Heading for Superior's north shore this week. We've driven the LS circle tour except for Duluth to Wawa Going to do it all finally. True Superior weather too.
Who's Sleepy?
This is not a picture of a healthy man.
yes
You know it's football season when the "punditry" starts beating up on the Lions. I don't watch American Football, but when I do, it's the Lions'. #OnePride #DetroitvsEverybody
This list is growing by leaps and bounds, and the scary thing... we can imitate DJT better than Miller or whoever wrote this.
The list keeps growing.
I would have succeeded the character count if I'd mentioned everything I found. The lack of THANK YOU FOR YOUR... was glaring. and he signed himself President DJT with no glowing adjectives. You are so right about "very". Let the error count continue!
This definitely isn't DJT. Here are my initial red pen English comments. Where is the exclamation marks!!!! And the BROKEN SENTENCES as well as the BAD GRAMMER (spelling too).His tag line is missing and though it tries to sound confused, isn't. Try Better, Voldemort.
My church diocese has begun acknowledging that it's on First American lands. This is better than no acknowledgement, but there are no programs for them, nor does its anti racism training (required for lay leadership) cover what was done to them by European Americans.
The best advice says this very retired teacher. And if you have to do a book report of your choice. Use one of those. After all, it's your choice. Don't forget to get a library card too.
Today started well. Fresh coffee, a happy dog, fog on the lake, and Ohio State beat Texas. I don't watch football, but it's Texas. Also, New Mexico got a boatload of cash for their athletic department against the team the NCAA won't punish. They played good ball, too. #GoLobos
I'm glad you're ok. It is so hard to care for your parents, but I learned from my experience that at times it was a blessing to be there. It is hard to see your parents like that.
I'm just a lowly former teacher of the Autistic, and I want to know where RFK got his psychology and biology degree. I have the psych degree and I could assess behavior disorders for programming. We never discussed mitochondria as a criteria. As Bugs Bunny would say, What a maroon!"
Ok, I get it. Just don't hit me. I'm nice and if I saw you on the road, I'd wave and say "Hi Moe".
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
My heart is breaking over his exile to wherever. Actually, not...ever. Stay in your many mansions and live on your millions.
Who's running against him?
Why Michigan? I ask only because on the one hand, you want to follow a lifetime Michigander (lived in both peninsulas) but you want to run me off the road. If it's driving quality, I've got a different set of plates, with Illinois and Indiana taking the top two spots.
They demand it.
Waiting for 47 to show up at Cracker Barrel and have a meal there. In fact he should bring RFK, Jr along. A good hearty meal of carbs, fats and salt. Maybe after that, he'll understand why many people don't eat there. It's not about the sign folks.
I'm well aware of that. I guess I will have to monitor myself as I don't think people here take jokes or fantasies well. Thanks for the legal lecture.
I offer MI 2nd CD as an example of Cody's comment. MIDems don't even offer to help candidates there.
That's a really good question. When I taught, one of my "colleagues" in the social studies department told his students without merit that I was a communist. I should be used to comments like that 20 years later, but I'm not.
Yes, sometimes, you just need a good fantasy
I know, Brian, it was just a wistful fantasy.
If you read my original comment, I referred to myself alone as having a card as a registered democrat, and if I could sue. This is not a pissing contest. No, I'm not going to do what you think I have the ability to do. I can't.
There are a lot of us with Dem party cards. We make up a nice group.
So if I understand Voldemort correctly George, I'm a registered dem. Can I sue his ass for defamation of character?
Says the man who knows SC is number 8 in the nation for crime.
And once more the "distinguished" congressman from SC refuses to acknowledge that South Carolina's crime rate is one of the highest in the nation. Ralph, South Carolina doesn't seem to have a plan to combat crime. You're number 8. www.safehome.org/safest-citie....
@Ali Velshi you need to have Sara Paretsky on Banned Book Club. She is this year's winner of the John Siegenthaler Award, given to an author who best champions the First Amendment. She's not just your basic PI author; she deals with themes such as Immigration, the Security State, and others. Please!
According to US News Monroe, LA has a higher violent crime rate than Detroit, MI (a city Trump throws out as needing to be taken over). Monroe is 64% white. Detroit is 77% African American.
My dad was in Tokyo Bay, August 15, 1945 observing the Japanese Surrender, which was negotiated after the Battle of Okinawa and the A Bomb drops of 8/6 & 8/9/45. JD, the Japanese surrendered the day after the Nagasaki bombing before there were negotiations for the formal surrender.
That was "runs", right?
Botched IV's are ugly, and the bruising doesn't go down for a while. I didn't hide mine. #voice of experience.
Sebastian Lund went through the FLETC course faster than the so called "running" very ex superman Cain
I'm not a physician or a nurse or a medical assistant, but I had a botched IV in May, because they couldn't find a vein (not their fault, it's my anatomy). Trump's hand sure looks like something went wrong, bigly.
I enjoy it when trump boys realize the Founding Fathers thought Free Speech was more important than having a gun.
August 31 is the deadline for public comment ijc.org/en/pwgl #GreatLakesLife
The ability to use your hand as a map to locate any place (in either peninsula) in Michigan.
@rbreich.bsky.social I taught special education and AP classes for 25 years, teaching 10 different classes a year with a $150 supply budget. It's going to be worse because more school districts will experience squeezed budgets, reduced state funding, and of course, the inept Dept of Education
Finland has a border that they has had tobe repeatedly reinforced because of Putin. Lithuania also has a border that Belarussian and Russian soldiers are sitting on. Trump turns over Ukraine (which he has no damn right to do). Watch for action in the Baltics
MSNBC goes into the future as a rebranded Versant channel once NBC's sale is complete.
I got to meet the original Cooper, who has been memorialized by Bowers Harbor Wine. Nothing helps you decide to buy wine better than a Bernese Mtn Dog staring beseechingly at you.
mmmm I see a fishing stamp in my future. Maybe a charter boat..
Not taking those odds. He's going to be a bully to everyone there, then privately beg them to give him the Nobel Peace Prize so he can be, in his own eyes, as good as Obama.
This Sunday at Grace in Action Church. Este domingo en la iglesia Grace in Action en Detroit
He's adamant about taking control over items like programing, I see a Trump controlled NSO season featuring no soloists, except "hot"females. No conductors who aren't true Americans, goodby Gianandrea Noseda. And only top 40 classical hits by 18th and 19th white males. No union either.
Prosecutor, State Attorney General, Senator, Vice President, and all around decent caring person.
If you're in Detroit this Saturday. Come to Mexicantown. Enjoy the party. Si estás en Detroit este sábado, ven a Mexicantown y disfruta de la fiesta.
Same here. woke to blue sky then the same. Sun is trying to be visible.Better than the other day when it was clear then fog rolled in and I couldn't see anything.
What's with the bromance between Jennings and Isaac in the TOC this week? He's gotten a lot of breaks this week, especially tonight.
I'm thinking right now about every Trump voting republican farmer in lower Michigan who turned their fields over to wind and solar farms.

If we have to live with Judge Jeannie in the DOJ, it's time for SNL to bring back Cecily Strong.
Good afternoon, here is your air quality map for today. If you're in Michigan, you're screwed. Someone told me they had blue sky. What's that, we ask?
Please come to Michigan's 2nd CD. John Moolenaar hasn't had a town hall since being elected the first time. He throws out lies such as "People who come to my office hours (run by staff) to scare them. They threaten violence. I won't stand for it", so of course he won't show. #Wedeservebetter
My only complaint about that episode is that Corey Lewandowski was nowhere to be seen.
It happened again
Jeannetta Grace, I certainly hope we see more of her
Big Rapids had an unlimited number of shops, and it's been sad to see the number of empty storefronts that were once selling.

I know more than a few farmers, like my cousins, who would like to get more deer off their property. My insurance agent told me that.
@marcelias.bsky.social doesn't want me to post this. Ope, there it is!
The deer were bold today.
@upbeachbum.bsky.social Bests on the first snow in God's True Country?
Dystopian is right. Microcrap tells me I have sunny skies and 14 miles visibility. The view outside my door says heavy fog, maybe 60 degrees and I can't see the 1.5 miles across to the other side. The deer will be out on my drive to the doctor in Collegetown today. #OhDeer #lifeinthe231today
Wonder if they're going to go after those of us who left Twitter when Muskrat bought it?
This is so on point for Duvall, but isn't his birthday in January?
We always suspected this, but now here's the proof. Gretchen Whitmer would rather put a DTE stooge on the MPSC board than continue to push for lower DTE bills and better service for its customers. Thanks for nuthin "Big Gretch" @DirtyMichigan www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I spent the day on the road; the goal was to get to Birch Run, home of the outlet mall. The AQ was 90 & I breathed in fine particulate 🤢. Birch Run is a freaking Zoo. Wouldn't have gone there for anything but to pick up the grandpup for a few days.
Likewise, there's been no word on the Gestapo raids in Oceana, Mason, Manistee and GT counties. Know they're happening and everyone is most likely being sent to Baldwin.
Follow the money...
Agree. But Lee Zeldin says we don' need no stinkin' clean air and 47 says there's no reason to give Canada any type of help. Most of the windstorms we've had have been NW. Straight from Saskatchewan/Manitoba/Ontario. The sky right now is gray, with the sun shining as bright as it can.

Midway down Lake Michigan, we had haze all day. The really thick stuff. It's going to be like that today. Too bad we can't talk about climate change.
This is moving. Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through. What could have been…
I've lived in Michigan for 71 years. According to the local, county, and state budgets I've read for years, LEO's are doing fine, especially now they're tapping into Federal Funds to work with the Federals. They're definitely well funded.
Nothing is finer than enjoying a discussion about which is the best Michigan Potato Chip and the unparalleled joy of Sanders Bumpy Cake. Returning to kvetch about and solve the world's problems.
Downey's or Better Made? Downey's says Waterford on their label. Better Made says Day twah. Sanders is a part of Kar's Nuts, made in Madison Heights. Kar's is still the official peanut of the Tigers.
We had New Era in the brown and white can at our house. I do remember Paramount, but not in the can.
Me too. I think that will be put on the shopping list for Meijers tomorrow.
Bumpy Cake is wonderful. I'm not sure where it's served, but, you can pick it up in any Meijer. Best with a pint of Michigan made ice cream. Hudsonville is sold at Meijer for convenience. Moomer's in TC is much better.
I should have said Downey's, made in Waterford. The bag is similar to Great Lakes. And it's Better Made (formerly called Made Rite). You can always pick up a bag of Uncle Ray's, too. We like our chips. For a true Michigan treat, Sanders Bumpy Cake. You've started my shopping list for the week
I should have mentioned that except for a short stint in Wisconsin, I have lived in Michigan since being born at Henry Ford many years ago.
Sorry you feel that way about the Mitten. Your comment could be made for every other state. Having lived in both peninsulas, and now a returning resident to Detroit, I'll say things aren't perfect, but no state is.
That's a bag of Great Lakes Chips in your photo, the pride of Traverse City. Next trip to the Mitten, you need to bring back Made Rite chips and snacks, made in Detroit for over 100 years.
Oh, I wonder what Coach Tupperware got for that?
My first smile today. I didn't intend to misspell. Guess we'll call it a Freudian slide into third base.😄
You always want to start your day with this read. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
We knew this in the 80s when she was doing her "Eagle Forum" stuff. Along with Nancy Regan, she's the role model for every rebublican woman who wants power.
This has made my morning and makes me miss da Yoop so much.
