When former presidents, Bill Clinton & Barack Obama organized presidential events in Minneapolis, the local govt encouraged police officers to attend in uniform, as ambassadors of the city. But when President Trump arrives this Thursday, all city police officers will be banned from wearing their police uniforms at any of the venues involved in the major events.
Donald Trump has scheduled a major rally at the state's largest NBA arena, the Target Center(20k seats). It's not Trump's first or 2nd political event in the Gopher State. He's held massive rallies in Duluth & Rochester. But now he's ready to bring his political power to the vastly far left bastions of the Twin Cities (Mpls & St Paul). The Mpls Police Union has responded with a move of their own. They commissioned a red tee shirt design in the classic red with a Minnesota silhouette. the simple bold text says; "Cops For Trump". It's also possible that a legal suit will be filed against the city on first amendment grounds. |

The 14th Amendment enhances 1st amendment rights to free expression. When any govt. restricts individual liberties, the law must not be arbitrary or capricious. So when a leftist govt. makes one standard for when a president is Democrat, but another standard when the president is Republican, that behavior is usually struck down and even punished with contempt punishment.
Trump narrowly lost the Minnesota vote in 2016. He won all but a handful of the counties, but Mpls and St Paul went heavily for Clinton by massive margins. Shortly after taking office, Trump imposed tariffs on imported steel. The move gave a huge boost to Northern Minnesota's iron range. the Dem. congressman for the iron range (a DFL stronghold) cheered Trump's move and worked with him to implement it. When Congressman Nolan retired the CD8 seat, it went Republican and much of the state is solidly 'red'. The Trump Great Lakes electoral strategy caught Clinton by surprise in 2016. As Wisconsin, Michigan, & Pennsylvania went 'red' along with Ohio & Indiana, the Trump victory was secured. If Minnesota is added to that voting block, the GOP 2020 strategy will be even stronger. |

We reached out to the Target Center when we discovered that they did not create a social media event posting on their Facebook page? they have events posted for every other event listed in the next year. they said;
" Hi.. Artists/speakers/tours typically create a Facebook event on their end and add us (Target Center) as a co-host." We were shocked and replied with; "So you don't create events on your own page, as a policy? You let your clients write your events for you? I'm wondering how this event ever got posted, if you don't create andy events? You're the only entity listed for this UFC event... https://www.facebook.com/events/403352690220728/" We're still waiting for a further rationale or reply.... |
