www.commsolutionsmn.com- Ever heard of the Minnesota Regional Council of Mayors? Yeah, us neither until we stumbled upon it in our vast research. It was created from the Urban Land Institute. Right now, it includes mayors from St Louis Park, Minnetonka, Burnsville, Lakeville, Edina, Eagan, Woodbury, Duluth, Willmar, and more. They are sponsored by the likes of Target, Comcast, Wells Fargo, and Dorsey. This "new localism" is where all of the groups with money and power get together to tell you how to live.

This group is bringing local government and business together into advisory groups to make policy. This is the textbook definition of fascism, just like the model set by the World Econimic Forum. They tackle topics like mental health, inclusive cities, economics, land use and all of the other things these cities and counties push. Then they take their progressive urban plan and disseminate it into the schools. We see the ESG model being pushed even at the local level to drive certain behaviors and push certain environmental, social, and governmental solutions.

How is the MN Governor's race shaping up? We give you our in-depth analysis. We also discuss the passing of Loretta Lynn and her mark on country music.
