'Parental rights' signs in schools
Michigan schools must prominently display portions of the state Constitution and law under a bill that goes into effect in March sponsored by state Rep. Annette Glenn, R-Midland.
The first of two sections that need to be posted says:
"Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged."
The quotes need to be displayed in rooms where the local and state school boards meet, the office of the principal or school leader and every building operated by the Michigan Department of Education.

I call BULL@#$%
Religion is NOT necessary to good government or the happiness of mankind.
Biden has pledged not to raise taxes on incomes below $400,000
Biden has pledged not to raise taxes on incomes below $400,000, say it again………………..Biden has pledged not to raise taxes on incomes below $400,000
Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster, said framing new taxes on the rich and business as making them pay their “fair share,” a phrase Biden used in his speech, appeals especially well with voters.
She noted that progressive political groups ran advertising to counter Republican attacks that Biden would raise taxes, typically by highlighting his $400,000 pledge.
Biden's capital gains tax increase would only take effect for people who make more than $1 million per year in total income.
The Biden tax plan reflects the prevailing progressive view on how inequality is driven: The ultra-rich are invested in the stock market, which rises faster than workers' salaries, the profits made off the market are subject to lower taxes than the rate on wages, and many of those gains are never taxed at all because their children inherit their stocks and the prices reset.
As Biden put it in his speech: “We’re going to reward work, not just wealth.”
Rush is....................GONE
I think, hope, the extinquished voice of rush Limbaugh may be as important as the loss of the bully pulpit to the twice impeached one term recent commander in chief, in the upcoming elections.
Manchin's Committee assignments
Why can’t Mr. Schumer, in the interest of the Democratic party platform and nation’s goals, let Mr. Manchin know that Committee assignments can be changed if Mr. Manchin doesn’t grasp the importance of solidarity among Democrats?
I Prefer the carrot to the stick but this is a critical moment in our history.
Any other perks available to Schumer?
Senator Manchin currently serves as the Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and also serves on the Senate Committee on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Armed Services, and the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs - four critical committees. https://www.manchin.senate.gov/about

Does anyone know just what actions members of the Jan 6 mob make them subject to a fine, arrest and or prosecution? Does a mob participant have to have
climbed the capital steps,
disobeying/refusing lawful orders
enter the capital bldg.
deface/destroy something
been carrying a weapon
rifle through a members desk
steal something from the bldg
(be seen on some video) attacking an officer
(be seen/heard on some video) stating threats
Am I wrong for thinking that just climbing the steps should make a person subject to prosecution for at least disobeying a Federal restricted area and subject to a fine. I’d like to see them added to the “no fly list” also.
Not a good idea, IMO
9. We've decide to vote in person.
However, we applied for a mail in ballot and officials are recommending to wait until
That ballot arrives before choosing to vote in person. Apparently, it’s causing some difficulty at the early voting sites. We are in Chicago.
That sounds suspiciously like the advice Trump conservatives are promoting. The officials recommending this approach are creating a sham basis for questioning whether or not you are voting twice. In Michigan there are procedures for insuring one vote only in this scenario but what you describe creates more problems than it solves.
What can possibly go wrong?
The impeached Dunning Kruger speciman has certainly never heard of nor would he understand, Frankie Kelsey who saved this country from the thousands of deaths and deformities experienced by the rest of the world being prescribed thalidomide as a treatment for pregnant women.

Cord cutting
Like poster #2, I’m on Spectrum. We’ve recently paid $170.00 for Internet and more TV channels than we watched, no premiums like HBO etc.
Here in west Michigan Spectrum has offered a TV Choice plan, $35.00 mo. Choose ten channels plus they add local (ABC, CBS, NBC PBS &Fox). Plan requires either a ROKU, a recent model Samsung smart TV, Apple TV or an Xbox 1.
We had two boxes we’re returning, $7.99 ea mo. Wife loves Hallmark channels, we both like MSNBC, they’re available among choices.
Just grabbed a HULU $1.99 mo for a year, we already have Amazon Prime. After factoring a $10.00 increase in Internet service,
Anticipating just over $50.00 mo saving, first modest step towards Cord cutting this week.
