Thats ironic since banning the sale of alcohol on Sundays comes from religious edicts and we all know liberals worship the state, not god.

That does not make Minnesota as progressive as everyone thinks.

Liquor stores are open in Minnesota on Sundays. They changed the law.

The El Toro Marine Corps Air Station and Santa Ana Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin are perfect examples.

There are some in California who have practically been BEGGING the Army to close Camp Pendleton because it would potentially open up a huge amount of land for development.

So once again, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Except for the fact that many of those bases are all on the EPA hit list... Military Sites on the EPA Superfund List

The MARINE base at Camp Pendelton is a bad one.....

Yes, there will have to be environmental cleanup before development can be built there.

It has been done before and can be done to other military bases.

Love my Minnesovia. Liberals are doing everything in their power here to run us into the ground.


Love this local news just out. Tucker Carlson picked it up...and I hope he does story....after story...after story...on these poor downtrodden "refugees" we are forced to take in here, and their truly sinister motives at the end of the day.

uhm

who are you kidding Georgia is a democrat state has been for 150+ years up until the last decade or two


Georgia has always been blue... up till the late 90's

every senator for Georgia was democrat from 1870-late 1990's

as far as the house of reps they have always been a majority democrat, with only a few republicans ever having seats (newt being one of the few)

as far as state level:there have been 40 governors since 1865...of those only 3 have been republican...all others (37) democrat

the democrats have controlled Georgia legislature for the last 150 years up until 2005

Georgia is a Republican state. We have had Republican governors going back to the early 2000s, we have conservatives controlling the state. I am talking about what is going on NOW and since the 21st century started. Republican Presidential candidates have been winning in Georgia since 1996. Georgia is basically a red state. I live in Georgia.
