EXPOSE THIS! Minnesota's own website says the group is STILL a current state grantee. This is the same organization behind the taxpayer-funded pantry that told people its resources were intended for Black and Indigenous people.
Just IMAGINE THE RIOTS if someone were to hang a sign reversing the roles.
The Food Trap Project Bodega caused outrage in North Minneapolis after posting a sign asking people outside those racial groups not to take the pantry's resources.
The project had received money through Minnesota's Paths to Black Health program, and even the church hosting it said the racial restriction was NOT part of what had originally been proposed.
The church eventually cut ties, but apparently the state of Minnesota did not.
The Department of Health updated its grant page in June 2026, and Food Trap Project Initiative remains listed among its CURRENT Paths to Black Health grantees.
Tax dollars come from people of every race. Publicly funded food should not come with a racial eligibility sign attached.

This week, a disturbing video from New York City has been circulating widely. A suspect stabbed two people, one fatally. The suspect, armed with knives, was subsequently fatally shot as she appeared to move toward responding officers. Early reports suggest she may have been experiencing a behavioral health crisis, although the full circumstances remain under investigation.
The tragedy should cause us to look beyond the video itself and ask a bigger question: Are our systems adequately equipped to intervene before someone reaches a point of crisis?
We have seen the consequences of these challenges here at home as well. Recently in our community, an individual with a history of mental illness was involved in a brutal attack that seriously harmed others. Every situation is different, and mental illness should never automatically be associated with violence. But these incidents reinforce something those of us in public safety see far too often: people with serious behavioral health needs can fall through significant gaps in our system until a crisis occurs.
In Harris County, approximately 63% of incarcerated defendants have a mental health flag, and about 17% of defendants are experiencing homelessness. Jails were never designed to be our primary mental health treatment system, yet increasingly they are being asked to manage people with extraordinarily complex needs.
Meanwhile, state mental health hospitals face long delays and limited capacity. Local treatment capacity is also inadequate. Civil mental health commitments in Texas are intentionally subject to significant legal standards. And families trying to help someone in crisis can sometimes find themselves navigating a fragmented system with few options.
At @HCSOTexas, we work closely with our partners at @TheHarrisCTR and others. Together, we have developed a successful jail-based mental health competency program and expanded its capacity. That work matters—but it still cannot reach everyone who needs help.
Law enforcement sits at the intersection of many of these systems. We see what happens when they work, and unfortunately, we also see what happens when they don’t.
There is no single or easy fix. But accepting the status quo cannot be the answer either.
We need stronger community-based behavioral health services, greater treatment capacity, better continuity of care, appropriate facilities for people with acute needs, and earlier opportunities to intervene before crisis becomes tragedy.
This isn’t only a mental health issue. It’s a community safety issue.
We must remain relentless about improving systems that are too often fragmented and overwhelmed—while protecting the dignity of people experiencing mental illness and the safety of our entire community.
My condolences are with the victims and everyone affected by the tragedy in New York City.

On Saturday, August 29, at approximately 12:44 a.m., the Magee Police Department responded to a shooting involving multiple victims, with one person later pronounced deceased.
In the middle of that chaos, Officer Ty Easterling and Officer Brandon Cooper rose to the occasion.
Officer Easterling located one of the victims inside a vehicle suffering from a severe gunshot wound and significant blood loss. He immediately removed the victim from the vehicle and requested a tourniquet from Officer Cooper.
Knowing that severe bleeding can become fatal within minutes, Officer Easterling acted without hesitation. He applied the tourniquet and was able to stop the bleeding.
With ambulances tied up across the county due to the number of shootings that had occurred, Officer Easterling knew there was no time to waste. He placed the victim in his patrol unit and transported him directly to the hospital.
Thankfully, he made it in time.
The victim was later airlifted to another hospital for further treatment, and a nurse later credited the tourniquet with saving that victim’s life.
This is the side of law enforcement that people do not always get to see.
Police officers carry many titles. Counselor. Protector. First responder. Problem solver. Sometimes even the person standing between life and death.
We train our officers because when seconds matter, there may not be time to wait for someone else. That night, Officers Easterling and Cooper handled their business, and their actions made a difference.
I am also proud of every officer who came out that night to assist, including the deputies with the Simpson County Sheriff’s Office. When something like this happens, it takes everyone working together, and I appreciate every person who stepped up and helped.
I am proud of our officers and the way they responded when our community needed them.
The more we train, the better we serve.

THIS STORY IS INSANE. Prosecutors say Penn State pledges were helping prepare COCAINE for distribution while an alleged supplier moved pounds of it through the college scene.
Agostino Abbatiello is accused of playing a major role in the operation tied to Penn State students and the Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon fraternity houses.
At Wednesday's hearing, one cooperating witness testified that he bought roughly 5.6 POUNDS OF COCAINE through Abbatiello in transactions totaling more than $120,000.
FOURTEEN people have been charged in the broader investigation, and prosecutors reportedly wanted Abbatiello held on $5 MILLION secured bail.
The judge set it at $250,000.
Forget "fraternity scandal." Prosecutors are describing something that sounds a whole lot more like a drug operation using campus life as cover.

WATCH LIVE: VP JD Vance addresses reporters from the White House in the first press briefing since former press secretary Karoline Leavitt's departure.
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1ErPHmr5QJ/
VP opens his press briefing by paying tribute to Karoline Leavitt — the greatest Press Secretary in White House history! ❤️
“Karoline, if you’re watching — which hopefully you’re not — but if you’re watching, thank you for your service, thank you for your friendship and thanks for doing a great job.”
VP: "We have taken over 2,000 fraudulent CDL mills OUT OF BUSINESS — which makes America's roads safer and also protects the jobs of American truckers."
VP on the Venezuelan oil deal: "It's just an amazing testament to what a smart foreign policy could look like and how it feeds back in to good outcomes for the American people... Effectively a new 65 billion barrel of oil reserve for the United States."
VP: "For all the kids at home and their parents, importantly, tomorrow is the last day of the Second Lady's Summer Reading Challenge... You've gotta return your Summer Reading Challenge stuff in!" 📚
VP: "The President has set us about to be the most transparent Administration in history — and we have done that with flying colors."
VP: I don't really care who's to blame for inflation; I care about how to fix it — and that's what we've been working relentlessly to do by undoing the policies that got prices so high in the first place.
VP: "The only reason we do not have a worldwide energy crisis is because of the leadership of the President." ✅
VP: "Major combat operations are currently not ongoing and they haven't been ongoing in a very long time... What we're talking about here is trying to maintain some basic balance in these world energy markets."
VP JD Vance REFUSES to allow people to FORCE him to condemn Tucker Carlson
"I'm NOT going to play the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political disagreements with them. I think that is a TERRIBLE place for the United States to go."
"What a TRAVESTY it is that in the United States of America we let political disagreements define who our friends are going to be and not going to be."
"And if you have a disagreement with somebody politically, even over a deeply held issue, you should still be friends with that person because the whole republic depends on people with different perspectives being able to talk to one another."
"I think it's very obvious that Tucker has said some things that I disagree with. He said some things about the President of the United States that I think are just wrong."
VP: "There's A LOT that would go wrong if the Democrats take control of the House or the Senate."
VP: "What I'm focused on is trying to get as many Republicans elected as possible so that we can do as much good as possible... We get an opportunity to come to work every day and make 350 million peoples' lives better. That's what we have to be focused on."
VP: "Our commitment in the Trump Administration is that we would like to have nine Supreme Court justices. That's the way that it has been for a long time and we think that's the way that it should stay."
VP: "What I think President Trump will be remembered by — rightfully so — is for a renaissance in American building and American manufacturing."
VP: "Do you want to live in a country that has safety and security and prosperity? If the answer is yes — and I think most Americans do — then vote for congressional Republicans over congressional Democrats. On every single issue, the Democrats have taken the side of fraudsters, of criminals, and of far-left interest groups over the side of the American people."

With profound sadness, we remember Sgt. Chris Fisher, a Warm Springs Police Department officer whose life was tragically cut short Tuesday night in Warm Springs, Georgia. Fisher was killed at approximately 11:57 p.m., leaving his fellow officers, loved ones…
A white Georgia sergeant booked a man on Friday, and that same black suspect is accused of sho*ting him in his patrol car four nights later.
Sgt. Chris Fisher of the Warm Springs Police Department had just finished an unrelated traffic stop near the Meriwether Country Inn around 11:57 p.m. on Sept. 1.
GBI says a black 2026 Chevrolet Silverado pulled alongside his cruiser and the driver opened fire. Fisher, a husband and father of two, was pronounced de*d at the scene.
The agency named 23-year-old Jimmie Lee Steverson of Warm Springs as the suspect. Court records show Fisher himself had arrested Steverson around 1 a.m. on Aug. 28 on felony counts that included marijuana possession, possession of a g*n during the commission of a crime, and obstruction. Steverson posted bond and walked.
A Blue Alert went statewide. About 12 hours later, Anderson County deputies in South Carolina stopped a car on I-85. Steverson was a passenger. GBI says he had a self-inflicted g*nshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and d*ed.
City Councilman Michael Bishop told 11Alive he believes the sho*ting was payback for that Friday arrest. Warm Springs is a tiny west Georgia town.
The man Fisher put in cuffs was back on the street in time to find him sitting in a parked patrol car.
That is what a bond decision cost.

CHARGED AS AN ADULT FOR BRINGING A KNIFE TO A FIST FIGHT and using it.
Fifteen-year-old Carlos Martinez was attacked inside Miami Northwestern Senior High School, where police records say two students punched, kicked and BODY-SLAMMED him to the ground.
Martinez later retrieved a knife and chased students through the hallway, ultimately stabbing an 18-year-old in the back. That student told police he was not one of the two who originally attacked Martinez, while Martinez's parents say their son had been threatened for days before everything exploded. Three students were arrested.
Martinez is now facing aggravated-battery and weapons charges, and prosecutors say they intend to put the 15-year-old into the ADULT criminal system.
He was attacked first, BUT what happened afterward clearly went much further...and reportedly an innocent student was the one who paid the price.

For nearly three years, we have stood firmly with Ryan Clinkunbroomer’s family and with the dedicated men and women of our Palmdale Sheriff’s Station. Throughout this time, we have remained steadfast in supporting this investigation and doing everything we can to assist the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office in pursing justice and holding this individual accountable for the ambush murder of Ryan.
Today’s verdict delivers justice and accountability. While nothing can bring Ryan back to his family, his loved ones, or our LASD family, we hope this verdict brings a sense of peace and closure to those who loved him and served alongside him.
Ryan dedicated his life to service, proudly carrying on his family’s legacy as a third-generation member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. We will forever honor his service, his sacrifice, and the badge he proudly wore. Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer will never be forgotten.
