Flying Old State Flag
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.

The revolutionary Iranian regime -- which may possibly find itself in a war with the United States in coming days -- has positioned itself as an adversary of the United States since it came into power decades ago in 1979. Much of the discussion (snip) has focused on the Iranian regime's nuclear program (snip) but not as much attention has been placed on a host of Iranian-directed terrorist attacks against U.S. troops, diplomats, and citizens which have killed hundreds of Americans.

As Minnesota finally moves to rein in an autism services program beset by accusations of fraud, lawmakers learned that nearly no one is rushing to comply. (snip) out of roughly 500 autism service providers billing Medicaid under the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) program, only six have applied for licensure (snip) providers must apply by May 31, disclose ownership, pass background checks, verify staff qualifications and demonstrate billing and documentation practices.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia's 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News. (snip) The new memos show that the Biden White House counsel's office gave Willis' prosecution team a major gift, waiving Trump's ability to claim executive privilege and block former administration officials from testifying.

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. As Senegal defeated host Morocco in the final, sections of the Moroccan crowd hurled racial insults at the Senegalese -- just as Algerian spectators had, earlier in the tournament, when their team was beaten by Nigeria. "Get the black slave," affronted Algerian soccer fans chanted.

President Donald Trump and his allies are launching a double-barreled U.S. census strategy that could eliminate a big electoral and federal funding mechanism for blue states: illegal immigrants. Missouri Attorney
General Katherine Hanaway said her office is asking the courts to bar the federal government from counting immigrants living in the country illegally when determining congressional representation and federal funding, a move she argued should shift political power among the states for decades.
San Francisco's controversial reparations initiative, formalized and signed by Mayor Dan Lurie on December 23, 2025, creates a dedicated Reparations Fund (essentially, a new City Hall-administered bank account) to dole out restitution to the city's Black residents which were victims of slavery, redlining, urban renewal, War on Drugs, and other qualifiers. (snip) the program's design creates a stark dilemma: it compels non-eligible residents, including a significant number of the city's black African Americans, to actually subsidize reparations benefits they themselves cannot access (snip)
JPMorgan Chase acknowledged for the first time that it closed the bank accounts of President Donald Trump and several of his businesses in the political and legal aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol, the latest development in a legal saga over the controversial practice of "debanking."

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is accusing the GOP-led House Oversight Committee of using her to "distract" from President Donald Trump during her high-stakes testimony in Congress' Jeffrey Epstein probe.

to Stand for Americans over Illegals Was ‘Racist’ 16 replies
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) says President Donald Trump’s asking lawmakers to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens was “thinly veiled racist language.”
During Trump’s first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term, he asked members of Congress to “stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
In response, all Republicans present stood for the statement, while no Democrats present stood up. Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.

We are nearly one week into Ramadan – the month-long commemoration of the time when Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad – and it sounds like Muslim public school students in Virginia are enjoying some serious Ramadan perks that don't seem to be offered to students of other religions when they celebrate their holiest days. One X account that tracks the political goings-on in the Charlottesville area discovered that local students who observe Ramadan are able to partake of special prayer rooms and can grab to-go meals before they depart school at the end of the day. The local CBS affiliate had glowingly reported
The Secret Service has removed a gun from the home of a Michigan man who said he wanted to “shoot” President Trump.
On Tuesday night, during a Warren City Council meeting, retired professor Wesley Arnold stated, “I ordered a high-powered ATL 36X arriving shortly, which I hope to actually use to shoot the president of the United States. I’m not kidding.”
He added, “This is a very high, powerful item. It’s great for a headshot at a distance. I didn’t want it to be delivered by drone because I wouldn’t want something like that to be in the wrong hands.”
Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds.
Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.

Sometimes all you can do is just shake your head. When you read about the tragic murder of young Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August 2025, and then find out that her killer had at least 14 prior arrests, you want to cry or bang your head against the wall.
The blue state style of justice brings one thing: victims of heartbreaking violence.
A recent decision by a parole board in Gavin Newsom’s California seems to say, “we don’t actually give a rat’s butt about the victims, both past and future, and the criminals’ lives are more important than your own.”
To wit:

It's an issue that seems to have no end. Illegal immigrants driving 80,000-pound, fully loaded 18-wheelers across the nation, who barely speak English and cannot read road signs. Dozens of Americans have been injured or killed on America's highways because of these illegal immigrants who entered the country because of Joe Biden's open border. It's one thing to read about these tragedies that never should have taken place. It is quite another when you see it happening. In this case, it is nothing short of a miracle that there was not another fatality.
National media coverage of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate campaign has led to direct confrontations with journalists, including the removal of an Atlantic reporter from a rally and a call to Capitol Police over a CNN reporter’s visit to a campaign office.
Semafor shared that security personnel directed Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey to leave a campaign rally for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas on Monday. The outlet wrote that Godfrey has reported on Crockett in depth and that the coverage appeared to “frustrate” the congresswoman. Crockett had previously agreed to participate in a profile with the reporter last year, but later informed her that she was “shutting down

I've got good news and bad news about AI. The good news is that the dreaded "Skynet" takeover of our nuclear weapons systems isn't going to happen soon. The bad news is that if it ever does give us a Terminator scenario, we're toast.
A war game exercise carried out by Kenneth Payne at King’s College London, using three teams running simulations on Chat GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 3 Flash. The teams "played 21 war games against each other over 329 turns," according to Implicator.AI's Marcus Schuler. "They wrote roughly 780,000 words explaining why they did what they did," he noted.

Colorado Democrats have filed a bill that could make it the first state to decriminalize prostitution, and critics warn that the bill would make the Centennial State the “Wild West” for purchasing sex and lead to an increase in human trafficking.
“We have a billion-dollar budget shortfall here in Colorado, and so there’s a lot of talk about budget and affordability and cost of living,” Jarvis Caldwell, the Republican minority leader in the state House of Representatives, told The Daily Signal in an interview Wednesday.
“This isn’t the Republicans’ idea of making things more affordable, by making it easier to sell yourself for
Democrats are scrambling to do damage control after refusing to stand when President Trump asked lawmakers to affirm that their duty is to the American people over illegal immigrants. As many people are already criticizing the party for walking into what many viewed as a carefully laid political trap.

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.
