Tea at Trianon: Murder & Mayhem in Minnesota

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Murder & Mayhem in Minnesota

From Tierney's Real News:

Almost 500 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) publicly accused Democrat Governor Tim Walz on X of being responsible for facilitating and covering up the massive fraud in Minnesota committed by Somalis. I was one of the first to report on this fraud long ago!
Tim Walz (referred to by MAGA as Tampon Tim) is a proud member of TEAM ILHAN in Minnesota - along with AG Keith Ellison, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Senator Tina Smith - and a card-carrying Communist aligned with the CCP.
Trust me, it’s not just Walz - it’s ALL of Team Ilhan and their co-conspirators in the Koch Libertarian party in Minnesota!
A statement was posted from an account called “Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees” on X, which claimed to represent more than 480 current DHS staff members.
The post claimed that Governor Tim Walz was “100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota,” asserting that employees repeatedly raised concerns about fraudulent activity within DHS programs but were met with “monitoring, threats, repression,” and efforts to discredit internal reports.
That account was created in 2023 and had nearly 17,000 followers. (Read more.)
