VOTE Today in Michigan's Primary Election

VOTE Today! It's a Primary Election in in Michigan, Or You May Miss Your Bus
Photo Rendering Image of First SMART bus
IF YOU failed notice, a TV “blitz” is underway for the past fortnight extolling Virtue, Morality and Public Duty from all of us. One ballot Proposal requests a millage hike to ensure the ongoing viability of SMART to serve the tri-county area for years to come (2017). The Chief Proponents appearing in the commercial with passage, new buses will be purchased. They avow their allegiance to the elderly, and disabled have access to reliable transportation. In addition, as an added community services those working poor residing in Wayne County will experience mobility to pursue jobs as domestics and landscapers in Birmingham, Bloomfield, Mitt’s Cranbrook and others.

Proponents for the millage weighed choices of circus barker and could not muster a clear winner. They needed SE Michigan's heavy hitters. Therefore, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, (a lifetime of infallible election exceeding Pope Benedict II) along with first timer, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel appear together in the political AD. 

They take turns extolling the SMART system and its’ critical need for their county’s residents. It is not that I oppose the millage increase to replace aging busses, I just cannot stop smiling as this 30 second spot loops during Click On newscasts. I just do not believe that Mr. Patterson ever willingly used public transportation (with possibly one exception of sheriff patrol). 

As newcomer, Mark Hackel, appointee as second in command to his father in every job he held, he then fathered the Macomb Water Patrol to protect Lake St. Clair. He encouraged the purchase of essential equipment to the unit, jet skis. Hackel’s SMART move to follow was to take the lead ski in this daring endeavor. If nothing else, I thank them both for the memories and a smile.

DETROIT- HAMTRAMCK, SHOULD WELCOME UKRAINE’S REFUGEES

  DETROIT- HAMTRAMCK, SHOULD WELCOME UKRAINE’S REFUGEES U.S. and Ukraine flags aloft in SE Michigan President Joe Biden has pledged to admit 100,000 Ukrainian refugees in Poland and other NATO countries. It seems to be a very small number in comparison. Over 5 million have fled the barbaric Russian war in Ukraine. Poland alone has taken in over 3 million. Rafal Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw, appeared on MSNBC  for an interview by Mika Brezinski .  Mayor Trzaskowski is appealing to step up and “share the burden” like Poland to meet the needs of refugees and resettlement.   There is a common-sense solution to the refugee crisis. As the United States comes to take in one hundred thousand refugees we stand to take in much more in Michigan. The number pales to that of Poland  which is taking on the largest relocation in Europe since the second World War. The city of Warsaw has grown thirty percent with 300,000 new residents. Poland is not only taking in, but welcoming Ukrainian refuge

YES WE CAN AND THE RESULT RELEASED  BY THE  4TH  OF JULY! (1388 words 7-8 minutes to read) AMERICANS MUST BE EDUCATED THAT SOCIALISM IS A TOOL   IN OUR DEMOCRACY KNOWN AS "AMERICAN REFORM" THE SOURCE AND METHOD MAY SURPRISE YOU THE WHYS Democratic House waffles back and forth, to and fro on this Impeachment issue. The White House and Attorney General block witness testimony and refuse to hand over critical documents in evidence to the Judiciary Committee. A Republican controlled Senate refuses to adhere to their oath of office. If Congress is obstructed then it is time for [We the] People voice their opinion on the direction Congress proceeds in the investigation and Articles of Impeachment.   Bipartisan politics continues to put Congress in a state of paralysis. A Democratic House is at work passing common sense gun background checks, take immediate action to protect our elections from Russian interference and address a failing infrastructur

HUMANITARIAN AID AND MILITARY HARDWARE NOW

Mariupol (NBC News) The seaport and industrial city of Mariupol has been bombarded by the Russians since the first days of the war. The news we hear is that the ruins of the city may fall any day. The fate of the 1000 citizens and the Ukrainian military are taking a last stand in an industrial steel complex and cry out for salvation. The Russians will not allow a humanitarian corridor to evacuate the women, children and injured from the underground tunnels and basements.  Russian refusal adds to the growing war crimes of Putin and his barbaric forces. President Putin has scoffed at sanctions even though they will eventually cripple the economy and the poor Russian people will suffer. But, these sanctions have been too slow to have a consequential effect. The United States has pledged billions to support Ukraine in this heinous war with reports of atrocities growing by day. There is not yet confirmation of the thousands of civilian casualties.   Putin is not fazed by any human element
