Weird for a mayor to ditch his city the first chance he gets and never come back.
Greg Ballard sold off Indy’s utilities, lost Republican control of the City-County Council, expanded IndyGo, greenlit the BlueIndy boondoggle... and then moved to Carmel and later South Carolina
That’s odd, because the hundreds of faith leaders & everyday Hoosiers I’ve spoken with since @GovBraun declared June “Nuclear Family Month” have been overwhelmingly supportive and grateful for the proclamation.
I’m glad Indiana joined other common-sense states like Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Oklahoma in recognizing what successful civilizations throughout history have understood: strong families are the foundation of strong communities, a strong culture, and a strong nation.
Supporting the nuclear family shouldn’t be controversial… it should be common sense.
@Indy_reporter_@thekalebmccague@BeauBayh I interviewed Bayh on the ballot initiative issue here. It won’t fix anything and will make other things a lot worse.

"In half a lifetime, many Americans have seen their God destroyed, their heroes defiled, their culture polluted, their values assaulted, their country invaded, and themselves demonized as extremists and bigots for holding on to the belief Americans have held for generations." - Pat Buchanan
🚨 The Indiana FOP just voted unanimously that they have NO CONFIDENCE in Indianapolis prosecutor Ryan Mears.
Mears’ woke catch-and-release “justice” has turned Indiana’s capital city into a revolving door for repeat violent criminals.
Mears should resign in disgrace

While the @IndyCouncil will be having meetings this month discussing raising the wheel & excise, they never want to talk about cutting spending on things like "The Immigrant Legal Services Fund"(immigration attorneys).
In fact, @mccormick_indy wants to double it.
YouTube has apparently decided to censor my latest episode of Ask Micah Anything on Islam in America.
No worries. I'll just post the entire video here:
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
The new "Ask Micah Anything" is here!
On this episode, I answer your questions on Islam in America.
Looking forward to getting your feedback in the comment section below:

If we want to prevent more young Hoosier lives from being taken too soon, we need to enforce the law, back our police, and make sure violent offenders stay in prison where they belong.
Gordon Wood - the eminent historian of early America who just died - was a forceful critic of the NYT ‘1619 Project,’ which was a cheap propaganda effort to convince Americans that slavery was what this country is all about. He dismantled the project methodically. Link next post.
Indiana universities exist to serve Indiana residents. There are better ways to serve locals than using out-of-state students to subsidize a sticker price tuition freeze.

I just found out South Bend, Indiana created a Reparatory Justice Commission.
According to the commission itself:
"The Reparatory Justice Commission was empaneled by the South Bend Common Council on September 28, 2023, to study aspects of reparatory justice for the harms and injustices experienced by African Americans and other Black people of African descent, as individuals and as a group."
Yes, taxpayer dollars funded a study on reparations.
The report is out, and the recommendations are pretty much what you'd expect:
• Prioritize contracts for Black-owned businesses
• Free GED access and expanded support services
• Recruit and hire more Black teachers
• Mandatory cultural competency training
• Remove criminal-history questions from many job applications
• More housing assistance programs
• More government-funded mentorship programs
The answer to nearly every issue seems to be:
More government.
More programs.
More spending.
More taxpayer-funded intervention.
Apparently, the path to "reparatory justice" is having City Hall act as your employer, mentor, counselor, housing coordinator, educator, and life coach.
Daddy Government to the rescue.

Whenever I say Purdue should limit enrollment of out-of-state/international students, people ask:
DON’T THEY SUBSIDIZE THE TUITION FREEZE?
Maybe, but $10,000/year tuition is still unaffordable, especially when nonresidents have prompted a housing & cost-of-living crisis.
The majority of Beau Bayh's campaign contributions are from outside Indiana.
Anyone wonder why liberal donors in Connecticut, Illinois, and California are spending big for an Indiana Secretary of State race?
I'm sure it's just Beau's smile
Wow. One of Beau Bayh's biggest boosters is now saying the quiet part out loud.
Indiana Democrats want to institute California-style mass voting by mail and to send out millions of ballots to people who didn't request them.
One more reason to vote for Max Engling
Indiana voters aren't going to be duped by grifting Beau Bayh, trying to rebrand being himself as some "new" kind of Democrat for the future, lol...bullshvaki.
The only future he's interested in, is his own political future and nothing else!
Trend "NO BAYH" for Indiana!
@jstewartIndy@MikeNealIN At some point, however, they will have to identify the criminal psychopaths, whatever their demographics or root causes, and put them in jail for a long, long time. Nobody wants to talk about that.
