DAVID TROTT SEEMS CONFIDENT HE HAS BOUGHT HIS ELECTION TO CONGRESS Revised 10/29/2014 Article re David Trott. SPECIAL MESSAGE to voters in the 11th Congressional District:   David Trott's latest TV Ads no longer depict him as a worthy candidate. He appears his election has been bought! He has adopted a role where he arrogantly appears at the end of other commercials promoting their own interests. David Trott assumes his self-serving personality in his trite message. "I'm David Trott and I approve this message." Visit his website where he portrays himself as a happily married family man, a sympathetic job creator and avows a promise, Americans have heard since 1980 in a vow to reduce the National Debt. Ronald Regan campaigned on this issue and in eight years "tripled the debt."  There is not a single word mentioning his past business career that is tainted by a continuous financial business plan and make millions by maximizing his law firms' vu

The New York Times Reveals Another Tragedy and Cover-Up in the Iraqi War  Truthout  provides a summary of a  New York Times article that reveals that horrendous casualties are the result of chemical weapons present throughout Iraq. Worse is the cover-up.  truth behind Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Bush administration acted with certainty in their arguments and defense of the invasion. However, the WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) were not nuclear. Both George H. Bush and George W. Bush provided chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein beginning prior to 1991. Many Americans had this hunch as motivation behind the invasion. George W. Bush ordered the invasion, not to free Iraqis from a dictator but to save embarrassment to his father due to these chemical weapons eventually would be revealed. In this sense the presence of  large stockpiles of  chemical, gas and biological weapons some considered these as proof of the existence of WMD. However, The New York Times reports, "Bush ad

GOVERNOR   SNYDER TYPIFIES THE MODERN POLITICIAN SPEAKING TO ONLY THE ISSUES HIS AUDIENCE CAN IDENTIFY This photo may have inspired the television Ad. Here Gov. Snyder pays close attention to a recipe for "flat bread" as part of Michigan's Economic Recovery (September 18) How many times have you thought about our Representatives on federal, state and local levels who you cast your vote only to be disappointed by their lack of performance? Who are these people?  This is not who and what you supported. They have sold out and abandoned the issues they made promises they avowed. Should you learn anything from this blog, remember a "true statesman" maintains his integrity and courage. On the other hand, the "politician" maintains a huge war chest (campaign funds) and has no remorse as to how he uses it. Today, there is no simple explanation of how our government is moving toward the dismantling the basic  Principles of Democracy and rights of

MICHIGAN GOVERNOR SNYDER INITIATES ONLY ONE POSITIVE INITIATIVE IN DETROIT* Several months ago Gov. Snyder announced an initiative within five neighborhoods within the City of Detroit where the State plans to assist for their survival. The areas across the city have a reputation where housing market held, residents supported public schools and took the initiate to stand against crime. I am about as surprised as pleased the Governor made this announcement. I recall the plan is to target these areas and encompass them with steps to protect the community advances in place and invest in improved support. With so much vacant land amid 137 square miles I believe it made sense. It is a beginning in saving these neighborhoods in spite of any critics who might see this move as segregation. You must begin somewhere in the largest size (by square miles) city in the nation. However, a few weeks earlier I toured the Warren/Cadieux area as one named in his press release. Unfortunately, visi

The Governor views tonight as a Town Hall meeting. Mark Schauer his Democratic opponent, looks to Debate. VOTE MARK SCHAUER AS MICHIGAN'S GOVERNOR  "And Now for Something Completely Different" with the Town Hall Debate for Michigan Governor When: Sunday, October 12, 2014, 6:00 PM, WDIV Detroit Mark Schauer, the Democratic candidate for Governor must seize any opportunity to confront the Governor at every television time-out and those of football games airing elsewhere. This is one of the limited televised debates afforded to him to engage the Governor and confront his record. The election is merely days away on November 4, 2014. As many pundits echo, Governor Rick Snyder's summer provided plenty of political gaffs, misinformation of the facts and his condescending attitude toward minorities, other cultures and almost anyone that resides within ten miles from Detroit. If Mark Schauer (D) candidate is given the opportunity to raise the real iss
