    Gravity seems to be at 70 milligals over the cities and twin cities has coal tar filled aquifers. Which may mean less conductive for telluric current or negative ions. Heavy place, polluted and lifeless. Also the pit of Democrats, utilizing hekate political activism magick, along with hoodoo magick blended with cult-Mesmer- mk ultra - Pentecostalism. Ummm let’s see 🤔 The housing hub-managerial cabal, in Edina, running all circuits of housing through a blue lenz. The great quantities of unnatural homosexuals out of nowhere over the past twenty five years. Everyone that moved from Chicago or Somalia here in the last twenty five years. 8 months of snow and 12 months of allergies. Southern magnetic polarity, running from the Canada down and west. Potentially producing overly emotional and feminine people. Perhaps, every word out of everyone’s mouth, being every negativity in any class range. It’s over fluoride to the water supply, where natural spring water would be .01ppm. The legal government level is .07-.09ppm. The real readings are .75ppm going out and .12pmm coming back. Overtime possibly causing more docile and suggestible people. I think number one for me, when visiting family in wisconsin. Once getting past thorp on the way to Green Bay. The dark essence detached at the borders, but it poison leaves two hours in. And the zombie like mind frame leaves with it. Would be a more full and honest reasoning. Maybe white flight as well….

    I WISH people didn’t talk about politics! If you live in the Cities, the conservatives still won’t talk about politics or religion, because we get vilified. But the Liberals around here never stop screaming their politics. It’s a very frustrating how split the state is. Blue in the Twin Cities, Red everywhere else. Woe to those who live in the area that doesn’t match their politics.

    Minnesota nice? The rest of the nation is point blank rude. So us upper Midwestern'ers have left and came back to have a family. We all do it. So that means my posse of 25 that ive known from elementary school is still around. We literally dont have the time for outsiders. Now that doesnt mean a outsider cant date or manage their way into our circle. Happens all the time. But Minnesota isnt a transient state where 1/2 the population is from elsewhere... Although thats changing via the... newcomers.

    I was born on the east side, was raised there, moved to the suburbs of Minneapolis then moved to cottage Grove and spent a lot of time between there and Woodbury. I left Minnesota 3 years ago for very good reasons, crime, high taxes, leftist bull crap. I only go there if I have to because my family all still lives there. Leaving Minnesota was the best decision I ever made for me and my family.

    I love the state, but in the recent years, it has become too costly to live on with a fixed retired income with the increase in property tax and HOA costs going through the roof. I chose to move to Wisconsin, just across the state line. I am close enough to Minnesota to enjoy a trip for some weekend fun and recreation, but budget-wise, I had to move. The cost of living with property tax and HOA fees are half of what it was in Minnesota.

    People never talk about all the “income restricted” housing. These make it difficult to find affordable housing if you’re working class and make slightly more than their allowed amount. These dominate the safer areas of the cities. So if you’re a working class person like me and on a budget you’re going to be living in a less desirable area with more crime and less amenities. I understand we need affordable housing but can’t they just do a percentage of income? As a single, working class female, I feel overlooked. I want a safe place to live too. If I were a single mother of 4, I’d be fine. But I’m not and trust me, the twin cities isn’t so MN nice unless you’re wealthy or down and out. In between? Lol. You’re nothing

    Hello, 🐦🐦🐦🐼🐨🐼May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
