Breaking: Palmer recall results so far show landslide for removal of the Palmer Three

About 20 people gathered in the upstairs of the Palmer Alehouse to wait for the results of the special election to recall three members of the Palmer City Council. The polls closed at 8 pm, and when the numbers came in over an hour later, they cheered loudly — it was a landslide to recall the three who were on a special recall ballot.

The three had held secret meetings on Facebook in a closed group with a fourth council member, who has since left office. These meetings constituted illegal activity because they were not advertised or open to the public.

Emmanuel Macron will win France's presidential election, pollsters project

Michigan Rrepublican Says A Family Is Made Up of, "A White Mom, White Dad and White Kids."

https://www.rawstory.com/trucker-2657205337/.

According to a report from the Detroit News, a far-right conservative radio host who is running for a seat in the state Senate as a Democrat, recently told listeners that he thinks families should be all white.

Last week "Trucker Randy" Bishop, who previously chaired the Antrim County Republican Party filed to run for a seat representing the 37th state Senate District as a Democrat.

That in turn has led to scrutiny of his radio rants, one of which in particular where he complained about how mixed families in commercials upset him.

As Craig Mauger of the Detroit News wrote, "Bishop, who goes by 'Trucker Randy,' made the comments on his March 31 show, according to a podcast that was still available.

Gotta love them there "Republican Family Values".

Merely saying out loud what all cons think. I will change that to most, not all.

May the 4th be With You, folks.

Unfortunately, J.D. Vance won the Ohio primary.

I say that as he was the Trump favorite, and more notably, he's yet another presto-change-o who was a #nevertrumper in 2015, hinted that Trump reminded him of fascism, but has now gone full Trumpist in 2022.

Not gonna comment, but Nina Turner lost her primary - again.

Robert Regan, the Michigan Republican who said rape victims should “lie back and enjoy it,” even if the Woman being raped was one of his three daughters...just lie back and enjoy it.

Reagan lost his bid for the state House to Democratic opponent Carol Glanville in a special election on Tuesday.

The district Regan sought to represent, a conservative area north of Grand Rapids whose residents are primarily white, has only ever been held by Republicans.

I received my voter information pamphlet last week and my mail-in ballot this morning. I'll probably go over both this weekend and make my choices. The hardest decisions are the ones for judges. The local bar association put out their ratings on judge candidates rating them either as fully qualified or qualified. They didn't make a recommendation as which ones to vote for.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A congressional map approved by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and drawn by his staff is unconstitutional because it breaks up a district where Black voters can choose their representatives, a state judge said Wednesday.

https://apnews.com/article/voting-right ... 0236b4bada

Leon County Circuit Judge Layne Smith said he would issue a formal order Thursday or Friday to keep the maps from taking effect in November’s election. He made it clear he would rule in favor of voting rights groups challenging the maps.

Smith said the order will likely replace the DeSantis map with one of two that the Legislature included in a bill and sent to DeSantis in March. The governor vetoed the bill and later called the Legislature back into special session. The Republican-dominated House and Senate chose not to draw a new map, and instead passed the DeSantis map.

A federal grand jury has issued at least one subpoena, and investigators are seeking interviews in the case of sensitive documents that ended up at the former president’s Florida home.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/12/us/p ... ified.html.

Federal prosecutors have begun a grand jury investigation into whether classified White House documents that ended up at former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida home were mishandled, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The intensifying inquiry suggests that the Justice Department is examining the role of Mr. Trump and other officials in his White House in their handling of sensitive materials during the final stages of his administration.

In recent days, the Justice Department has taken a series of steps showing that its investigation has progressed beyond the preliminary stages. Prosecutors issued a subpoena to the National Archives and Records Administration to obtain the boxes of classified documents, according to the two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
