The old saying, “What happens if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it?” could apply to the pseudo controversy Fox News has stirred


SAY WHAT? — PART I
We’re pretty sure we heard state House Rep. Christine Greig (D-Farmington, Farmington Hills), who is also the House Minority Leader, audibly gasp. Greig is term-limited this election go-round, in which three Democrats who served together on the city council fought to represent their party to fill her seat, with Samantha Steckloff the primary victor. Her general election opponent, Republican Mitch Swoboda, just made an uphill battle even tougher for himself in the traditionall
SAY WHAT? — PART II
How soon some Republicans forget. Birmingham, which until 2018 was considered a Republican stronghold, was recently upbraided and dismissed


HERE COMES THE JUDGE
Bloomfield Township trustee candidate Don Valente is running because he really, really, really doesn’t like current township supervisor Leo Savoie – which he makes clear at just about every single board meeting, where he rants about what he considers Savoie’s poor leadership.

COURTING FAVORS
Despite a new television ad touting that he is “his own man” who can’t be “bought,” Republican Senate candidate John James of Farmington Hills has been spending time currying favors – in the form of big dollars – with a variety of questionable folk. We all know he’s into the DeVos family for $1 million. Word has come that new postmaster general Louis DeJoy has donated to James’ campaigns this year and in 2018, making it rather difficult for James to criticize any of the post
WHEN YOU’RE ON TOP
Unlike in 2018, when Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (D-Rochester, Rochester Hills, northern Oakland, parts of Livingston and Ingham counties) was the underdog in her fight to flip this traditionally Republican district, this go-round Slotkin is the incumbent, with cash-on-hand (as of July 15) approaching $5 million, and a bulls-eye on her back to go with it. Her Republican opponent, Paul Junge, of Brighton, has only raised a tenth of what she has, but he’s determined to fight f
