A list of buildings damaged and looted in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Hit the link: Bring Me The News: A list of the buildings damaged, looted in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Minneapolis and St. Paul a little quieter tonight.

As of publishing time, the riots and chaos are less intense, so far. It's still early.

The state capitol building is lit and surrounded, manned by various mixes of law enforcement agencies. Rumors swirl about "safe-houses" sheltering numbers of rioters and anarchists, many from out of state. The major freeways connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis, and to some surrounding suburbs, are closed. The KKK is here, but there is no substantiation of this, it sounds more like Leftist disinfo and propaganda.

Gov Timmy Walz's 1:30AM presser.

I did stay awake long enough watching Timmy Walz's 1:30AM presser earlier this morning.

Newsweek: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz 'Fully Mobilizes' National Guard for The First Time in State's History.

During a press conference Saturday, Gov. Tim Walz told reporters that the worsening violence in Minneapolis was "no longer in any way about the murder of George Floyd. (It only took him four days to recognize this. He's improving! - Drake)
[.]
...Walz said: "There is no mayor in America that has the resources to push back against an organized attempt to destabilize civil society with no regard for life or property.

Walz basically said "we" .... "we" being his administration and the admins of St. Paul mayor Melbin Carter and Minneapolis mayor Soy Boy Man-Child Jacob Frey ... were unprepared, overwhelmed and didn't respond quickly enough. Isn't this always the pattern of how liberals react during a crisis? 

Walz also seemed to finally grasp the concept that rioters and looters - many who traveled here from out of state - have nothing in common with those who are peacefully mourning and protesting the death of George Floyd.

Frey spoke for a few minutes. He was a cheerleader, saying, "we're better than this. This is not what Minneapolis is about." His performance would have been more believable if he'd had some pom-poms shouting, "siss-boom-bah, yay team." He said nothing substantive.

They..."they" being Walz, Frey, Carter and the entire Liberal political establishment in Minnesota ... saw the spark, did nothing, allowing the fire to spread. Then, when it became an inferno, they realized action needs to be taken.

KSTP has continual coverage.

MN Gov Tim Walz to hold presser soon. Pentagon puts military police on alert for trip to Minneapolis.

MN DEM Gov Timmy Walz

Someone found Timmy! Was he avoiding facing reality, making hard decisions and instead playing GTA?

KSTP News is covering the looting, rioting and fires live. KSTP will cover an upcoming press conference with Timmy scheduled to start at 1:30AM Central Time. The KSTP story also mentions some Tweets Timmy, (and others, including Minneapolis Mayor Soy Boy Man-Child Jacob Frey), sent out earlier.

    Minnesotans, please go home. It’s time to restore peace on our streets and in our neighborhoods. The situation has become dangerous for Minnesotans and first responders.
    — Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) May 30, 2020

Well, Timmy, a lot of those people out there rioting, setting fires, risking the public safety...they're not Minnesotans. I can't say how often the police scanners has been mentioning out of state vehicles involved in all the destruction, vandalism and devastation.

"Please go home." Wow. That's the best Timmy can muster? I received far sterner warnings from my 70-year old Grandma when I was a kid.

CNBC: Pentagon puts military police on alert to go to Minneapolis.

The Pentagon has taken the rare step of ordering the Army to put several active-duty U.S. military police units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis.

Soldiers from Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York have been ordered to be ready to deploy within four hours if called, according to three people with direct knowledge of the orders.

The police killing of George Floyd has sparked widespread protests.

I'm going to sleep after hitting publish.

Minneapolis and St. Paul burn. 8PM curfew ignored. Gov. Walz MIA, fails the people and state.

@ mnhousegop, Kurt Daudt (R) Leader and member of the the Minnesota House of Representatives from District 31A:

MN DEM Gov Tim Walz... he's MIA. Hasn't been seen since this afternoon's news conference:

Timmy's tired. Banning attendance at places of worship took everything out of him. 

Reports on local scanners are reporting crowds, protestors and rioters moving towards the Minneapolis PD 5th Precinct, which is due south of Minneapolis downtown proper.

Fire departments and police squads are not responding to calls. The National Guard - which Walz activated yesterday, "to protect Minnesotans' safety...and maintain peace" - is also MIA.

Atlanta deployed SWAT and other units in the streets and appears to be doing a far better job in keeping law and order than in the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis Soy Boy Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melbin Carter have both been invisible since mid-afternoon.

Medical examiner concludes George Floyd didn't die of asphyxia.

Washington Examiner: Medical examiner concludes George Floyd didn't die of asphyxia.

In the charges brought against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Friday, a new finding shows the county medical examiner concluded the death of George Floyd was not a result of asphyxia or strangulation.
[.]
The full report by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office is pending but so far has found "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."

Floyd's underlying health conditions included coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The report says the underlying health conditions, combined with Chauvin's restraint and any possible intoxicants in Floyd's system, likely contributed to his death.
[.]
Floyd's detainment revolved around an account of forgery when a local business owner thought he had handed him a counterfeit bill to pay for his purchase.

Amy Klobuchar declined to prosecute Derick Chauvin, officer at center of George Floyd's death after previous conduct complaints.

DEM U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (MN)

The Week (via Archive Yahoo): Amy Klobuchar declined to prosecute officer at center of George Floyd's death after previous conduct complaints.

George Floyd's death in police custody is renewing criticism of Sen. Amy Klobuchar's (D-Minn.) prosecutorial record. Before she became a senator and a top contender for former Vice President Joe Biden's vice presidential spot, Klobuchar spent eight years as the Hennepin County attorney, in charge of prosecution for Minneapolis. And while in that position, Klobuchar declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force, including the officer who kneeled on Floyd's neck as he protested, The Guardian reports.

Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derick Chauvin saw at least 10 conduct complaints during his 19-year tenure before he was fired Tuesday, according to a database that documents complaints against police. In particular, he was involved in the shooting death of a man who had stabbed other people before attacking police, as well as some other undisclosed complaints. Klobuchar did not prosecute Chauvin for the first death, and he was later placed on leave when he and other officers shot and wounded a Native American man in 2011.

As The Washington Post noted in March, Klobuchar "declined to bring charges in more than two dozen cases in which people were killed in encounters with police" as Hennepin County attorney. Instead, she "aggressively prosecuted smaller offenses" that "have been criticized for their disproportionate effect on poor and minority communities," the Post continues. And as Klobuchar undergoes vetting to become a possible vice presidential candidate, that track record is being scrutinized and criticized once again.

While there are other stories similar to the above, what's interesting is that the original story, reprinted at Yahoo has been removed. This story appeared on Yahoo on May 28, and in one day they spike the story? Why?

The Yahoo URL: https://news.yahoo.com/amy-klobuchar-declined-prosecute-officer-183728902.html?soc_src=hl-viewer&soc_trk=tw

Klobuchar now is busy back-peddling her past failures in prosecuting abusive behavior and tactics used by police officers. She's still hoping she'll be Joe Biden's vice-presidential candidate. She should give up on that dream.

Instead, her eight years as Hennepin County attorney needs to be examined and she needs to be held accountable for her failures. This won't happen, she's a Democrat. She'll skate free by playing her Liberal Privilege Card.

Weak Mayor Jacob Frey says Minneapolis is strong as hell.

Market Watch: Minneapolis mayor to Trump: ‘Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis’.

As protests in response to the death of George Floyd rocked Minneapolis for a third night on Thursday, President Trump called the city’s mayor “weak” for failing to keep his community under control.

“A total lack of leadership,” the president wrote on Twitter late Thursday, adding that if “the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey,” didn’t “get his act together,” then the commander-in-chief was going to send in the National Guard.
[.]
“Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions,” [Frey] countered. “Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis.”

“Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis,” he continued, raising his voice. “We are strong as hell. Is this a difficult time period? Yes. But you better be damn sure that we’re gonna get through this.”

Gee, I don't know...Minneapolis doesn't appear all that 'strong' right now. It appears weak, overwhelmed, lacking leadership and a plan to deal with this at all levels. At least Frey demonstrated what he and Liberals do best and so often: Point Fingers and Blame Others.

George Floyd's death happened in your back yard, Jacob. What responsibility has he taken, accepted or admitted? None, which is the embodiment of liberalism and weakness - not that there's much difference between the two.

Sure, "we're gonna get through this." Until next time when the same thing happens.

I'm guessing Frey was asleep, was awakened and told of President Trump's Tweet, rolled out of bed at 1:15AM and decided to have an impromptu, albeit brief, news conference.

It also needs to be noted Frey wasn't wearing a face mask, something he said is mandatory for everyone in Minneapolis over two-years of age. This can only mean Frey doesn't adhere to his own order or is under the age of two. My money is on the latter.

Why is Jacob Frey still the mayor of Minneapolis?

According to The Left, "the ultimate bearer of responsibility rests with the person at the top". This standard is applied to those who have a political ideology that differs from theirs. They never apply this standard to themselves.

In the case of George Floyd, his death happened in Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey's backyard. How does he remain in office? He's a Democrat.

Off the top of my head, a few DEM individuals and Leftist organizations, none who have called for Frey to resign: 

Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Ilhan Omar, MN Gov Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton, DNC Chair Tom Perez, Kamela Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Tina Smith (Minnesota's "unknown other senator"), CAIR Minnesota, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, the ACLU, Mike Bloomberg, BOB O'Rourke, John Hickenlooper, Eric Swalwell, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julian Castro, Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Al Franken, the SLPC, the NAACP, BLM, Barack and Michelle Obama, Rahm Emanuel, Debbie Dingell, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, former MN Gov Mark Dayton,  MN Rep. Betty McGollum, MN Rep Dean Phillips, MN Rep Angie Craig, MN Rep Collin Peterson.   .

No members of the Minneapolis City Council.

No African American Civic leaders in Minneapolis.

No loudmouth celebrities.

No talking heads on MSM/Liberal Media.

No religious leaders.

No liberal-leaning site, blog or - that I could find - social media (Twitter, FB, etc).

I'm thinking if it had been a Republican mayor, all the above voices would be deafening calls for an immediate resignation.

Would a Republican mayor still be in office? One who ran on a platform of reforming excessive police force, who gave a lot of what appeared good performances (acting) and promising improved results, but who instead failed epically?

Frey failed Minneapolis. In two-plus years in office, he's delivered on none of his promises. He'll walk away from the death of George Floyd blemish-free.

Illinois DEM Gov Pritzker says, "People deserve to breathe."

Chicago Sun-Times: Gov. Pritzker calls George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis ‘a call of action’ for all: ‘People deserve to breathe’.

“People deserve to breathe,” Pritzker said.

Why the governor of Illinois would comment on something that occurred in Minneapolis, Minnesota is puzzling. Perhaps he wants to deflect attention away from all of his failures.

It's nice knowing that J.B. thinks people deserve to breathe and hasn't yet revoked or suspended that basic human right.

The intellect of some Liberal politicians is astounding. I'm sure the people of Illinois are relieved hearing that their governor thinks they deserve to breathe.

Minneapolis DEM Mayor Jacob Frey puts on a good show, feigning concern and compassion over George Floyd death.

WBUR News (via Archive): 4 Police Officers Fired After A Black Man Dies In Minneapolis Police Custody.

[Jacob Frey] the mayor of Minneapolis says four Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in the death of a black man in police custody have been terminated. The FBI is investigating the incident.

A 10-minute video widely circulated on social media and referenced by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey shows a police officer using his knee to pin the man's neck to the ground for multiple minutes.

Here's Soy Boy Frey's well-rehearsed response. I enjoy his measured moments of silence as he feigns concern, grief, muted anger and incredulity.

It's an award-winning performance by Frey. You know he practiced it in front of a mirror for...hours, maybe?

Frey's comments on his Twitter page: 

"Being Black in America should not be a death sentence." Is Frey the Mayor of America or of Minneapolis, which, yes - is part of America. You get my point, Frey is passing accountability onto America, not taking ownership of what happens in his own back yard. Nice try, Big Fail.

Frey's statement reads just like a template and it should considering the deaths of Black men and women by overly-aggressive, hair-trigger police officers in Minneapolis which becomes more common every day.

Minneapolis taxpayers must have a lot of extra cash sitting around as the city keeps paying out settlements - or is sued and loses the case - of several hundred-thousands to millions of dollars. What is the price of a human life? Well, ask the Minneapolis City Council. They seem to have a knack in this one aspect of city finances.

Here's the video of Mr. George Floyd being detained.

Advisory: Not for children, graphic, language.

In a real world, by now, Minneapolis Soy Boy Frey would have been forced out of office and Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo would have resigned.

Frey and Arradondo promised their administration and policies would be in a new, bold, different direction from their predecessors former mayor Betsy "Hitler" Hodges and former PD Chief Janee Harteau. Well, ya know - - campaign promises and words. Accountability? They've never heard the word.

It unnecessary to mention that Minneapolis is, and has been, a deeply entrenched Blue City for years, but I will lest anyone forget. Will Minneapolis' Black community continue supporting and electing Democrats?

Frey needs to go, but he won't resign - not unless a loud public vocal reckoning forces him to. The four police officers were fired, but that's not Frey taking responsibility. No, that's Frey doing what DEMS do, blame others. (Not that the officers involved aren't to blame, they are).

Considering Frey is part of the political party that so often defaults to the, "the person in charge must go" mentality, it's not surprising he doesn't apply the same standard to himself. The Minneapolis Liberals won't hold him to the standard that they apply to their political opponents. But...ooooohh...but if this had involved a Republican mayor? Gone in less time than the blink of an eye.

Arradondo needs to go. Can voices grow loud enough to oust both Frey and Arradondo? We can hope, but it's unlikely.

Minneapolis residents raise concerns about Uptown Mall renovation. Oh, no! The Patchouli-Birkenstock Crowd is Triggered!

A fine example of Full Circle Liberalism, aka Socialism 360°. How I love stories like these...

FOX 9 KMSP: Minneapolis residents raise concern about Uptown Mall renovation:

Some possible changes could be coming to an age-old part of Uptown Minneapolis. Plans from the Park Board could potentially reduce the amount of parking on part of the plaza.
[.]
For more than a century, the Uptown Mall has been a shady oasis in one of the most densely-populated neighborhoods in the city.

Some neighbors worry possible changes to the park could cause it to lose its character.

“This is like going to St. Anthony Main and ripping up all the bricks,” said Uptown resident Steven Taylor. “Uptown doesn’t want that.”

Last spring, the Park Board released a new design to update the median between Hennepin Avenue and East lake of the Isles Parkway that would include a new plaza and play area by the Walker Library, a connection to the Midtown Greenway and community and rain gardens.

Park Board officials say a Community Advisory Committee is also considering getting rid of the streets in the two blocks closest to Lake of the Isles and turning them into green space for multi-use fields and a sand volleyball court.

“It was quite shocking for the community to hear about,” said East Isles Residents Assocation Ellen Van Iwaarden. (GASP! The Progs were shocked! Triggered! They didn't see it coming. - DD)

The East Isles Residents Association says neighbors are split on the possible plans for the park.

“There are some people who are absolutely for it, who think we shouldn’t be designing our parks around cars,” Van Iwaarden said. “But there are many who live in the apartments and park there.”

Nobody wants to tarnish one of the city’s hidden gems.

“I’m not opposed to getting rid of parking for the right reasons,” Taylor said. “I don’t think volleyball courts is the right reasons [sic].”

Understand this geographic area is a textbook definition of Progressivism.

Some folks in the area worry this renovation may cause the area to lose its character. WELCOME to what you've pushed on everyone else, everywhere else.  How does it feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel?

Renovation? Heck yes, DO IT! I have suggestions:

* Add a 24/7 bus line or light rail service.
* Add several pedestrian bridges, whether they're needed or not.
* A couple of amphitheaters. Why have only one?
* Since Minneapolis has a large homeless population, add several affordable-housing-in-a-box projects. Make them real tall and narrow buildings with the first level being zoned for commercial use. Dig deep underground parking facilities that will take years to complete. The benefits outweigh any short-term delays, don't they?
* Eliminate all vehicles and build several lanes for bicycles, skateboarding, scooters, roller-blading and unicorns.
* Design a costly, grand, obtuse, central-theme artwork. Maybe a gigantic, Plexiglas nonagon filled with liquid that glows or changes colors similar to a lava-lamp!
* Designate the renovated area a Gun Free Zone so no crime or vandalism will occur there, ever.
* Make all activities free; no-charge. Everything is Free! Always!

How is all this funded and paid for? Why ask such an unrelated and offensive question. Are you some Fascist Luddite who hates progress and development?

See, in the long run, the above will save so much money, it will pay for itself. A government or quasi-government bureaucracy that accurately predicts future tax revenue will say so, and projected revenue and savings are never wrong. Any financial burden by - say, taxpayers - will be short-lived. Besides, taxpayers have LOTS of money. Lots and Lots of it.

The benefits of renovating the Uptown Mall area? Beneficial to everyone, it will be a happy place where everyone is welcome.

Somewhere, hidden in all this renovation plan, there must be the belief that promotes this plan fights global warming global cooling climate change. How could anyone be against that?

DO IT! Make the renovation happen. Make the plan Grand and Bold! I'm all for it!

Full Circle Liberalism hits and so many NIMBYS start whining? This is the mystery of life. It's time to do your part, Uptown. Cars and parking are bad for the environment. Volleyball courts and green spaces are better for the environment!

Losing character and tarnishing gems, hidden or otherwise, is what Liberalism does best. Somehow, Liberals dislike living with it, though they expect - née demand - it from others.

We should probably doxx everyone who even slightly voices any opposition to this planned Uptown renovation.

Mohamed Noor verdict.

KSTP: Mohamed Noor found guilty of third-degree murder, manslaughter; not guilty second-degree murder.

Jurors have found former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor guilty of murder in the third degree and manslaughter in the second degree in connection to the fatal shooting of Justine Ruszczyk Damond.

However, he was found not guilty of murder in the second degree. Sentencing is scheduled for June 7.

Noor was handcuffed and immediately taken into custody after the verdict was announced.

Damond had called 911 to report a possible crime occurring outside her South Minneapolis home in July 2017 when she was shot while approaching the vehicle with Noor and his partner Matthew Harrity inside.

Noor had pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense.

Full background here.

More coverage on the story at WCCO - CBS News and KARE's @Lou Raguse.

Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau Brilliantly States The Obvious

The first openly gay Minneapolis Police Chief, Janee Harteau, said that, "Justine [Damond] did not have to die."

Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau

Now we know why Harteau is the PD Chief. It's because what is obvious; she has a far higher IQ than the rest of us (and the other candidates for police chief who didn't get the job), and because of her deep degree of compassion for people. And dogs, and I'll get to that in a moment.

From U.S. News and World Reports: 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An Australian woman should not have been shot to death by a Minneapolis police officer responding to her 911 call and the officer's actions "go against who we are in the department," the city's police chief said.

In her first public remarks on the killing, Chief Janee Harteau on Thursday defended Officer Mohamed Noor's training but lamented the death of 40-year-old bride-to-be Justine Damond, who was shot in the stomach as she approached a squad car near her home.

"This did not have to happen. Justine did not have to die," Harteau said.

Damond had called 911 twice late Saturday to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her house on Minneapolis' southwest side. Noor, who was in the passenger seat of a squad car, shot at Damond through the driver's side window.

"The actions in question go against who we are in the department, how we train and the expectations we have for our officers," Harteau said. "These were the actions and judgment of one individual."

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hitler Hodges said exactly the same:

 "...the fatal shooting of Justine Damond should not have happened."

Mayor Hitler Hodges. That's Harteau behind her on the left.

The shooting and killing of Jamar Clark should not have happened.

The shooting and killing of Philando Castile should not have happened.

The shooting of two services dogs should not have happened. Video below (no audio as footage taken by a security camera):

Boy, those two dogs, with their wagging tails, sure appear to pose a violent threat to the officer, huh? And then this LOSER Cop climbs the fence, acting - and hoping - that he wouldn't get caught. Thank God for that security camera footage.

Harteau calls the above video, "difficult to watch." Another, breathtakingly brilliant observation by the police chief.

Back to Officer Noor, claiming he was startled by Damond, (The Daily Mail), and he reacted by shooting her through the open window of the driver's side of the squad car.

Yes, I can see how a rather petite blonde woman dressed in pajamas would "startle" an officer and appear to pose a violent threat, causing the officer to react by firing a gun at the person before that person can be identified as friend or foe. In a different setting but same scenario, Noor could have killed his own child considering his quick trigger-finger.

Hodges praised the hiring of Noor last year on her Facebook page:

More from The Daily Mail:

...the [police] vehicle did not have its lights on and this may have been so as not to give any suspect notice that police had arrived and buy precious time to apprehend the target. That the car was unlit was disclosed by [fellow officer] Harrity to the BCA.

Both Noor and the BCA's version of events agree on the car's lights being off.According to Noor's version when they reached the end of the alley, they came across a waiting, panicking figure.

It was dark, and the figure was moving around and approached their vehicle.

Noor said he did not know whether the figure who rushed towards their vehicle was the 911 caller or even if it was a man or woman.

The police officer is SUPPOSED TO MAKE A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION BEFORE USING THEIR WEAPON.

And how does someone who the officer describes as " waiting, panicking" be viewed as a threat who is shot without being identified? How many "waiting, panicking" criminals stand around until the police arrive?

And the BCA  (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) agrees with Noor. What a coincidence. Can anyone actually believe that the BCA is, and can be, objective and independent? Please...

Noor, a law enforcement officer - To Protect and Serve - could not identify who was approaching the car, and he reacts by firing his gun? Had it been one of his colleagues, I guess Noor would have blindly shot a fellow officer.

Noor's reputation isn't exactly absent of controversy and complaints. Heavy.com:

A year ago, the arrival of Noor on the Minnesota police force was celebrated by the mayor and Somali community he hails from. There is a pending federal complaint against him, though, by a former social worker from Minneapolis who says Noor and other officers violated her constitutional rights[.]
[.]
“Body cameras were not turned on until after the shooting incident. The squad camera was not turned on."
[.]
[An] open federal case in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota was filed against Noor, two other police officers, and the City of Minneapolis, by a woman named Teresa M. Graham [the retired social worker].

...court documents say the complaint is an action for money damages arising out of a May 25, 2017 incident. The complaint accuses Noor and the other officers “without any reasonable or legal cause” of forcing “their way into Plaintiff’s house,” where they’re accused of having “violently and forcibly detained her, and transported her to a hospital against her will.”
[.]
According to KARE11, “Noor has two open complaints against him from 2017 and one from 2016,” although the station does not detail what they are about.

Harteau should be fired. Period. No discussion or debating it.

Hodges should resign. If not, she should be removed from office via an election recall.

Every time a tragedy occurs like any of those above, the Minneapolis Mayor and City Council and the Police Department tell us how this never should have happened, that they will work hard - oh, so very hard - to prevent anything like this ever happening again and, the next thing you know, it happens again.

If the citizens of Minneapolis fail in changing what is happening with the above incidents, and others like them, and if they fail to do it now - then it will never happen. Then, get used to stories like the above as daily events.

Harteau and Hodges have to go. Minneapolis...will you do what it takes to make that happen?
