The “America just got tossed into the abyss” narrative seems to assign very little agency to actual Americans who really do get to decide whether the abyss looks more inviting than the non-abyss.

Certainly there is a pro-abyss contingent, just look for anyone trying to use the assassination attempt of Donald Trump to further turn the temperature up. The abyss is good for some people. There are also people who can be drawn into the pro-abyss faction by fear and frustration.

But I think the abyss is both undesirable and pretty avoidable. Also, pitching the abyss as inevitable feels like a pro-abyss talking point.

This has been my New York Times Op Ed for the day and “abyss” no longer sounds like a real word to me. Abysss. Abyyysssss…

This picture of Hutch may go unnoticed by some, but pay attention to the Latin words on his shirt, “Resurget Cineribus” — To Rise from the ashes.

History Lesson:

For those who may find this puzzling, in 1805, the entire city of Detroit burned to the ground, leaving only one building standing. In the aftermath, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward devised a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. The layout mirrored the design of the nation’s capital, featuring diagonal streets radiating like the spokes of a wheel.

On the Detroit City Flag, the inscription reads, “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” translating to “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” The City of Detroit literally rose from the ashes, symbolizing rebirth and resilience.

The city motto and the sports teams share a profound connection, especially in recent years with the consistent rebuilding efforts of each team. The Lions embody the essence of the motto, “Rise from ashes.” Just three years ago, the Detroit Lions had a first-year coach, an underrated quarterback, and a dismal 3-13-1 record. Today, they stand just one game away from a Super Bowl appearance.

So when the nation wonders why this Lions’ journey is so extraordinary, it’s because it mirrors the unique spirit of Detroit. Through unwavering determination and hard work, we rebuild until the product is perfected. Throughout history, there have been moments when Detroit moved the world, and now, once again, the city and its football team rise from the ashes to inspire us all.

5 years ago I was against phone bans in K-12.

Fast forward to 2023, I am for every single K-12 school to ban phones.

Winner, Winner, Cherry Pie Dinner!

Michigan was ranked the #1 state to live and work in the country. By competing for investments and defending fundamental rights we’re ensuring people will thrive in our state for years to come.
