Former BLM St. Paul Leader Says Organization Hurts Families
Minnesota | June 3, 2021
In a recent video from TakeCharge Minnesota, Rashad Turner, a former leader of Black Lives Matter explained why he left the organization. “I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies,” Turner said,
Black lives do matter. However, after a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding black families, and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis.
A year and a half after he founded the Saint Paul chapter of Black Lives Matter, Turner left and is now engaged in a movement that is seeking to rebuild families and expand access to quality education.
Until recently, Black Lives Matter stated on their website that one of their goals is to “disrupt the nuclear family.” This goal is incredibly harmful. The data shows that marriage reduces poverty in every racial demographic, and family breakdown consistently harms children and communities. Last year, World magazine’s Tim Lamer drew attention to the international data on fatherlessness, pointing out that throughout the world, fatherlessness hurts kids. Even if the economic disparities are removed, kids who grow up without a dad still face hurdles that their peers do not. No program can ever replace fathers…

VIMEO Cancels Mike Lindell’s My Pillow Account
Minnesota | May 16, 2021
100 Percent Fed Up reports – Christian, patriot, and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell will lose over $68 million+ this year alone, thanks to decisions by these big box stores to punish him for fighting to expose the election fraud in the November 2020 election.
Mike Lindell has been permanently suspended on Twitter and his Absolute Proof video has been removed from Vimeo and Google-owned YouTube. Why are social media bullies allowed to decide what Americans can or cannot see? Who made them the ultimate judge and jury about which news is acceptable and which news is unacceptable? When Americans flocked to YouTube, it was because their platform gave us a place to go to see original content—now, it’s a place where users go to view content big tech overlords have decided fits their narrative. YouTube has become anything but a free speech platform….

Thousands of Minnesotans Petition to Reinstall Columbus Statue
Minnesota | May 10, 2021
Almost 5,000 concerned Minnesotans signed a petition asking the governor to reinstall the statue of Christopher Columbus that was torn down by protesters last June. The statue was on display at the Capitol building for almost 100 years before being destroyed by members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) last summer.
The Center of the American Experiment recently delivered a petition to state leaders signed by thousands of Minnesotans who are demanding the statue be reinstalled on Capitol grounds.
“There should be a process for deciding the monuments, statues and artwork displayed at the Capitol and until that process is in place, the Columbus statue should be immediately returned to its pedestal,” the petition reads.
4,755 signatures were delivered to Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, and the Minnesota Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board. Ingebrigtsen previously introduced legislation to restore the Columbus statue.
“Rioters do not dictate the policies of our state, nor do their opinions and beliefs represent the views of every Minnesotan,” Ingebrigtsen said.
John Hinderaker, president of the Center of the American Experiment, said that Gov. Tim Walz’s failure to reinstall a statue toppled by rioters “sends the message that destruction of property is allowed as long as it fits a particular narrative.”
Petitioners are determined to show that “lawless mobs” shouldn’t be allowed to dictate which monuments are acceptable.
“Every day that goes by without returning the statue affirms the idea that lawless mobs can decide which monuments can stay and which can be torn down. This is not how a lawful society operates,” the petition states.
Activists with AIM caused an estimated $154,000 in damage to the statue, which was made from bronze and granite…

MyPillow’s Mike Lindell announced on April 15 that his new social media platform called “Frank,” with the mission of providing a place for free speech as laid out in the U.S. Constitution, will launch on April 19.
In a video statement, Lindell said he’s taken steps to make sure the site is most secure, with his own servers, and will not be subject to censorship on the whims of big tech companies such as Amazon and Google.
“And we are going to get our voice of free speech out there,” Lindell said. “On Monday morning at 9 a.m., we’re going to have the biggest launch. … I call it a Frank-a-thon.”
“I’m going to be on there live all day long. … It’s like a YouTube Twitter combination; you’ve never seen anything like it,” Lindell said of his new project…
