No BS Newshour Episode #427 El-Sayed Scampaign Donors Elizabeth is a true believer in liberal causes and continues to make small political donations by way of ActBlue—the Democrat online fundraising platform. (4:36) But somehow, those few dozen small donations she has made have transmogrified into 14,696 donations totaling more than $150,000—the equivalent of eight donations a day, every day for the past five years averaging $9.18. She says she has contributed to Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Socialist running for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat, but not 47 times spanning the last TWO YEARS, as federal filings show. PLUS- (28:30) Wrapped up like a meatloaf. The city’s removing soil so toxic the city has to wrap neighboring houses in cellophane. How poisoned is it? Why weren’t the neighbors told? Is the homeowner wrapped inside?

My friend Detroit Firefighter Walt Harris was murdered 17 years ago in an arson for profit scheme. His murderer got 40-60 years. But there he sat this week, yucking it up in court, claiming there's new evidence to acquit him. Problem is: the Michigan Court of appeals ruled 13 years ago that this "new evidence" was no evidence at all. Here's the evidence: a handyman said he was paid 20 bucks to light the fire. The murderer's cellphone was pinged near the scene of the crime at the time of the fire. There's video footage of his truck near the scene of the crime at the time of the fire. So how is he back in court? Money. Full show here:

ALERT: Another Media hoax Trump: "Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's (Harris) your president." The local press and politician are going berserk here in Michigan. The Outrage! (Watch the Harris commercial during the Lions/Cowboys game today.) Except it's fake. A 6 second clip was ripped from 7,380 seconds of Trump's speech delivered to the Detroit Economic Club last week, and disseminated by a bumptious blowhard who thinks his colonoscopy is worthy of a tweet. But look closer (or watch below). As has become custom with the increasingly irrelevant media, Trump's statement was taken wildly out of context. Trump spoke at great length and quite clearly about how the auto industry thrived here until politicians, greedy corporate leaders, their lobbyists and the gullible media pushed for terrible trade deals that have allowed foreign nations to come in and take our markets, jobs and factories. Trump rattled off tariffs on US products in other countries. He rightly said this was happening not only with cars but with other American products with no reciprocal pushback from US political and business leaders. He railed against neo-liberal/neo-con globalists who are destroying our country's manufacturing base and gutting our cities. That, if we let them keep going, America ad a whole will suffer as Detroit has. That was his point. About an hour into his speech, Trump said if you elect Harris, you'll get more of the same: "Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president." The media ripped this 6 seconds and presented it in isolation. Misleading snippets. Ugly stuff. A true threat to democracy. What the press does not report: On Monday, before Trump's speech, ~2,500 Chrysler workers in Warren, Michigan were shown the door by their corporate masters, now headquartered in Europe. On Friday, after Trump's speech, ~2,000 Detroit Jeep workers we're put on extended "temporary" layoff. The press plays political games. And the corrupt politicians take them to lunch. They're running a hustle on us. I have attached the mayor of Detroit's tantrum tweet. Let's fact check him: + Detroit's crime data is heavily massaged to put it generously. Nevertheless, the Motor City remains rated as America's second most dangerous city. + Detroit's population would continue to be sinking if it weren't for the influx of illegal immigrants. + Detroit's tax revenues, when adjusted for inflation, are less than they were during the year of its historic bankruptcy. + Meanwhile, property taxes remain the highest of any major American city, and the schools among the worst. You are correct Mr. Mayor. You did that all by yourself.

If you want to live forever, then register to vote in Jocelyn Benson’s Michigan. Apparently, there are 16,666 people actively registered to vote who are over the age of 100 years old. That’s more than the population of Grosse Pointe Woods. The only problem is, the Social Security Administration shows there were only 2,119 centenarians alive in Michigan in 2023. Now, I only went to public schools, but even I know simple math. 16,666 ≠ 2,119 Secretary of State Benson is a trained lawyer. She likely chose that profession because she is bad with numbers, but good at twisting words. On the other hand, Elon Musk builds rocket ships because he’s good at math and science. Real science. Not political science. So for whatever reason, Benson pitched an online cat fight with Musk—and got her own numbers wrong. Earlier this week, Musk tweeted a simple question that can be answered with simple addition and subtraction: “Michigan has more registered voters than eligible citizens? Is that true?” he wrote. Benson fired back with customary histrionics: “Let’s be clear: Elon Musk is spreading dangerous disinformation. Here are the facts. There aren’t more voters than citizens in Michigan. There are 7.2 million active registered voters and 7.9 (million) citizens of voting age in our state. Musk is pushing a misleading number that includes 1.2 million inactive records slated for removal in accordance with the law. Don’t feed the trolls.” It is the trolling secretary who is, in fact, incorrect. Her mathematical errors are many. First, her own website shows the number of inactive voters slated to be removed from the qualified voters list is only 600,000, not 1.2 million, as she claims. Second, until they are removed, those “inactive” voters are still active by law, and at any rate, won’t be removed until after the election. Third, there are not 7.9 million citizens of voting age in the state of Michigan. There are 7.9 million adults, not all of whom are legally allowed to vote. Sheesh. It feels as though Benson considers herself the kaiser of the town square. Remember: She set up an election disinformation snitch line. She illegally instructed poll workers to disregard signature discrepancies. She attempted to ban firearms from polling stations. She tried to kick Dr. Cornell West off the ballot while keeping RFK Jr. on the ballot because this would ostensibly help Kamala Harris. National Democrats—with the help of Benson—kicked in a million dollars to get overseas citizens absentee ballots even if they’ve never lived in the U.S. Benson claims there are as many as 265,000 such persons living abroad. The online form for requesting and overseas absentee ballot is ludicrously simple. It requires no Social Security number, no valid state ID, no passport number, no next of kin. Just check the box swearing you are a citizen and she will email you a ballot. You then print the ballot, fill it in, and return it by snail mail. That’s it. Curious, I filled one out as Sirhan Sirhan, DOB: 3/19/1944. Current address: Buckingham Palace. Family’s last known Michigan address: the dumpster near Detroit City Hall. That’s it. The website prompted me to electronically sign and press send. I assume the King’s footmen would have received my ballot. I didn’t sign the affidavit. That would be illegal. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel may be an incompetent boob, but she is also famously vindictive. For her part, Benson has made voting more confusing than easy during her six years in office. The election season now runs from two weeks before Election Day to six days after. Processing and tabulating the absentee ballots is now a full 8 days, making the process rife for skullduggery. Of course it is illegal to illegally vote. But it’s also illegal to commit armed robbery, and people still do I’ll say it again: If you want to live forever, then register to vote in Michigan. But be warned: You may end up dying waiting for you vote to be counted.

A note from Detroit. A friend sent this. Couldn't have said it better: "Going viral today, Ford launching a 'From America, For America' campaign. As you know, Ford’s flagship electric vehicle, the Mustang Mach-E, is made in Mexico with, what, $2 an hour labor? Their best selling Maverick small pickup and Bronco Sport small SUV are also made in Mexico. And their Lincoln brand’s hottest selling SUV at the moment, the Lincoln Nautilus, is assembled in China. The corporate hubris is so stunning and shameless. Wrap themselves in faux Americana ad campaigns while gutting solid blue collar American jobs for decades, laying off thousands of American white collars and replacing them with cheaper foreign visa workers, and building up a position to essentially abandon the state of Michigan and leave all the brownfields and liabilities behind."

Clarence was a Korea Vet. Clarence died in a Michigan nursing home. They treated Clarence bad. They carted him around like a bad of soiled laundry. Nursing home to nursing home. He eventually died of Covid, spreading it along the way. Whitmer and Nessel still try hide the horror of what they did. I'm not gonna let them.
