Enough is enough. The mobs in Minnesota are not exercising free speech – they are actively and aggressively interfering with law enforcement operations, blatantly obstructing justice, and viciously assaulting law enforcement officers and independent journalists. The rioters are out of control, but worse are the Minnesota elected officials calling for more rebellion against federal law enforcement, vowing to NOT abide by federal laws, and insisting peace will only be restored when the federal government leaves Minnesota.

The insurrectionists in Minnesota from Governor Walz and Mayor Frey to the imported and paid rioters roaming the streets are extorting Americans. Frey and others are telling the rest of the country that they want to be left in peace to continue harboring criminals, breaking immigration law, and defrauding the nation of billions, or the rioting and violence will continue. Declaring that Minnesota can pick and choose which laws to follow is brazen, crazy, and dangerous.

How is that different than the Confederate States declaring they will just keep their slaves and the federal government can take a hike? Folks, the official rhetoric and unofficial violence from Minnesota have gone beyond disagreement and dispute; this is open rebellion – it’s insurrection! And it must be put down.

This is the illegality and insanity of sanctuary cities and states. They have been defying federal law for years because of complicit Democrats, and cowardly Republicans let it slide. It started as erosion of the rule of law, but now the radicals want to eliminate the rule of law. We should have never tolerated the disobedience that now sprouts as insurrection.

Why are average Minnesota citizens ignored? Their safety and well-being are never mentioned. Minnesota Democrats have no attention and little concern for victims of illegal migrant crime, but they are fighting fiercely to keep illegal migrant murderers, rapists, and thieves in their cities. Why are regular folks not speaking up and why are their leaders choosing the criminal illegal migrants over their constituents?

The short answer is that average folks are busy and misled; and their elected leaders need the illegal Somali block votes and defrauded taxpayer funds to fill their coffers. The Democrat Media Complex is outright lying to the public. First, they hide the fact that most of the illegal migrants apprehended by ICE are serial and violent criminals; then they flat-out lie that American citizens are being arrested and others are tortured and murdered to inflame their base.

The paid protestors invading Minnesota may claim to be ANTIFA ("Anti-Fascist"), but they are adept at fascist tactics. They are physically attacking law enforcement and independent journalists to impede ICE operations and keep the truth from being reported. They throw hard objects and shoot fireworks at officers, and they assault and threaten any journalist who doesn’t report on them favorably.

Anything but peaceful, protestors also intimidate any citizens they think are not compliant. A rabid unruly mob interrupted a church service and maliciously harassed the congregants, including frightened children. Democrats leapt to defend the protesters, claiming it’s just free speech. Notice that for Democrats, only radical leftists have free speech rights. They don’t understand they may have the right to scream stupidity, but the rest of us have the right not to be forced to listen to their bone-headed bovine scatology.

The legacy media is purposely fomenting unrest; and Democrat officials are tirelessly trying to protect the criminals. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is on tape telling Somali fraudsters that he will make some calls to get investigators to back off! Even worse, Walz and Frey are inciting violence and obstructing law enforcement by telling protestors to continue interfering with ICE and swearing they will not back down!

Holy buckets! The Governor and Mayor are not just enabling federal laws breakers; they are encouraging and supporting them. Again, why? Because they are guilty of exploiting Somalis for votes and then turning a blind eye to their manifest fraud and probably taking bribes. The DOJ must thoroughly investigate this hot mess in Minnesota and if the violence does not end immediately, President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act and restore order.

Notice that ICE operations in red states are successful and safe; it’s only in blue states that we have trouble and violence because they refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement. They are and have been violating federal immigration law; it must be stopped or it will tear the country apart when the rule of law, any law, is undermined and no longer uniform.

President Trump must put down this insurrection, or this criminal contagion will spread to every blue city and state until the republic is torn asunder. Sadly, that’s precisely the goal of the radical leftists that have hijacked the Democrat Party.

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.” Romans 13:1-2
