Trump-backed Candidates Win Key Races
at Michigan GOP Convention

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 5/1/2022 2:34:50 PM

The grassroots muscle displayed by supporters of former president Donald Trump last weekend shocked the traditional Michigan Republican establishment. Going into the April 23 GOP Spring Endorsement Convention, party regular Tom Leonard—a former speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives—was widely favored to win the party’s endorsement to take on Democrat incumbent Attorney General Dana Nessel in November.Shortly before the Grand Rapids gathering, Leonard released a list of 200 endorsements he received from establishment Republicans. At the convention, Leonard was defeated by Matt DePerno, a private-sector constitutional lawyer from southwest Michigan who has never held public office.

See that, J.D. Vance? You are going to win. But God as my witness, you turn into a Boehner or a Romney, and you'd better start updating your resume on day one.

It is often said that Michigan is a blue state sometimes turns purple. I love many things about President Trump. However, the candidates he endorsed cannot win statewide. Tom Leonard lost to Dana Nessel by three points in 2018. He should have been the nominee. The AG's race (and the SoS race) are very winnable if the GOP would have nominated centrist Republicans that focused on making the state better instead of re-litigating the 2020 election. The goal in a state like Michigan needs to be not only to nominate candidates who the base will vote for, but who also are marginally attractive to Independents and common sense Democrats.

If there really is a Dog, Dana Nessel would be going back to being just a run-of-the- mill fur trader.

According to Paul Alexander, when former President Donald Trump was trying to tackle COVID-19 in 2020, the “swamp” or the “deep state” was working against him, using flawed data to tarnish him, locking down society, and keeping schools closed. “Can you imagine the president of the United States fighting against the [teachers’] union, fighting against the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)], fighting against his own task force?” (snip) “They’re working against him.(snip) From late March till early September 2020, Alexander served as scientific adviser to Michael Caputo, then-assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The ranking Republican on the House oversight Committee said Thursday that Hunter Biden is a “national security threat” amid mounting evidence that Joe Biden was complicit in his son’s corrupt foreign business dealings. Amid concerns that the president is dangerously compromised, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that Republicans are “having discussions” about impeaching him if they win the House majority in November. The New York Post last week reported that Biden met with his son’s business partner, Eric Schwerin, in the West Wing of the White House on November 17, 2010. Schwerin was then the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners. Schwerin reportedly

Pfizer announced Friday that a recent large, late-stage trial found that its COVID-19 antiviral pill, Paxlovid, failed at preventing symptomatic infection of people living with a person who has the disease. The trial enrolled 2,957 participants aged 18 and older who live in the same household as another person who has COVID-19 with symptoms. They were given either Paxlovid or a placebo twice daily for five or 10 days. (snip)The results were not statistically significant, however, which means it could possibly be due to chance.

The first principle in battling against the Alinsky crew is to not to accept their terminology. Controlling language is a specific tactic of the professional political left. We used to call it labeling, but modern leftists moved beyond labels into the creation of new definitions. Modern leftists now use two different strategies depending on their target: (1) create new words, the traditional labeling; and (2) redefine existing words. In this interview Naomi Wolf is one of the few people I have seen who correctly starts her discussion by dispatching the linguistics and framing her own baseline argument.

One of the things that has made Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter so much fun is he’s driven the left mad with just his claim that he believes in preserving free speech on Twitter. He also has shown that he has a sense of humor. Yes, he wants to preserve free speech on the platform — but he also shows that he wants people to have fun on it. He has a lot of fun with it himself. On Friday, he proved that again, when he delivered a master-level response to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). AOC was sharing one of her typical “I hate billionaires” rants.

This is getting seriously out of hand.

Good grief, that’s almost $50 billion in aid, plus the billions in distributed weapons.

Hundreds of nurses and doctors, including a chief medical examiner, have been investigated by the state of Michigan on COVID-related allegations ranging from videotaping a wedding where some guests weren’t wearing masks to telling trick-or-treaters not to get the vaccine. Authorities dismissed many of the complaints. Dozens are still pending, with a number referred for disciplinary action. Some have been referred to the Michigan Attorney General’s office for criminal prosecution. An allergy and asthma specialist is the subject of one of the referrals sent to the attorney general. The complaint accuses the doctor of prescribing “a lethal dosage” of ivermectin. Copies of the complaints(snip) were provided exclusively to the Epoch Times.

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) labeled payments that went to Fusion GPS for opposition research against her rival Donald Trump as going to legal services, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) determined. A yearslong investigation into the matter, triggered by multiple complaints, led commission lawyers to conclude that payments reported as legal services actually went to Fusion to dig into Trump, documents released on April 28 show. Invoices “demonstrate that Fusion was providing opposition research services related to Trump and Russia, and there is no evidence that Fusion provided services other than this opposition research,” the lawyers wrote in a brief.

Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, has said his proposed “hybrid working pilot” for US, Europe and UK employees is an attempt to balance the corporate benefits of in-office working with the personal advantages that working from home gives staff members.

Despite the lack of any definitive proof that the President has the authority to simply cancel student loan debt without congressional approval, Joe Biden is reportedly in talks to do precisely that and he claims a decision will be coming in a matter of weeks. The progressive lobby in Congress has been pushing Biden to take such an action, but he supposedly isn’t prepared to give them everything they want. The target figure for progressives is $50,000 in debt relief for everyone. Biden said he’s not going that high and there are expected to be income caps associated with any proposed relief.
