More details are emerging after an American flag was displayed upside down at a Somali Independence Day event in Minnesota, sparking both outrage and apologies in a situation that has gone viral on social media in recent days.The St. Cloud Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that on July 3 at 5:29 p.m., the department received a call that the U.S. flag was being flown upside down on a city flagpole at the Lake George Park Pavilion during a Somali Independence Day event.A video from that event, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, showed the flag upside down as event attendees, roughly 500 people at peak times, enjoyed the festivities. The department said the officer "corrected the flag without objection" and that organizers "indicated to City staff that the flag being flown upside down was not intentional."Police leader blasts ‘spineless’ Mayor Frey, Minneapolis City Council for Somali gang problem, staffing woesJoe Gamaldi, the national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about policing in Minneapolis.Somali gang problem captured on camera from the 4th of JulyThis past weekend marked yet another violent Fourth of July in Minneapolis. Dozens of car windows were smashed, there was a homicide, and several people were injured by gunfire—with some of it caught on camera.Despite the danger to the public, many local leaders seem unwilling to publicly acknowledge that there is a Somali gang problem in the city.Gamaldi, however, had a lot to say about policing and crime in Minneapolis.“I think Mayor [Jacob] Frey likes to talk tough with everyone, but I think we all know he is completely spineless,” Gamaldi said.“Because these gangs know that even if they are arrested, they’re just gonna be let right back out over and over and over again,” he said.Gamaldi pointed out who is really getting harmed by all of this: “the law-abiding, hardworking members of the community.”“You know, it’s funny because you’ll see politicians who, I will remind you, sit their asses safely behind their desks and say we need to defund and dismantle the police department. But it’s not them who has to deal with the consequences,” he added.Gamaldi explained how “defund the police” ideology shares much of the blame for the rise in violence.“When we went down this failed social experiment back in 2020 and 2021, you saw 16 American cities experience their highest murder rate in recorded history. Innocent civilians paid with their blood,” he said.Gamaldi spoke clearly about the hypocrisy of the “defund the police” movement: “You know who got it the worst? It was black males who averaged a homicide rate of 12 times that of any other race. Yet we still had these lunatics pushing defund the police.”“It is very clear that they are willing to put their failed ideology over the safety of their community members, and it’s sickening,” he added.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

First up: Maine Democrats thought they had their progressive hero in Graham Platner, oyster farmer, veteran, and the guy who somehow survived every earlier scandal only to clinch the Senate nomination. Now, fresh sexual assault allegations have the entire party in full panic mode. Then we roll into the Twin Cities, where Somali gangs are making headlines again with violence, shootings, and turf issues that law enforcement has been tracking for years. But heaven forbid anyone point it out too loudly, that would be inconvenient for the narrative. And finally, a public service announcement from Gumption County: American buildings should not collapse. Or buckle.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Minnesota State Representative Kristin Robbins, Chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, joins for a no-BS deep dive into the state’s exploding welfare fraud crisis. She breaks down how the same networks kept reappearing, why the system failed to stop it, and what her committee has uncovered through whistleblowers and public records. The conversation also covers Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s role in sponsoring the federal MEALS Act, which relaxed key oversight rules for meal providers and helped create the conditions for the Feeding Our Future scheme to explode. Robbins details the committee’s repeated attempts to get Omar to testify or turn over records of communications with individuals later tied to the fraud (many of which appeared in federal trial exhibits), and why those requests have gone unanswered. Plus: the latest on daycare fraud with over 400 open investigations into publicly funded providers and the long-overdue rollout of electronic attendance tracking. For years, only a tiny fraction (around 10% in the initial phase) of providers were using real-time online records, making it ridiculously easy to bill for kids who were never there.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We’ve got more on Chauntyll Allen, the worst school board member in America. If you thought school boards couldn’t get any more detached from reality, Allen keeps raising the bar in spectacular fashion. Then we head to Kentucky for the most underwhelming Independence Day event in recorded history: the grand opening of a time capsule buried in 1976… that contained absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch... The perfect metaphor for 2026. The New Minnesota State Trooper logo is better than the Fraud flag but still a loss.

Minneapolis City Council Member Aisha Chughtai announces her job is just too difficult, so she’s taking a full month-long leave to treat her mental health struggles. Because nothing says “public service” like deciding the council gig is overwhelming and stepping away for a rigorous outpatient program while the taxpayers keep the lights on.Then there’s St. Paul School Board Clerk Chauntyll Allen, whose classy comments suggesting dog walkers should let their pups desecrate “white Christian cemeteries” and “piss on the white corpses” instead of using sacred indigenous land have drawn exactly zero response so far from the school board. Still crickets. Common sense is apparently on vacation.Johnny Heidt rolls in with the guitar news, as always, while the crew sifts through the rest of the day’s nonsense with the usual blend of gumption, cigars, and zero tolerance for nonsense.Common sense prevails in Gumption County.
