READ MORE ►Recently, I was accused of gutter politics by Michigan state board of education candidate Sonjalita Hulbert for pointing out her history of supporting Black Lives Matter.
Hulbert posted a video response to my blog in which she suggested it is beyond the pale to hold a political candidate accountable to their on-the-record statements regarding pressing issues.

(0)We got a glimpse into the warped worldview of the far left when a sitting Member of the U.S. Congress asked Attorney General Bill Barr why federal agents did not tear gas peaceful protesters who opposed Governor Whitmer’s coronavirus lockdown here in Michigan.
Many Democrats seem to be living in an alternate universe in which there are no masked and armed lunatics tearing down statues, attacking police officers and motorists, setting fire to cars, businesses, churches, police stations, and federal courthouses — and yes, shooting and killing people.
In this fabricated reality, the streets of Portland have not been illegally occupied by violent would-be revolutionaries every night for the past two months and counting. In this fantasy world, the utopian experiment that the Democrat mayor of Seattle dubbed a new “summer of love” did not end in utter disaster, with armed terrorists started shooting black teenagers within the police-free “paradise.”

The movement has razed cities, desecrated cultural icons, unleashed an orgy of violence, and made a mockery of the rule of law. It is an existential threat to our civilization and has the nation on the verge of civil war.
Unfortunately, a Republican candidate for the Michigan board of education – Sonjalita Hulbert – has a long history of supporting Black Lives Matter with very left-wing stances on social justice issues.

I cannot imagine the level of work it took to produce this video.
Clearly it threatens someone. Efforts to dissuade people from taking it seriously have been non stop since it was announced. Effort to outright ban it are next.
Already, Twitter warns users that they might get a virus from watching it, FB deletes when they find it, Google gives you some amazingly synchronized results when searching for it, and the maker’s site has been DDOS attacked non stop since it was released.
It is one and a quarter hour long. For those of you who know how, please download, share, and keep it alive. The makers grant a full license to distribute freely.
(8)Nuh Uh.(1)We are told that opposing mail-in voting is “suppressing the vote.”
We are told this by the progressive left which has designs on permanent minority rule, ala socialism. Clearly, opposition to fraud is straight up patriotic IMO, and one has only to look at those who promote such dangerous (to our Republic) activity to know what the right position is on this.
Mail-in voting, while related to absentee voting, is not quite the same. Absentee voting has historically had a fairly reliable record. Even with the substantial damage done to it by Michigan’s proposal 3 in 2018, it was – and has been considered ‘safe and trustworthy.’
Even so, there are issues that apparently need to be managed better, and may give pause to expanding such issues legislatively. The August primary in Michigan has already revealed that even with Absentee voting.
There appears to be evidence of attempted fraud. Today’s Epoch times reports:

(8)Nuh Uh.(0)What can we learn from the 2020 primary elections? This article explains what the winning candidates had in common. I wrote similar articles in 2014, 2016, and 2018.
They don’t call it the establishment for nothing Establishment candidates won most state house races. They have the inside track on fundraising, endorsements, and organization. None of the winners are outright moderates. Most could be considered establishment conservatives. Solid conservative winners include Chase Turner, Steve Carra, Ken Borton, and John Damoose.
Experience counts Elected experience is valuable for winning candidates. Ken Borton is a county commissioner, and establishment conservative winners like Robert Bezotte, TC Clements, and Dave Morgan are also elected officials.
Incumbency Matters All incumbent Republicans won renomination. Beating an incumbent in a primary is very hard. In recent years, the only conservative challengers who beat a Republican incumbent are Tim Walberg in 2006, Lee Chatfield in 2014, and Matt Hall in 2018. Certainly many incumbents deserve primary challenges, but conservatives have limited resources. Winning an open seat is much easier than beating an incumbent. Politicians can still be held to account when they run for other offices. There are still some benefits to primary challenges, though, as they may encourage the incumbent to vote better for awhile and may help the challenger to win an open seat later.
If at first you don’t succeed Chase Turner almost beat an incumbent in the 2018 primary. This time, he easily won the primary, advancing to a competitive general election. Candidates who lost this time should look for opportunities to run again in the future.
Don’t split the vote Conservatives did much better this year than in past years. HD-58 may have been lost to a less conservative candidate due to vote splitting. Conservatives may have benefited from splits in the establishment in HD-59.
Money doesn’t buy elections Self-funding candidates have a bad electoral track record. Sreenivas Cherukuri self-funded and lost badly in HD-38. Shri Thanedar did win the D nomination in HD-3 with major self-funding after losing a race for governor in 2018.
Money is essential Money does not guarantee victory, but it is essential to get your message out. This is particularly true in local elections, which are often decided by name recognition. Look at how much winning conservative candidates raised.
Turner 31K
Carra 24K
Borton 50K
Damoose 70K
The candidate who raised the most money won in 6 of 12 contested primaries in open Republican seats (fewer than in past cycles), and the remaining winners still had good fundraising. My rule of thumb is that the minimum amount needed to be a credible candidate is $30,000. Only two winners raised less than 30K this cycle, one in a race where no candidate did. The minimum raised by a winner was 24K.

Pee pads – Knee pads 2020!
(10)Nuh Uh.(0)Until formal investigation and prosecution, the only option for Gov. Whitmer, MDHHS Director Robert Gordon (Obama toady), CME Joneigh Khaldun (crooked as the day is long), and AG Nasty Nessel (self-explanatory), is to continue on their evil course.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed Monday a bill from the GOP-controlled Legislature that would have provided additional liability protections for health care workers and facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
….The Legislature’s bill would have added language to the 1976 Emergency Management Act specific to the COVID-19 pandemic that would have established expanded liability protections from March 10 through Jan. 1, 2021.
What this should indicate to anyone with reasonable intelligence is that Gretchen Whitmer knows she is a one term governor, as does Gretchen’s Party so, her and the Democrat Party are throwing everything they can into the wind of a looming, President Trump landslide re-election victory.
