(0)The 'progressive' left will leave no institutions standing when it is through.
Has the left destroyed all of our traditions yet?
Perhaps not, though progressives cannot abide by any roadblocks to the ultimate agenda of ‘change’ toward their vision of a Utopian prison for all. David French in The Left Is Weaponizing Sports, reminds us that it ain’t over till every institution has been destroyed, and the bonds that hold us together have been severed:
While the NCAA — as perhaps the peak representative of progressive hypocrisy and cheap virtue signaling — is an easy target, its action raises a much more significant concern. Simply put, there are not many cultural spaces remaining where Americans can meet on more or less neutral ground — where Americans of all faiths and political beliefs can meet, unite, and share a positive communal experience.
Our political polarization is but one symptom of our increasing Balkanization. When I speak, I sometimes challenge audiences to name one significant cultural force or trend that is binding Americans together, rather than pulling them apart.
The NCAA is being used as a weapon.
Which begs a great big question: “Aren’t we supposed to store weapons in a safe place?”

A Northern Michigan State Representative Died in a Motorcycle accident last night.
Peter Pettalia (R-106) Was 61.
Our prayers go out to his family and those close to him.
(10)Nuh Uh.(0)A soft spoken Trump delivers his message in Democrat afflicted Detroit.
This is good.
I have never been a fan of pandering to demographic subsets, but this visit wasn’t pandering IMO. It was done well, and in the way that many conservative blacks in Detroit have been requesting for years. By approaching through the faith community in SW Michigan and straight talking to the people there, Donald Trump has once again defied CW and walked away a winner.
With Detroit born Ben Carson by his side, Trump went where so many GOP seemingly fear to tread. He showed that the RIGHT message can be delivered.
Well done.
(17)Nuh Uh.(2)Michigan Republican Party nominees to statewide races were selected today.
The Michigan Republican Party Convention in Grand Rapids selected nominees for the State Board of Education, and University spots on Saturday.
The State wide races were the primary reason for the convention, but Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and others also spoke during Friday Night caucuses as well as on Saturday about the entire ticket “from top to bottom” as being critical for all republican seat wins. The current RINO squish Rick Snyder has yet to endorse the nominee, but has at least stopped short of endorsing the criminal Hillary Clinton as did his ideological mentor Bill Milliken.
The slate of GOP nominees selected in the full convention include:
(7)Nuh Uh.(1)To fight evil we must first call it out by name.
In 2007, Congressman Pete Hoekstra told me that the Bush administration was going to call terrorist attacks “Man-Made disasters” going forward.
It was a report of incredulity. It was the first time I became aware that our federal government was not at all interested in fighting a ‘holy war,’ and was actually more concerned that any reference to Islam in a negative way would incite more violence and hostility from Muslims as such.
It was at that point, I knew we had lost a major battle in the fight against radical Islam.
Words matter, as other popular pundits note. The failure to recognize one’s enemy can only guarantee that enemy remains invisible until it is too late. This administration has made no attempt to reverse that policy, and has in-fact embraced it to the point that Islam Jihad has occurred on our soil several times since 2008.
No change would be expected under a 2nd Clinton administration either. Of this we can be certain. Hillary’s European style pandering would likely give us more Charlie Hebdo, or Paris theater style attacks. As it is, she is calling out for more refugee settlement of radicalized Muslims in the US and IN MICHIGAN, a position that the Obama administration has been obliging.
This speech by Donald Trump should remind folks that he is not afraid to call out an evil by its name.

(6)Nuh Uh.(1)Expect cigarette sting operations to be in full swing in the peoples republic of Ann Arbor this winter
One thing that the Democrats are good at, is ‘Nanny Statism’
If in any particular form it poses a health risk, you better damned well believe it can fall under a federal mandate, state law or local ordinance. Democrats, progressives, and big-government little-minds know what is best for you. Even if they can hardly manage their own lives, its for your own good.
So it comes as no surprise that Ann Arbor, bastion of elitist progressive nincompoopery has decided that unless you have obtained the age of 21, you cannot buy smokes in their little Utopian safe-space paradise. From Cap-Con:
“The Ann Arbor City Council last week voted for an ordinance that will ban the sale of tobacco products to people under 21, making it the first city in Michigan to raise the legal purchasing age from 18.”
So, has Ann Arbor made the statement that its population does not mature quickly enough to make such decisions?
Next up, no recruiting by the military of anyone under 25?
(9)Nuh Uh.(1)Just order the damned happy meal and be quiet.
Customer: A Whopper with cheese please
BK Guy: I think you would like the Big Mac better.
Customer: Big Mac? Isn’t that McD’s?
BK Guy: Yes. They are quite good too.
Customer: Is this BK selling Big Macs now for the McD’s next door?
BK Guy: Oh.. Not really, but I am. I just think that is a better choice.
Customer: But you work here at BK?
BK Guy: For about 60 years. Yessiree.
(21)Nuh Uh.(1)As far as the Grand Traverse County GOP is concerned, Bill Milliken isn't recognized as a Republican
Every couple of years, Former Michigan governor William Grawn Milliken trots out his endorsements for Democrat candidates.
While endorsements are a part of the political process, it is always noted that this has been by a ‘Republican’ who “is crossing party lines” to support Democrats. Often enough it has been against incumbent Republicans, and is used in the press to promote disunity within the party.
Over the years, this has happened several times, and is consistent enough that it seemed prudent that the Republican party in his county of residence have a say in whether he is even considered to be a Republican at all.
Much in the way our nation has been beset by ‘gender confusion’, it seemed the former state executive has had a political identity crisis for some time. Supporting publicly funded abortion through the veto pen, and supporting Democrats against Republicans in critical contests not once or twice, but habitually for too many years to ignore.
