    I wish we had a publication here in Seattle brave enough to publish an article like that on the front page since we are facing the same situation.

    I’m so humbled at the kind words and shout-out. Geez, all I can say is everyone here at Ricochet has taught me so much, and I’m ever in awe at the depth and breadth of knowledge shared by all the members and contributors. And even when we disagree, hopefully we’re still learning. I can’t tell you what this place and all of you mean to me and getting me through some pretty rough times.

    According to City-Data Crime Index, Minneapolis has a crime index of 529.4 compared to the national average of 270.6. Minnesotans have an opportunity to learn from these already ominous prec- edents and avoid being another metro- politan area that fails its residents through hollow platitudes and terrible policy.

    Eye-popping summary. Minneapolis is such a cautionary tale of Progressive power.

    One of the satisfying aspects of being a Ricochet member is watching our members bubble up through the internet chatter and eventually reach a larger audience.  I remember when our Mollie Hemingway was just posting and hosting a podcast, and look at her now!  I could go on to name a few more but I’m sure to omit several, so I will refrain.  Those of you who have been longtime Ricochet members know them, I’m sure.  This place can be a launch pad for talent, and we get to see that talent being developed and honed to a sharp edge.

    Anyway, congratulations Jenna!  You do us proud.

    You’re quite generous with those words of encouragement. But if I may quote a phrase “It takes a village…” 😉 Thank you, sir. Everyone here makes each other better.

    @jennastocker is one of many Ricochetti that make this “The Place” for civil, smart and conservative (but I repeat myself) exchange of ideas.  I didn’t realize Ms. Hemingway groomed her skills here as well!  I found Ricochet from Powerline and joined just last week after years of interloping. Congrats Miss Jenna- the cream always comes to the top.

    Hey, I get that magazine!  I’ve also been to some of the live presentations Center of The American Experiment (the publisher) has given when they tour the state.

    Thank you! I really don’t deserve such praise. I’m glad you decided to officially join us here!!

    Jenna, I just finished reading your article. Great job! And I’m green with envy that you’re working with Center of the American Experiment, a superstar in grass-roots conservative activism and just what Minnesota, and America, desperately need right now.

    Thank so much. And the Center does great work – but with the state of the State right now, there’s a loooong way to go! But heck, gotta start somewhere.
