| Erica Ward Gerson Board of Directors for the Detroit Land Bank Authority Former Chair of Detroit Economic Club |
Mike Pence came to Detroit to say how great the economy is to the Detroit Economic Club.
While telling everyone about how great the economy is, Trump tweeted about cutting interest rates, contrary to what Pence was promulgating, which led me to the conclusion that Pence did not get the memo that the Detroit Economic Club is under an international investigation.
Here is everything you ever wanted to know about the Detroit Land Bank Authority.

The $4.6 million represents Skadden's fees for up to 950 hours of work with Paul Manafort because Manafort was running those Corporate Shape Shifting operations through fake ass LLCs where the Detroit Land Bank Authority was running fake ass quiet title and mortgage fraud schemes, over, and over, and over again, running the money through fake ass foreign child welfare NGOs to run back into the U.S. to fund political campaigns. and the Ukrainian government in 2012, because Mike Duggan is the one who set up the Ukrainian fake ass child welfare NGO scams of laundering more money from more child welfare Medicaid fraud ops off children of "The Poors" from the fake ass quiet title and fake ass mortgage fraud scheme to set up TARP so they could have #perkinscoiesucks bring in dumb ass Bill Clinton as the spokestoken for the Detroit Land Bank Authority set up by "The Roach I Want To Stomp", Donna Shalala which Skadden had initially told the Department of Justice had been billed at 100 Ukrainian hryvnias ($13) per hour.[16] As of May 2019, Skadden, along with Mercury Public Affairs and the Podesta Group, Which took on the money laundering of TARP through the Detroit Land Bank Authority portion of fake ass operations to run the money through the Michigan Democratic Party through my Sweetie's federal campaign, to the DNC, where Hillary just did her bundling thing and funded her 2016, and before, presidential campaign, and the campaigns of just about anyone else, like Carlyle Group, who wanted to run Medicaid fraud in child welfare dollars out the country, through Grand Rapids Spectrum Health, through AlphaBank, to fund GOP campaigns. have been under investigation by the Southern District of New York (SNDY) for possible lobbying violations regarding former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.[17]

Wanna know another secret? The members of the Detroit Economic Club are all co-conspirators of the Jeffrey Epstein case because it all started in Michigan, and operates out City of Detroit, Wayne County, State of Michigan, University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
Even Mike Pence participated in the gerrymandering of Michigan which resulted in the 2016 election interference investigation.
Mike Pence supports the death of Detroiters from these nefarious highly sophisticated, complex, financial fraud schemes of stealing the children, the land and the votes, just like they did to Russia.
Where is George Bush, for he was uber mean to my Sweetie, yet, can tell the world why the Russian investigation started.
Ben Carson is from Detroit.
Ben is the Director of HUD.
Ben is working with SIGTARP, DOJ, SEC and a myriad of other conjugal collaborations dealing with the Detroit Land Bank Authority SIGTARP, where Erica Ward Gerson just so happens to be the former Director for the Detroit Economic Club, which, of course, is under the scrutiny of the U.S. Treasury, Russia, and the international judicial community.
That is why I say Ben and Trump trolled Pence...really hard...I mean #EPIC hard troll, because Pence just got flagged, by The Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed as a co-conspirator.
I know Mike Pence shall be back in Detroit, just as soon as the grand juries in Grand Rapids and Detroit unseal, unless Trump decides to expedite justice by stop obstructing justice and pull that IG Report from his backpocket.
Oh, the excitement!

Pence tells Detroit the economy is riding high as Trump tweets about interest rates
Vice President Mike Pence gave one of those “you’ve-never-had-it-so-good” speeches to the Detroit Economic Club on Monday just after his boss went on a tweet storm about interest rates.
Minutes before Pence took the stage at Motor City Casino, President Donald Trump tweeted a call for massive interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, the overseer of the nation’s money supply. He also bashed his own appointed Fed chair, Jerome Powell, in some of his harshest language to date, deploring Powell’s “horrendous lack of vision.”
In the tweets Trump called for the Fed to slash interest rates by “at least 100 basis points” or 1 percentage point, a far bigger cut than the Fed is likely to approve.
But when the tweets cleared, Pence, as expected, delivered upbeat economic bromides of the kind that will form the elixir of the Trump reelection effort in 2020.
Pence's message to 300 Detroit Economic Club members and guests, in short, was that the economy was in dire straits before Trump became president but now is riding high, and will continue to do so as long as voters don't turn to what he termed Democratic socialists.
A practiced speech maker, Pence's delivery was strong but every one of his lines will be contested by the other side.
"President Donald Trump delivered, and the American economy is booming," Pence said. He peppered his 25-minute speech with variations on that theme.
Among those: “The American dream is working again for every American. The forgotten men and women of America are forgotten no more." And "We're gonna keep doing what we're doing 'cause it's working for Americans." And, "It's about trade and jobs and tax cuts ... and the results have been nothing short of remarkable."
Along the way, Pence offered a lot of the most reliable conservative chestnuts about his Democratic opponents: “socialized medicine,” "open borders" and “siren song of socialism.”
Summing it up, he said, "I leave here today with confidence that we will continue to strengthen the greatest economy in the world."
Pence’s audience was a friendly crowd but not a campaign-rally crowd. The applause was frequent but polite, and lots of people headed for the exits even as Pence was still shaking hands with front-row audience members.

In a break with Economic Club tradition, Pence neither held a news conference nor took questions from the audience.
And the Economic Club took precautions to ensure no repeat of protests from the audience that marked candidate Trump's appearance in 2016, when several anti-Trump protesters, including now-Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, were yanked kicking and screaming from the room. The club did not allow public ticket sales and took no last-minute new member sales.
This financial speculation of the City of Detroit publication was generated to finalize the decision by the Governor of Michigan to make a judicial determination of the fake ass bankruptcy for Detroit, where the Detroit Land Bank Authority was a creditor, was written by Erica, who sits on the board for the Detroit Land Bank Community Development Corporation and that fake ass Detroit Land Bank Authority that does not exist because Bill *Smooches* Schuette took me to court to dissolve my LLC, filed with the State of Michigan, LARA.
I thought it only proper to include it since Ben and Trump failed to give Pence the Detroit memo.
