Gas is almost a dollar cheaper across the state line, but Governor Whitmer would rather play the blame game than save her constituents a single dime. She refuses to give Michigan gas tax relief no matter how high pump prices climb.
The Supreme Court just issued two good 6-3 decisions on immigration (TPS and asylum).
Don't let the timing fool anyone.
Soon, the Court will likely issue an egregiously wrong ruling.
The Court will pretend Chinese birth tourists, Tren de Aragua terrorists, Islamist invaders, and other illegals get automatic birthright citizenship.
We The People, the sovereign citizens of America, never agreed to this.
Not at our founding, not after the Civil War, not in any subsequent Congress.
Never.
This will serve as the most serious violation of our most crucial sovereign power:
Controlling who comes and goes--and who becomes one of us.
We The People never agreed to this judicially sanctioned invasion and replacement.
The State of Indiana suspended their gasoline tax to help their citizens. Michigan democrats refused to do the same. Michigan Gas Prices in Sturgis Michigan vs Howe, Indiana (only 6 miles south):

Abdul El-Sayed Is a Paper Doctor With an Empty Résumé
The people's champ has never treated a patient, and the little work he has done hasn't improved health in Detroit
By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff
A cop told me recently that he got a call from a rich white man complaining about a suspicious black man roaming his neighborhood.
Cops hate those kinds of calls. It puts them in a bad spot. But cops have to respond to calls. So he did. Turned out, the black man was an Amazon driver. And naturally, the white man had a sign in his yard that read “Black Lives Matter.”
Now, there’s a new sign on the white man’s lawn: “Abdul for U.S. Senate.”
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is running on a platform of good union jobs, money out of politics, and Medicare for All. I don’t understand the attraction. It’s doubtful the rich white man ever worked in a factory or has to worry about medical bills.
Let’s call it virtue signaling for virtue’s sake. It takes the sting out of white privilege.
For you workday humps who’d like to know something about the candidate beyond slick 30-second commercials, it’s worth noting that El-Sayed never worked in a factory, and aside from some part-time gigs at various colleges, his resume is thin. Very thin.
The first thing you need to know is that El-Sayed is a paper doctor. He’s never treated a patient, is not licensed in Michigan, and never passed the board examinations. He can’t so much as dispense aspirin from an ambulance.
The second thing you need to know is that El-Sayed, 41, has worked just two real jobs in his adult life, totaling less than four years, according to his resume. This from a guy who wants to be senator for life.
What’s troubling is where he worked and what he actually accomplished: He was appointed as the top public health official in Detroit and then Wayne County. Both departments are an historical quagmire of corruption and incompetence. Believe me, I know, I helped put one director behind bars for, among other things, embezzling public health dollars to pay for hair plugs.
For his part, El-Sayed was appointed as Detroit’s health director in 2015 by then-Mayor Mike Duggan. At that time, as the city was emerging from its historic bankruptcy, El-Sayed’s health department was funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into a pet program run by Duggan’s mistress. The program was supposed to lower infant mortality rates in the city.
After just 17 months on the job, El-Sayed resigned to run for governor. Then Mistress-gate scandal exploded and infant mortality skyrocketed. Nothing changed.
To El-Sayed’s credit, before resigning as health director, he commissioned a report that showed Duggan’s demolition blitz was poisoning the city’s children. That program is now the subject of a sprawling FBI investigation. However, El-Sayed the candidate has said little about it.
A couple years and cups of coffee later, El-Sayed was appointed in 2023 as the medical chief of Wayne County. According to his own campaign commercial, El-Sayed’s biggest accomplishment was a partnership with a nonprofit that supplied 16,000 eye glasses to needy children. What the commercial does not tell you is that the nonprofit existed for a decade beforehand and the county’s portion was funded primarily by Biden’s Covid bucks. One-time inflationary federal dollars is no solution to a health crisis.
All the while, life expectancy in Detroit continues to crater from pre-pandemic levels, hovering around 70 years old. That’s hardly an effective record.
There are also serious questions about El-Sayed’s campaigns finance problems, including indications of straw donors, actual contributors blowing past legal limits, and a Super PAC committed to spending millions of dollars on his behalf.
Then there are the disturbing questions regarding the mental fitness of those he surrounds himself with, including a former staffer charged with terrorism, a current staffer who says all white women are racist (ironically, that staffer herself is a white woman), and a prominent podcaster who once said America deserved 9/11. And can we get a timeline of when he actually lived in Michigan?
But those are stories for another day.
Go ahead and plant your yard signs rich white guy. That's your right. Just remember, you reap what you sow.
@C_3C_3 I haven’t noticed a difference but my daughter has. She is still waiting on her 24 & 25 tax refunds, for a name change. Has been doing everything they’ve asked for the last year & 1/2. Now trying to call them you can be on hold for 2 hours & the line will just go dead.
Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, INSULTING locals and bragging about how she ignores their concerns.
“We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' and doing it anyway.”
Democrats don't care about you.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
Help me understand America.
Why is it that liberal athletes are celebrated for speaking out politically, while conservative athletes are criticized for doing the same thing?
When athletes supported Obama, they were praised by the media, corporations, sports leagues, and Hollywood. Nobody called it “dangerous” or “polarizing.”
The same thing happened in 2016, when many athletes attended Hillary Clinton rallies, publicly supported her, and openly campaigned for her.
But when conservative athletes express their opinions, they are told to stay quiet, while liberal athletes are applauded for doing the exact same thing.
Americans can see the double standard.
When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.
Former Flint Mayor Karen Weaver told The Midwesterner residents had "election concerns" about fraud and when they asked SOS Jocelyn Benson to help, they were accused of "pushing a Republican agenda."
Weaver said Flint voters were "disenfranchised" and Benson did nothing.
