MN Lt. Gov. & US senate candidate:
With all due respect to FPC, our enemies HAVE been stacking up, very aggressively and effectively I might add.
If effective means inflicting maximum pain to demoralize and conquer an existing population.
They butcher our unborn, mutilate the genitals of minors with sick surgeries and mind warping artificial hormones, then target children in a church to exterminate them.
This is but one branch of a tree of tyranny that would make Jefferson's list of the King's outrages look like a mildly worded letter of disapproval.
Are we going to lift a finger to save ourselves, or are all those 500 million firearms, what I have suspected all along?
Fancy doorstops and expensive hole punchers.

Shooting civil war between the left and right in America, there is no doubt that the right would win. I don't see that coming, it will just be the same old talk forever.

This definitely won't happen. While the talking would go on forever if it were up to the national GOP, the reality is that this country is coming under forcing functions that were not present in prior decades. While we have been frittering away the national inheritance on coke and hookers, China has been investing and re-investing in itself. Leaving aside the folly of communism, hard work is the only thing that makes this world go round -- and they're putting in the hard work.
Unbeknownst to the plutocrats in DC, the US has not gone soft. DC has gone soft. American throughout the rest of "flyover country", however, get up every day and bust their asses on farms, on oil fields, on electric-line maintenance, and on and on. America's economy is deathly ill but that's only because DC is a poison-dart in its jugular. Remove the dart, and the patient will begin recovery immediately.
One thing the radical Left has correct: the time for talking is coming to an end. It will soon come to an end.

The time for action is coming, but it will not be the bloodbath that either the far Right or far Left imagine (sorry, there will be no "What kind of American are you?") God has been preparing the final takedown for 2,000 years. Hold the line...
Do you think that Jesus will be saying "Well done, good and faithful servant" to the neoCONs and their lapdogs in the GOP?

yep. fools talk

Guns causing children to die is just a story.
And once you realise this, it has no power over you.
Its psychological warfare.
They tell you a story and convince you to surrender your rule over your country and your liberty.
What story will it take for them to tell you in order for you surrender your liberty?

Walz to call special session on gun control, propose assault weapons ban
https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/...n-on-gun-control-propose-assault-weapons-ban/
{Michelle Griffith | 02 September 2025}
Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday said he will call a special session for Minnesota lawmakers to vote on a package of gun control measures, although passage seems unlikely in a closely divided Legislature.
Walz, after welcoming Deerwood Elementary School students to their first day of school in Eagan, said Minnesota needs to take action following a mass shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis that killed 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski and wounded 21 others last week.
“If Minnesota lets this moment slide and we determine that it’s okay for little ones to not be safe in a school environment or a church environment, then shame on us,” Walz said. “I’m going to call (lawmakers) back.”
The governor said he will release a gun control package this week that will include an assault weapons ban.
Walz said he plans to call a special session even if he gets zero commitments from Republicans to vote for his gun control measures.
Republicans — led by Speaker Lisa Demuth and who are strongly aligned with the gun rights movement — have 67 members in the House, while Democrats have 66 in their ranks following the June assassination of Democratic-Farmer-Labor caucus leader Melissa Hortman.
Walz and DFL lawmakers are hoping the shooting of a church filled with schoolchildren would pressure Republicans to accede to new laws. A special election to replace Hortman in safely blue District 34B is Sept. 16.
The special session will force Republicans to vote on gun control a little more than a year from a crucial midterm election when all 201 legislative seats will be on the ballot.
“When (Republicans) talk to the parents of these children and they hear the public speaking out, they get to make a decision. Are they going to stand in the way of having an honest debate? Now, we might not get it done in there, but the idea that you would not even come back and make a debate, I think, is untenable,” the governor said.
A majority of Minnesotans supported banning assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines in a MinnPost poll from 2022.
Democrats had full control of the Legislature in 2023 and 2024, but they failed to pass a statewide ban on assault weapons. They did pass a slate of other gun control measures, however. They instituted an extreme risk protection order, or “red flag,” law that allows family members or police to ask judges to take guns from people deemed a danger to themselves or others and passed universal background check requirements.
Although a special legislative session would force Republicans to take potentially difficult votes on gun regulation, it would also give them an opportunity to propose legislation of their own. Although only the governor can call the Legislature into special session, only lawmakers have the power to adjourn.
Republicans are already signaling they will make a special session about culture war issues given the Annunciation Church shooter’s apparent trans identity.
Rep. Drew Roach, R-Farmington, said in a press release that he will propose a bill repealing a ban on conversion therapy if lawmakers are called into a special session. The law, passed in 2023, prohibits mental health professionals from providing therapy that seeks to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
House Speaker Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring, in a statement said Walz hasn’t reached out to her about a special session.
“As disappointing as it is that the governor is doing this in such an overtly political way, House Republicans stand ready to protect students and schools,” Demuth said. “I hope we can have a real conversation about all aspects of safety – including things like the school security funding that was denied by the DFL trifecta in 2023 and more funding for desperately needed mental health resources – instead of vague demands for policies that have not stopped gun violence in other states.”
Walz cautioned Republicans to keep a special session focused on gun control.
“If we call a special session, and (Republicans) decide to deflect this to something else, my guess is that that Minnesotans are not going to be too happy about that,” Walz said.
The governor on Tuesday said he’s open to proposing more resources for mental health in his gun control package, but guns are the culprit in mass shootings.
“I am not going to allow anyone to try and make the case that the United States is unique in either mental health issues or other things,” Walz said. “The thing that makes America unique in terms of shootings is we just have more guns and the wrong types of guns that are on the streets.”
Walz didn’t provide a timeline for when he plans to call lawmakers back to session, but he will likely wait at least until the House returns to a tie after the Sept. 16 special election.
