A Good Man With A Gun

by  •  • 1 Comment

Thank you to Derrick Perry And Matthew K. Semper Fi.

Yesterday in Traverse City, the unthinkable happened.

A man entered the Walmart on South Airport Rd a little before 5 and began attacking innocent people with a knife. Eleven were injured, six of them in critical condition, five in serious condition. According to a source close to Munson Medical Center, at least one victim may have passed away in the early hours of the morning. (As-yet unofficial)  Our prayers are with all the victims and their families during this horrific time.

But amid the chaos and horror, courage emerged.

$20 Million for a Friend? Go Figure

by  •  • 1 Comment

I felt the need to say something for the 20 people who still visit this blog.

What’s worse: corruption… or corruption that gets swept under the rug because everyone in Lansing was too busy playing footsie with “economic development dollars”?

Let’s rewind. There’s a $20 million grant. It went to Fay Beydoun, a former MEDC board member and—oh yeah—a fundraiser and donor for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Now, was this money competitively awarded?  No.

Was it slipped into the 2022 budget as a legislative earmark with no open bidding process?  Yes.

And who controlled both chambers of the Legislature in 2022?  Republicans. Of course.

You remember those guys, right? Always talking about “fiscal responsibility” until there’s a chance to fund some opaque “accelerator” no one’s ever heard of.

Debt, Beds, and Bureaucrats: The Real Healthcare Sickness

by  •  • 0 Comments

It is still and always will be evidence that government is simply–too big.

OK, fair points ..as produced by fear mongering Democrats.

Scales seems to believe I’ve spent five decades (yeah–he is being tongue-in-cheek)  at the pulpit preaching some Reagan-era economic gospel, and now, cue the red hats and Chinese manufacturing, the altar’s finally cracked. Nice imagery. But my friend.. let’s turn down the incense for a moment and get serious.  (It’s great discussion–that needs to happen however)

The video shared paints another emotionally charged picture—hospitals bought by private equity, loaded with debt, and discarded like yesterday’s newspapers. And it’s supposed to prove that capitalism—deregulated and unchained—is to blame for failing healthcare in urban OR rural areas.
