Happy Birthday in Heaven, Stormin' Norman! I miss your spunk, your fight, our meetings with Rep. Tim Sneller, and all the good trouble you brought to local politics.

@tedcruz "Getting poor advice?" Doesn't the buck stop with him?

[Matthew Smith Jr. @MatthewSmithjr]

So let me get this “straight.” Demonique, and his Dingy ass teeth convinced you to commit perjury on someone that cares about you, tells you to block people, controls every aspect of your life, and continues to force you into hurting others for a laugh and then your answer is to flaunt a picture of him in a video with the most sensitive of topics? Got it. Do you have any integrity at all?

Michael Bouchard Jr. is a friend and a fellow Catholic. The attacks from his low-life, attention seeking opponents in the 10th congressional district on himself, his father and his sister are despicable. His father has represented Oakland County with integrity as Sheriff for years and his sister is very effective in her role at CNN. Without leaning on the President, his opponents have nothing to run on or talk about. It’s sad to see crooked politicians hide behind others to attack good people. Mike’s opponent, Robert Lulujaruajuaj is just pissed because he doesn’t have the name recognition or combat experience to propel him to Washington. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Stick to the course, Mike! Don’t let the clowns gang up on you when you know the truth. I don’t care how fucking loud they get or how many people they trick into buying their false ass narrative. Soon, you will be in Washington D.C as a United States Congressman. Btw, I fully expect you to display a photo of Saint Michael the Archangel in your new office ☝️

Funny how folks post about the 'elite' while they enable a rogue elitist like Demonique to attack good people, act like county royalty, manipulate appointments, county partie(s), the ballot, gossip about people's life story for popularity, control who talks to whom, and dictate the public perception of others, all while claiming to fight for the 'most vulnerable" on a new $120,000 salary. Some people need to remember how they got their seat to begin with. Closed session appointment? Back door deal? Started off as "a kid from Flint", now the power's gone to their head. Enough is enough. Why do people have no problem calling out the elite nationally but then empower them locally?

[Matthew Smith Jr. @MatthewSmithjr]

What is Corporate Greed? Corporate Greed is back‑door deals and shady contracts that put profits over students, teachers, and the public good.

In 2018, a local corporation, DCC Construction ran their son Granger L. Stefanko for the school board and by 2019 the company landed a multi‑year, $72 million contract as general manager of all district projects while the same family member sat on the School Board and the Buildings & Transportation committee that awards bids. This is all a matter of fact and public record.

I flagged that conflict of interest, it made the front page news, but instead of investigating they smeared me with lies and distraction campaigns in 2020 to silence the whistleblower and keep the corporate deals private. They lied to you the voters and spent corporate money to try and recall me over a fake dog story. The same company built a house for my dad, convinced him I’m crazy for calling this out, my dad now lives in a neighborhood made up of DCC family and contractors, his new home sits between the president and vice president of DCC , and he’s turned his back on me to side with the people who slandered me over flooring contracts.

I’m left with a ruined reputation, and lost my school board seat for exposing what was happening; it’s time to put Cardinals over corporations, get the facts into the light, and let voters decide.

Many Davison families are struggling to put food on the table and pay for gas. Yet, these folks are using the school board like the town country club. People have lied on my name and slandered me long enough for doing what’s right. I was the lone fighter on board. The community deserves a fighter.

This same company ran their secretary Joubran as a plant as well for the Kearsley school board and they got millions in their respective district. They got her appointed to the GISD now. They run plants and they try to make ME look like a clown for running average taxpayers to fight this. I ran my step grandma against their Kearsley’s plant and she won. The corporate greed stopped and students were put first. It’s time this community wakes up and realizes that the school board is stacked.

Why is this relevant? Stefanko’s position/seat is now open for its own contract renewal via the ballot box. When I was on the board, the board attorneys put it in writing that this issue will be brought up in the next election. I seen the document myself. Here we are. These are the facts.

It’s okay if one board member out of seven isn’t a cronie. Stefanko’s seat is up this year, and that matters as your tax dollars are on the line. It’s time to put Cardinals over corporations and demand transparency.

Tonight was “blessing of the objects” and confession night. I appreciate the local Catholic Churches for hosting late night confessions since I can’t go during the day because of my job.

The sacrament of reconciliation is very powerful and is exactly what I need in my life.

Thank you Jesus for this wonderful opportunity to refresh and reset.

“Our Lady of the Knots (A title for the Blessed Virgin) is a popular Catholic devotion based on a 17th-century Baroque painting in Augsburg, Germany. It represents the Virgin Mary effortlessly untangling the "knots" of sin, family struggles, and impossible situations, and was famously popularized by Pope Francis.”

Our Lady of the Knots, Pray for us!

THIS IS BULLSHIT. I stand with Father Stephen Rossetti. A top‑notch exorcist whose credibility and courage deserve our support. Cardinal McElroy will be getting a lengthy letter from me.

Beautiful day to be in the backyard🇺🇸☀️

They provided us corporate staff with lunch today. Fine, I’ll support corporate greed if it comes with fries. JK 🤣

Tonight’s read: Saint Ignatius of Loyola: the Spiritual Exercises and selected works. I circled the part in red that hits close to home.

[Matthew Smith Jr. @MatthewSmithjr]

There’s a difference between a controlled spirit and a free spirit. As county chair I was scripted, controlled and manipulated by the clowns who had the “power” and it crushed me. Now I’m unapologetically myself: free, fierce, and impossible to box in. Never be controlled. Be you
