Peace

In the wake of the tragic fatal shootings in Minneapolis involving federal immigration agents, Minnesota communities are experiencing widespread unrest, protests, and deep divisions. Two U.S. citizens — Renée Good and Alex Pretti — have been killed during federal immigration enforcement operations, sparking ongoing demonstrations and a statewide general strike. Local business leaders have publicly urged calm and de-escalation amid rising tensions. 

At a time of heightened emotion and public concern, it is vital that state and local officials exercise leadership that strengthens peace, upholds the rule of law, and protects every citizen’s safety. To that end, officials should:

Temper inflammatory or polarizing political rhetoric that may broaden conflict or deepen distrust between community members and law enforcement, including rhetoric that is perceived as antagonistic toward federal law enforcement entities or specific groups. Work collaboratively with law enforcement at all levels to enforce existing curfews, maintain public order, and ensure that protests and gatherings remain peaceful and lawful. Peaceful protest is a protected right — but safety for all participants, bystanders, and residents must be prioritized. Facilitate clear and consistent communication to the public about expectations for conduct, curfew hours, and legal boundaries, reducing confusion and enabling peaceful civic engagement. Support transparent investigation and accountability for the use of force in these incidents, recognizing legitimate concerns while ensuring due process and respect for constitutional protections.

A leadership posture grounded in unity, respect for legal process, and commitment to public safety will help restore calm and foster a constructive environment for both accountability and healing.

Hope, Reason, Faith in a time of Crisis

Keep in mind on any threat

–God has our back no matter what-the exit from this life is death no matter when it happens-be depending on Jesus for your correct exit strategy

-the country survived the 1918, 1957, 2009, and 2017 flu pandemics

– the models are being adjusted downward each day or week as real data comes in, the models were 100% wrong and created bad general public policy decisions based on fear. we were going to have millions dead in the USA even with social lockdowns, now the ‘models’ predict less than 60,000 may die by early fall. That is a bad flu season that never gets much news coverage.

– the CV19 is bad if you get sick from it in some cases. Most people do not get sick after exposure. Most do not even know they have been exposed. if you are over 55, take extra precautions.

-we are better connected exponentially than ever before, there is a -nobel prize race occurring globally to develop vaccines and therapy/antidotes. Those who are at risk and get critically sick are being treated successfully in many cases.

–We are resilient, ignore fear, pray, wash your hands, if you feel sick call a doctor. Be calm and continue. Fear leads always to bad decisions.
