Trillion$$ of the porkiest-pork to insider comrades!-----Michigan House committee approves $120M more for Ford Marshall site - By James David Dickson

Michigan House committee approves $120M more for Ford Marshall site - By James David Dickson

"The Michigan House Appropriations Committee approved Tuesday a $120.3 million legislative transfer toward preparations for Ford Motor Company’s upcoming plant in Marshall, BlueOval Battery Park.
A local group, the Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance, will be granted the funds if the Senate Appropriations Committee grants its approval.
The request for Legislative Transfer 2023-4 explains how the funds would be used:

This state investment would support land acquisition, site preparation, water and wastewater upgrades, and other necessary public infrastructure improvements at the strategic Marshall mega-site, where the Ford Motor Company’s new electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing facility, BlueOval Battery Park, is proposed to be located.

As The Detroit News reports, “Ford's total incentives for the $3.5 billion project amount to about $1.6 billion in state and local taxpayer aid once local and state tax incentives are taken into consideration.”

...Last year, Michigan lawmakers approved 

• $100 million for Ford to hire 3,030 factory workers. 
• Two months later, Ford laid off 3,000 white-collar and contract workers...

How I Will Use Michigan’s New Law That Criminalizes Making Hersterical Women And Effeminate Men Feel Bad

How I Will Use Michigan’s New Law That Criminalizes Making Hersterical Women And Effeminate Men Feel Bad - BY BRIGGS

"...Here’s the meat of the law:

The language about “feelings” is found in the legislation’s defining of “intimidation” as being the “willful course of conduct, involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.”

There you go.

• Give a woman bad feelz and you’re a criminal.
• Express disgust over men running around in public waving their pertinents at passersby and you are guilty of threatening the LGBTQWERTY++ “community.”...

Anheuser-Busch CEO refuses to say if he'd allow Bud Light's disastrous Dylan Mulvaney promo in hindsight | Fox News

Anheuser-Busch CEO refuses to say if he'd allow Bud Light's disastrous Dylan Mulvaney promo in hindsight | Fox News: 

Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth declined to say if he would allow Bud Light’s disastrous promotion with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to happen again, in hindsight, despite ongoing backlash. 

Bud Light sales have plummeted since the beermaker gifted Mulvaney special cans in April to celebrate a full year of "girlhood," which the influencer quickly claimed were her "most prized possession" on Instagram with a post that featured "#budlightpartner." A second video then featured Mulvaney in a bathtub drinking a Bud Light beer as part of the campaign — and the company has been mocked and boycotted ever since. 

The brilliant man "brings the fire"!-----Clarence Thomas' Concurring Opinion on Affirmative Action Is Incredible

Clarence Thomas' Concurring Opinion on Affirmative Action Is Incredible - Spencer Brown

• "Even though Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas joined Chief Justice Roberts in the majority opinion finding that using a student's race in college admission decision violated the 14th Amendment, Thomas also filed a concurring opinion explaining more of his thinking on the matter.

"In his usual style, Justice Thomas traces the history of the United States and its citizens' ongoing efforts to pursue a more perfect union — efforts that haven't always been smooth and have, at points, failed to move the country forward. 

Still, Thomas shares his optimism that America will continue to become a better place, all while excoriating the left's "equity" agenda...
Thomas also refuses to hold back on his fellow justices' flawed views of affirmative action and mistaken interpretation of the Constitution in his opinion. 

In evaluating the argument made in a dissenting opinion filed by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Thomas brings the fire:

Justice Jackson uses her broad observations about statistical relationships between race and select measures of health, wealth, and well-being to label all blacks as victims. Her desire to do so is unfathomable to me. I cannot deny the great accomplishments of black Americans, including those who succeeded despite long odds.

Nor do Justice Jackson's statistics regarding a correlation between levels of health, wealth, and well-being between selected racial groups prove anything. Of course, none of those statistics are capable of drawing a direct causal link between race—rather than socioeconomic status or any other factor—and individual outcomes. So Justice Jackson supplies the link herself: the legacy of slavery and the nature of inherited wealth. This, she claims, locks blacks into a seemingly perpetual inferior caste. Such a view is irrational; it is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to young minds seeking to push through barriers, rather than consign themselves to permanent victimhood.

"Justice Jackson’s race-infused world view falls flat at each step," Thomas declares. "Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments. What matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them," he notes. "And their race is not to blame for everything—good or bad—that happens in their lives. A contrary, myopic world view based on individuals’ skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism," Thomas adds.

Clocking in at 58 pages, Justice Thomas' concurring opinion (beginning at page 49 here) ends with a straightforward three-paragraph conclusion:


The great failure of this country was slavery and its progeny. And, the tragic failure of this Court was its misinterpretation of the Reconstruction Amendments, as Justice Harlan predicted in Plessy. We should not repeat this mistake merely because we think, as our predecessors thought, that the present arrangements are superior to the Constitution.

The Court’s opinion rightly makes clear that Grutter is, for all intents and purposes, overruled. And, it sees the universities’ admissions policies for what they are: rudderless, race-based preferences designed to ensure a particular racial mix in their entering classes. Those policies fly in the face of our colorblind Constitution and our Nation’s equality ideal. In short, they are plainly—and boldly—unconstitutional. See Brown II, 349 U. S., at 298 (noting that the Brown case one year earlier had “declare[d] the fundamental principle that racial discrimination in public education is unconstitutional”).

While I am painfully aware of the social and economic ravages which have befallen my race and all who suffer discrimination, I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law.

Shapley, a 14-year veteran of the agency, has come forward with accusations that prosecutors put an investigation into Hunter Biden's finances "on the back burner" as the 2020 election approached.

Shapley said he was in a meeting last fall when Weiss admitted he was not calling the shots.

The Indoctrination of the American Mind | The Free Press - By Eric Kaufmann

"If you read The Free Press, you know that over the last decade, an illiberal ideology that goes by various names—Critical Race Theory; Critical Social Justice—has transformed key institutions of American life. 

It is remaking the law, Hollywood, medicine, higher education, psychology, and more.
No area, however, is more important than our schools, which shape the minds of future citizens. And across the country, teachers are now engaged in the wholesale indoctrination of their pupils.

• The Evanston–Skokie School District teaches K–3 students to “break the binary” of gender. 
• Seattle Public Schools tell teachers that the education system is guilty of “spirit murder” against black children, while a Cupertino, California elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” 
• In Portland, K–5 students are taught to subvert the sexuality of “white colonizers” and explore the “infinite gender spectrum.” And thousands of similar examples, perhaps in your own community...
