Rejoice Minnesota Vikings fans living in enemy territory.

Apparently, Milwaukee is part of Minnesota. This, according to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.

“If you know Minnesota well, and I know it well — especially Milwaukee — it’s changed,” she said during her program on Wednesday. “It has never recovered from 2020 and it is not the same place. And Tim Walz was empathizing with all the DEI initiatives that were swirling about.”

Ingraham and her panel were discussing positions of diversity, equity and inclusion that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz holds. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, picked Walz as her running mate on Tuesday. During his time as governor, the murder of George Floyd and subsequent riots happened in Minneapolis.

What followed was a national racial and social justice movement that emphasized diversity, equity and inclusion. Many organizations, both public and private, adopted initiatives or policy changes that they believe helps bring about more diversity, racial equity and inclusion.

Republicans view the initiatives as a way to spark more division and hate. Fox News is politically a right-wing network and is also the most watched network in all of television in weekday primetime, according to Nielsen.

Ingraham’s remark caught the attention of many on social media. Here are some reactions:

A new documentary about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers — to date, still the only Brewers team to play in a World Series — will have its big-screen debut exclusively at 12 Marcus Theatres in Wisconsin in September, Deadline.com reported Wednesday.

According to the entertainment industry news site, “Just a Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers” will debut Sept. 13. According to Marcus Theatres, the movie will be shown at the Hillside, Majestic, Menomonee Falls, North Shore, Ridge and South Shore cinemas in the Milwaukee area; Bay Park, Oshkosh and Valley Grand cinemas in the Green Bay/Fox Valley area; Point Cinema in Madison; Renaissance Cinema in Sturtevant; and Sheboygan Cinema in Sheboygan.

“We are thrilled that we’re able to share this compelling, emotional and just plain amazing story with Brewers fans in Wisconsin, and especially grateful to our partners at Marcus Theatres for letting fans see the triumph and heartbreak of the magical ’82 season play out on the big screen,” “Just a Bit Outside” producer Kelly Kahl told Deadline.

“Just a Bit Outside” recounts the story of that improbable Brewers season, when after a sub-.500 start the team fired manager Buck Rodgers, replaced him with hitting coach Harvey Kuenn, and the veteran-laden team started to take off. Battling injuries, the team won the American League East title on the final day of the season, then came back to win the AL Championship Series and go to the World Series to face the St. Louis Cardinals.

Among those interviewed for the documentary, according to Deadline, are Brewers stars Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Ted Simmons, Gorman Thomas, Rollie Fingers, Ben Oglivie, Jim Gantner, Cecil Cooper and Pete Vuckovich, as well as then-owner Bud Selig and Hall of Fame announcer Bob Uecker.

The documentary also explores Milwaukee’s love affair with the ’82 Brewers, including spontaneous parades celebrating the team when they won — and when they lost.

“The story is about the love affair between a down-on-its-luck blue-collar city, and a perfectly matched blue-collar team … one that continues to this day, 40 years later,” the movie’s official website says.

Kahl and producer-director Sean Hanish are both Wisconsin natives. Kahl, former president of CBS Entertainment, was born in Burlington and is a University of Wisconsin-Madison alum. Hanish grew up in Brookfield and studied film at UW-Madison.

Across our area, communities are taking part in National Night Out.

Their National Night Out will be held off Good Hope Road at the Evangel Assembly of God church. Taylor and Tischer say 35 different community groups will be there as a resource for those who attend.

People who come to the event will enjoy free food and entertainment along with a behind the scenes look at the Milwaukee Police Department. Officers say events like these are an important part of community outreach.

TMJ4, Tom Durian.

“That’s like our super bowl of community engagement, where kids families can come out,” said Lt. Taylor. “[You can] see police in uniform in a friendly manner so we can build those relationships now. So, when we do go out in those communities and events happen they feel comfortable giving us information so it’s a good chance for us to break down barriers and build relationships.”

National Night Out for District 4 starts at 3:00 p.m. and runs through 7:00. The address is 9920 Good Hope Road.
