party is beholding to the Somali colony that has been established in their state.

The new flag clearly symbolizes the Somali occupation of Minnesota and the capitulation and encouragement of Minnesota's democrat politicians and their fraud-ridden, Somali-infused voting majority in the state. Minnesota's large Native American population, their original Scandinavian immigrant settlers, and their "new" illegal immigrants from south of the border got shafted as the democrats cater to their preferred immigrants.

For historians of human enslavement -- and for black Africans more generally -- the recently concluded African Nations soccer cup revealed images of an ugliness that has roots in the Muslim world's trans-Saharan slave trade.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union speech gave every American a front-row seat to see exactly who Democrats are — and more importantly, what they refuse to stand for. According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished. And Trump noticed. He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments

The Democratic Party’s latest talking point against the SAVE Act is almost performance art in its absurdity. We are now expected to believe that birth certificates are mystical documents, whispered about in legend but never actually seen. They are simply too elusive for modern Americans to locate and too burdensome for a civilized society to require. Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have both recently claimed they do not know where their vital records are, as though those documents vanished into the same void as missing socks. “I don’t have my birth certificate,” Sanders said last week. “God knows how I get it.”

Literally, refusing to stand. The President challenged Democrats to affirm their support for the American people over illegal immigrants. And they just couldn't do it. "I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle," he said, glaring at the Democrat side of the room. "If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support." The principle?

It’s secured access to a breakthrough semiconductor technology that will power the next generation of American military systems. Fighter jets that outperform anything else in the sky. Missile defense that can track threats twice as far. Electronic warfare capabilities that protect our troops and keep them coming home. And it’s all being manufactured right here in America… with technology no one else can replicate. The technology is gallium nitride. And if you’ve never heard of it, you’re not alone.

As NASA eases its Artemis II rocket back to the hangar for repairs this week – the second launchpad delay this month – it raises the question of whether this government agency should be in the manned spaceflight business at all anymore. To say that the Artemis program – which has so far cost taxpayers more than $93 billion – has been plagued with problems is an understatement. It has been a case study in bureaucratic bumbling, one made more obvious when compared with the rapid advances achieved by private space companies such as SpaceX. Here’s a brief timeline.

It’s no secret that in today’s Hollywood, artistic risk-taking often comes second to woke ideological conformity. Censorship, virtue signaling, and overprescribed outrage have become show-business-as-usual. Studios trip over themselves to inject far-left political messaging into nearly every script, award shows have become lectures, and entire careers can be derailed by a single viral moment that stokes a campaign of indignation. The industry’s obsession has created a climate where self-censorship is the norm and challenging the narrative is a career hazard.
