The only appropriate response to this request is “Hell, no.” – Generalissimo Gretchen Whitmer, the aspiring banana republic dictator who currently serves as Michigan’s brutish Governor, made a startling request of President Trump earlier today. In a letter e-mailed to the President, Herr Gretchen has the utter gall to request an extension under U.S. Title 32 to extend her use of the state’s National Guard at federal expense through … wait for it… JULY 31.
I kid you not:
The power-mad Whitmer already has this authority in place through June 24, 12 days after her current lockdown order is set to expire. So, what does this tell you about her plans for further extending that order, despite the fact that there exists today not one shred of data or science to underpin it?
The truth is that there was never any real justification for Whitmer to have this Title 32 authority in the first place, and there is damn sure no reason whatsoever why she really needs it for another two months and three days.
It is long past time for President Trump to start asserting his authority to roll back the excesses of fascist Democrat Governors like Whitmer. A firm, swift and unambiguous denial of this brazen request would be a great way to start.
So long, Ric – please come back soon. – The Great One, Mark Levin, conducted a wide-ranging 19-minute interview with outgoing Acting DNI/Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell on Wednesday. During the course of that interview, Grenell had some very revealing things to say about the way he was un-welcomed by the DC Swamp into the DNI job, and how the corrupt news media treated him throughout that assignment.
Here are some outtakes from the interview:
On how he was distrusted by members of congressional oversight committees and other deep state politicians, as well as the news media: “An outsider coming in with fresh eyes is like the enemy because you’re going to look at things differently.”
“Look what they did when I came in and was appointed. They immediately said this is an outsider who has no experience. And I heard that over and over, Mark, from most every news outlet. No experience, no experience. That’s not true. I have different experiences. I’ve been a consumer of intelligence since 2001, longer than a lot of the people who are in charge of overseeing intelligence from Congress. But that didn’t matter to them because I didn’t grow up in the system.”
On whether knowledge about Obamagate went all the way into the White House: “There is no possible way that it wasn’t known inside the White House and that multiple layers of people knew about this.”
On congressional manipulation of the Intelligence Community: “It was the political people and the politicians who were ignoring the problems and the career people were clamoring for reform. An overwhelming majority [of career officials] hate the leaks, they hate the manipulation coming from Congress, they hate how oversight is done through a letter, and then you don’t talk to anybody about it, and the briefings are ‘gotcha’ briefings. That’s not good.”
It’s a really good interview and well worth a listen.
From the day he was appointed to become the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Mr. Grenell has been one of the most loyal and impactful members of the entire Trump Administration. As of yesterday, he is now officially out of government service, which is a terrible loss for the country in this time of great stress and peril.
President Trump should do everything in his power to convince him to serve in another high position because, as Abraham Lincoln famously said about Ulysses S. Grant:
“I need this man. He fights.”
That is all.
Why do I think she wants the National Guard parked outside of her home?
Grenell would be great at FBI. Or Flynn.
the only use for the National Guard in Michigan is for removing her from office and confining her to jail until her trail for abuse of power.
Without Title 32 authority, the state pays for 25 percent, the Feds pay 75. With it, the Feds pay all. She doesn’t need Title 32 to keep the guard under state activation, but it will cost her more.
Actually the Lincoln quote was, “I can’t spare this man. He fights”. But close enough.
Frog march her off to Traitor Prison.
I am more convinced than ever that the only satisfactory resolution is a real split. Democrats outnumber conservatives anywhere there are a number of large cities. Dems are retarded. They vote for this garbage, complain, and vote for more of it. To be fair, some don’t complain, they just love it. And the conservatives get squashed.
A real divide with a Conservative USA and a Liberal USA is the only possibility for conservatives to maintain any sort of control over their lives.
I’d happily move to another state designated as part of CUSA.
Trump needs to decalre the national emergency OVER.
And let the states declare emergencies themselves.
Push ALL of the opening/ reopening issues and blow back on to their respective governors and state Govs.
Which home?
probably used the NG to get her boat in the water and keep those nasty cameras away from her vacation home
In the immortal words of Professor Melissa Click, “Let’s get some muscle in here.” Governor Whitler is, of course, perfectly free to declare her own statewide emergency and deploy the Guard. The only difference is that she’ll be paying for it.
What is Ric going to do now?
Please allow me to sum up...
our ex rino governor at least left a surplus in the state coffers...
not only has this bitch used it up, she took out a LOAN for several billion dollars to fix the roads, because she did not get her .49 cent per gallon tax increase..
this state is not broke... IT IS IN DEBT!!!!
after only 2 years of this incompetent karen...
she wants the feds to send money no matter what it is earmarked for, so she can continue to pay for her own incompetence...
President Trump, if by some chance you read this, please, do not send this communist one thin dime...
as soon as whitler lifts the lockdown, she will be recalled, that is why the constant extensions are in place..
Moved from Michigan 5 years ago to Florida. Was worried that Gillum, who later proved to be a meth head, would win & turn this into a socialist wonderland.
I am now breathing the air of a free state. At least temporarily if lunatic liberals win in 2020. I keep thinking about Reagan saying if we lose our free America, there is no place else to go.
Praying for our great nation. Join in.
A little off subject, but worth looking at.
Whitmer (yesterday, I think) said she was launching a study into why the dam failed, causing the catastrophe in central Michigan.
Then this article surfaced:
Sounds about right.
BFL
Look at all the idiots we have as politicians, gov. employees, and; all the AFGE trash in the VA.
On the face of it, sounds good. Practically speaking, however, what would we do? Wall the big cities in? Why do conservatives evacuate the places they are needed most?
“On the face of it, sounds good. Practically speaking, however, what would we do? “
It’s a pipe dream. The reality is blood will be spilled.
