My beef with Abdul:

He says he’s a doctor. He’s not. He’s unlicensed.

He’s for abolishing the police. He deleted the tweet, but CNN found it.

His staff denied he’s a dual citizen w Egypt. Video shows Abdul saying he’s a dual citizen and he summered in Egypt.

He refuses to condemn the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran.

He blames terrorism on America’s policies.

He calls Israel bloodthirsty. Who uses that language?

He says he hasn’t taken a penny of corporate contributions, but his FEC report shows he received $1.9 million in contributions from 629 corporate executives, including from Nvidia, Google and Pfizer.

Abdul is a conman.

Sometimes, there is crying in baseball.

Cinematic ending to an incredible career.

Thank you for everything, @JustinVerlander. #RepDetroit

[Calico Joe @CalicoJoeMLB]

There is an entire generation of Tigers fans who will have a chapter close for them today.

Justin Verlander wasnt just a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. He was a sign of hope, turned sign of dominance. He carried the franchise on his back from the minute he was announced as the 2nd Overall pick out of Old Dominion.

Thankful to grow up watching #MustSeeJV

Seattle drafted Vinnie Johnson seventh overall in 1979 out of Baylor, where he'd averaged 24 points a game and once dropped 50 on TCU.

Two years later the Sonics traded him to Detroit, and he spent the next decade doing the same job every night.

Coming off the bench.

Thirteen NBA seasons and he was never the guy. He was the guy who came in when the guy needed a rest.

He was spectacular at it.

In the 1985 playoffs he scored 22 points in the fourth quarter against Boston. Danny Ainge came out of that game and gave him the name that stuck forever.

"If that guy in Chicago is the Refrigerator, then Vinnie Johnson is the Microwave."

In Game 5 of the 1990 Finals he hit a 14-footer with 0.7 seconds left to beat Portland and clinch Detroit's second straight championship. After that they called him 007 too.

Two rings. 11,825 career points. Number 15 hanging in the rafters in Detroit.

Total career earnings: about $6 million. His best season paid him $1.4 million, at the very end, in 1990.

He retired in 1992.

Three years later he started a company in Detroit that made packaging supplies for automakers.

Here's what he said the point of it was.

"I really wanted to get into business and create some jobs and opportunities. I wanted to do something different outside of basketball, but the main thing was giving back to the city of Detroit for all the support they have given me."

General Motors gave him his break. He shifted the company from packaging into automotive assembly, which meant building whole systems for car manufacturers instead of shipping them parts in boxes.

Then he just kept going.

Piston Group today does more than $3 billion in annual revenue. It employs over 10,000 people across the United States, Mexico and Canada, in about three and a half million square feet of plant space. It supplies Ford, GM, Honda, Toyota and Chrysler.

It is one of the largest minority-owned businesses in the world.

Vinnie Johnson is worth somewhere around half a billion dollars.

He made $6 million in thirteen years of professional basketball. His company now generates roughly 500 times that, every single year.

And he built it in the city that watched him play, specifically so people there would have somewhere to work.

Black American tells it like it is:

“Muslims are the reason blacks are here in America.

18 million blacks were taken from Africa to Arabia. They are still enslaving people today!

90% of the enslavement was done by Muslims, not Europeans and Christians.”

A FEDERAL INDICTMENT AND A SECRET EMAIL: Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has been using an email address that isn't her government account.

We know because her own department blacked it out. No exemption cited.

They blacked it out of records requested about Benson’s connections with Southern Poverty Law Center, which is under federal indictment on eleven counts including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Their trial starts in October, the month before Michigan votes.

Former Attorney General @Mike_Cox asked for those records 113 days ago. He got thirty pages and a $5,154.97 bill. Unacceptable. What’s being hidden?

I joined Mike as co-counsel this week. Today we filed an amended complaint asking the Court of Claims to order the rest produced before ballots go out next month.

🚨 MEET WINNIE BRINKS—JOCELYN BENSON'S FAR-LEFT, EXTREME PICK FOR LT. GOVERNOR

Winnie Brinks oversaw the most leftwing, out of touch budget we've ever seen in Michigan. Her $9 billion in one-time-funding included 200 million to fix the roads, with zero to show for it. Winnie Brinks championed Green-New-Deal scam legislation, pet projects with no names attached, and the elimination of Right to Work protections.

Like Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson, Winnie Brinks is too extreme for Michigan.
