UPDATE on the Detroit woman whose children froze to death in the back of a van... One of the few shelters reserved for women and children that she tried to access operates illegally. It's flunked its fire and building inspections. Plagued with faulty wiring, plumbing, elevator, and exposed electrical outlets. A 50-gallon drum of hydraulic oil near the boiler, uninspected sprinklers, faulty fire doors and emergency lighting. It's never been issued a certificate of occupancy. It is illegal to kennel dogs under such conditions. But the city has allowed it to operate in this condition for more than a year because of "great need." And there is great need. There is a great need to fix this place. I saw a baby this morning having his breakfast on the vestibule floor. Americans send hundreds of millions of dollars to Detroit, which is ultimately responsible for the shelters. Where has the money gone? Not here. In its great wisdom, the city voted today to double the shelter's capacity. I spoke with the head of the shelter. He promises fixes are on the way. I'll hold him do his word. I said it before. I'll say it again. Billions overseas. Billions for illegals. And for our children? Gruel on a floor, and a bed in the cemetery. Outrageous.

ALERT: Another Media hoax Trump: "Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's (Harris) your president." The local press and politician are going berserk here in Michigan. The Outrage! (Watch the Harris commercial during the Lions/Cowboys game today.) Except it's fake. A 6 second clip was ripped from 7,380 seconds of Trump's speech delivered to the Detroit Economic Club last week, and disseminated by a bumptious blowhard who thinks his colonoscopy is worthy of a tweet. But look closer (or watch below). As has become custom with the increasingly irrelevant media, Trump's statement was taken wildly out of context. Trump spoke at great length and quite clearly about how the auto industry thrived here until politicians, greedy corporate leaders, their lobbyists and the gullible media pushed for terrible trade deals that have allowed foreign nations to come in and take our markets, jobs and factories. Trump rattled off tariffs on US products in other countries. He rightly said this was happening not only with cars but with other American products with no reciprocal pushback from US political and business leaders. He railed against neo-liberal/neo-con globalists who are destroying our country's manufacturing base and gutting our cities. That, if we let them keep going, America ad a whole will suffer as Detroit has. That was his point. About an hour into his speech, Trump said if you elect Harris, you'll get more of the same: "Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president." The media ripped this 6 seconds and presented it in isolation. Misleading snippets. Ugly stuff. A true threat to democracy. What the press does not report: On Monday, before Trump's speech, ~2,500 Chrysler workers in Warren, Michigan were shown the door by their corporate masters, now headquartered in Europe. On Friday, after Trump's speech, ~2,000 Detroit Jeep workers we're put on extended "temporary" layoff. The press plays political games. And the corrupt politicians take them to lunch. They're running a hustle on us. I have attached the mayor of Detroit's tantrum tweet. Let's fact check him: + Detroit's crime data is heavily massaged to put it generously. Nevertheless, the Motor City remains rated as America's second most dangerous city. + Detroit's population would continue to be sinking if it weren't for the influx of illegal immigrants. + Detroit's tax revenues, when adjusted for inflation, are less than they were during the year of its historic bankruptcy. + Meanwhile, property taxes remain the highest of any major American city, and the schools among the worst. You are correct Mr. Mayor. You did that all by yourself.
