Michigan GOP fires back as Dem Whitmer
blasts ‘Freedom Convoy’
Posted By: mc squared, 2/12/2022 11:55:50 AM
Some Michigan Republicans spoke out in support of Canadian truckers Friday as the "Freedom Convoy" against vaccine mandates reached the Ambassador Bridge connecting Canada and Detroit. The GOP remarks contrasted sharply with those from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat who blasted the "Freedom Convoy" as "an illegal blockade." Among the Michigan Republicans backing the truckers was former Detroit police Chief James Craig, who is looking to unseat Whitmer as governor. On Friday, Craig accused Whitmer and President Biden of "demonizing the truckers," according to the Detroit News. "I stand with the truckers," Craig said, the newspaper reported. "I support all working people who are standing up for personal

"Real Time" host Bill Maher explained during the latest broadcast of his show that the Canadian truckers protesting vaccine mandates are justifiably upset at the elites because they had to continue to work throughout the pandemic while many others had the flexibility to sit at home at the expense of the government.
In starting the panel discussion of his Friday night show, Maher said that the Freedom Convoy is people "understanding this is about something more than just the vaccine mandate."
Panelist Vivek Ramaswamy, author of "Woke Inc.," agreed with Maher's assessment and said that the protests are about the "uprising of everyday citizens" against "the rise of this

On Tuesday night, radio host Monica Matthews of Clear Talk Media tweeted a communication allegedly between two officials at The Lovett School — a prestigious private K-12 school in Atlanta. It immediately got a lot of attention on Twitter and raised a lot of eyebrows. It’s easy to see why.
The communication purports to be between two officials at the school and says it is a “preliminary list” of many parents who have been deemed “insubordinate.” One staffer wrote that she was “disgusted by some of these parents” and talked about the “need to prioritize our efforts as some have too much influence.”
Our watch list-to keep hard copy only? Confirm!”
The Reuters news agency has exposed one small corner of the federal government’s extraction of debt-trapped child workers from poor countries for use in low-wage, low-tech, dangerous workplaces.
From Enterprise, Alabama, the news agency reported on a teenager who was delivered by federal officials to an Alabama home close to a chicken processing company:
At age 16, when most kids in the United States are halfway through high school, Amelia Domingo found herself working on chicken processing machines in this farm town and deep in debt to loan sharks in her native Guatemala.
Sometimes, the best thing a politician can do is to put the shovel down when they are caught in a compromising position. Stacey Abrams must not be aware of that adage.
As RedState reported previously, Abrams decided it’d be a great idea to post a picture of herself maskless while surrounded by masked children. The issue with that is obvious. Children are at less risk from COVID-19 than fully vaccinated and boosted adults. Because of that, other countries long ago stopped masking young children, if they ever did, because it’s such a pointless, ineffective, and damaging practice. That makes it especially egregious when some politician ditches the mask at a school,

A California city has approved a law forcing gun owners to have insurance and pay an annual $25 fee.
“Certainly, the Second Amendment protects every citizen’s right to own a gun. It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right,” Democratic San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said, according to CNN.
Gun owners are also required under the law to have insurance. The law, which received its first approval in January, will need approval on a second reading this month before it can go on the books, taking effect in August.
Even before the second reading, a lawsuit has been filed to block the process.
Democrats Vs. Reality And Ron DeSantis

It’s to the point of absurdity, the ways in which the leftist media tries to destroy Republicans. While senators and congressmen definitely have targets on their backs from the press, governors are where the majority of their fire not directed at anyone named Trump has been trained. Gregg Abbott, Kristi Noem, and the main target of the left’s anger and hatred: Ron DeSantis. It makes sense that those Governors would be targets, Texas and Florida are huge states, and Noem is a smart, attractive, conservative woman. When you want to accuse Republicans of a “war on women” or just generally being misogynists, it’s wildly inconvenient to have one of the
St. Petersburg, Florida – A beautiful young woman born with a heart condition may have to have both of her legs amputated due to ‘Covid-19 complications.’
20-year-old Claire Bridges, who is fully vaccinated against Covid, is currently in the hospital facing the possibility of having both of her legs amputated because she wasn’t getting circulation to her legs after contracting Covid-19.
Fox 13 reported:
Claire Bridges, a 20-year-old, bubbly kavatender at the Grassroots Kava House in St. Pete, is sitting in a hospital room facing the unthinkable reality that she might have both legs amputated after getting sick with COVID-19.
Truckers in the Netherlands formed a convoy on Sunday to protest their nation’s lockdown measures, following the lead of their fellow road hauliers in Canada.
A convoy of trucks, tractors, and cars formed in Leeuwarden on Sunday to protest lockdown measures in the Netherlands.
The Dutch convoy mimicks a major lockdown protest being held in Canada, where thousands have poured into the nation’s capital of Ottowa to rally against vaccine mandates.
According to a report by Hart von Nederland, dozens of vehicles joined a convoy on Sunday morning in a way reminiscent of proceedings on the other side of the Atlantic, with those taking part demanding an end to
We have been following the “Freedom Convoy” of Canadian truckers that rolled out of metro Vancouver earlier this week on a cross-country convoy in protest of Canada’s vaccine mandate for truck drivers.
The convoy is now being joined by American truckers.
The convoy assembled in British Columbia on Sunday, and will arrive in Ottawa by Saturday where they are expected to be joined by other protesters driving from the east and the south of the country. Truckers from the US have also joined the massive convoy.
By Friday morning, the drivers were in Kingston, Ontario, which is about 110 miles from the capital city. Several
The Kansas City Chiefs released cornerback Damon Arnette following his arrest Friday night in Las Vegas for assault with a deadly weapon. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Arnette was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, and two counts of possession of controlled substances, per Clark County records.
In November, theLas Vegas Raiders released the cornerback after he posted an Instagram story pointing a gun at the camera, threatening to kill someone. The Raiders’ 2020 first-round pick then signed with the Miami Dolphins‘ practice squad in December. On Jan. 20, the Chiefs signed Arnette to a
Back in June, a father attending a meeting of the Loudoun County School Board was forcibly removed from the meeting by uniformed officers and subsequently charged with an offense (Loudoun County Father Who Was Slandered, Beaten, and Arrested Speaks Out). His crime was attempting to speak out on the forcible rape of his daughter by a skirt-wearing “transgender” student in the girl’s bathroom.
As it turned out, the school board seems to have violated state law (Loudoun County Officials Likely Lied About Knowledge of Sexual Assault in Restroom) regarding reporting requirements for sexual assaults on school grounds. Deciding they hadn’t dug the hole quite deep enough, the school

As buzz builds about who will push for the 2024 presidency in both major parties, one of the most unlikely names continues popping up in the news.
Hillary Clinton is making headlines as she sets up speaking engagements, shows up to campaign events, and sells merchandise poking fun at onetime rival Donald Trump. The former first lady, New York senator, secretary of state, and defeated 2016 Democratic nominee is back in the spotlight as President Joe Biden stumbles.
Former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the House Select Committee investigating the riot on January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol was important because it is getting to the bottom of “one of the darkest moments in our history.”Guest-host Jim Acosta said, “As you know, the top-secret designation means if those documents were released, it could cause grave damage to national security, so what’s your reaction to this report? Can you imagine removing top-secret documents from the White House?”
Kasich said, “When you talk about top-secret information, there were times I had to deal with it being on the Armed Services Committee.
The U.S. Army unveiled a plan this week to tackle issues surrounding climate change, including the establishment of an electric vehicle fleet, as well as the reduction of the branch's greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan, outlined by the Army in a document titled "Climate Strategy," calls for the service to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The strategy aims to establish an "all-electric light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027" and an "all-electric non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2035."
"There are 950 renewable energy projects supplying 480 megawatts of power to the Army today … scoped and planned through 2024," the Army strategy stated.

Hillary Clinton is expected to speak at the New York State Democratic Party Convention in an attempt to 'galvanize the party', sources claimed, as speculation mounts that she will run again in the 2024 presidential election.
