Dark Money In Michigan?

by  •  • 0 Comments

Say it ain't so

If you subscribe to the news:

Allies of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer used millions of dollars from secret donors and a web of nonprofit organizations to promote her policy agenda and celebrate Democrats who joined in championing it, according to a tax filing obtained by The Detroit News.

Michigan  Democrats who rail on about dark money in Politics..

The article hit on one specific group: The Road To Michigan’s Future which has a few recognizable figures.  Former Lt Governor Cherry as one.

Which begs the question “How long will it be before old politicians just go away??

Turning it up another notch.

I’m honestly NOT surprised here.

After the Uniparty establishment had gone out of its way to remove President Trump from the equation before November 5th by utilizing literally everything at their disposal from weaponizing our own government (such as “intelligence community” & lawfare) to promulgating negative propaganda from the legacy media at a level that would make Joseph Goebbels blush with envy…now they want him dead!

At around a quarter after 6:00pm this afternoon at a campaign rally near Butler, PA an assassin tried to shoot President Trump while he was speaking.

Fortunately, he only managed to wound President Trump.

Unfortunately, at least one of the members attending the rally is now dead.

And if what word being put out is to believed at this time (a little before 8:00pm), the shooter is dead as well.

There has been a steady barrage of well wishes from “both sides” of the aisle. Nothing from the White House. I guess that they’re still having a problem waking their figurehead up from his 1:30 nap.

I’ll follow up with more information and have more to say about this later.

Save The Electors Telethon Sept 5, 2023

by  •  • 1 Comment

The “Save the Electors” Telethon will be taking place on Tuesday, Sept. 5 from 10am to 9pm. The telethon will be livestreamed by The Gateway Pundit!

This is a historic event that will change public perceptions and give the electors the resources they need to fight back against the malicious, politically-motivated prosecutions of leftist AG Dana Nessel (learn more here).

Telethon guests include former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Mike Lindell of Frank Speech, Shawn Farash (famous for his spot on Trump impersonation), DC Draino, former Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake, Justice Gableman, Catherine Engelbrecht & Gregg Phillips (of “2000 Mules” fame) Jim Hoft, Brandan Straka, Sam Sorbo, nationally known comedian Joe Dan Gorman, MI Representatives Schriver, Smit, Carra and DeSana and MI State Senators Lindsey and Runestad. More guests are joining daily.

“We plan to tell the stories of how Electors have been personally affected by this madness,” said Matt Seely of the Michigan Conservative Coalition, who is hosting the telethon.

“Our amazing line up for the Telethon will encourage citizens to make a donation to the Legal Defense Fund for the Electors online here. On the day of the Telethon live operators will also be standing by to take donations,” he added.

Share the promotional graphic and spread the word. It is time to unite behind this righteous cause. The electors stood up when it counted, now we must have their backs!

Questions For The Day – Elected Self Evaluation

by  •  • 1 Comment

Self Reflection for the politician

Are you an elected official?

If so,

  • Do you believe that we must all eventually face our maker, and answer for our actions?
  • As an elected person, are you a person who sees an opportunity to advance your influence over your community, or to make that influence less impactful and imposing?
  • Have you considered that every new rule you make or support, generally creates a new burden on someone? Or that at the very least, you ‘shift’ the burden from one party to another?
  • When you vote to enact new restrictions, do you find yourself justifying the decisions based on your own contemplation, or by reasoning offered from others?
  • Do you see new taxes as a source of that allows government to improve its services, or as a way to control behavior?
  • Has your election changed how you feel about new rules, taxes, or government’s role in people life?
  • Has your election changed how you see the size of government? Is it too-big, just-right, or not-enough?
  • In the performance of your duties, are you inclined to create new restrictions or find new ways to liberate your voters?
  • In reviewing your record to date, would you you be truly proud of the decisions you’ve made – IF viewing them through the your pre-elected lens and focus?

And just who do we have to thank for this?

I STILL fear for the Republic.

That been said, I am disappointed, but I am certainly not in the least bit surprised with what transpired last November.

After last year’s raging dumpster fire of an election, there really wasn’t much to say about its outcome.

With what had transpired over the previous two years, the 2022 election should have been simply a formality, and we could’ve been focused on getting Michigan back on track, had the drive been there to accomplish that task.

Regrettably, certain people in our state were more concerned with “their candidate” winning than promoting (or even defending for that matter a political philosophy).

Their ego…conceit…hubris…call it what you’d like, blinded them to the actual threat.

Now, people are beginning to take notice of the consequences from their actions, or more accurately, LACK thereof.

And only now is it beginning to frighten them.

{Continued after the fold.}
