THANK YOU DETROIT!

For being the FIREWALL of RESISTANCE for MICHIGAN. We OWE YOU BIG TIME.

#StraightFACTS

*Detroit lost more souls with COVID than ANY OTHER CITY in Michigan. They Became The FIREWALL OF RESISTANCE.

*Detroit lost one sitting State Representative and a former State Senator to COVID. They Became The FIREWALL OF RESISTANCE.

*Detroit has experienced "Emergency Management", a "Bankruptcy", a former Mayor going to Prison, Gentrification, losing THEIR Schools to the State, Gaining them BACK with a Strong Superintendent (Thanks Dr. V) , being "Tweeted About" a Racist in the WHITE HOUSE - and other REAL LIFE STRUGGLES - but instead of GIVING UP - they KEPT FIGHTING. They Became The FIREWALL OF RESISTANCE.

We in MICHIGAN OWE YOU BIG TIME! Thank You DETROIT!!!!

is a huge Kiss fan. I finally got to see them going with him to the reunion tour show at Spokane, WA. That was really cool. The only Kiss I ever listen to is Kiss Alive. Hard to beat that one for just good hard rock from that era.

... I'm not so much of a "music" person, never have been, but if a song catches me up, I'm sucked in and I'll sing it forever. "I Want to Rock & Roll All Night" got me while I was working at a record store - we'd play it (and Fleetwood Mac "Rumors&quot all day long and I did air guitar to it while taking care of customers.

I went to that concert because their rep. came to the store that week and I was lucky to get free tickets. Had a great time!

Trump was up by 120k and we needed a miracle and got it ... netted 140k that gave us a 20k lead at that point.

The Dem base is heavily metro-centric, and the party should realize this and focus more growing and turning out that base. Even when we win in the heartland (such as in Nebraska-2) it is because of this (Omaha).
