Safe Summer Nights 2024 Flyer PDF

Tom Campion started St Paul Summer Nights as he saw that it was important to have citizens who have a good relationship to the First Responders (Police & Fire Departments) in their city.

At a Safe Summer Night expect:

The SPPD and other First Responders have kid activities (climbing wall, bounce house, face painting) demonstrations by the Mounted Patrol, and sometimes the K-9 Unit, and what to do if there is a kitchen fire. They will bring out the Bearcat “SWAT” vehicle.

There are free burgers, hot dogs, chips, healthy snacks, and beverages.  Their flyer this year says there is a FREE Bike giveaway as well.

For more information please go to the St Paul Police Department’s Community Engagement Division website.

2024 #ProLifeSunday : Let’s Celebrate Mothers

Posted on May 11, 2024 by Publius Jr
Not enough flowers to say, "Thanks Mom for all you do for me."

Not enough flowers to say, “Thanks Mom for all you do for me.”

This Sunday is Mother’s Day and we would like to thank all the mothers out there for being there at every step of life.  You’ve nurtured, supported, and loved us.  You’ve made us into the people we are today.

#ProLifeSunday Thanks to Mothers

not enough flowers to say, "Thanks mom."

not enough flowers to say, “I love you mom.”

There aren’t enough flowers and presents to say thank you to mothers. We will also say there aren’t enough ties, tools, and aftershave cologne to say thank you to committed fathers.

We at SaintPaulRepublicans.us celebrate the entire family. We include Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers & Sisters & Cousins, Friends & Colleagues.  Family values begin with God, the Holy Trinity.  Adam and Eve had God actively involved in their family to help them avoid the potential problems that arise during the rearing of children.  Our extended families have helped us grow in areas that our parents may have overlooked, or helped us to relate to our parents to know that they were once like us at one point in the past.

Cutting any part of the family out of the picture diminishes the resources one can draw upon.

While there might be a number of fantastic mothers who vote for Democrat candidates, we have to take issue with them because they support the destruction of life during a pregnancy.  They support Planned Parenthood, a taxpayer supported organization that draws upon the tenets of Eugenics that were supported by their founder Margaret Sanger and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who had been their attorney.  Eugenics derived from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the idea of “survival of the fittest.”  Sanger believed that there are certain undesirables in the human population.

We can’t believe we have to say this, but men can’t be mothers (It takes a woman to be a mom). Men are not biologically capable of becoming pregnant or giving birth as a mother can. It is spiritually illness that is telling people who are either gullible, recruited by people who seek to exploit them for their perverted ideas, or have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These children who are preyed upon need protection, and those who prey upon them need to be separated from society into prison. This is what happens when the government and churches stop speaking the Truth of Jesus Christ and embrace the lies from the Father of Lies. Parents who actively participate in the mutilation and essentially sterilization of their children to help them change the appearance to appear like the opposite gender are evil and should be arrested for extreme child abuse and separated from those children to prevent further harm.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother’s Day

To end on a positive note we would like to thank all the Pro-life Mothers serving as legislators in the Minnesota State Legislature.

Happy Mother’s Day

It is a different sort of Mother’s Day this year as Roe v Wade has been overturned and extreme abortion has been passed into law in Minnesota.  It is another different kind of holiday, as it is the 3rd year after I, Publius Jr, will be without my best friend, my mom. Mom died at the age of 98 in September 2021. Not sure what I’ll do for the holiday. ~~ Publius Jr.

2024 #ProLifeSundays Celebrate with Your Whole Family, Friends & Colleagues Throughout the Year

Posted on May 10, 2024 by Publius Jr

Celebrating Life begins with your family, extended family, friends and colleagues.

We at saintpaulrepublicans.us would like to follow a tradition started by our admin Publius Jr who is the administrator since 2012.

In 2003 his father passed away in July. The attention of his aunts and uncles to him and his siblings during the initial bereavement period needed some sort of recognition. So the next year in 2004 he let his aunts and uncles know that he appreciated them in his life. He also created Aunts and Uncles day in July the 2nd Sunday to say thanks. It was actually very close to the birthday of one of his 4 uncles.

He noticed that siblings or cousins were not recognized so he started up Brothers, Sisters & Cousins day the 2nd Sunday of August. Some say there is a day in April for that but what can one really do in the month of April; no one picnics/BBQs in April. You can do more on a warm August Sunday.

So when He started in late May 2012 as the administrator of this site he wrote articles promoting the Family days of Mothers, Fathers, Aunts & Uncles, Brothers-Sisters & Cousins, and Grandparents Days. He hoped the new holidays would catch on everywhere.

In 2017 He started calling these holidays #PROLIFESundays. He wanted to include Friends & Colleagues Day in October 2017 but his self-imposed deadline for that article came and went as he scrambled to post Candidate Election articles.

Why celebrate a day for Friends & Colleagues? On an average day you spend a third of your day with your colleagues at work; and friends give you advice and give you some breathing space in forms of athletic outings or fun activities. Let’s face it not everyone is married and friends are the life line for many single people. Paul had Barnabas, and Jesus had 12 main disciples who were friends and also his colleagues. Life would be so bland without your friends. So why not say thank you to them for enriching your life?

Why #ProlifeSundays?

We Christian Conservative Republicans see nurturing and supporting life as natural as breathing. Those who mislabel themselves as Pro-Choice are really Anti-Life. You see Anti-Life in many things they do: making healthcare decisions for you; putting government concerns before you; stealing your salary in incremental bits called taxes and spending it on programs that take your “choices” away from you; and putting unelected judges as governors over the elected Representatives, Senators, State Governors, and our President. We are actually “Pro-Choice” as in the idea of allowing you to decide on how to live your life without the government meddling in your affairs. As for reproductive rights as the Anti-Life people refer to, we believe you have a choice on whether to engage in risky behavior outside of your marriage or before it that possibly might result in a pregnancy. You can refrain from letting your passion take over in those circumstances especially if you’re not married.

Lately the Anti-Life People have been pushing their new morality of same sex marriages and self identifying themselves as the opposite gender than they were born as. Now they add surgical “gender affirming care,” aka mutilation of minors who don’t need parental notification, nor do they get informed consent before they are forever changed whether they change their minds or not to embrace their new life choice. They are choosing to be sterile based upon lies and encouragement from really demented demon possessed people. If one decides they want to give up that lifestyle it is against the law now to provide counseling to receive “conversion therapy.”

Easter, or Resurrection Day is the ultimate celebration of Life as Jesus Christ conquered death for us.

So Celebrate Life with your family & friends in everything you do.

Dates of #PROLIFESundays:

March 31          Resurrection (Easter) Day
May 12              Mother’s Day
June 16             Father’s Day
July  14             Aunts’ & Uncles’ Day
August 11         Brothers, Sisters & Cousins Day
September 8  Grandparents Day
October 20      Friends & Colleagues Day

Father’s Day this year falls on another Pro Life Holiday of Juneteenth Weekend. A day that commemorates Texas slaves finally hearing they were set free by President Abraham Lincoln on June 19, 1865, almost 2 months after his death and 2 and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation (an Executive Order by Lincoln) was given.  It is a celebration of freedom from a life of bondage.

In November there is a #ProLifeThursday on Thanksgiving where most people give thanks for their God given blessings, their family and job; eat well, and watch football.

In December saintpaulrepublicans.us celebrates the entire month the history and contributions of Christians in American History.

Happy Varfrudagen (sounds like Vaffeldagen or Waffle Day) March 25th

Posted on March 25, 2024 by Publius Jr

Waffle Day is a tradition that is celebrated in Sweden, and to a lesser extent elsewhere, on March 25.  Waffles are usually eaten on this day. The name comes from Vårfrudagen (“Our Lady’s Day“), which in vernacular Swedish sounds almost like Våffeldagen (waffle day).

Our Lady’s Day is celebrated on March 25 (nine months before Christmas), the Christian holiday of Annunciation.  It is the day that the Virgin Mary found out that she was to be Jesus’ mother.  The Archangel Gabriel told her this.  We believe that Jesus was not born in December due to a number of factors like how the shepherds were herding their flock, and that there was no mention of Hanukkah, which had been practiced for about 150 years or so.  Until the actual day is determined we err on the day as being December 25 as Jesus’ birthday, and the Immaculate Conception on March 25th.

Here is the American Swedish Institute’s Recipe for some great waffles.

Try our recipe to make your waffles extra crispy and delicious. Serve with jam in lightly whipped cream.

Recipe for Waffles

  • 1.25 cups cold water
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 cups of whipping cream
  • butter for the waffle iron
  • whipping cream
  • jam

Mix water, flour and salt until smooth. Whip cream until stiff and fold together with batter. Bake with butter in a waffle iron at full power and put them on a grid to cool. If you don’t have a waffle iron or sandwich press, cook them as you would pancakes. Beat the cream and place on waffles with raspberry, strawberry or cloudberry jam.

Wikipedia was used and the St Cloud Times (SC Times) websites for this article. I noticed that the American Swedish Institute has dropped coverage of Varfrudagen (and thus our original link to them went to a deadlink) and doesn’t even mention Easter on their events calendar. Wondering if they’ve gone secular and have cancelled Christianity. I am half Swedish and I enjoy this holiday. If you are challenged and mixing together the above recipe, I recommend the Krusteauz Waffle Mix. Just follow the directions on the box. You’ll need eggs, and some sort of vegetable oil, I use light tasting olive oil. I also use Hamel Real Maple Syrup made in Hamel MN. ~~ Publius Jr.

Wentworth Cheswell Black Patriot & Son of Liberty

Posted on February 3, 2024 by Publius Jr

This post was originally posted on February 26, 2017 on this website. It is copied from the Wallbuilders.com website. ~~ Publius Jr.

A Black Patriot: Wentworth Cheswell

BLACK REVOLUTIONARY ERA PATRIOT
Wentworth Cheswell
(1746-1817)
At WallBuilders we strive to “present America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious, and constitutional heritage,” so Wentworth Cheswell (sometimes Chiswell or Cheswill) is a perfect subject for our attention. He was the grandson of black slave Richard Cheswell (who early gained his freedom and in 1717 and became the first black to own property in the colony of New Hampshire); and he was the son of Hopestill Cheswell, a notable homebuilder who built the homes of several patriot leaders, including John Paul Jones and the Rev. Samuel Langdon. Wentworth was named after the famous Wentworth family, from whom came several state governors, including Benning Wentworth – the governor at the time of Wentworth’s birth.

In 1763, Wentworth began attending an academy in Byfield, Massachusetts (30 miles from his home), where for four years he received an extensive education, studying Latin, Greek, swimming, horsemanship, reading, writing, and arithmetic.

In 1767, he returned home and became a schoolteacher, also marrying Mary Davis (they eventually had 13 children – 4 sons and 9 daughters). At the age of 21, he had already become an established and educated property owner and a stalwart in his local church, even holding a church pew.

The following year, Wentworth was elected town constable – the first of many offices he held throughout his life. Two years later in 1770, he was elected town selectman (the selectmen were considered the “town fathers” of a community). Other town offices in which he served included seven years as Auditor, six years as Assessor, two years as Coroner, seven years as town Moderator (presiding over town meetings), and twelve years as Justice of the Peace, overseeing trials, settling disputes, and executing deeds, wills, and legal documents. (View an 1813 document signed by Cheswell as justice of the peace.) For half a century – including every year from 1768 until 1817 – Wentworth held some position in local government.

In addition to his civic service, Wentworth was also a patriot leader. In fact, the town selected him as the messenger for the Committee of Safety – the central nervous system of the American Revolution that carried intelligence and messages back and forth between strategic operational centers. Serving in that position, Wentworth undertook the same task as Paul Revere, making an all-night ride to warn citizens of imminent British invasion.

In April 1776, he signed a document in which he pledged, “at the risk of . . . live and fortune,” to take up arms to resist the British, and in September 1777, he enlisted in a company of Light Horse Volunteers commanded by Colonel John Langdon (Langdon later became one of the 55 Founding Fathers who drafted the U. S. Constitution, then a framer of the Bill of Rights, and later the New Hampshire governor). Langdon’s company made a 250-mile march to Saratoga, New York, to join with the Continental Army under General Horatio Gates to defeat British General Burgoyne at the Battle of Saratoga – the first major American victory in the Revolution.

After returning from Saratoga, in the spring of 1778, Wentworth was elected to the convention to draft the state’s first constitution, but some unknown event prevented his attendance.

Wentworth also served as Newmarket’s unofficial historian, copying town records from 1727 (including the records of various church meetings) and chronicling old stories of the town as well as its current events. Additionally, having investigated and made extensive notes on numerous artifacts and relics he discovered in the region around Newmarket, he is considered the state’s first archeologist. Therefore, when the Rev. Jeremy Belknap published his famous three-volume History of New Hampshire (1784-1792), he relied on (and openly acknowledged) much information he gleaned from Wentworth.

In 1801, Wentworth helped start the town library to preserve and disseminate useful knowledge and virtue. His commitment to providing helpful information is not surprising, for not only had he become a school teacher in 1767 but in 1776 he was elected as one of five men to regulate and oversee the schools of Newmarket.

In 1817, in his 71st year of age, Wentworth succumbed to typhus fever and was buried on the family farm, where other members of his family were later buried. In fact, when his daughter Martha died (his last surviving heir), her will provided that any members or descendants of the family could forever forward be buried on the farm. Unfortunately, that family graveyard long lay in disrepair, but in recent years friends and family have managed to restore it.

The legacy of Wentworth Cheswell is a lasting one: a patriot, teacher, and church leader; an historian, archeologist, and educator; a judge and official elected to numerous offices (he is considered the first black American elected to office in America). He is truly one of our forgotten patriots but he is a laudable example for all Americans – a hero worth remembering and honoring.

2024 Black American History and Heritage Month

Posted on February 1, 2024 by Publius Jr

This month We will post a number of stories about the contributions of Black Americans who have contributed to achievements to better our nation and our culture.

Many of them you probably have never learned about in school. Which is not surprising what with the eroding nature of our Public School System. In St Paul Public Schools nearly 3/4 of the students are not Caucasian and they seem to be neglected by the DFL who like to pose with them for photo ops during their campaigns for School Board.

We are glad to produce articles about Black Americans. They have contributed the most and have sacrificed the most for their freedom and a shot at the American Dream. The stated goal of the 1854 Republican Party was to free the slaves and ensure their civil & voting rights. During the Civil War we secured their freedom and during the Reconstruction Period from 1865-1875 we Republicans enacted the 14th & 15th Amendments that gave Citizenship, Civil Rights, and Voting Rights to former slaves. Most people don’t know that the Slaves almost were given their freedom at the start of our country but that motion failed in the Constitutional Convention. This is where the worst compromise was put into place the 3/5 clause that would award southern states with Representation for the number of slaves they had.

The best thing Black Americans can do is learn about what rights they have and to stand up for their beliefs by going out to vote their conscience this can begin on February 27, 2024 at your precinct caucus. To find a caucus near you in Minnesota go to the Secretary of State’s website and click on caucusfinder.sos.state.mn.us, after February 7th.

Get involved and be as Maj Toure says, “be a solutionary in your neighborhood.”

There is more History to be found this month, and we are glad to present it to you.

MN Secretary of State’s Office Needs Some Oversight Now!

Posted on January 28, 2024 by Publius Jr

Update: The Election Judge website has been updated. I, Publius Jr, had asked Rep Mary Franson if the MN Legislature could have a hearing about the sloppiness and slow to update the crucial election related pages at the MN Secretary of State’s Website. She replied that the Minority Party can’t call for a hearing. So I contacted my old high school American Government Teacher (he was first elected when I was senior in high school), Rep Gene Pelowski. I asked him about the Election Judge website and showed him the other article I wrote about the caucusfinder, and he said he had just talked with Secretary Simon. He said he would let him know. About a week later the site had been updated. Both pages have been updated.  I did not yet get an acknowledgement email or thanks from the MN Secretary of State’s Office. I don’t expect one either…but it would be nice.  ~~ Publius Jr.

It hasn’t been very long since I, Publius Jr, posted the story about the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Caucusfinder website needing to be fixed. Now there is a new cause for concern with the Office’s website directing people who are interested in becoming Election Judges in the State of Minnesota.

Occasionally I’ll get a request from a candidate or even from the Republican Party of Minnesota to do a task such as proofread a website or check for deadlinks.

Well the latter was the task. I was to go to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Website to check to see if the links to the various cities and county elections operations listed on the site were correct.

How hard is it to do data entry at the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office?

They must have DEI hires doing the data entry there. Or more likely they haven’t updated the website links since 2022.

Election Judge Application Website

www.sos.mn.gov/elections-voting/get-involved/become-an-election-judge/#how-to-apply

If you go to the MN SOS’ Election Judge Website you’ll see a number of Cities listed as well as Counties listed. The hypertext links are supposed to go somewhere but as I found out in my beta testing of the links, some go nowhere, or like Bloomington MN they have an Election Judge information page, but you can’t fill out an online application on the page the MN SOS Website sends you to. They do have a listing of what an election judge does make for a salary, and it looks quite low for such an important job. Ramsey County Elections actually pay between $15-$20 per hour depending on your job which is at least $5 more per hour than most of the other Cities and Counties in the State. (Hint; Republicans sign up at Ramsey County Elections to ensure party balance).

Let’s look at the mistakes on the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Election Judge Page

Deadlinks and Hidden Application Links

So not to laugh at an incompetent staff at the MN SOS, we will put in the correct link in Brackets like this [correct link].

Apple Valley

Page not Found

[www.ci.apple-valley.mn.us/168/Elections-Voting] On the page the first link on the bottom of the page will take you to an applications app.

Bloomington

Could not find a link to apply, though on the Election Judge page that the MNSOS website is linked to there is a lot of information about being an election judge, but no application link. The only way perhaps is contacting the City Clerk at this number 952-563-8729, and email at cityclerk@BloomingtonMN.gov

Columbia Heights

The link is good but, the application link is 2/3 down the page under “How to Apply.”

Here’s the link [www.columbiaheightsmn.gov/government/elections_and_voting/election_judge_interest_form.php]

Crystal

Deadlink

[cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_10879634/File/Resident/Voting/EJApp.pdf] If you have questions contact the Deputy City Clerk at Chee.Yang@crystalmn.gov, 763-531-1131

Duluth

Page Not Found

[duluthmn.gov/city-clerk/elections-voter-services/be-an-election-judge]

How hard is it to do data entry at the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office?

East Bethel

Has an Application PDF but not one you can change online. You have to download it fill it out and then send it into the City Clerk via fax, regular mail, or email.

Elk River

Has a good link but then to apply it goes to their job opportunity website.

Fridley

They have a changeable PDF Form, but it’s dated from 2022. What have they been doing for 2 years? [www.fridleymn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2245/Election-Judge-Application]

Inver Grove Heights

The link is good but you have to go the Jobs & Volunteering page to sign up [www.ighmn.gov/522/Jobs-Volunteering] then click “Apply”

Lakeville

Page not Found

[www.lakevillemn.gov/1217/Become-an-Election-Judge]

Minnetonka

They have a good link but this is what they say about applying to be an Election Judge

“We are not accepting applications for election judges at this time.”

We sent them an inquiry whether that’s just for the Presidential Primary or whether it’s for the entire year. We also asked them if they have Major Party Balance at their Polling Locations.

UPDATE:

The City Clerk of Minnetonka replied and said the notation above on their website refers to the Presidential Primary only. They will need more election judges for the August Primary and for the General Election in November. The City Clerk replied to the second question saying they do have a Major Party Balance at the 8 Polling locations they have.

Moorhead

The link goes to the general voting page. You can see on the left drop down menu it should have went to the Election Judge Page

[www.cityofmoorhead.com/government/elections-and-voting/election-judge-application]

New Brighton

This should really be in the Ramsey County Elections website. When you go to this link it will direct you to click on the Ramsey County Elections website. One has to wonder if anyone in the MN SOS knows this?

Rochester

They have a Presidential Primary Specific Application. One has to wonder if it is for beyond the Primary.

Rosemount

Unsecure link which set off an alarm on my computer

[www.rosemountmn.gov/302/Election-Judges] Had to use Brave Search Engine to find the government page for Rosemount.

St Louis Park

They have a Survey Monkey sign up. This is a bit improper as Survey Monkey might use the information from those that sign up to be Election Judges to sell their names like a lot of platforms do.

How hard is it to do data entry at the St Louis Park City Clerk’s Office?

Houston County

Has a document you can download that you would have to print out and return in person. It’s not a PDF.

Olmsted County

They have a good link but they make the set up a bit confusing as they have a Job for Election Assistant [www.governmentjobs.com/careers/olmsted/jobs/3428770/election-assistant?pagetype=jobOpportunitiesJobs]. Then below that there’s a subject heading “How Can I Become an Election Judge?” Then there is a link to be an Election Judge in Rochester, then an application on the bottom of the page.

If you’re not in Rochester but live in Olmsted County and want to be an Election Judge just avoid all the confusing nonsense on this page and go to the bottom of it and fill it out.

How hard is it to do data entry at the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office?

Need Statewide Standards on Election Judge Applications

It would be great if the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office set a standard in which every County Elections Office or the City Clerk could have a pick of one or two options that require a changeable PDF, or a paper application one could fill out. From what it looks like there is no oversight from the Minnesota State Legislature.

Just for transparency sake this website isn’t affiliated nor associated with the RPM aka the MNGOP.

I do honor the endorsements of the endorsed candidates from their party and post those candidates campaign contact information on our candidates page. ~~ Publius Jr.
