NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN

Timmah?  If you're ever convicted of burning down your house, you better not be surprised if the bank turns down your request for a home loan.  Similarly, if a bunch of leftists burn down your town and you make no effort to stop them, Washington is not going to pick up the tab for your laziness and your pointlessness.  Get used to it.
 
The federal government has denied Gov. Tim Walz’s request for aid to help rebuild and repair Twin Cities structures that were damaged in the unrest following George Floyd’s death.
 
Walz asked President Donald Trump to declare a “major disaster” for the state of Minnesota in his request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 2. More than 1,500 buildings were damaged by fires, looting and vandalism in the days of unrest that followed Floyd’s May 25 death in Minneapolis police custody, racking up more than $500 million in damages, according to Walz.
 
The governor’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann, confirmed late Friday that the request for federal aid was denied.
 
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” Tschann said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”
 
Schadenfreude.  It does a body good.

They had police and National Guard and declined to use them, instead vilifying their own police force.

Well bless Timmy’s black little heart. Karma’s a beach, ain’t it?
