This is some racist bullshit (yep I cursed again…get over it!) right here. Who is sponsoring it? @onemichigan can help organize some of us to call it out. Our kids and families can’t be exposed to these types of disgusting events. https://t.co/z2ab8GyLar

So, let us understand, this fun advertisement for a pub crawl is offensive and, this article Rashida wrote for Farrakhan is not.
Got it?

(0)Despite the calls for “bipartisianship”(remember when THAT was the buzzword), “tolerance”, blah-blah-blah, etc, AG Nessel officially went off the reservation yesterday and signed Michigan onto a multistate lawsuit AGAINST Pres. Trump and his actions to protect everyday Americans from the illegal aliens massing along the southern border.
This is what happens when the republican kakistocracy runs a boat anchor at the top of the ticket and p.o.’s The Grassroots when it doesn’t cut ties with a certain Supreme Court Justice. Tom Leonard would NEVER have signed off on this!
Curiously, as of this morning, she didn’t feel that it was important to share her passion to protect a major threat to Michigananians with the rest of us through official channels.
I’m running late for a run, but more to follow later…
(8)Nuh Uh.(0)Michigan Treasury form 5076 must be filed by February 20
If you own a business and are subject to Michigan’s PPT AND have less than 80K in fixtures etc., get this done ASAP.
You have two days from this posting to file this with your local taxing authority. The upside is that this year may be the last year you have to file this annually.

(3)Nuh Uh.(0)Is Michigan's Catastrophic Claims Mandate the problem?
Start with a sense of agreement that our GOP controlled legislature has with the new leader of the smurfs.
Insurance costs too much. And since Lansing is already aglow in the possibility of adding more taxes on top of the 40% increase in plate fees and added gas taxes, we need a break right?
Who better to underwrite such ‘breaks’ than insurance carriers, right? Government always finds ways to shunt higher costs on to taxpayers OR those in an industry that they have manipulated for so many years. So what is the message when we see this?
After Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s State of the State address on Tuesday, state Rep. Michele Hoitenga, R-Manton, said that insurance reform will be one of the GOP’s top priorities this session. Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, established a separate committee to devise a way past obstacles to bringing down rates.
In a tweet, Chatfield said citizens need a bipartisan solution.
“It’s time we cut through politics and deliver real reform to our rigged car insurance system,” Chatfield’s tweet says. “Families and seniors are paying too much, and they deserve relief. I’ve created a special committee to reform car insurance and have asked [Rep. Jason] Wentworth to chair it. Let’s get it done!”
We deserve relief.
Whew! Glad we got that settled. So let me make it real easy.
First start off with that part of the process that enjoys a failing google grade. It adds $hundreds a year to each vehicle we own, and holds onto $20,000,000,000.00 of Michigan ratepayers money. Yeah, that’s $20 Billion.
Its a tax. Don’t forget that.
And actually.. just start and end with that and then watch for a while.
(8)Nuh Uh.(0)For someone who has held elected titles in Lansing, from 2001 thru 2015, this was not an accident unless she has Richard Bernstein selecting attire for her. Curves? Is that what corpulent menopausal females refer to it as now? It’s as if they believe that others do not have eyes.
And, on cue, not allowing an opportunity to go to waste, a white male Republican steps forward to Virtue Snivel. Lee, shall we discuss what a loser is and inappropriate? Soros NPV junkets? Millennials… the guiding compass in the House, which means this state is- totally screwed.
That stated, I fully cede the notion that there is a way to vote our way out of this creeping socialism, nanny-government mess that is Michigan. There are just too many bent-knee pandering fools and reprehensible, Retreads within to counter the opposition.

Strangely,the Goddess of Liberty Statue in front of the Art Museum was blown to smithereens by lightning on the same day.
(5)Nuh Uh.(0)Who is really in charge here?
Can the Federal Government own land?
Apparently so, if one reads the constitution. “The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state..” Stated in Article IV reads fairly clear.
But where are the limits? If one were to go with that part as it has been interpreted, the congress then has power to declare all land to be under it’s jurisdiction, and subject no longer to the respective states, right? Obviously not if practice is our guide. At some point there is a limit where the states retain control over their respective borders. A further restraint on the ability of the federal government and Congress to simply take over land.
Yes, it is ALSO in the constitution. And YES, it has been ignored. Article 1 Section 8 clearly sets forth a manner under which the federal government may acquire and control property.
“To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings; ..”
Emboldened parts being relevant.

(8)Nuh Uh.(0)Whitmer attempt to lay new tax on Michiganians slowed by opposition. For now.
Something we could have used after 2012 was a little disagreement by the legislature and the governor.
After 2012, the state lost control of the insurer of last resort, Obamacare was adopted, and gas taxes skyrocketed. Snyder failed on the Flint fiasco, both on public perception of the problem and with the team sent to fix the problem when he knew it was happening.
Democrats, and Gretchen Whitmer in particular, are not going to let that particular crisis go to waste, and attempted a rewrite of the DEQ under the auspices of clean water. The GOP controlled house says “:wait just a minute there GRRRL power:“
Rep. Jim Lower, the resolution’s sponsor, said he considered the executive order an overreach that “constituted a direct attack” on legislative powers. He also defended the panels’ merits and said they provided a needed layer over oversight.
“We shouldn’t be silencing the voices of people with on the ground, commonsense experience,” said Lower, R-Cedar Lake.
Jim Lower is correct, but there is more.
What Whitmer was attempting stinks of former state house member Dan Scripps’ scurrilous attempt at controlling underground water resources. The cost of such efforts is too high, and a price Michiganians ought not bear.
While clean drinking water should be expected by those who live in cities like Flint, we should remember that it was a failure of government, and the underlying accountability of the executive branch to manage such a disaster. Granholm Whitmer has the ability to deal with such things as they arise without additional tools that threaten personal use and add cost.
Fact: Regulation is a tax and this is a big one if allowed to go forward.
(11)Nuh Uh.(0)Give that speech writer a medal.
Truth be told, I had been anticipating the President’s State of The Union a bit.
Pelosi opened the people’s house to the speech, and I was not sure if she understood that Trump has no limit switch. He was not likely to roll over and behave in a way that made her or the (currently) Democrat controlled house look very good.
Donald J Trump did not disappoint. He was persuasive, challenged the non-stop efforts to make his job difficult, and showed the country that all that the white suited (cult like) XX congress critters wanted was Grrrl Power. His words drew them out, revealing that the heroes on the president’s guest list weren’t worthy of their praise or approval, including holocaust, cancer, and extreme violence survivors.
He exposed them.
He brought out socialism, and forced those in attendance to face the demon in the room. Bernie Sanders may have had to change his shorts soon after the speech, as the redness of his face on Trump’s declaration that “America Will Never Be A Socialist Country” indicated he (Sanders) was likely baking a cookie.
The President then closed out with one of the best examples of a sincere conviction that our best is yet to come, but only if we come together. The epilogue finding itself as probably the best DJT speech on achievement and aspiration I have witnessed.
Truly worth a second look.
