Why Minnesota?

Because Minnesota is a successful state with a great quality of life.

So naturally, it must be lied about, invaded by ICE thugs and beaten into submission.

Minnesota consistently ranks near the top nationally for performance and quality of life:

CNBC ranked it #6 for business in 2024³

#4 for quality of life in 2025⁴

#12 for education (CNBC, 2025)⁴

High educational attainment, with roughly 63% of young adults holding postsecondary credentials⁵

A strong GDP, multiple Fortune 500 headquarters, and a reputation for civic engagement and community cohesion

Ranked #4 overall by U.S. News & World Report¹

In other words, it’s a living counterargument to the narrative that progressive governance leads to decline.

Per your link

“Minnesota consistently ranks near the top nationally for performance and quality of life:”

In reality....

SNIP
“About 39 percent of working-age Somalis have no high school diploma, compared to just 5 percent of natives.
Among working-age adult Somalis who have lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years, half still cannot speak English “very well”.
About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent.
Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare.

SNIP
“A top prosecutor suggested on Thursday that the total amount of fraud in Minnesota could be $9 billion or more.

According to First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, 14 Medicaid services under audit and deemed "high risk" for fraud have cost the state $18 billion since 2018.

Thompson said a substantial amount of money billed across those programs is fraudulent, but the exact amount is still under investigation.”


Just think how better off Minnesota would be if not for the drain of tax payer money and used
wisely to better Minnesota

wzambon: Why Minnesota?

No, he wants a war. He wants to see that blue city on fire.

And he made Somalis the boogeyman of the moment.

He surged over 3,000 federal agents into a city that has a population of around 429,000. That's absurd.

Trumpedo has targeted Mexicans, Muslims, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and now "garbage" Somalis.

Trumpedo knows how to stir-up his racist base.

Although around 95% of Somalis in Minnesota (including Minneapolis) are U.S. citizens, Trumpedo's base doesn't care.

You can hear and see them blather on daily about Somalis stealing from Americans... when 95% of them in Minnesota are Americans.

Getting rid of Spankee would eliminate most fraud worldwide.

Yup. Minnesota is great except for the crazed asshole leftists ruining everything. Avoid them, it's a piece of cake.

Can be tough to do if they are stalking you and running you over in their SUVs though.

Yet they remain far above the red states in pretty much most categories. No wonder you are so envious.

jerryab,

You're a dum dum.

No one except brainwashed pretzel heads cares about "red" and "blue" states, or if you're involved in politics.

People are people.

Except, the core base of the Dem party aren't just abnormal people, they are anti-normal. They don't want to do their thing in peace and quiet and let others do the same.

Nope. They want to shove their opinions down everyone else's throats. And use the government to do it.

Try looking at people as people, not "red" this and "blue" that.

You can't.

You're anti-normal.

Describes Spankee and his religious zealots to a T.

MN lets you do what you want--as long as you don't interfere with other peoples' rights.

You'd be happier if you stayed away marco. They can easily ignore you though. Alabama is a good state for ya.
