Florida Private Jet Scandal Threatens Gretchen
Whitmer’s Political Future

Dishonesty and hypocrisy surrounding Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) secret “personal” trip to Florida are threatening the one-time rising star’s political future. Like other Democrat governors, Whitmer opted to impose harsh restrictions in an attempt to deal with the coronavirus in 2020. After a spike in cases towards the end of the year, she reimposed many orders through her Department of Health and Human Services after her executive orders were ruled unconstitutional in October. In early April 2021, as coronavirus variants were growing around the country, Whitmer warned Michiganders not to go to Florida for spring break.

The owners of N62AE, the G280 that’s took her locked down FlightAware from showing the trip but there are other flight tracking apps like FlightRadar24 that will show it. Besides, the FAA will have the info and respond to a public records request, right?

#3, a few reasons: 1. Democrat 2. Female 3. Two big reasons: she has an impressive rack, and has freely admitted it gets her a lot of attention, and she has encouraged that attention.

You would think what she has done would have ended her career, and gotten her recalled. But if it takes a trip to do it, then do what it takes to remove her from office.

Gov. Northam in Virginia did the same thing. His wife went to NC beach house and he joined her several times. He ,too, flew on private jet. She is a liar and a cheat. She should be impeached!

She is so arrogant and detached from reality that she just does not understand why the peasants would have any objection to her making a Florida trip on a private jet while those same peasants and peons are forcibly locked in their homes by her imperial edicts. They should understand who she is, and that she has important business to attend. Her Father was an important insurance executive and is now retired to his Florida properties. She is certainly not going to be traveling by commercial air. She holds an important high office, so she can strong-arm private businesses that have dealings pending with the state. In return they get ''face-time'' with the important Governor. How could they ever say ''no'' to an important governor who could axe their lucrative state contracts? The peasants just need to calm down and follow the directions that are given them by their highly important elite Governor.

Yes, everyone saw Gretchen there throwing out the garbage and scrubbing the toilets at her father's home in West Palm Beach. What a wonderful daughter. It is so sad that Daddy must have lost his fortune and could not find any domestic help through his crisis.

Yes, we have Whitmer and now two Republican Representatives who voted for both impeachment and the January 6 commission. I live in a pretty solidly red county but we barely stand a chance with the heavily populated blue counties in the south eastern part of the state. Once in awhile we get a good Republican candidate. I'm really hoping John James is eventually successful.

She was elected because Michigan is a periwinkle state (just enough red in it not to make it truly blue) who ran as a moderate who would reach across the aisle and work with the Republican legislature. Toss in eight years of a moderate Republican (Rick Snyder), the Flint water crisis and an unattractive opponent, she was a shoo-in. I do not think her re-election is a fait accompli and she knows it. Hence, the rapid lifting of restrictions.

#14, I’ll never believe John James didn’t win that last election for Senator. They stole his victory just like they did President Trumps. I have an old lady crush on John James. Not just because of his looks (ok kinda because of his looks) but also because he’s a man of deep integrity and values.

Whitmer’s political future was already threatened by the millions of Michigan voters who despise her. This story surprises no one. Last Spring it was her husband name dropping to get his boat in the water ahead of everyone else after Whitmer advised everyone else against boating. Democrats are typically corrupt hypocritical liars. She’s just not very good at it.

Voting machines in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, caused concern this week when registered Republicans and independent voters were seeing Democrat-labeled ballots on primary day. Eyewitness News reported Tuesday that they had “received numerous calls from concerned citizens reporting issues with voting machines improperly labeling Republican ballots as Democrat.” “Because it’s a primary, Democrats and Republicans or independent non-partisans, have a different ballot,” explained Carl Romanelli, a judge with Luzerne County Board of Elections. “When you got into the ballot marking devices, the header on all of the ballots indicates that it’s a Democratic ballot,

There’s a new survey out about 2024, and it has great news for President Donald Trump. Even after being shut down on social media and having his primary avenue of communication — Twitter — cut off, turns out the Republican base still wants Trump to run for president again. According to a new McLaughlin & Associates survey, 73% of the base wants Trump to run again in 2024. Even more would vote for him if he did run, with 83% saying they would do so. Those are some pretty big numbers, and it’s clear that it means the base hasn’t moved on from Trump.

A Georgia judge will allow absentee ballots from the 2020 election to be unsealed to have them examined for possible fraud. In granting the motion on Friday, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero agreed to open 145,000 absentee ballots from Fulton County as part of a review into the 2020 election, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. One of the plaintiffs requesting to do an audit of Fulton County's results is Garland Favorito, the co-founder of a group called Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia. Favorito is currently soliciting donations to fund the effort on social media, and on Thursday tweeted, "Dear #VoterGa supporters, Please send money. Thanks! Garland."

House Democrats face an uphill battle in 2022
even without redistricting

Sabato’s Crystal Ball is a political website created by the UVA Center for Politics which, as the name implies, offers election predictions. Today the site published an analysis of the 2022 election which predicts Democrats are facing an uphill battle next year even before you consider the impact of reapportionment and redistricting. On balance, we expect the reapportionment of House seats — which we analyzed late last month — to benefit Republicans to a small extent. Redistricting seems likely to also help Republicans. Given that the Democrats only won a 222-213 edge in the House last year, Republicans only need to net five seats to win the House.

The University of North Carolina denied tenure to Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of an introductory essay of the Times Magazine’s 1619 Project. Hannah-Jones developed the journalism project for the New York Times and the New York Times Magazine. Conservatives are being blamed for the denial of tenure. Since its publication in 2019, the 1619 Project has been highly controversial. It is seen as a re-writing of history by its critics. The work has been discredited by many historians and experts, with some calling for factual corrections. It should not be a surprise that her controversy followed Hannah-Jones to UNC. Nor should it be a surprise

It’s been over a year since “two weeks to slow the spread,” and the pandemic is finally dragging to a finish. Cases are down, herd immunity has more or less arrived, and even in deep-blue Boston, Stop & Shop has announced it will end mask requirements before the month’s out. The pandemic saw a huge amount of power and money transferred to what Michael Lind calls the “overclass” of politicians, corporate managers and bureaucrats. Small businesses shut down while big-box stores deemed “essential” remained open. The laptop class worked from home — to the delight of many of its members — while the working class brought them stuff.

Israel had a relatively quiet night on Wednesday without rocket sirens since about 1 am until Thursday morning. The quiet came as Israel and Hamas are said to be close to a possible ceasefire that could go into effect as soon as Thursday evening or Friday night. A senior Hamas official told CNN on Wednesday night that he expects a ceasefire agreement to be reached within the next couple of days, Israeli media reported. "I think ceasefire mediation will work,” deputy head of the Hamas political branch Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook said. “The equation was clear

What wasn’t as expected (or perhaps it was?) is that 35 Republicans joined hands with their Democrat colleagues, agreeing to walk headlong into a partisan buzzsaw. This per The Daily Caller. The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would create a bipartisan, 9/11-style commission into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with dozens of Republicans joining Democrats in a rebuke of GOP leadership.

And now a report from the left-leaning Brooking Institute is claiming that the “unsustainable” nature of the suburbs means they must be transformed in the name of preventing climate change. The Brooking Institute report touts President Joe Biden’s “ambitious and necessary” goal to reduce greenhouse gas emission to 50 percent of the amount emitted in 2005 by 2030, with even bigger reductions by 2050.

A critical race studies and ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder says Americans wondering why Black citizens commit anti-Asian hate crimes have an answer: “White supremacy.” The educational watchdog Campus Reform spotlighted the commentary of Jennifer Ho, which preceded President Biden’s newly signed legislation aimed at combatting hate crimes against Asian Americans. “Anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: White supremacy,” Ms. Ho wrote for The Conversation. “So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by White supremacy. White supremacy does not require a White person to perpetuate it.”

Democrats have been flogging the image of Kamala Harris for more than six months, trying to show Americans why she should be popular, and the public isn’t buying it.The efforts and the expectations of success by Democrats say a lot about the party and their myopic view of the voters, which has cost them dearly during the last three national elections. A party that tells most voters they’re “racist” and says those same ordinary people must be cleansed of their “systemic racism” and delusions of “white supremacy” shouldn’t have to wonder why people don’t like them very much.But the Democrats keep doubling down — as they did with Harris.

The CDC last week updated its mask guidance and said fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks indoors. In order to prevent the unvaccinated from walking around unmasked, Oregon health officials are now creating a caste system by marking the unvaxxed lepers. “Businesses, employers and faith institutions now have the option to adjust their masking guidance to allow fully vaccinated individuals to no longer wear a mask in their establishments,” OHA’s website said.

It seems like a crazy urban legend: In China, drivers who have injured pedestrians will sometimes then try to kill them. And yet not only is it true, but it’s also fairly common; security cameras have regularly captured drivers driving back and forth on top of victims to make sure that they are dead. The Chinese language even has an adage for the phenomenon: “It is better to hit to kill than to hit and injure.” In contrast in our country, BLM regularly blocks roads and in most situations, the drivers are the ones that took the hit.
