According to Edward Ring in American Greatness, the riots in Minneapolis are allegedly being funded by individuals and organizations that share an agenda to expand immigration and oppose President Trump. Soros’ Open Society Foundation, individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and leftist unions, including SEIU and AFL-CIO, are all alleged to be funding the rioters.

At the same time, Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Fray, likely part of a corrupt political machine, are at least tactically encouraging the protests.

All of this has been greatly helped by the Internet, which has identified and aggravated every inflammatory video taken, before distributing the videos to everyone with a smartphone.

It is necessary to root out and expel crime and prosecute official corruption. It’s also necessary to recognize that we can’t continue to accept economic migrants by the tens of millions. Or we lose our country.

Of course, Alex Pretti should not have brought a gun to the protest. And lots of young protesters may have learned something useful from Pretti’s fateful error.
