Do Black Americans have a friend in the White House? 11/09 by The Ron and Don Show | News Podcasts: the team of Ronald A. Edwards and Don Allen open the phone lines early in the program to talk about the historic win of the businessman Donald J. Trump. Many in the black community are mourning Hillary Clinton's loss but don't understand the the positive points of a Trump win. We have a lot of work to do and since president Obama has been in office for eight years and has not done much for black people; lets see what Trump does.

Nigga you better run; they's shooting in downtown Minneapolis!
Is downtown Minneapolis safe? Call in, tell us what you think 10/05 by The Ron and Don Show | News Podcasts: Downtown Minneapolis...fine dining, dancing, people watching and bullets flying through the air. Its not the Minneapolis we come from, but a downtown area void of responsibilities to the people of this great city. Jobs, high umemployment and the lack of community leadership is partly to blame, but hell - this has happened before. Our phone lines will be open.

MN Candidate Faces Scandal in Wake of Primary Victory
By Preya Samsundar
lhan Omar emerged victorious from her primary as a media darling, but a look into her past reveals possible marriage and immigration fraud
Minneapolis, MN- Ilhan Omar became the biggest story of Tuesday’s Minnesota Primary election. Omar defeated 21 term incumbent Phyllis Kahn for the DFL nomination for state representative in House District 60B. It is historic because Kahn is the longest serving member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, having held her seat since 1974. Omar will make history, if elected in November, as the first Somali-American elected to the Minnesota House.
On Friday, Powerlineblog ran a story that could severely damage Omar’s chances of making history. A reader tipped Powerlineblog to a post from a Somali community forum website post that suggests Omar may be directly involved in marriage and immigration fraud. A Somali Spot user posted information last week alleging Omar married her brother in order for him to immigrate to the US, despite the fact she’s been married to the father of her three children for over a decade.
Powerline cached the original post from Somali Spot that is now removed. It shows screen shots of marriage records from the Hennepin County website showing that Omar was married to Ahmed Hirsi in 2002. Hirsi is the father of Omar’s three children and is pictured with Hirsi and their children on Omar’s campaign website.

The Ron and Don Show hosts Town Hall Meeting with MN SD-59 Candidates plus more (Wed. 8:30pm)
We don’t hear much about the investigation on the killing of the two-year-old child in north Minneapolis; it seems the attention is focused on the police shooting of a black man. When we ignore what’s happening to our children, we ignore the importance of liberty, justice and freedom. Local community “hacktivist” have their priorities all mixed up…Ron and Don are here to put them back on track.

(Note: Senator Bobby Joe Champion has not answered request to appear – much like the work he does in the community.)

Tune in on Wednesday, August 3 at 8:30 p.m. for the award-winning program The Ron and Don Show hosted by civil rights activist and historical Ronald A. Edwards and publisher and founder of the Independent Business News Networks Don Allen.
On Wednesday’s program the team bring you two of the three candidates running against incumbent Bobby Joe Champion for the senate seat in SD-59.
About Jennifer Carnahan
Jennifer Carnahan spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder at some of the top Fortune 500 companies, including General Mills, McDonald’s and Ecolab. Despite her success, Carnahan said, she needed more style in her life. Last year, the business executive left the security of her office job to pursue a dream of opening a clothing boutique in northeast Minneapolis. Primrose Park debuted in October, and while Carnahan, 38, has achieved her long-held goal, it hasn’t been easy. On days when the cash register hardly opens, she is reminded of her personal motto, displayed on the walls of the cozy store: “Dream Big. Be Happy” (Blanchette, Star Tribune, 2015). (Read more about Jennifer here.)
About Patwin Lawrence
Lawrence, 39, is a native of South Carolina who has lived in the Twin Cities for over 13 years. He received his bachelor’s degree from the College of Charleston in 1998. He was a co-founder and former director of TORCH Community, former Minneapolis Urban League board member, and he was appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton in 2011 to the Council on Black Minnesotans’ board of directors where he served three years of his four-year term as board chair. “The residents of Senate District 59 can no longer afford to have leadership at any level focused on bringing benefits to a few nor continued failure to take substantive action on viable solutions which would effectively reduce disparities plaguing the district and the state.” (Read more about Patwin Lawrence here.)
Both Carnahan and Lawrence are aware of the current deliberations to resolve disparities, there are some good solutions, but believes most are cosmetic. Lawrence states, “There is a systemic problem with our legislative operations. This is why certain segments of Minnesota sound like a broken record.” Carnahan replied, “Voters are tired of being asked to support incumbent’s election cycle after election cycle for nothing substantive in return. Issues are not being sufficiently addressed even though both the legislature and executive branches have been repeatedly advised on the matter.”
Both agree that solutions should be community driven, the community dictating to their public servants what the solutions should be, not dictated by the public servants and especially not from the “few” who expect to benefit monetarily.
Join us for this special program with updates on current events of last several weeks.

Jennifer Carnahan steps forward to challenge incumbent senator Bobby Joe “No Show” Champion
Editor’s note: Senate District 59 has been represented by an
incumbent senator who believes that helping a few friends to gain access to
funding is better than collectively working with the whole community. Related stories: School

THE BREAKDOWN OF EDUCATION LEADERSHIP IN MINNEAPOLIS
By Radcliffe Norman – Political Analysis (at-large)
Minnesota's fifty-ninth state senate district is represented
by Democratic Senator Bobby Joe Champion. Minnesota state senators represent an
average of 79,163 residents. After the 2000 Census, each member represented
73,425 residents (BalllotPedia, 2016).
Today another contender has entered the race; meet Jennifer:
corporate executive, business owner and today challenging the incumbent senator
from north Minneapolis Bobby Joe Champion. Jennifer joins the ever popular social media,
print and door knocking DFL candidate Patwin Lawrence who has broken records in
the number of community following him on his campaign Facebook page.

Jennifer Carnahan, a Minnesota native, is a strong believer
in the American Dream. Adopted from
South Korea in 1977, Carnahan's parents - John and Cindra - taught her if she
could dream it, she could live it. And
since she was a young girl, Jennifer has been chasing her dreams.

Minnesota: SD 59 candidate Patwin Lawrence challenges incumbent to Community Forum
Editor's note: At this posting, senate district incumbent Senator Bobby Joe Champion as refused to contact groups attempting to set up a community forum with the SD 59 candidates. Patwin Lawrence is prepared go public with what could be some serious concerns about Senator Champion's tenure in the Minnesota Senate.

Minneapolis, Minn. – Sen. Champion has denied his constituency an opportunity to participate in the political process in the upcoming August 9th primary. Patwin Lawrence who is challenging Sen. Champion in the August primary requested several times this week to have a debate/candidate forum with the incumbent.
On last Wednesday, SD59 Chair Jeff Strand, in an email communication with Mr. Lawrence, declined the idea of a debate/candidate forum. Lawrence gave Champion till 5pm on Friday, July 22 to make a decision whether he would support or deny his constituents the opportunity to have a debate/forum.
This type of behavior is not surprising, but typical of Sen. Champion. In May, Sen. Champion agreed to have a community meeting with North Minneapolis constituents questioning the $35 million appropriated to various non-profits in the recent legislative session. The meeting has not been scheduled.
An important piece of Lawrence’s platform is if he is elected to the state senate, he will have town hall meetings around the district before each legislative session to collate constituency ideas and craft a community driven legislative agenda to take to St. Paul. He would also regularly meet with constituency, especially at their request.
