Declassified documents released in recent weeks by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard indicate that the intelligence community, consisting of 18 agencies, heavily relied upon Fauci’s expertise when making pronouncements regarding the origin of SARS-CoV-2.

MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS ARE STILL PAYING THE PRICE FOR THE BLACK LIVES MATTER RIOTS

Six years since Democrats allowed Black Lives Matter rioters to rage through Minneapolis, city residents are still (quite literally) paying the price.

Market valuations for downtown Minneapolis commercial buildings have dropped by about $3.4 billion from 2021 to 2026, or about 45%, according to Minneapolis City Councilman Michael Rainville, who said that the number is still dropping. According to Rainville, “every renter, every homeowner, every small business building owner outside downtown is making up for that with their property tax.” MORE AT Minneapolis residents are still paying the price for the Black Lives Matter riots
