In his State of the State speech, Governor Snyder said that the buck stops with him. Since the speech he has attempted to pass the buck like a hot potato and has spent time and energy on trying to prop up his own political career – time better spent fixing the mess he allowed to…
Let’s face it, either Rick Snyder is lying about when he knew about the severity of the Flint Water Crisis or Dennis Muchmore will go down as the worst Chief of Staff in the history of Michigan. It’s clear that the seriousness of the crisis reached the Governor’s inner circle by July of last year…
It’s the holiday season. That means too much food, shopping, family and the not-so-fun political arguments with your conservative uncle.

While the cause of the hurricane is based in…
The Donald is in Michigan today. The irrational wing of the GOP is pumped. The GOP establishment is scared. They’re scared because Donald Trump wasn’t supposed to lead the polls.
