The day before my dad passed, I asked him if he could tell me a secret he kept while in the service. He was 82 been out since 1974, this was 2008. He said no. He was trusted to protect that information and he took that duty seriously. This administration doesn’t get it.

Don’t let the assholes get you down. My Dad told me that his whole life with me. He made me memorize the Martin Niemöller poem. He meant a lot to me. I won’t let him down.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

This was five years ago. For some reason, my Congressman has been silent on Alex Pretti.
