Dovetailing on the good news from Trucker Randy yesterday, according to today’s Detroit News, Speaker Bolger has declared that BOTH HB-5959 (Rep. Foster) and HB-5804 (Rep. Singh) to be dead this year.
***Side note to Chad Livengood: Both bills were written to create a protected class in Michigan, NOT prohibit discrimination. I will be more than happy to cite numerous examples in Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon ,Texas and New York (just for starters) to prove you otherwise. I shouldn’t have to remind you that you are a reporter, not an editorial page writer.***

While The Commerce Committee Is Deliberating

Perhaps we take a moment and reflect on a little history of Michigan and how things happen?
Lets talk about Julea Ward.
Who is she? And why should she be the topic of the day? Without reading any further, how many of Right Michigan’s regular readers recall her name? Take your time, but don’t forget to act when you are through here, OK?
In April of 2009, the Blog Prof posted something that was out of the ballpark nuts on the pages of RightMichigan.com. Not “nuts” because HE was wrong, but rather from being the telltale sign of things to come. One of our publicly funded Universities threatened to END Miss Ward’s career, unless she submit to a regimen of homophilia. As the prof’s prop of choice asked then, “What the hell is going on out here!”

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have been so incredibly blessed as a nation. How could we not offer our thanks to the Lord?
We give thanks each year as tradition dictates.
As we are today, our forefathers were both good and evil. They were productive and prosperous, or lazy and in despair. Human nature leads us on many paths, and we often forget where that path started. Sometimes we are purposefully confused so that we do not remember.
With that in mind. Enjoy the following stories of Thanksgiving, each from a different perspective.
Mises – The Great Thanksgiving Hoax
“In his History of Plymouth Plantation, the governor of the colony, William Bradford, reported that the colonists went hungry for years because they refused to work in the field. They preferred instead to steal food. He says the colony was riddled with “corruption,” and with “confusion and discontent.” The crops were small because “much was stolen both by night and day, before it became scarce eatable.” “
And in a similar vein

The Most Amazing Wedgie
by Jason • • 1 Comment
Hide your lunch money. The DC Schoolyard bully Strikes again.
435 US House of Representative members including 234 Republicans were simultaneously given a fanny flossing by the POTUS last night.
The president, in one of the boldest moves yet, did an in-your-face to our sitting elected representatives, the likes of which have never been seen in our nation before. Picture a petulant child walking up to mom with a Mr. Microphone, calmly telling her to go shtump herself then drop the mic on the floor in a classic you-have-been-served moment. Though our Congress is not exactly saying “oh what a precious child,” they are enabling the president’s current action, and making future actions likely worse by not putting him over the knee and giving him the red bottom spanking he so desperately needs.
But it should somehow not surprise us that nothing will be done. Especially when our own state elected politicians hardly understand the scope of what this president has done to the constitution. The president has been recycling the parchment as toilet paper multiple times, yet even our AG’s response is weak as he responds:
“America must have a hopeful immigration policy, a policy of inclusion not exclusion. America’s door of opportunity must be open to new citizens. The door to America’s unique experiment of freedom and enterprise must be open and welcoming to new Americans.
However, President Obama seems to be more interested in gamesmanship and litigation than working on bipartisan solutions to immigration reform. By ignoring Congress and stretching Executive Orders beyond Constitutional limits, President Obama is clearly playing politics instead of providing lawful solutions to immigration challenges. The result is gridlock and lawsuits, just what the American people voted against in 2014″
This ain’t “politics” bubba.
This is an outright gauntlet thrown down. This is the gloves pulled off, slapped face, pee-in-your-cheerios, challenge to a duel.

Congress' dereliction of duty is merely gasoline thrown on our nation's already burning compact.
Michigan’s congressional delegation must act before it’s too late.
Before anyone simply assumes that Obama is a clumsy leader and simply mistaken on taking this country to its low point in history, perhaps they consider that it is no accident. At Townhall.com, Walter Williams makes this point about seeing a driver going the wrong direction:
“Would you call him a stupid and/or incompetent driver? You say, “Williams, what kind of question is that? Of course he’s one or the other!” I’d say, “Hold your horses. What are his intentions?” If the driver’s intentions are to cause highway calamity, one can hardly call his actions stupid or incompetent. Given his intentions, he is wisely acting in a manner to achieve his objectives.”
Indeed, one must have a full understanding of what the objectives are.
For more than five years now, our congress has not only allowed the president to act contrary to law, but they have funded his efforts. In his article, Williams further points out the responsibility of congress to act under article 1 of our constitution. Unless they act to suppress the objectives of this president, (or his incredible off the chart incompetence) through the power of the purse, we will have to fully admit the constitution is lost, and our Republic has been replaced by simple tyranny.
For that, who needs a congressman?

So, why aren’t we being more direct? And is this a good place to start? (see item linked at end of post)

“Because we’ve seen Gadsdens flooding Lansing, over the State Income Tax hike? Medicaid expansion? The non-bailout Detroit Bailout A/K/A DIA Bailout? Doubling Tipping Fees (garbage collection tax for the mouthbreathers)?
With an alleged Republican executive branch? – Corinthian Scales November 14, 2014″
I’ll be 100% honest here, this comment from Corinthian Scales (along with Kevin Rex Hines’ follow-up…linked here) on the Snyder(Calley)/Richardville Gas Tax Hike, really bothered me over the weekend.
Despite 1,200 miles of driving and numerous other issues I’m currently juggling this weekend that aren’t exactly going according to “Plan ‘A’ “, both gentlemen’s very direct comments regarding this issue gave me reason to pause over the weekend.
Ultimately, I feel that this is a guestion that should to be addressed if the Conservative Movement here in Michigan (and elsewhere) is to have any long-lasting relevancy.

Betcha didn’t see this coming:
“Today, Detroit’s five state senators stood united in supporting a major road funding package. This bill will allow us to speed up repair of Detroit’s roads and make major improvements to the bus service for our 100,000 passengers daily. With their support HB 5477 passed the Senate by a 23-14 vote. Be sure to thank Senators Virgil Smith, Coleman Young, Jr., Burt Johnson, Morris Hood III, and Tupac Hunter for their leadership and encourage your representatives in the State House to support this important legislation.”
Did anyone catch anything earlier about paying more at the pump to support mass transit?
Me neither.
Oh, and it gets better.
