Cronyism

Just one more won’t hurt.

I just wanted to dove-tail on an earlier post made by Jason regarding SB-653 to institute a museum tax on Southeastern Michigan.

Well, not ALL of Southeastern Michigan.

Even the backers of this heaping, steaming pile of legislative waste sponsored by the entire Michigan Senate democrat caucus realized that well is running dry, so they were going to focus on the easier marks in Oakland & Wayne Counties instead.

No, I’m not kidding.

They didn’t call them easy marks directly, per se (that would’ve been too obvious), but they did spell out their plan when they went before the Michigan Senate Committee last December to push for this little shakedown.

Check it out for yourself, it’s a short video cued up to the best part. OABTW, be sure to check it out at the 5:23 mark regarding the “Time sensitivity with the bill”

 

So, what insulting here?

Oh, the fact that not only did four “republicans”, namely Sen. Ken Horn, Sen. Curt VanderWall, Sen. Kim LaSata, Sen. Mark Huizenga, voted to move this bill out of committee, instead of letting it die a slow death, but they voted to have it take immediate effect!

Now, why would a “republican” from Frankenmuth vote to promote a tax hike in Oakland & Wayne Counties?

Better yet, where is that same zeal shown in the video to let Taxpayers know how that money is being spent?

Or better yet, to allow communities to opt out of this grift?

Stay tuned…

We want to work on people until they can no longer resist us.

There is something distinctly un-Canadian about not being civil.

It’s distressing to state publicly that a republic which has at its core foundation a freedom of not only speech, but of the press as well, having no compunctions seeing those two bedrock principles quickly being twisted into ersatz versions of themselves. Worse yet, no one seeming to care.

But, what else did you expect when people in power are not only challenged, by are visible threatened by those challengers?

0-2. Michigan democrats (along with RINO’s Upton & Meijer) must be so proud of their accomplishments.

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

So, if you haven’t heard the good news (albeit it, very unsurprising), the US Senate voted to not impeach PRIVATE CITIZEN Donald J. Trump over the weekend 57-43. I shouldn’t need to tell anyone how Michigan’s US Senators embarrassed themselves voted.

No Chief Justice from the Supreme Court presiding. Patently obvious evidence tampering by democrats. Sheer naked hypocrisy from democrats when own actions were highlighted.

But why should something like that get in the way of good political kabuki theater?

The talking head shows went into a tizzy yesterday. You had “strategists” from the republican & democrat party trying to rationalize this blatantly unconstitutional act.

I’m not going to bore readers with hours of adults acting like petulant children because they didn’t get their way. But I do want to share one excellent clip of an adult, President Trump’s lawyer Michael Van Der Veen, taking CBSN journalist activist Lana Zak to the woodshed. If you want to see an excellent example of what happens when you stand up to propagandists, that clip can be viewed here.

Sadly, this isn’t the last of it. Not by a long shot.

More RINO’s are beginning to appear on the radar (i.e. McConnell)

The democrats are going to throw everything including the kitchen sink at him because…um, it beats having to show actual leadership.

And that has worked out well for them…when?

Let me wrap this up on the plus side with a nice summary by DJT Jr.

Trump beats impeachment. Dems in disarray. The Lincoln Project burnt to the ground. The RINOS in the GOP establishment exposed & collapsing. Cuomo & Dem Govs in free fall. The media depressed and lashing out at Dems for their impeachment fail. #MAGA ascending again!

Stay Free.

THIS is what democracy looks like?!?

Short follow-up to a previous piece regarding more “unusual deliveries” made within Cobo Hall the night during last year’s election fraud.

The Gateway Pundit released a new video showing a second vehicle making “special deliveries” of its own and escorting the van from the previous video dropping off “legal ballots” which were sitting in open US Mail trays and not secured in any way, shape or form. Don’t even bother asking how human chain of custody was ever documented.

Pardon me? Can you tell me how I can get back to Jefferson? I made a wrong turn and have been driving around in here for hours!

As expected, the local media wasted no time in circling the wagons attacking the first video.

They made the same dismissive arguments claiming that the witnesses to election fraud were either ignorant of how the process works, or trotted out their own experts to refute.

One such “expert” is Christopher Thomas who claims that nothing illegal or inappropriate occurred. Nope, no conflict of interest there whatsoever.

For the record, Christopher Thomas worked directly for Detroit City Clerk Janice “Speed Racer” Winfrey.

The same Janice Winfrey who overseen multiple citywide elections that were rife with voter problems (i.e. poll books out of balance, voter records not up to date, problems any legitimate clerk who cared about their job would have fixed years ago, etc.)

He also failed to mention anything about an unknown car driving around inside of Cobo Hall.

Oh, THAT mysterious black car with out-of-state license plates!

The second video can be seen in its entirety here.

Must have been ordering a pizza?

In an interesting twist to the farce that is the Detroit/Wayne County Clerks Office, new video has been found from the cameras inside of Cobo Hall showing VERY late night deliveries from the loading dock area (H/T to Gateway Pundit).

There is absolutely no conceivable reason for anyone to take any more than five hours to go from one part of Detroit to Cobo Hall.

Video showing a late model White Ford Transit Van with City of Detroit logos on it was seen making at least two deliveries at around 3:30am and 5:00am Wednesday Morning and unloading numerous cardboard boxes (NOT sealed voting boxes nor sealed voting bags) which were then wheeled into Cobo for counting.

I need to stop off before I come back. Union lunch break, you know. You want something?
