In a nutshell, City of Dearborn agreed to purchase the land for West Dearborn Partners, L.L.C., to build residential and commercial space, while they got the money to build it.
West Dearborn Partners, L.L.C. took out a mortgage with Bank of America under a construction lien, where the bank would take the land as collateral.
West Dearborn Partners, L.L.C., filed bankruptcy after they got the mortgage, where it was discharged.
The MIED Bankruptcy Court was supposed to contact all parties to the case.
The City of Dearborn was never party to the case.
Bank of America never discharged the other parcel.
Now, through lots of litigation which probably paid off the mortgages of the attorneys on the case, it seems Scott Lites, the resident agent of the former Dearborn Partners, LL.C. was also the same attorney who was flipping properties for Mike Duggan, out the backdoor of his Make Your Date grifting op, which is the next street over, which goes by the name of Detroit Progress.
Detroit Progress got those properties from the Detroit Land Bank Authority through fake ass property taxes through the fake ass Detroit Bankruptcy, but since it looks like someone was playing around with my blog, removing certain documents, which I still have, and are public information, I will be nice and bite my tongue.
Ok, that was long enough, but I am back on the fake ass Detroit Bankruptcy.
West Dearborn never recorded the discharge of mortgage?
A bankruptcy order can be nullified?
Well, I would most definitely say that is the Michigan Supreme Court reverses the case, that would mean the fake ass Detroit Bankruptcy could be revisited, including the Emergency Manager, which is all a fraud perpetrated upon the court.
Someone needs to ask Bill *Smooches* Schuette what he has to say on the matter because there are also lots of properties in the City of Dearborn that were wiped from the property tax rolls, but I digress.
Not really.
I believe it is time to start talking about JonesDay.
Keep in mind, there is no need for subpoena if there is a superseding investigation.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. – U.S. Attorney John F. Bash announced today that he will resign from the Department of Justice on Friday, October 9, 2020, at 11:59pm. U.S. Attorney Bash issued the following statement:
This Friday—eight years to the day after I first joined the Department of Justice—I will step down as United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Last month I accepted an offer for a position in the private sector and informed the Attorney General of my decision. I tendered formal letters of resignation to both the President and the Attorney General this morning.
I am grateful to the President, Senator John Cornyn, Senator Ted Cruz, and the other members of the United States Senate for the opportunity to serve the people of Texas. I am also grateful to former Counsel to the President Donald F. McGahn II, who gave me steadfast support throughout the nomination and confirmation process, and to former Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli, Jr., for first bringing me into the Department in 2012. And I am honored that during my tenure as U.S. Attorney, the Attorney General has seen fit to entrust me with significant responsibilities and to appoint me to his Advisory Committee.
I am also deeply indebted to the over 300 attorneys and staff members who work in our office, including the 73 Assistant United States Attorneys hired during my tenure. Through their tireless efforts, we have held accountable child abusers, drug-cartel leaders, gang members, bank robbers, embezzlers, fraudsters, scammers, and corrupt public officials. The exceptional public servants of our office have continued to perform at a high level during the national health crisis.
I owe special gratitude to my executive team—First Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley Hoff, Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristy Callahan, Counselor Mickey Tapken, Criminal Division Chief Christina Playton, Civil Division Chief Mary Kruger, Administrative Division Chief Gretchen Randall, and Legal Support Division Chief Lora Makowski. They are all women of extraordinary integrity, intelligence, and candor. I am proud to have served alongside them.
Most importantly, I would not have succeeded in this demanding role without the love and support of my wife, Zina, my daughter and son, my parents, my wife’s parents and siblings, and of course the Lord.
The Attorney General has elected to appoint Gregg Sofer to succeed me as U.S. Attorney. Gregg is an inspired choice. He is a veteran Department of Justice attorney, serving first in the National Security Division at Main Justice and then for over a decade as a national-security specialist in our Austin office. In the latter role, he built a reputation as a dogged and tremendously effective prosecutor. In 2018, I selected Gregg to serve as our office’s Criminal Division Chief, where he designed and implemented significant improvements to our operations, oversaw thousands of prosecutions, and provided me with invaluable advice on a range of important issues and cases. Since early this year, he has served in Washington, D.C., as Counselor to the Attorney General. He will make an excellent U.S. Attorney.
Like any job, serving as U.S. Attorney has had its high points and its low points. No day was worse than August 3, 2019, when we lost so many of our fellow Americans and our Mexican brothers and sisters to an almost inconceivable act of hatred. But there was nothing more soul-stirring than the way El Pasoans came together in the wake of that nightmare in a spirit of love and perseverance.
I hope that I have discharged my authority wisely and have improved the safety and security of my fellow Texans. I leave the Department with a profound respect for its people, its traditions, and its importance to our constitutional democracy.
Bash, 39, was appointed by President Trump to the position of United States Attorney in December 2017. He previously served in the Department of Justice as an Assistant to the Solicitor General from 2012 to 2017, and he served as Associate Counsel to the President in 2017.
Attorney General William Barr offered the following statement:
I offer my gratitude to John Bash for his service as United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Since 2017, John has successfully led one of the largest U.S. Attorney’s Offices in the country. John has made significant contributions to the Department of Justice, including his service on the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee. I appreciate his service to our nation and to the Justice Department, and I wish him the very best.
Lansing — The Michigan Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer did not have authority after April 30 to issue or renew any executive orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic under the 1976 Emergency Management Act.
The court, in its 71-page ruling, also found Whitmer did not possess the authority to exercise emergency powers under the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act because the act violates the Michigan Constitution.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
The ruling concluded the EPGA violated the Michigan Constitution because it delegated to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government and allowed the executive branch to exercise those powers indefinitely.
"... the Governor only possessed the authority or obligation to declare a state of emergency or state of disaster once and then had to terminate that declaration when the Legislature did not authorize an extension; the Governor possessed no authority to redeclare the same state of emergency or state of disaster and thereby avoid the Legislature’s limitation on her authority," the ruling said.
The ruling said while the EPGA only allows the governor to declare a state of emergency when public safety is imperiled, "public-health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic can be said to imperil public safety."
The Supreme Court's ruling on the question of the 1976 Emergency Management Act was unanimous. But the ruling on the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act saw a 4-3 split with Republican-nominated justices ruling the act unlawfully delegated legislative power to the governor.
Those ruling against the act were Justices Stephen Markman, Brian Zahra, Beth Clement and David Viviano.
Three medical centers filed suit against Whitmer in federal court earlier this year in a challenge to her executive order that prohibited non-essential procedures at the height of the pandemic.
The suit argued the 1945 Emergency Powers of Governor Act lacked reference to epidemics or public health and that the act's use of the word "emergency" implied a specific time limit.
House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, said on Twitter that the court ruled in agreement with the Legislature that the 1945 law is unconstitutional.
"The governor had no right to extend the state of emergency over the Legislature’s objection. Our Constitution matters, and this was a big win for our democratic process," Chatfield said.
Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Laura Cox added the ruling marked "a great day for the people of Michigan."
"Gov. Whitmer overexerted her powers," Cox said. "The Legislature wants to be a willing partner in dealing with COVID-19, and Governor Whitmer should recognize their duly delegated role.”
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer with Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II, behind her, acknowledges some guests, during the State of the State address at the Capitol Building in Lansing, Mich. on Jan. 29, 2020. She is flanked by Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, left, and Speaker of the House Lee Chatfield, right.
Lower courts have previously interpreted the 1945 law as giving the governor the ability to declare an emergency and then determine when the emergency is over.
It's one of two laws that allow a Michigan governor to declare an emergency. The 1976 Emergency Management Act includes a time limit that requires the legislative approval to extend an emergency past 28 days.
The suit from the medical centers closely aligned with litigation filed by the GOP-led Michigan Legislature, which has argued Whitmer's unilateral powers violate the separation of powers in government.
The governor's emergency powers should last only as long as it takes for the Legislature to assemble itself to address the emergency, argued lawyers for the GOP Legislature and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, the group representing the medical centers.
Deputy Solicitor General Eric Restuccia, who represented the governor in the case, countered that Whitmer's unilateral authority is necessary to ensure the governor can continue to act in the event that an emergency prevents the Legislature from holding session or makes it impractical to wait for lawmakers to go through the lawmaking process.
Whitmer has issued more than 180 executive orders since the start of the pandemic under the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act and the 1976 Emergency Management Act, the latter of which has a 28-day time limit unless extended by the Legislature.
The state high court only considered the arguments of the medical centers after federal district Judge Paul Maloney requested they rule on the question of Whitmer's emergency powers before he decided on the merits of their case.
Separately, a petition initiative drive led by the Unlock Michigan committee has collected more than 400,000 signatures to repeal the 1945 law at issue in the case.
Whitmer first declared a state of emergency because of COVID-19 on March 10. Since then, Michigan has confirmed more than 121,000 cases of the virus and 6,700 deaths linked to it.
The key to crafting and presenting legislation is all about the timing.
Here, we have the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, which is to honor my Boo Boo Barr for
Sir Boo Boo Barr Champion of Corporate Parental Rights to take over the U.S.
contemporaneously championing the advice and advocacy Of Corporate Parental Rights, on behalf of those Public Private Partnerships, for he has taken the oath of fealty to the foreign nation called the Vatican.
He who has sworn an oath of fealty to the tax exempt god of a foreign nation, wherefore, loyalty comes with the grant of lots of land and all the attached chattels of tiny humans.
A knight is a title of nobility, you know.
When you help get U.S. contracts, typically in child welfare, as a knight, as an U.S. for-profit or not-for-profit, while we typically call that an emolument, unless you are granted authority to engage in commerce in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign entity, by registering under FARA.
Otherwise, that may be considered under FCPA.
I just thought I would remind everyone when the history of the Knights of Columbus is cloaked in the bastardization of this nation's history.
Praytell, why is Boo Boo Barr praying for mercy, with Aladdin's magic "this means I am a real Smarty Pants" lamp by his side, bearing the arms of the U.S.?
I want to say 911, but will stick with the more universal blanket of "stealin' the children, land & votes."
A nun criticized the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast (NCPB) for its plans to award Attorney General Bill Barr for “Christlike behavior” on Wednesday morning.
Sister Helen Prejean slammed the Catholic organization for announcing the Christifideles Laici Award would be given to Barr, who is Catholic, at the annual breakfast. The award honors the recipient for “Exemplary Selfless and Steadfast Service in the Lord’s Vineyard,” according to the NCPB website.
Prejean, an advocate against the death penalty, argued in a tweet Tuesday night that the attorney general has not demonstrated “Christlike behavior” after the Department of Justice (DOJ) resumed federal executions this year.
“A.G. Barr has ordered the executions of six men with at least one more on the calendar,” she wrote on the social media platform. “What is ‘Christlike’ about using discretionary power to kill?”
Another nun, Sister Simone Campbell, the executive director of the Catholic social justice group Network, told Newsweek she was “horrified” Barr was the recipient of the award.
"I am horrified that they are giving an award to Attorney General Barr who had reinstituted executions of people on death row, which is shocking and counter to Catholic social teaching,” she said. “It is abundantly clear, 'thou shalt not kill', and he is doing that and he is being given an award.”
The NCPB created the award last year “to help highlight these good works and those who serve the Church so well.” The virtual breakfast, which was postponed since March due to the pandemic, started at 11 a.m.
As of Wednesday morning, 22,213 people have signed a Faithful America petition calling on the NCPB
"Stop! You may not legally kidnap this tiny human unless you have a CPS contract under U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops." said Boo Boo Barr.
to cancel giving Barr the award. Originally, the petition had a 20,000 signature goal, but the group has since raised it to 25,000.
“Attorney General William Barr's work — which includes teargassing peaceful protesters in front of the White House, defending the president's lawless corruption and attacks on American elections, and reinstating federal executions — has nothing to do with service to the Lord, and cannot be described as fidelity to the Church,” the petition reads.
“As fellow Catholics and other Christians, we call on the NCPB to cancel this award for Barr immediately, and avoid any further appearance of endorsing Donald Trump or his Cabinet members so close to an election,” it continues.
The NCPB and the Justice Department did not immediately return requests for comment.
Faithful America, a progressive Christian group, noted in a release that the award will be given the same week the DOJ will conduct two executions.
Pope Francis has come out against the death penalty under all circumstances calling it “inadmissable” in 2018 when he changed the Catholic Church’s teaching.
But the Trump administration resumed federal executions after a 17-year suspension, conducting six executions this year, including William Emmett LeCroy who was executed Tuesday after being convicted of raping and killing a woman in 2004.
Progressive Christians have also denounced the NCPB for identifying as non-partisan but hosting mostly Republican leaders including President Trump this year.
But, alas, there are those who are not happy with Boo Boo Barr.
The timing is not just symbolic, it is symbiotic, I tell you, because we are in Detroit.
Remarks by Attorney General William P. Barr on his Acceptance of the Christifideles Laici Award at the 2020 National Catholic Prayer Breakfast
Good morning. It is a great honor to be recognized by this esteemed organization. The truth is that no one is really worth of an award like this, so I am a little sheepish in accepting it. But I am honored to do so, because I greatly admire the organizers of this breakfast and those who are associated with it. This is a beautiful piece of artwork that I will cherish. Thank you.
For more than 15 years now, inspired by Saint John Paul II’s call for a renewal of Catholic communal and civic spirit, the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast has served as a living testament to the vital role of the Church and its principles in American public life. Thank you for praying with me, and for me, and for the future of our country.
This is a challenging time for many Americans. But times of trial have a way of reminding us how much we have to be grateful for. As people of faith, we take comfort in the knowledge that God has a purpose and a plan. And as citizens, we gain strength from the knowledge that our forebears confronted and overcame even greater tests.
In joining together to pray for the strength and health of our country, we carry on a tradition that goes back to the beginning of the Republic. During the summer of 1783, General George Washington gave his first major address following the Revolutionary War — a war the young nation very nearly lost. He delivered a famous prayer that continues to be read aloud every day at Mount Vernon. He asked God not only to protect the nation from external threats, but to maintain the character of its citizens: as he put it, to “dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy,” and to comport ourselves “with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the divine author of our blessed religion,” and without which “we can never hope to be a happy Nation.”
As Washington and his fellow Founders understood, religion is at the heart of the American experiment in self-government. In his Farewell Address, Washington said: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
What he meant is that self-government begins with self-restraint. And there is no greater teacher of restraint than religion. That is why John Adams declared that our Constitution — which recently celebrated its 233rd birthday — “was made only for a moral and religious people.” As Father John Courtney Murray later put it, the American idea is notthat “free government is inevitable, only that it is possible, and that its possibility can be realized only when the people as a whole are inwardly governed by the recognized imperatives of the universal moral order.”
That crucial link between religion and liberty, so well understood at the Founding, is all too often forgotten today. In American public discourse, perhaps no concept is more misunderstood than the notion of “separation of church and state.” Militant secularists have long seized on that slogan as a facile justification for attempting to drive religion from the public square and to exclude religious people from bringing a religious perspective to bear on conversations about the common good.
Yet as events like this one remind us, separation of church and state does not mean, and never did mean, separation of religion and civics. As late as 1952, Justice William O. Douglas could write for a majority of the Supreme Court that “we are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being.” Alexis de Tocqueville, the keenest observer of the early American republic, praised America’s separation of church and state while extolling America’s union of the “spirit of religion” and the “spirit of liberty” as the key to its success. And Tocqueville identified religion as perhaps the greatest bulwark against a descent into tyranny.
How does religion preserve liberty? In the first place, as our Founders recognized, religion assists in the formation of virtuous citizens who are prepared to exercise liberty responsibly. Whereas in democratic times, individuals have a tendency to withdraw from public life and pursue private self-gratification, religion builds community, strengthens social cohesion, and turns our attention to the common good. At the same time, religion safeguards individual rights by warding off what Tocqueville called the “impious maxim” that “everything is permitted in the interest of society.” For all of these reasons, Tocqueville referred to Americans’ religion as “the first of their political institutions.”
Unfortunately, in the last half century, that foundation of our free society has increasingly been under siege. Traditional morality has eroded, and secularists have often succeeded not only in eliminating religion from schools and the public square, but in replacing it with new orthodoxies that are actively hostile to religion. The consequences of this hollowing out of religion have been predictably dire. Over the past 50 years, we have seen striking increases in urban violence, drug abuse, and broken families. Problems like these have fed the rise of an ever more powerful central government, one that increasingly saps individual initiative, coopts civil society, crowds out religious institutions, and ultimately reduces citizens to wards of the State.
As patriotic Americans and people of faith, we cannot be complacent about these trends. Yet nor should we give in to despair. More recently, thanks in part to organizations like this one, we have seen some small but significant steps toward the restoration of religion to its rightful place in American public life.
Some notable advances — which admittedly are of particular interest to me — have come in the legal arena. They are the result of decades of hard work advocating for sound jurisprudential philosophies and appointing principled judges to state and federal courts. The most recent term of the Supreme Court, for example, saw three important victories for religious liberty. In each of these cases, the Department of Justice filed briefs supporting the free exercise of religion.
In one case, the Court reaffirmed the principle that the government cannot discriminate against religion in general funding programs, and struck down a provision of the Montana Constitution that had been interpreted to exclude religious schools from a scholarship program for underprivileged students. In another case, the Court held that the First Amendment prohibits courts from intervening in employment disputes involving teachers at religious schools who are entrusted with the responsibility of instructing their students in the faith. In the third case, the Court considered a regulatory mandate requiring employers to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, and upheld the administration’s rules exempting the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor and other employers with moral and religious objections.
In a sense, it is dispiriting that the disputes in these cases ever arose. In each case, the religious litigants were not asking for anything more than the basic freedom to exercise their faith and be treated the same as others. Nevertheless, the recognition of those rights by courts is encouraging. And all involved — from the litigants and lawyers to those who prayed for the wisdom of judges — can take solace in having achieved a just result.
Advocating for religious liberty is just one way that lay Catholics and others can answer the call to serve. In his exhortation Christifideles Laici, for which the award I have the honor of accepting today is named, Saint John Paul II noted that “the lay faithful are never to relinquish their participation in ‘public life’.” At the same time, he emphasized that faith is first and foremost about how we live our daily lives, for “the daily life itself of a truly Christian family makes up the first ‘experience of Church.’”
Wherever we are in life, it is never too late to work in the Lord’s vineyard. Our spiritual renewal, and the renewal of our national character, depend on it. Thank you, and God Bless America.
Quintessentially, I do believe Nancy is targeting that Horowitz IG Report Trump is obstructing justice with by keeping it in his backpocket by threatening, via this package of legislation on whistleblower protections, actions against blasphemy in false claims against an elected official, by forcing Boo Boo Barr to unseal all the Mueller referrals to those two magical grand juries.
We do not need the testimony of Don McGahn to congress because he is already in those grand juries and it is all public information if you just look here.
This is not going to end well, but shall be pearl clutching, for we are in Detroit.
Michael Steele knows the heavens shall fall quite soon because it all started in Detroit.
Micheal was mean to my Sweetie.
At least we know now that Kellyanne Conway was a very busy, busy, busy co-conspirator of the coup against the United States because her husband George is on the Lincoln Project.
I do not believe it is just me, but I am very sure that if one takes just a few moments in time, to look up who is the Resident Agent to the Lincoln Project, it shall be found that it is a Corporate Shape Shifter exactly like the Detroit Land Bank Authority, which leads me to believe that this is the work of JonesDay, but hey, what do I know?
I know I would love to sit down and do a few brews with Ronald Steslow, the only formally associated name to the Lincoln Project, because it seems an LLC nor INC is anywhere to be found.

Of course, that malodorous stench of trafficking tiny humans was overpowering because the largest donor, with, what I shall assume are reoccurring payments, is Stephen Mandel of Lone Pine Capital which just so happens to administer the children's trust of the Lone Pine Foundation, which seems to be funding Trump's permanent campaign.
The University of Michigan School of Education (UM-SOE) has long been engaged with Detroit and Detroit-area schools not only because of proximity to Michigan’s largest city, but also because of our core commitments to under-served and under-resourced communities. Countless SOE faculty and students provide instruction, conduct research, develop curricular materials, and build resources to improve the educational outcomes of Detroit’s school children.
In fall 2010, UM-SOE embarked on a new partnership with Teach For America (TFA) that has deepened our connections with Detroit and its teachers. TFA is the national corps of outstanding recent college graduates (and others) who commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in expanding educational opportunity. In fall 2010 TFA established a corps in the Detroit region.
There is another Stephen of GO BLUE infamy, Stephen Ross, the largest donor, as of late, to the Trump Campaign and you all know he hails from University of Michigan, where that money was stolen from the trusts of the children of Detroit.
I shall assume there was a limitation obstacle in the number of cell spaces to be less than $1,000,000,000, for what I shall assume to be an impossible thought to fathom of a nonprofit for children of "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) to hold more than a trillion dollars.
What if that number which is not properly reported was well over $10,000,000,000?
I could continue but I have a blog with a search function.
WASHINGTON — Former Republican Party chairman Michael Steele became the latest anti-Trump Republican to join the Lincoln Project, a political action committee led by Republicans working to defeat President Donald Trump and elect Democrat Joe Biden.
Coinciding with the start of the Republican National Convention, the Lincoln Project announced the addition of Steele, who served as RNC chairman from 2009 to 2011, as a new senior advisor Monday.
"The chair behind the Resolute Desk has always been bigger than any political party," Steele, a regular contributor on MSNBC and a Trump critic, said in a statement. "Sadly, we have witnessed its occupant devolve into preying upon Digital fears and resentments with narcissism that nurtures only chaos and confusion."

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele makes his remarks during a Republican National Committee Winter Meeting in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on Jan. 14, 2011.
He added: "Leadership is needed now more than ever and I am proudly committed to resetting the course of our nation, standing once again for the future of my Party; and working with The Lincoln Project to help restore the purpose for sitting in that chair."
Steele's addition comes on the same day the Biden campaign announced the endorsements of 27 former GOP members of Congress, including former Arizona U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, in support of Biden.
Last week's Democratic National Convention included several Republicans who back the former vice president including former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Rep. Susan Molinari, R-N.Y., former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman, onetime gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman and Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain.
Since launching in December, the Lincoln Project has produced some of the harshest critiques of the Trump administration, particularly over the president's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, in online videos that have gone viral and television commercials.
Lincoln Project founders include conservative attorney George Conway; former adviser to Sen. John McCain Steve Schmidt; former Kasich adviser John Weaver; former New Hampshire Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Horn; and conservative pundit Rick Wilson.
Conway and his wife Kellyanne Conway, a senior Trump advisor who works in the White House, announced Sunday they would be stepping away from their political roles to focus on their children. The Conways’ 15-year-old daughter, Claudia, has described an increasingly volatile situation at home on her public social media channels, tweeting Saturday that she is seeking legal emancipation from her parents.
Before becoming the first African American RNC chairman, Steele served as lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2003 to 2017. Steele unsuccessfully ran for U.S. senator in Maryland as a Republican in 2006. Today he's a political strategist and frequent guest on MSNBC.
"I believe, like the majority of patriots, the office of the Presidency embodies who we are as Americans," Steele said. "It represents the heart of our compassion, the dreams of those who built this country both freed and enslaved, the eyes of those today that see both hope and despair, and the wisdom of each of us to make a meaningful difference."
There is a fourth source of power a governor has to effectuate such sweeping powers of an Emergency Manager.
It is called being duly elected.
See, if you claim to be elected, in an election that was so jacked up, that it is still not certified because no one certified the 2018 Special Election.
That would make Gretchen Whitmer illegitimate, which means she does not possess any duly elected powers of goverening, in any shape or form, which means every single little thing she has ever done is retroactively nullified.
And, because everything I just said has been public information in the form of a play by play, real time narrative, Gretch, and her rogue ass crew cannot claim ignorance because I got the data of reading it all.
And, if they do play that, "Duh, I had no idea," crap, you know they are lying because they were stealin' the children, land & vote, where these "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) arguing on behalf of both parties, being the State House of Representatives and the Office of the Governor, should all be defrocked.
The last time I checked, you are supposed to present your instruments of authority to demonstrate your capacity to bring forth a cause of action, in the form of corporate parental rights, in the form of a certified, sealed, oath of office, filed in the Great Repository of the Great Seal of Michigan.
This is called a quo warranto because she has no duly granted authority to be the armiger of the state.
She has no right to keep and bear the arms of the State of Michigan.
A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the House's subpoena of former White House counsel Don McGahn, ruling that Congress has the right to enforce its subpoenas in court.
The 7-2 decision from the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reverses an earlier ruling from a divided three-judge panel that declared that congressional subpoenas were essentially unenforceable.
"The Constitution charges Congress with certain responsibilities, including to legislate, to conduct oversight of the federal government, and, when necessary, to impeach and remove a President or other Executive Branch official from office," Judge Judith Rogers wrote in the majority opinion. "Possession of relevant information is an essential precondition to the effective discharge of all of those duties."
Although the ruling is a clear victory for congressional Democrats, it does not mean that McGahn will be sitting for testimony anytime soon. The majority decision did not address the Trump administration's claim that White House officials are immune to congressional subpoena, so even if McGahn does not appeal the ruling, the two sides will still have more to litigate before the D.C. Circuit.
Kerri Kupec, a spokeswoman for the Department of Justice, didn't say whether the administration would appeal the ruling.
The circuit court on Friday also ruled that the House has standing to sue Trump over his diversion of Pentagon funds to border wall construction.
“While we strongly disagree with the standing ruling in McGahn, the en banc court properly recognized that we have additional threshold grounds for dismissal of both cases, and we intend to vigorously press those arguments before the panels hearing those cases,” Kupec said in a statement.
The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed McGahn last year as part of an effort to follow up on the former special counsel's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. That investigation eventually morphed into President Trump's impeachment by the House and acquittal by the Senate.
Trump directed McGahn, his former legal adviser, not to comply with the subpoena, and the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel said the president and his inner circle were immune from congressional subpoenas.
The House sued in federal court to get the subpoena enforced and a district court judge sided against the president in November, ruling that the president and his close advisers have no such immunity from congressional subpoenas.
McGahn, represented by the Department of Justice, appealed the decision and a three-judge D.C. Circuit panel ruled 2-1 that the House had no standing to sue.
The House then asked the full D.C. Circuit to rehear the case, arguing that the panel's decision would seriously damage Congress's ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) applauded the ruling, saying that it "strikes a blow against the wall of impunity that President Trump has tried to build for himself."
“Today’s decision is a profound victory for the rule of law and our constitutional system of government," Nadler said in a statement. "The court rejected President Trump’s sweeping claim that Committees of the House have no standing before the courts to seek redress of the institutional injury caused when lawfully issued subpoenas are ignored. Today’s decision confirms the Judiciary’s ability to resolve these disputes."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also praised the ruling, calling it "a victory for the rule of law and Congressional oversight."
"The Court reaffirmed our Constitution’s system of checks and balances and rejected the President’s outrageous claim that Congress cannot enforce its subpoenas," she said. "The House will continue to pursue justice until Don McGahn and all Administration officials comply with our rightfully-issued subpoenas. We remain committed to our oversight responsibilities and to our nation’s fundamental principle that no one is above the law – not even the President.”
The ruling, which can be appealed to the Supreme Court, affirms that Congress has the power to investigate the president and his branch of government and holds that the authority is especially important during impeachment proceedings.
"To level the grave accusation that a President may have committed 'Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors,' the House must be appropriately informed," Rogers, who was appointed to the appeals court by former President Clinton, wrote in the opinion. "And it cannot fully inform itself without the power to compel the testimony of those who possess relevant or necessary information."
All seven of the judges in the majority were appointed by Democratic presidents, and both dissenters were appointed by Republicans. Two judges, Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both of whom were appointed by Trump and worked in his White House, recused themselves from the case.
The two judges who dissented — Thomas Griffith and Karen Henderson, both appointed by former President George H.W. Bush — argued in separate opinions that the courts should not be mediating disputes between Congress and the president.
"The majority’s decision will compel us to referee an interminable series of interbranch disputes, politicizing the Judiciary by repeatedly forcing us to take sides between the branches," Griffith wrote. "I cannot join the court’s expedition into an area where we do not belong and can do no good."
While Friday's ruling comes months after the conclusion of the impeachment process, it's a blow to the Trump administration, which has repeatedly argued in an unprecedented number of court battles between the two branches that Congress is limited in the ways it can fight back against the president.
The administration has had a mixed record in its legal battles against efforts to investigate the president. In a 7-2 ruling last month, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's argument that he has absolute immunity concerning a grand jury subpoena for his tax returns issued by the district attorney in Manhattan.
But the same 7-2 majority also dealt a setback to congressional subpoenas for Trump's financial records, ruling that the courts must carefully balance the interests of the two branches when faced with such disputes.
Though the high court ruled on the legal merits of those congressional subpoenas, it has yet to consider whether Congress actually has standing to enforce its investigative demands in the courts.
Racism is a public health crisis because if they do not come up with a new #coloredrevolution psyoptic legal defense hybrid campaign election strategy, the health of the "Elected Ones", including their rogue ass cohorts, may quickly wane, allowing them all to fall victim to the cooties.
LANSING, Mich. (FOX 2) - Michigan Governor Gretchen announced on Wednesday the creation of the Black Leadership Advisory Council and declared racism as a public health crisis while detailing plans to address it within state government.
Gov. Whitmer spoke on Wednesday about COVID-19 in Michigan, saying that Black people were more likely to die from the virus than white people.
"This pandemic has confirmed and highlighted the deadly nature of these pre-existing inequities caused by racism. COVID-19 is four times as likely to take the life of Black Michigander than a white one," Whitmer said.
The governor said her executive directive to create the Black Leadership Advisory Council will confront systemic racism in the state.
No. The creation of BLAC is just the administrative continuance of Black Lives Matter Phase II cover up for the Detroit Land Bank Authority. Gretchen will not say Detroit Land Bank Authority nor will she say my Sweetie's name. This is what Operation BLAC is all about because she has all the Blue Cross Blue Shield- Detroit Economic Club - Campaign & Election Fraud to deal with. The plan is to let their newly appointed spokestokens on center stage to chant the "white-man-hate-black-man-hate-yellow-man-hate-rainbow-man-hate-white-man...." around a midnight funeral pyre of their fellow co-conspirators who have died of the cooties, under a full moon, of course, as a legal vehicle to go to court, and drag out their public health crisis in hopes of cudgeling any superseding protracted litigation still sealed in those Detroit Grand Juries information.
I should fill out an application...in the spirit of fuchsia, of course.
“Since I was sworn in as governor, I have made it a top priority to include more people of color, more women, and more members of the LGBTQ+ community at the table. We’ve been able to build a more inclusive state government, but there is more work to do. That’s why today, I am proud to create the Black Leadership Advisory Council of Michigan,” said Governor Whitmer. “We must confront systemic racism head-on so we can create a more equitable and just Michigan. This is not about one party or person. I hope we can continue to work towards building a more inclusive and unbiased state that works for everyone.”
How about we start with your activities with the Michigan Catholic Conference and the Archdiocese of Detroit? If that is not pleasurable subject matter to broach in your BLAC OP, how about we start off with something simple, like the child trafficking industry of Foster Care and Adoption in Michigan? Let's invite MARE because they just refuse to stop selling kids online.
The Black Leadership Advisory Council will be within the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and will consist of 16 voting members representing Black leadership in economics, public policy, health and wellness, technology, the environment, agriculture, arts and culture, and more.
BLAC OP is put in LEO. I just love the mnemonics. I see hashtags, t-shirts and other catchy logos to internationallyi-beg.
The Black Leadership Advisory council will be included among a set of diverse ethnic commissions within the state of Michigan. Although African Americans are the largest racial minority in the state, this Council is the first of its kind in Michigan to elevate Black leaders and representatives.
Now, you know they are going to use Garland as the anchor scale for color tolling membership into this elite club, oops, I mean BLAC OP.
The council will work in an advisory capacity to the governor and develop, review, and recommend policies and actions designed to eradicate and prevent discrimination and racial inequity in Michigan. The council will take on this challenge by doing the following:
Identifying state laws, or gaps in state law, that create or perpetuate inequities, with the goal of promoting economic growth and wealth equity for the Black community.
How about starting with the Emergency Manager Law? I sit clutching my pearls to see if anyone is going to invite anyone from JonesDay, like Don McGahn.
Collaborating with the governor’s office and the Black community to promote legislation and regulation that ensures equitable treatment of all Michiganders, and seeks to remedy structural inequities in this state.
I am impressed that they actually pitched justification to fund their co-conspiratorial operations. Wow.
Serving as a resource for community groups on issues, programs, sources of funding, and compliance requirements within state government in order to benefit and advance the interests of the Black community.
Promoting the cultural arts within the Black community through coordinated efforts, advocacy, and collaboration with state government. This is called one of those Public Private Partnerships utilizing the interests of foreign interests in the best interest of the child, starting with bleachbitting education to make us dumber.
Providing other information or advice or taking other actions as requested by the governor.
The other directive, declaring racism a public health crisis, requires data documenting differences in health outcomes among racial and ethnic groups in Michigan to be collected, analyzed, and made publicly available to help leaders implement equitable policies. Additionally, departments must understand how racial disparities in societal, environmental, and behavioral factors intersect to affect access to resources like good jobs, access to healthy and affordable food and housing, equitable transportation options, and quality public education.
The Michigan Coronavirus Task Force on Racial Disparities will work in partnership with departments to develop a plan that details how Michigan will eliminate the root causes of the inequities that cause disparities in health outcomes for our residents.
“These past several months have been difficult for all of us, but they have been especially tough for Black and Brown people who for generations have battled the harms caused by a system steeped in persistent inequalities. These are the same inequities that have motivated so many Americans of every background to confront the legacy of systemic racism that has been a stain on our state and nation from the beginning,” said Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II. “That is why, today, we take the much-needed and long-overdue step of recognizing racism as a public health crisis. It is only after we have fully defined the injustice that we can begin to take steps to replace it with a greater system of justice that enables all Michiganders to pursue their fullest dreams and potential.”
Garlin should really step back and take a look at himself in the mirror because he is part and parcel of the reason why the "system is steeped in persistent inequities" because he got Detroit Land Bank Authority properties for dropping his election challenge in election fraud, probably, then, probably, someone whispered in his ear that if he just forgot everything about absentee ballot fraud in Detroit, that he would magically be crowned governor, as there is already a plan in place to replace Gretchen Whitmer, long before any of his elections were certified, but, hey, what do I know?

I wonder if anyone from the Congressional Black Caucus is providing "Legal Genius" (trademark pending) advice and consent to engage in financial transactions by and through foreign operations called "reparations", that I like to call more stealin', just like they did with TARP.
The speech comes one day after Whitmer issued a directive ordering state departments and agencies to take necessary steps to enforce all COVID-19 executive orders to slow or stop the spread of the virus.
Just this week, Michigan State Senator Tom Barrett tested positive for the virus, prompting the cancellation of Senate sessions this week and concerns about who could have been exposed.
On Tuesday, 150 COVID-19 cases were linked to teens who were attending parties in South Lyon and Fenton in Southeast Michigan.
The clusters are around at least six parties held in July and include the 150 cases - and counting - among 15- to 19-year-olds, according to health officials in Oakland, Genesee and Livingston counties. They're linked to indoor and outdoor graduation parties and prom-type parties.
A federal appeals court said it wouldn't put a hold on its order for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to provide redacted grand jury materials from former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation to Congress, but extended the deadline to allow the administration to appeal.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals gave the Trump administration until May 11 to seek a stay from the Supreme Court, denying the DOJ's request for a longer stay. The order was set to go into effect on Friday.
The move essentially leaves it up to the Supreme Court to decide whether to halt the order to hand over the materials.
The Justice Department had told the court that it intends to petition the Supreme Court to hear the case after a D.C. Circuit panel ruled that the House Judiciary Committee was entitled to the sealed materials as part of its impeachment inquiry.
"Whether and under what circumstances Congress may resort to the courts to seek grand jury materials generated in a criminal investigation in aid of an impeachment inquiry is plainly a question of great significance to all three branches of government, as well as to the functioning of the grand jury system in high-profile, politically-charged matters," the Justice Department wrote in a filing last month.
A three-judge panel on the circuit court had ruled 2-1 earlier this year that the House investigation justified the lawmakers obtaining the special counsel materials they were seeking.
"The Department has objected to disclosure of the redacted grand jury materials, but the Department has no interest in objecting to the release of these materials outside of the general purposes and policies of grand jury secrecy, which as discussed, do not outweigh the Committee's compelling need for disclosure," Judge Judith Rogers, a Clinton appointee, wrote in an opinion for the majority.
"Special Counsel Mueller prepared his Report with the expectation that Congress would review it," Rogers added.
The document request is part of a handful that have led to a surge in court fights between the Democratic-led House and the Trump administration.
This week, the D.C. Circuit scrutinized the Justice Department's position that congressional subpoenas are essentially legally unenforceable, in a case challenging a House subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn.
Later this month, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a set of cases revolving around subpoenas for President Trump's tax returns.
