    Minnesota is in a sad state. It’s been over three years since George Floyd ascended to heaven. When is he going to return ?

    It is an odd design choice and I can certainly see this as possibly being a nod to MN's Somali folks, but even if so - what's the issue exactly?

    Personally, I'm still recovering from MN being completely ruled by Sharia Law, as was predicted many years ago.

    In related news, Mainers get to vote next year to replace this snooze-fest of a flag:

    I'm personally already hacking into Maine's ballot machines and have bought eight 12-passenger vans in preperation to shuttle illegals in from Vermont. If this doesn't pass, the election was rigged and I'll be storming the Capital in Augusta.

    Minnesota's seal is going to be a little different, too.

    They don't look alike at all? And that's not the flag of the country of Somalia either.

    It's a state flag inside Somalia. We didnt want to be too obvious with our woke hammering of new world order thinking.

    Their original flag choice was an even odder design. Click on the flag image to expand.

    That link seems to shed some light on the purported Somalia connection.

    North Star Flag
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG] The "North Star Flag", which won an unofficial contest in 2001, was originally proposed in 1989.
    The North Star Flag design was created in 1989 by Lee Herold and Reverend William Becker.[17] The flag has the colors of green, representing forests, white, representing winter, and blue, representing water. A yellow star in the top left represents the North Star and the state's motto, L'Étoile du Nord. Herold presented the proposal to state legislators in 1989, supported by Republican representative Gil Gutknecht.[24] Herold opposed the official state flag since its creation when he was in high school.[25] In 1995, he left his career as an accountant and opened a flag store, Herold Flags, in Rochester, Minnesota.

    As some of you may know, Minnesota has a high concentration of Somalis living within its borders. Tim Walz change the Minnesota flag to something that very closely resembles the Somali flag. After reviewing the facts, I have determined any suggestion this isn't what the progressives in Minnesota were going for is a crock.
