It would behoove our two term-limited Republican Majority leaders to choose which side of history they will be remembered being on, wisely…

Since when did, “We surrender unconditionally, wholeheartedly and unequivocally”, ever lead to accomplishing anything?

Well, it’s in the hopper.
Yesterday afternoon, Rep. LaFave introduced HR 324 to initiate impeachment proceeding against one Gretchen Esther Whitmer.
Take you pick on which one is the best reason:
- Abusing her power.
- Adversely affecting the education of millions of Michigan Students by depriving them of a proper education. (Work with me on this one, people)
- Ignoring her oath of office and using the Michigan Constitution to wipe her backside with.
- The deaths of thousands of Michigan Seniors with her “orders”.
The bill has been referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
It’s fate is inexplicably in limbo given SML Shirkey and Speaker Chatfield’s rather unusual tactic of waving the white flag, even after they both criticized the untold damage her actions have wrought on Michigan’s economy and general well being given her “orders” this year alone.
When you let a petulant child run wild for as long as you both have, and fail to act as a responsible adult (you know, that office you ran for), what other possible outcome did you expect?
My advice to readers, light up the phone lines, people!
YOUR elected officials can be reached here and here.
It’s now or never!

Nasty Nessel likes envisioning she’s a legend in her own mind, hence, “the share” from one of the community who likes swimming and hanging out with 12-year-old boys. Well, as stated 18 years ago.
Hey, not judging- just … observing.
Sharing this bc the author labeled me "the most politically powerful lesbian in America." Take THAT Tammy Baldwin, Lori Lightfoot, and the lady with the Dorothy Hamill haircut outside Kroger who tried to get me to sign a ballot proposal to form a commission investigating aliens. https://t.co/PDgTB8YQnH

Actually, it is a worthwhile read.

And this is any better…why?

People thought that the Republicans might have had an epiphany last week while Michiganians were circling the Capitol Building in Lansing for a better part last Wednesday. Having 10,000 cars blocking traffic all around you and blaring their horns for most of the day does tend to draw attention, but I digress.
During a Friday News Dump, SML Mike Shirkey announced that not only was the legislature disinclined to extend Gov. Witless’ tyranny past May 1st, but that they had a plan, based upon a framework released by the White House on how this will be accomplished.
Outstanding! Now we can get Michigan back to work so that we can start fixing the colossal disaster her incredibly ridiculous “orders” have wrought upon our state.
But did anyone bother reading the fine print?

Doing something right for a change.

There was a story which a friend of mine passed along to me several years ago regarding early American History, specifically relating to government spending, which I immediately enjoyed and still remember to this day.
It focused on a conversation between one Davy Crockett and a constituent by the name of Horatio Bunce, regarding an appropriations bill in the US House of Representatives. Mr. Bunce took issue with not only the speed the appropriation was made, but why it was even made in the first place. During their conversation, he also drove that point solidly home by reminding the then campaigning Rep. Crockett:
“The people have delegated to Congress, by the Constitution, the power to do certain things. To do these, it is authorized to collect and pay moneys, and for nothing else. Everything beyond this is usurpation, and a violation of the Constitution.”
Let’s just say that Rep. Crockett had an interesting response to that situation to say the least (along with how it guided his future decisions).
So, what does a discussion nearly two centuries ago have to do with Michigan Politics today?

Making a deal with the devil.

Buried in the headlines this week between yet another fake news story regarding the pending impeachment of Pres. Trump, fixing Gov Whitmer’s line item frenzy (contrary to the media buzz, there is serious talk behind the scenes pertaining to fixing Gov. Whitmer’s not-so little temper tantrum screw-up) and the comedy of errors with the GM-UAW Strike, this story from Lansing surprising got very little attention.
Which gets even more interesting once you are made aware of what the topic of discussion was all about.
