I believe the Democrats probably can hold both houses for the next four years. Realistically if mid-term voter turnout stays high Democrats could control the state indefinitely. I was not expecting mid-term turnout to be so strong. It will be interesting to see if Michigan keeps its flat income tax,...

With as strong as Dixon performed at the debates with Whitmer, she shouldn't have trouble getting a gig on cable news. As such, it would be to her personal advantage to concede and line up something else for herself. Whitmer should have slam dunked all over Dixon with both her experience in state go...

I oppose Proposal 3, but then again as I am getting older part of my bias is against moving next to euthanasia (sorry, doctor assisted suicide) which the state rejected by 40 points in 1998. It may be on the ballot next, and if the legislature stays Republican they may also pass a proposal for capit...

It certainly helped Dixon, as did the first debate. I don't know enough about how far Dixon went in challenging the 2020 election, but it should have been a beating point for Whitmer. In both debates, Dixon shut her down when accused of election denial immediately. In that sense, she certainly succe...

Proposal 3 is depraved. But when it passes we MIGHT see the courts put limitations on an unlimited proposal. The courts have made clear that they will set the narrative, and the rest of us have made clear that we will follow what they say we have a right to do and not do. The truest criticism I ever...

Will the sacking of Boris Johnson by his own party go down as the worst PM change since Churchill? I have to believe Truss holds on at least through winter being that she's unpopular already and if rolling blackouts do occur this winter she can be given the blame and the boot.

The Detroit News declined to endorse either. Of course if Mayor Daley were running for Michigan AG the Free Press wouldn't hesitate to endorse him. 😀 Some politicians that are suspected of being corrupt get things done... Chicago now or Chicago then. In reality it is one or the other. If they believ...

No question the debate helped Dixon, which was expected. Dixon has no experience in Lansing and so a constant attack position was expected. Whitmer seemed a little dazed at times at all the attacks despite spending millions on ads doing the same thing to her opponent. This race is a toss up, a lot o...

Next question, will the Fed rate hike be a full point? Will 8ish% be the new modern mortgage rate as it was in the Clinton years when the economy was booming? Will young people see this amount as highway robbery even though middle aged and older Americans grew up with these rates?

I will vote no on Proposal Three, but I believe it should be on the ballot and the majority of voters should decide the issue. Catholic hospitals in this state have already been sued for their religious beliefs and an overreaching court order could see them exit reproductive healthcare entirely. The...

Will inflation start to rise again making voters jittery? Will heating bills in October be a concern for voters as our cold season begins? Will this long expected wave of evictions ever happen? How many Detroit voters will vote for a Black Republican over an Asian Democrat and will any carry over to...

This should be on the ballot, though the spacing issue is embarrassing. Will the state supreme court sit on their hands hoping it hurts Republicans in an election cycle that they were expected to be strong?

https://fordauthority.com/2022/08/2023-ford-f-150-lightning-lineup-to-ditch-am-radio/ More bad news for AM stations., as the Big 3 were still building electric cars with AM. If they expand the FM dial, Biden will have to hand licenses to AM stations even though it will be many years before people ha...

Dixon is toast because of her position on abortion... Hard to say since there will also be an amendment on the ballot that would make her beliefs hard to impose. If Dixon can convince people she has a realistic plan at eliminating the income tax and can draw the Detroit Arab community (she is Middle...

So now a circuit judge elected by Oakland County voters can issue a restraining order against every prosecutor in the state. The State Supreme Court seems unwilling to take up the matter before November. It will be interesting to see how the proposal in November does at the ballot box. While it shou...
