Minnesota was once the beating heart of Norwegian America. Waves of farmers and pastors settled there in the 19th century, building churches, schools and communities that made the state the most “Norwegian” in the entire United States. At one point, more than a third of its population had Norwegian blood in their veins, and the very name “Minnesota” became synonymous with Lutheran faith, hard work and perseverance. Today, Minneapolis is called “Little Mogadishu.” The state that once stood as a stronghold of Norwegian Christianity and work ethic is now best known for hosting America’s largest Somali and Muslim population. The contrast could not be more stark: from Norwegians who built the land, to clan structures and parallel societies imported from Africa. Minnesota has become a living illustration of what happens when demographics change radically: one culture and identity is erased and another takes its place, often with entirely different values.

CAPTAIN MERIWETHER LEWIS: . . . and the men were much rejoiced at the prospect of fat meat. The grease and marrow were eagerly consumed, and it did much to restore our spirits.

And then that time they killed a bear...

Lewis:

“We killed a bear today, and the men were much rejoiced at the prospect of fat meat. The grease and marrow were eagerly consumed, and it did much to restore our spirits.” 1805

ANDREW KAUFMAN, MD: Vietnam just deactivated 86 million bank accounts overnight. No warning, no grace period. Individuals who failed to submit biometric data were immediately denied access.

How do you pay your bill if your bank account was closed, and they won't let you open an account unless you've submitted your biometric identification?  

St33lMouse explains, 

I live in Vietnam. There was a few months warning. You had to go to the bank and get your biometrics taken. Essentially a photo. If you didn't do it, they locked your account.

It was unwelcome and annoying, but not difficult. I imagine those who didn't do it in time simply got their accounts locked until they came in and got it done.

This sort of thing makes me avoid depositing large amounts of money in Vietnamese banks. It's just self preservation.

All banks under all governments are one of the primary policy levers they have over people, and you should always be wary of banks no matter where you live.

MIKE NETTER: After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question. Their answer . . . they know that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them.

Here's an interesting side bar. After the Japanese decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, they could have sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California to finish what they started. The prediction from our Chief of Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive invasion until they reached the Mississippi River. Remember, we had a 2 million man army and war ships in other localities, so why did they not invade?

After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question. Their answer . . . they know that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them. 1. The world's largest army ... America's hunters! I had never thought about this.... 2. A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: 3. There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin . 4. Allow me to restate that number. 5. Over the last several months, Wisconsin’s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. 6. More men under arms than in Iran . 7. More than in France and Germany combined. 8. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed. 9. That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan's 700,000 hunters, 10. All of whom have now returned home. 11. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that. 12. The hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The number of hunters in the state of Texas would be the largest standing army in the world by it's self. 13. The point? 14. America

15. Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security. 16. That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed. 17. Food for thought when next we consider gun control.
