Anniversary of George Floyd's death, what are they celebrating?

While there is nothing to celebrate about George Floyd's death, there is certainly nothing to celebrate about George Floyd's life. 

Today there are 'celebrations,' commemorations, and even forced moments of silence in our Minnesota Public Schools. Even a trip to the White House for the Floyd family and their now wealthy lawyer.

Ask yourself as parents, is this a life you want your children to emulate? Do you want them to emulate his history of armed robbery? Prison stints? Drug abuse? His last day dying in police custody after passing counterfeit $20 bills?

For the last year I've heard that somehow his death and the conviction of Officer Chauvin was a vindication of 'systemic racism.' 

Can anyone tell me how race even factored into this? If it did I'm sure Keith Ellison would have charged it out as a racially motivated hate crime. He didn't. Yet MN Governor Walz and many others are touting this as something that focused the 'World' on systemic racism.

No, it's a tragic death to a tragic life being exploited for political purposes.

There is nothing to celebrate.

In the wake of the Supreme Court Decision taking the Federal Government out of Abortion and returning it to the States, Minnesota Governor Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison had some interesting statements.

The same Governor Walz that supports mandatory vaccines of National Guard soldiers. The same Governor Walz that remained silent as 700 Mayo clinic workers and hundreds of other healthcare workers in Minnesota lost their jobs. Those women and men certainly had no right over their bodies according to Gov. Walz. Their bodily autonomy

Stand Against the Big Auto Lobby

  Every year there are thousands of automobile deaths on American roads. According to the NHTSA there were 28,190 deaths in 2020 alone.  11,654 of those involved alcohol ! Every year thousands die as a result of legally sold automobiles and legally purchased alcoholic beverages. Not to mention intentional homicides committed with cars like at the Christmas parade in Waukesha Wisconsin where over 60 people were targeted .   5 people were killed and 40 injured in a racially motivated  automobile attack. The driver Darrell Brooks posted repeatedly on social media his hatred for white people and wishes to harm them. Brooks mother says her son, the driver was mentally ill. Did no one see or report the Red Flags?  I’d like to propose a few Common Sense Automobile laws . 1.             Statistics show young drivers have the most accidents. I’d propose the legal age for operating an automobile to be raised to 25 when the brain is fully developed. 2.             Before someone can
