Minneapolis Forcing Owners of Businesses Destroyed in Riots to Pay Full 2020 Property Taxes Before They Can Rebuild

The city of Minneapolis lays in ruins after Antifa and BLM burned it to the ground.

If I'm being quite honest, I don't even know how the residents of the city can continue even surviving right now because I wouldn't imagine that there is enough food to go around at this point after grocery stores being burned down.

In total, there were more than 1500 businesses that were damaged or destroyed by the riots and now the city is putting a stumbling block in the way of those business owners that makes it difficult for them to rebuild.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports that Minneapolis city government is not issuing permits to remove ashes and debris leftover from arson attacks until business owners pay their 2020 taxes in full.

“In Minneapolis, on a desolate lot where Don Blyly’s bookstore stood before being destroyed in the May riots, two men finish their cigarettes and then walk through a dangerous landscape filled with slippery debris and sharp objects,” the Star-Tribune said Wednesday. “The city won’t let Blyly haul away his wreckage without a permit, and he can’t get a contractor to tell him how much it will cost to rebuild the store until that happens.”

Dozens of homes and businesses were destroyed in widespread looting in the days following George Floyd’s death. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, in a separate report, noted that 1,500 businesses were damaged and 150 were burned to the ground. TwinCities.com said, in June, that the damage could cost business owners as much as $55 million — and that was nearly two months ago.

This, of course, is the way that Democrats look at things. It's unfathomable that they even believe something like this is the right thing to do, or even that it works best.

This is by no means the way to run a business, much less an entire city.

It is no secret that Rep. Rashida Tlaib is anti-Semitic. She has made her feelings known time and time again. She hates Israel so much that she refuses to even celebrate the Israel and United Arab Emirates deal that makes a huge breakthrough for peace in the Middle East.

“We won’t be fooled by another Trump/Netanyahu deal,” Tlaib tweeted, “We won’t celebrate Netanyahu for not stealing land he already controls in exchange for a sweetheart business deal. The heart of the issue has never been planned, formal annexation, but ongoing, devastating apartheid.”

Auntie Maxine Predicts Kamala Harris 'will be President'

On Thursday, Rep. Maxine Waters predicted that Joe Biden's vice-presidential nominee Senator Kamala Harris would be president.

Sounds to me like she isn't so much "predicting" but rather telling us what will happen if Biden wins the presidency. We all know he is not competent enough to operate a microwave, let alone a whole country! Make no doubt about it, if Biden/Harris get in the door, Harris will be the one running the show.

Black Lives Matter Backs Down After Real Black Residents Force Them Out

The Black Lives Matter movement is not in any way about black lives actually mattering. At this point, it's a front for Antifa to attack people and destroy businesses all while hiding behind the curtain of "social justice".

The movement doesn't really care about black lives, the only thing they care about is being whining little brats. In fact, most of the "protesters" aka rioters are young white people.
