It’s every man for themselves in some cities nowadays, but especially in Minneapolis because the city government has decided that they’re basically giving up on trying to fight crime.
Robbery and carjackings have gone through the roof in Minneapolis ever since the rioting started and instead of trying to do something about it, they’re just telling residents to give up.
The Minneapolis Police Department has issued a series of tips for residents to limit their risk of robbery:
- Do not walk alone
- Be hyper-aware of your surroundings at all times – pay attention!
- Carry only items you need, and carry less cash
- Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet
- Have keys already in your hand as you approach your car
- Despite all our efforts, robberies may still occur! Do not argue or fight with the criminal Do as they say. Your safety is most important!
- Be a good witness. When you call 911, be prepared to answer many questions. How many suspects? Age, height, complexion, hair and eye color? Scars or tattoos? Weapon- what did it look like? What direction did they leave in? Vehicle description?
Keep in mind that this email comes after the Minneapolis City Council voted in favor of taking action to defunding the police department. You can’t just get rid of important things like the police without having a plan of action ready to take place, yet that’s what they’re doing.
The email also lists suggestions for avoiding a carjacking, such as “never leave anything of value in your car,” and “never leave your car running unattended,” since many whose cars have been stolen were dropping off food or other deliveries.
President Donald Trump blamed the chaos in Minneapolis at the time on “a total lack of leadership,” and accused the rioters of being thugs who “are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd[.]”
I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right.
These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
You’ll recall that this was the controversial tweet that was censored for allegedly violating “the Twitter rules about glorifying violence.”

NYC Mayor: I’m Laying Off 22,000 City Workers Unless We Get Fed Bailout (VIDEO)
There is a reoccurring trend I see in cities run by Democrats: destroy the city, trash the president, and then beg for a bailout….if the president will not give a bailout, make ultimatums and throw tantrums.

Trump Campaign Now Encouraging Supporters to Wear Masks
Hmmm, I never expected President Donald Trump to encourage people to wear masks, even though he’s admitted that they can cause problems.
The president’s campaign sent out an email on Monday stating that wearing masks is “something we should all try to do.”
Planned Parenthood: ‘We’re Keeping PPP Funds’ Ordered to be Returned by SBA
Two Texas Planned Parenthood facilities declared that they will be keeping the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds they were ordered to return by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
“We have no plans to return these essential funds,” said Jeffrey Hons, CEO of the San Antonio Planned Parenthood clinic. The Houston location also said they will be keeping the funds, according to reports. That mean they are each keeping between $1-$2 million that was issued by the PPP coronavirus relief program to each clinic.

BOOM! Proof That Donald Trump Was Not Involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s Child Sex Trafficking Ring
Ever since Jeffrey Epstein was arrested last year, Democrats have been trying to tie President Trump in with the sex trafficking scandal as an abuser.
They haven’t had any evidence, of course, but we already know that they don’t care about evidence. The only thing they have been going off of is that there are a few photos of Donald Trump taken with Jeffrey Epstein.
Former Governor Ready to Launch A Third Party Campaign Three Months Before Election
Here we are just 3 months away from the election but if you thought there weren’t going to be any more surprises, well then you thought wrong.
We know what to expect for the most part though. Republicans are going to side with President Trump, and Democrats are going to be split into all sorts of directions. They’re not all behind Joe Biden. In fact, many are in support of President Trump.
