But it is clear that Donald Trump has not earned my respect or my vote.” – Republican state Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons (October 8, 2016)
This is the same Republican state Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons, Guv wannabe Bill Schuete just tapped on to be his LG.
I told you so just doesn’t cover it.
(13)Nuh Uh.
(5)I’m going to keep this one a little short today.
Part of it because I’ve had a very long weekend. Part of it because I’m still going over the actual returns.

(10)Nuh Uh.(0)Multiple news outlets have reported that the Michigan Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision upheld the democratic party “independent/grassroots” Voters Not Politicians petition initiative to create a non-partisan commission to redraw every voting district in Michigan.
In writing for the majority Justices Viviano, McCormack, Bernstein & Clement said;
“Here, that approach leads us to conclude that a voter-initiated amendment under Const 1963, art 12, § 2 is permissible if it does not significantly alter or abolish the form or structure of our government, making it tantamount to creating a new constitution.”
Yeah that’s sounds great on paper, but exactly how did they intend on accomplishing this nigh impossible feat?
{Well, I’ll go into that more after the fold}
(16)Nuh Uh.(3)Well Southeastern Michigan Taxpayers can breath a little bit easier (for 2018 at least). One potential drain on our wallets has been thwarted, but there is another one in the offing.
{More below the fold}
(4)Nuh Uh.(0)I have two items to pass along to readers relating to the proposed revisions to the Social Studies Standards here in Michigan.
{Story continues below the fold}
(7)Nuh Uh.(0)Did you know that Harvey Milk and Huey Newton were very important figures in early American History?
Even moreso than the likes of say Dr. Joseph Warren or Patrick Henry?
Did you know that the federal government is not actually a creation of the states and is therefore superior to them?
Did you know that the Southern Poverty Law Center is an unbiased and trustworthy source of information ?
Did you know that the MDE actually proposed expanding a study of Islam in public schools (despite the fact Christianity has been essentially removed from the classroom beginning in the 1960‘s)?
And my personal fav: Did you know that America was founded as a democracy?
Yeah, that one surprised me, too.
If the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has their way, THESE are changes that you might see in the K-12 curriculum in a classroom near you.
Unless you do something about it.

(8)Nuh Uh.(0)So in the latest distraction in our 24-hour News Cycle World, the latest “outrage” is coming from a surprising source?
And just whom that might be, you may ask yourself?

(7)Nuh Uh.(0)Some memories from today.
It was warm and humid.
As usual, it hardly stopped hundreds who gathered in Traverse City at the veterans memorial for the annual Memorial Day observance. Veterans, patriots, and Gold Star mothers were present, all to honor the fallen in wars both recent and past.
I have never served. My family and so many others have have been blessed in ways to have a military that has guaranteed certain freedoms. So many have sacrificed it all for our country, but it has already been said more eloquently here.
Below is a collection of photographs from today’s gathering.
(8)Nuh Uh.(0)...or worse yet, when Taxpayers aren’t even made aware of it by a complicit local media.
Even though this is affecting strictly Macomb County, I would HIGHLY recommend that readers contact their local clerk’s office to see if there is anything similar occurring in their part of Michigan.
Despite the fact that their current millage hasn’t even expired yet, the local community college not only decided to place a millage hike/renewal on the ballot, but they have done a slam-bang up job of letting everyone know about it.
I cannot imagine why?

(6)Nuh Uh.(0)Not arguing the final outcome (nice shot, BTW), but I would’ve thought that the 30mm gun could’ve been equally effective.
Submitted w/o any further comment.
