A level of arrogance/stupidity unknown to mankind.
Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;
Good fortune seems to you have sung, to live and love way past long -
Good find. Whitmer won the recent Governor’s election big, riding abortion as her key (really sole) focus. She spent millions on pro-abortion ads when the Republican candidate literally didn’t answer. Spent nothing. Whitmer was sworn in two days ago for her second term. Michigan Democrats now have control of the House, Senate and Governor’s office for the first time in 40 years.
Whitmer’s interesting…super smart, with comparatively few people skills and super tone deaf. My favorite part of her first election was that she ran on getting funding for both roads and schools, and then reneged on both promises.
Good quote:
While Michigan has been slow to bounce back from some of the country’s strictest COVID policies, Whitmer has said priorities in her second term include bringing auto jobs back to the state and helping small businesses recover.
Yeah…she’ll be able to do that. Sure. Another great quote from Rosemary Bayer, a Democratic state senator first elected in 2018. She and others already have tried to lower some expectations and focus on passing legislation that has widespread appeal across the state.
“Pressure from lobbyists and special interest groups already is immense, and Democratic caucus members are having internal debates about how to proceed. “We can’t do everything at once,” Bayer said. “We don’t want to scare everybody.”
Love that. Don’t want to scare everybody. And speaking of scaring everybody, last quote is best, from State Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who received national attention after a viral speech on the state Senate floor in April, said what Michigan Democrats are able to accomplish could stand in contrast with Washington, which will have divided government with the GOP holding a slim House majority.
“It feels like Michigan is going to be a real opportunity to signal to the rest of the country what it looks like when Democrats are in charge,” McMorrow said.
Yep. It sure is.

No pressure. If the rest of the country cares what it looks like when Democrats are in charge, California, Oregon and Washington are textbook examples.

It must be interesting to be Gavin Newsom. He has presidential ambition seeping out of his pores. Yes, he personally told Biden that he’s not running. Biden ran as a moderate — which the country wanted, he was the only Democrat who could beat Trump — yet he has given much of his party’s policies over to the Progressives, who are considered far left by most of the country.
When it’s Newsom’s turn — and I believe he thinks his turn will come sooner rather than later — the Far Left dominates California politics, and frankly, the country just isn’t ready for it. I know that Newsom thinks he has a grand story to tell: economic success of California, at $3.63 trillion, the 4th largest economy in the world. He trounced the recall effort, rolled over the November election, and has spoken in Florida and Texas on the California miracle, such as it is. In all likelihood, he’s shooting for 2028, rather than 2024.
So Biden will run again, presuming he’s still alive, and the country’s first octogenerian President may — or may not — get re-elected. Not sure what will happen to Kamala, I think she’s short-term only.
Food for thought. Newsom might be running for Feinstein’s Senate seat. She’s 89 and should retire soon, although she filed the paperwork with the FEC that indicates she’ll run again in 2024 when she’s 91.

No masks were required for kids from Ann Arbor at @GovWhitmer’s Inauguration Party a few days ago.
Sadly, masks are required when Ann Arbor Public School students go back to school today.
Appalling. https://t.co/P3rrLPrrBF
