Those Somali's really worked the system.

'Federal officials have begun investigating the long-ignored shipping of at least $700 million in U.S. cash by Somalis in air travel luggage out of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport.'

I don’t know why you are making a big deal about this? It’s not even a BILLION dollars!

In the other story of the day, I am sure the left will now be targeting the ICE agent who shot the driver in Minnesota. It’s hard to imagine him living a normal life without full time security if he doesn’t go to prison. I am not sure if the video evidence is enough to convict him in a court of law, but it certainly be enough for those that want to push the narrative ‘ICE bad, illegal aliens good’.

Of course it’s not particularly smart when surrounded by ICE/police/FBI/state troopers/etc.. with guns, and one is screaming at you to get the f… out of the car, while one is right in front of you, to put your foot on the gas pedal. (Bad run on sentence).

Regardless of if the officer was justified, does anyone think the motorist is dead if she ‘gets out of the f…ing car’?

Every time SOOPOO is told to get out of the f…ing car, he does.

I'm no MAGA fan but even I can set my dislike for Trump aside and try to view this dispassionately.

The video I've seen on the news is somewhat inconclusive but arguably MIGHT support the government's position that it was a lawful shooting.

The shooter seems to have been moving from right to left in front of the car as it started moving; it is reported to have hit him and he went briefly to the hospital.

Hopefully clearer video will be available soon.

The sad thing is no matter what the videos show most people's minds are already made up as with most things they swallow the conclusions and taiking points spoon fed to them by their news feed of choice.

I know between the two of us who has had more years with a security clearance, so I'm not going to debate.

Reallllllllllllllllllly??? Tell me how many years you have held a security clearance and additionally for how many years you have held each level. Also further break down the information by active duty and reserve time.

Put up or shut up.

P.S. You didn't even know that some mayors have federal security clearances.

Of all the criticisms that don't matter, these don't matter the most.

Of course you don't care.

She might have been trying to pull over to the side of the road before getting out which is what a lot of people do in other cases. If she was still alive, that's what my lawyer would be claiming. I'm not getting no cheap lawyer.

Over 10 years Secret. I had confidential at some point, but that was prior (couldn't tell you the years.).

No Mayor is required to get a security clearance, this is not a thing. *Some* mayors have one, just like some mayors are forklift operator certified, this is not a requirement for their job or being elected, or in any way relevant.

And, no I don't care that a woman who works for Mandami has a wealthy mother (I don't even know if I would say rich, for an elderly person a 1 mil house is not that crazy,) nor should any sane person. This is the most absurd thing to care about. Even if her mother was in jail I wouldn't care, because it is her mother, not herself.

OMG, OMG, a secret clearance for over 10 years and oh my goodness a confidential at some point. I am soooooooo impressed- NOT

I have you beat in both clearance level and years held.

Although not a security clearance, have you ever been certified through the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP)? Don't google, IYKYK

I never said that any mayor is required to obtain a security clearance. My disagreement with you is your statement: " Mayors don't get federal security clearances." which is 100% false.

I am glad I impressed you.

No idea what that program is, so I would guess not, unless it's something that happens in the background without notifying you. I mostly worked in medical facilities, so I doubt it's something I would need.

I don't doubt you had clearances, but you don't seem to understand how they work.


The statement is correct. A mayor having a security clearance is not relevant or required. And, of information was given to him by the administration that should have based on his alleged lack of clearance is on the admin not the mayor or the city.

You are getting into pedantry over a non-issue.
