HOW MAGA PLANS TO STEAL NOVEMBER
A little reported but very consequential summit meeting occurred on February 19 in Washington DC. Participants were 30 of the most prominent 2020 election deniers, including Michael Flynn, Cleta Mitchell, and Kari Lake. Also in attendance were several current Trump administration officials whose responsibilities concern voting.
What consensus did they reach? That President Trump should declare a national emergency and take over voting nation wide with an executive order. They seek to ban voting by mail, as well as election tabulators.
Nevermind that there is no language in the Constitution that would allow a president any say in the voting process. Nevermind that there is no national emergency (although rumor has it that they’ve manufactured one by claiming China interfered in the 2020 election). They think that declaring an emergency will magically confer on Trump powers that he does not possess.
From the article, which originally appeared in Pro Publica: “The meeting shows that the same people who tried to overturn the 2020 election have only grown better organized and are now embedded in the machinery of government,” said Brendan Fischer, a director at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan pro-democracy organization. “This creates substantial risk that the administration is laying the groundwork to improperly reshape elections ahead of the midterms or even go against the will of the voters.”

THE WAR ON FRAUD
In his State of the Union speech Tuesday, President Donald Trump stated that he was declaring a “war on fraud”, and laid blame for this on “Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota” . He claimed an amount of 19 billion dollars and said he was assigning the “war” to the supervision of Vice President JD Vance.
Vice President Vance announced Wednesday that the regime was going to withhold 259 million dollars in Medicaid funding from Minnesota, with the stated purpose to “turn the screws”on the Democratic led state. Trump himself, posted on his Truth Social platform Thursday to “FEAR NOT” because “THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!” The pain this will cause to poor Minnesotans is enormous
Now, for some facts. Yes, there has been fraud in the welfare programs in Minnesota, estimated at as much as 300 million dollars. The scheme was first uncovered in 2022, under the Biden administration, and some 80 people have already been prosecuted for it. Many people of Somali ethnicity were involved, but the ring leader was a white woman, Aimee Bock, who was convicted last March.
Since the scheme has been uncovered (by the prior administration), and prosecutions have already taken place,what is the point of this? It just might be the “retribution” our dear president spoke of. You see, Minnesotans staged one of the most effective non violent protests in our history when ICE invaded Minneapolis. During this debacle, government agents murdered 2 US citizens in cold blood and kidnapped a 5 year old in a bunny ear hat and sent him to a concentration camp in Texas. Ultimately, in the face of enormous protests, including a general strike, ICE was forced to withdraw without the martial law declaration many on the right desperately hoped for.
As for our Vice President, if he is serious about the “war on fraud”, there is a much easier person to target. This person has already been adjudicated as being responsible for running a fraudulent university, and a fraudulent children’s cancer charity - this person is no longer able to operate or sit on the board of charities in the state of New York. Further, this person was recently adjudicated by New York as responsible for business fraud amounting to over half a billion dollars (amount reduced on appeal), for which this person’s CFO had to spend time in jail. And finally, this person was convicted of 34 felonies for election fraud. Vice President Vance needs to look no further than the White House to find him.

THE NEXT SURGEON GENERAL?
Meet Dr. Casey Means. She is a 38 year old mom, best selling author, wellness influencer, Stanford Medical grad, and co founder of a health tech company. She is a major figure in RFK Jr’s MAHA movement. She is also Donald Trump’s second pick (his first one was withdrawn) for surgeon general.
Except…she let her medical license lapse, and has no intention of renewing it. Usually, the surgeon general is an actual, clinical physician.
Is she the person you would want as the US physician in chief? Go to the article and decide for yourself.

“SEDITIOUS SIX” SAFE - FOR NOW
US Attorney for Washington DC (and former Fox “News” talking head) Jeanine Pirro has decided to drop her attempt to indict the six Democrats who made the now infamous “Don’t Give Up the Ship” video last November. The “Seditious Six” are all military or intelligence veterans, and the video was to remind government employees that they have a duty to refuse illegal orders.
About 2 weeks ago, a DC grand jury unanimously voted against indicting the six. Let’s state that again: a panel of anywhere from 16 to 23 American citizens were asked by Pirro to indict the legislators, and not a single one agreed to do so. This is so rare that our research indicates it may have never happened before. This means that none of them were convinced that the government even met the low standard of probable cause.
Keep in mind, the President of the United States said this was a crime “punishable by death”, but a panel of American citizens said there was no crime at all. And that’s as good an illustration as any as to the state of our union.

TRUMP SENDING HOSPITAL SHIP TO GREENLAND
President Donald Trump said yesterday that he was sending a hospital ship to Greenland. “Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there.” said Trump.
It should be noted that Greenland has 6 hospitals (including a central 130 bed facility) to serve a population of around 50 thousand. Citizens of Greenland have free healthcare (including prescriptions) cradle to grave. Any healthcare situation not manageable by the local system gets the citizen transported to Denmark for specialized care. By any objective measure, it is a system far superior to that in the United States.
Denmark, for it’s part, said Greenland does not need medical assistance from other countries.
Given Trump’s prior saber rattling and threats toward Greenland, one cannot blame them for being suspicious. Greenland’s Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said his country had never before felt threatened in such a way. It would seem that the only reason for this move would be to prepare for a mass casualty event.
Stay tuned.

SUPREME COURT RULES TRUMP TARIFFS ILLEGAL
In a 6-3 ruling on Friday, the US Supreme Court has struck down some 60 to 70% of the tariffs levied by President Donald Trump. Others remain in place; only tariffs based on IEEPA were declared illegal.
IEEPA is a law passed back in the 70s. It does not mention “tariffs” specifically, but it gives the president the power to “regulate” imports and exports when he deems there is an emergency due to an “unusual and extraordinary” threat to the nation.
Of course, there is no emergency, or threat to the nation, but Trump declared one so he could try to pry the power to tariff away from Congress.
Trump got the bad news as he was hosting the national Governor’s Breakfast, and became so enraged that he cut it short and left. He is still insisting that the power to tariff is his, despite the land’s highest court ruling against him. We’ll have to keep a close eye on this situation, because it can have enormous impact on our republic.
The 3 dissenting justices were Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE FACE OF US JUSTICE
That became the literal truth today, when a huge banner featuring Trump’s face was hung on the exterior of the headquarters of the Department of Justice.
This raw display of Trump’s subjugation of American justice should surprise nobody. After all, this is the DOJ that has tried and failed to indict Leticia James, James Comey, and the “seditious six”. Adam Schiff and Jerome Powell are “under investigation”. Just yesterday, the DOJ admitted that it had violated federal court orders over 50 times in the past 10 weeks.
The old saying goes, the fish rots from the head. The Department of Justice seems now to have the same disdain for the law as their boss.

U.P. lawmakers rescind support for Bergman following LaFave endorsement
LANSING — On Tuesday, state Sen. Ed McBroom and Upper Peninsula state representatives Greg Markkanen and Karl Bohnak rescinded their endorsement of U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman after he released an endorsement of Beau LaFave in the 38th Senate district race and he and his staff began personally attacking the current Upper Peninsula team of state lawmakers.
In a press release from McBroom’s office, the 38th Senate seat is currently held McBroom but he’s term-limited and cannot seek re-election. McBroom was last elected in 2022 with 63 percent of the vote. All five of the lawmakers involved are Republicans.
In the press release, McBroom and the others did not mix words as far as Bergman’s endorsement of LaFave was concerned.
“Jack promised me he would not be endorsing in this race. I wish I could say I’m surprised that he lied to me or that this is out of character for my time working with Jack, but it’s not,” McBroom said in a news release. “I’ve seen him be disloyal to local party members, interfere in races outside his district, stab fellow Republicans in the back and even publicly attack me. Those were internal party matters. This time is different. This time, he straight up lied to me. Now he’s siding against the clear, best option for the U.P. I will not stand by silently while he undermines the work we have done for the U.P.
“Even more disturbing is that Beau just hired Jack’s chief-of-staff’s consulting services. Jack has a clear history of automatically endorsing Tony’s clients, helping his own employee’s personal business,” said McBroom.” Regardless, I will not be voting for Jack again. He said he wanted our endorsements last summer but it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t want them now.”

KELLY MULLS PRESIDENTIAL RUN
Senator Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) is considering a bid to become President of the United States. Kelly, 61, has been a combat fighter pilot and astronaut. He retired from the Navy with the rank of Captain. Kelly is also married to Gabby Giffords, a former Congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt in 2011.
Senator Kelly has been a main target of the Trump regime since recording a video, along with 5 other Democrats with military or intelligence backgrounds, reminding military personnel of their duty to refuse illegal orders. Unlike the others, Kelly has a full military retirement at rank. Trump’s henchman Hegseth is doing his best to reduce both Kelly’s rank and compensation.

IS THE PRESIDENT A RACIST?
A recent post by President Trump to his Truth Social page is getting a lot of pushback.
Late Thursday night, as he often does, Trump posted an election conspiracy video to his Truth Social platform. The video was a little over a minute long and, near the end of it, Barack and Michelle Obama can be clearly seen depicted as apes.
The condemnation was loud and swift. Which, of course, caused the White House to double down, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling it “fake outrage”.
And then Tim Scott (R, S. Carolina), one of Trump’s most vocal supporters and the only black Republican in the Senate said this: “praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” Scott also called for the removal of the post.
That seemed to do the trick and, after 12 hours, the post was taken down.
Trump is now blaming an aide for the post, despite his past assertion that only he and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account. Despite calls from many quarters to apologize, Trump is refusing to do so, saying “I didn’t make a mistake”.

TRUMP WANTS ELECTIONS “NATIONALIZED”
President Donald Trump, in a Monday interview on the podcast of his former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, said Republicans should “take over” voting in 15 places.
"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over,'" Trump said. "We should take over the voting ... in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they're counting votes."
The US Constitution is clear in it’s mandate that individual states run voting, subject to certain rules approved by Congress.
The President’s comments come just days after the FBI confiscated 2020 voting data from Fulton County, Georgia, the scene of one of Trump’s most blatant efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

THE EXECUTION OF ALEX PRETTI
Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU nurse who worked at the Veterans Hospital in Minneapolis. By all accounts, he was a nice guy who loved the outdoors. He had no contacts with law enforcement, other than a few traffic tickets. He also was licensed to carry concealed firearms.
Yesterday morning he was gunned down on the streets of Minneapolis by federal agents identified as Customs and Border Patrol.
CPB Chief Greg Bovino said Alex was armed and aggressively resisting arrest. He also claimed that Alex was planning a mass murder of federal agents. He said his agents “fired defensively”.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem called Alex a domestic terrorist.
President Trump just blamed the governor of Minnesota and mayor of Minneapolis.
But we have video. Lots of it. And it shows something completely different than our government is telling us.
The video shows Alex taking video of an ICE operation, and he’s not the only one. At one point, a federal agent near Alex pepper sprays a woman and shoves her to the ground. Alex goes to assist the woman, and is himself sprayed. He is then tackled by several agents, eventually totaling 6, who beat him viciously. At no point does Alex make any effort to reach for his legal pistol, which is in a holster on his right hip. An agent sees the pistol, snatches it, and yells “gun”.
What happens after that is a massacre.
Agents pump no less than 10 rounds into the now unarmed Alex Pretti, who never reached for his weapon. The first shots are clearly from behind him. No attention was paid to him for at least 15 minutes, and then it was for agents to rifle his pockets.
This is so bad that a judge has actually ordered the Trump administration not to destroy or alter evidence relevant to the case.

BLAMING THE VICTIM
By now, you know her name was Renee Good, and that she was a 37 year old single mom in Minneapolis. She was also a citizen, meaning the ICE agents who murdered her had absolutely no jurisdiction to detain her or order her out of her vehicle. But that’s what they attempted to do, before firing the 3 shots that killed her.
There is a lot of back and forth over this. There is also a LOT of video, which seems to indicate clearly that the ICE agent murdered her in cold blood.
What does our leadership say about this?
President Trump said the ICE agent was “viciously run over”. The videos make pretty clear that is untrue.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem labeled Good a “domestic terrorist”, and said the ICE was justified in killing her. She is also behind the curious idea that Minnesota law enforcement agencies have “no jurisdiction” in their own state.
Veep JD Vance called it an “attack on federal law enforcement” and said that Good had been “radicalized” by leftists. He also called the shooting justified and said, basically, that Good’s death was her own fault - a “tragedy of her own making”. Vance also claimed that the ICE agent had “absolute immunity”, a concept familiar only to totalitarian states.
Meanwhile, after initially cooperating with Minnesota law enforcement, the DOJ abruptly reversed course and is no longer doing so. Astute readers may come to the conclusion that it’s because of the opinions already expressed by the “leadership”. Minnesota can, indeed, prosecute the shooter, but they would need a thorough investigation, almost impossible with the DOJ’s obstruction.
Meanwhile, protests that started in Minneapolis are rapidly expanding to cities across the country.

DOJ REMOVES STUDY ON FAR RIGHT VIOLENCE
The US Department of Justice has quietly removed from it’s web site a study that concludes the far right is responsible for the lion’s share of domestic terrorism.
The study found that, since 1990, the far right has committed 87% of the murders ascribed to an ideological motive. The study was conducted by the National Institute of Justice.

RIGGING THE 2026 ELECTION
President Donald Trump vowed Monday to end all mail in voting and get rid of voting machines.
Mail in voting is used by 1/3 of all Americans and vote tabulators are in use in nearly every voting precinct.
The US constitution gives no authority to the president to regulate voting. Those functions are left to individual states.
To justify his dictatorial comments, Trump claimed states “are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes” and must do what the federal government “as represented by the President of the United States” tells them to do.

TRUMPSTEIN - THE MONSTER THAT WILL NOT DIE
Like the antagonist in Mary Shelley’s classic novel, the Epstein Affair created by MAGA seems destined to pursue Republicans and Donald Trump to the ends of the earth. As of July 29, a whopping 79% of Americans want all of the Epstein files released.
It would be difficult, these days, to find a topic on which more Americans agree. The reason is simple - Epstein was the worst child sex trafficker of this era. His services, however, were not cheap. Many very wealthy people paid him to have sex with children, a crime as great as those of Epstein himself. Everyone wants to know who those people were.
Epstein’s assistant in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted and is serving a 20 year sentence. She was recently interviewed by the Deputy Attorney General himself, an unprecedented event despite the President’s assertion that it was “not unusual and totally above board”. Maxwell must have told the Deputy AG what he wanted to hear, because she was transferred to a minimum security facility days later, in another highly unusual move. Trump, meanwhile, denied any knowledge of Maxwell’s transfer, a laughable claim for a control freak who has made the DOJ his private law firm.
Every attempt at deflection, and they are coming in bunches every day, only adds fuel to the fire. It’s so bad that a strategy meeting was scheduled at VP Vance’s house to discuss how to make Epstein go away. This meeting was cancelled when the press got wind of it, and Vance denied it was happening, but not really - it was moved to the White House itself.
It’s not going away. Perhaps it’s because of all those photos of Trump and Epstein, or perhaps it’s because of all the nice things Trump said about him.

RCSO SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH ICE
On June 5, 2025, the Roscommon County Sheriffs Office became only the 5th law enforcement agency in Michigan to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The RCSO entered this agreement under the “Task Force Model”.
Among the things detailed in this agreement is the idea that citizens can be questioned and detained for the mere suspicion that they are “illegal aliens”. It also makes clear that, except for training and some IT services, Roscommon County is on the hook for ANY expenses associated with this agreement.
As of this article, there are now 6 Michigan LEAs (out of hundreds) that have signed these agreements with ICE.
Roscommon County’s economy is based on tourism. We have no agriculture to speak of. We have not, in the past, had a large “Illegal alien” problem. What is the point of this agreement? We have been provided with no evidence that the benefits outweigh the cost.
