Jeff Sakwa, former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, has had it up to here with current party co-chair Meshawn Maddock and her foul-mouth diatribes against anyone who is not a hardcore MAGA Republican. What finally prompted Sakwa to publicly speak out was Maddock’s homophobic attack on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who is a gay former officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve and served overseas, as a “weak little girl.” “As the former co-chair of the Michigan GOP

Continuing in the “You did what??” category is Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Shane Hernandez, who proudly sent out a tweet standing with different people while at the Port Austin farmers market. Prominent in one photo, Hernandez, a former state lawmaker, is standing with a man with the flag for the Three Percenters movement behind them. For those who may not hang with militia folk, Three Percenters are part of the militia movement – which according to the Anti-Defa

Word is, some congressional Democrats are not ponying up to support each other. According to Punchbowl News, during a recent closed-door meeting of House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi took many to task because she’s been hearing from Dem donors who have been questioning why more House Democrats don’t donate to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which works to elect Democrats to the House. “Put more bluntly, Pelosi was complaining about her Democratic co

Now comes documents and revelations that seem to confirm that, along with the news that a year ago, on September 2, 2021, she was arrested at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island for allegedly assaulting her then-boyfriend (and possibly reconciled flame) Ted

Lena Epstein is not the only November candidate with dirty laundry being aired from their divorce filings. Now comes Republican Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo, whose Florida ex-husband has raised personal details from the candidate’s past in his filing to have his visitation schedule with his daughters changed. The story was first broken by the left of center – but highly factual – Business Insider. We took our own look at the filings in the Family Division of t

With just about a month left before the final votes come in on the balance of power in the Michigan legislature, prognosticators are projecting that one or both chambers in Lansing could change hands. Republicans hold 22 of the seats in the Senate, while the Democrats have 16. Over in the House, the Republican party has a three-seat advantage over Democrats, 56-53, with one vacancy. The GOP has held the Senate majority since 1984 and the House since 2011. But all that could c

As state Rep. Mari Manoogian (D-Birmingham, Bloomfield Township, Bloomfield Hills) enters the final few months of her second term in Lansing, her future seems to be fair game for speculation among members of both political parties following her decision this past spring to not seek a third term in the House. When she first was elected to the 40th district House seat in 2018, she was considered one of the potential rising stars in the party. Prior to entering the halls of the
