For politicians, one would think it would have been an open-and-shut case, and in earlier, saner ages in our national life, it would have been. If a group of people in America get together and scream “Death to America,” officials ought to be lining up to condemn them, and there should be investigations and, if non-citizens are involved, deportations. We live, however, in Old Joe Biden’s America, in which the America-hating left is the dominant cultural force, and so some high-profile politicians have been notably wary about condemning calls for the destruction of the nation they have vowed to protect...

“Two-hundred and eighty-nine absentee ballots were found in a storage unit in downtown Clio,” Stanke told Mid-Michigan Now. Stanke learned of the possible existence of the missing ballots in 2021 and alerted the state’s attorney general and secretary of state. She eventually reported the issue to the Michigan State Police once tips came in about the ballots and some “old township documents” that had been uncovered. A former township worker rented the unit and kept the boxes inside, the FOIA records reportedly stated. “She was not aware when she put it in there,” Stanke explained. “She was asked to store...

A vast network of liberal dark money is using ballot initiatives to buy substantial electoral reforms that would otherwise be impossible.Over the past five years, Michigan has been completely transformed by a series of ruinous electoral reforms. This development, however, has nothing to do with some Trump-induced hangover or the popularity of its Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer. These reforms are part of a nationwide conspiracy concocted by a vast network of leftist dark money using “nonpartisan” proxy organizations and the ballot initiative loophole to circumvent the ordinary political process.In Michigan, the principal puppet behind these reforms has been a little-known...

A new ultra-woke style guide from Michigan State University (MSU) requires the school to avoid certain words to lessen “microaggressions.” The guide claims some of the newly banned words, like “frontier” and “pioneer,” are problematic because they remind people of America’s “colonial” past, said Fox News. In often opaque Marxist code, the MSU style guide explains the reasoning behind some of its more obtuse style requirements. “‘Minoritized’ or ‘marginalized’ can remove agency and reaffirm deficit language, avoid using unless in a quotation,” said the guide, in one example. “Avoid referring to someone from an underrepresented group as ‘articulate,’ as this...

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer admitted over the weekend that Democrat leadership in the state imposed more COVID-19 lockdown measures than were actually needed. In April 2020, Whitmer issued an executive order that barred most stores from selling gardening supplies, including seeds and plants, to Americans growing their own fruits and vegetables. In a sit-down with CNN’s Chris Wallace on March 12, Whitmer was asked about Michigan’s tough lockdown policies, which were some of the nation’s most strict. “There were moments where, you know, we had to make some decisions that in retrospect don’t make a lot of sense, right? If...

Kristol over the weekend addressed a crowd of disillusioned Republicans about the need to get rid of “Trump Republicans” from the party. “It turns out that once you let the toothpaste out of the tube, so to speak, demagoguery and bigotry and all that, some people like it.

Citing a technical difficulty, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer on Monday bailed on a live television interview immediately after the host asked a question about the Democrat's pandemic record. "Do you have any regrets," the Fox 2 Detroit anchor asked Whitmer, who in response stared blankly into the camera. The governor then asked someone off-camera if she botched the audio by moving her AirPod, to which the person replied, "It's okay." Whitmer, who frequently disobeyed her own COVID-19 rules, lied about the number of deaths in Michigan nursing homes after she required facilities to take patients who tested positive for coronavirus....

Gretchen Whitmer, the Democrat governor of Michigan, has attempted to whitewash her policy that put Covid-19 patients in nursing homes. Whitmer was one of several Democrat governors who implemented this plan, as did Pennsylvania’s Tom Wolf and New York’s disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo. The plan led to higher death rates in states that followed this policy, while Whitmer’s Administration has specifically been accused of covering up deaths. When asked if she regretted her decision regarding nursing home policy, she blamed her Republican opponent Tudor Dixon for spreading lies. “My opponent continues to tell people that nursing homes were forced...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Less than two weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, with Democrats on verge of losing their razor-thin majority in Congress, the party is asking former President Barack Obama to perform some late-game heroics - or at least help limit their losses. With Biden’s approval among voters hovering at 39% according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, it is the former president, who is assuming the role as the party’s closer in the final days. “He's probably a better ambassador for swing-state Democrats than Biden is, since he's more popular - especially in the competitive states - and less...

Republican Congressman Ralph Norman declared Wednesday that everyone knows Joe Biden isn’t in charge of anything, and that in reality there is a secretive cabal of elitists that are running America. Appearing on Real America’s Voice, Norman was asked about the possibility of impeaching Biden over wide open borders. “[We’ll] subpoena as many people as we can,” the South Carolina Rep. said, adding “We’re gonna hopefully have consequences starting with [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas, [Christopher] Wray with the FBI. I mean, a whole host of things.” Norman further urged, “look who is behind [Biden], Kamala Harris… she may speak...

ATLANTA (Reuters) -Democrats will call in their biggest star, Barack Obama, on Friday in the hopes that the former president can excite voters in Georgia and help the party hold onto a critical U.S. Senate seat. Obama, a two-term Democrat who left office in 2017, will stump in Atlanta for Senator Raphael Warnock, who faces Donald Trump-backed Republican challenger Herschel Walker, and Stacey Abrams, who is running against Republican Governor Brian Kemp. “Georgia played a determinative role last cycle and could likely be in the same position in a few weeks," said Eric Schultz, a spokesman for Obama.

Desperate Democrats deployed former President Barack Obama to Georgia on Friday to try to energize the base to get out and vote for Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock. He focused on attacking Republican candidate for Senate Herschel Walker. Democrats are looking at a strong red wave coming ashore on November 8 and their grip on power in Congress will be over. Nancy Pelosi will be out as speaker of the house and Mitch McConnell will likely be Senate Majority Leader, shoving aside Chuck Schumer from that powerful position. Early voting is underway in Georgia and as of Friday night, a...
