The Homes Politicast

homespoliticast
A weekly compilation of political news in Michigan. With political news being piecemeal, the landscape is hard to follow. Thomas and Jim bring the relevant news that people want to know straight to you. We summarize bills being considered at the state level and later in the show give opinions about what is going on.
WHO IS JOE SPAULDING? ALSO THE MSU SHOOTING
The shooting at MSU has sparked another heated political battle. Democrats are calling for more gun laws and Republicans are saying that the ones on the books need to be enforced. Within Ottawa County we have two hecklers of elected officials that are doing their best to get those officials fired from their jobs. Joseph F Spaulding of Holland and Walter "Mac" Davis are doing everything they can to harass the new commissioners and are even extending their reach to precinct delegates. Finally, the commissioners are being sued for their decision to replace the director of the health department so we will see where that goes.

THE LONE MEDIA OUTLET
The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners have fulfilled many of their campaign promises within the first day of taking office. They have been called everything from fascists to untransparent to unlawful. We'll look at what they did and how legal it is. The AG for the state of Michigan thinks she can find some problems with the actions of the board and is launching an investigation to protect all the unelected democrats in our county government from our elected Board of Commissioners. This shows her commitment to democracy and self-governance.  We also discuss some of the impotent arguments for how important the health director is. Finally, I am the only media outlet to report on the exposure of Doug Van Essen as a man more dedicated to sowing confusion than to working with the new commissioners in an honest way. Why are media outlets so unconcerned with government officials lying to their new bosses? We discuss today.   Board of Commissioners/ Nessel:https://wwmt.com/news/local/ottawa-county-commission-board-react-attorney-general-dana-nessl-under-review-actions-john-gibbs Fascists:https://substack.com/inbox/post/94450242 News Outlets:https://www.hollandsentinel.com/story/news/politics/county/2023/01/04/ottawa-impact-campaigned-on-transparency-in-their-first-meeting-they-blindsided-the-community/69775298007/ My Reporthttps://substack.com/inbox/post/95080403 Video:https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxf8_PBUPzwG1YNofmeQ4WusdXU9qifnpD?fbclid=IwAR1EFhYqX9V3O3eBNtBD2iYNpN2D6oR0KoVjQZEmy-FVQ0zX26Y9IDijzf4&h=AT1EMZS5nre6uxij29y8-E23zaqsS0GvZOyWGEaX-g7KA7JQu-nlZqcH4AeLkR8S5wNQxT5O0PCt85fLh6pNiQ9ub2Ja4k7MPAgn3ANsFsYVIQNj1c_UR2zFjpzQueUw7kiw&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT2oBeu_4pNoWfeDoUrja-rHOepmjHtwUPhym178ZeA2HXqKl-DORkO8GtAC2Y9VJEBbzOznFswGmwTNpodiW-HtS4qA852t2sopgeegh2-vxUb0Nq0aZS7tHqLWhKCddUoHzC7n80op0MTkniPksFkm50rkl-WRS46UYUGLaGfO Music: Playhttps://uppbeat.io/t/qube/playLicense code: IIZDSTKRDGXI7PNG Tres Frenchhttps://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/tres-frenchLicense code: C8HDT8WOK0YSWC1H Good Thinghttps://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/good-thingLicense code: 2ESACEXAUDUH1CQE Seize the Dayhttps://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-dayLicense code: SAPBW8FLFBZF0IIJ Threatenedhttps://uppbeat.io/t/alex-besss/threatenedLicense code: QANMXKWPMBIW6AMZ Psychohttps://uppbeat.io/t/alex-besss/psychoLicense code: LN7SE04MRSYTNUIC Hero’s Timehttps://uppbeat.io/t/paulo-kalazzi/heros-timeLicense code: 6OH2OTOIZMLP2OH7 Greensleeveshttps://uppbeat.io/t/dan-barracuda/greensleevesLicense code: EQEQX1GF7SAMQZGO

DISCOVERY ABOUT ELECTRIC CARS BY GHBLP MEMBER
Leftists on the Grand Haven Board of Light and Power discover that electric cars use coal to charge. This revelation should be obvious to most people, but we need to help our green friends when they don't understand fossil fuels. Other problems with the destruction of the power plant are starting to manifest too. Talking about 33% increase for energy in Grand Haven. Yikes. Colleges are finally starting to comment on republican beliefs, and we are all so relieved to have the experts explaining to us the things they think republicans believe. Finally, an update on what my plan is for next year for the show and a look into how schools put teachers before students.   GHBLP - https://youtu.be/H4um6_KAcWA?t=5982 NCM Teaching about Conspiracies - https://twitter.com/IzzyLyman/status/1603748866129641475 Holland High School - https://twitter.com/straightnewsmi/status/1605612943424360448

MICHIGAN CHANGING ALREADY
Democrats have not even taken office yet and they are proposing massive reform of the state's laws. HB 6544 would make it illegal to own a rifle. This bill may not go anywhere but it is a predictable development.  Gretchin Whitmer celebrates our small businesses but has never acknowledged the small business owner she arrested for operating. Republicans need to bring something to the table better than the potential for fraud and I discuss the differences between our state constitution and national constitution. Finally there is more fun out of GHAPS encouraging gender confusion for children.

SEXUALIZING OUR CHILDREN, APPELLATE COURT, AND MORE MEDIA SLANDER
Jen Stuppy spoke to Don about the slander she experienced in the Grand Haven Tribune. We desperately need local news that will fairly represent all sides. You need all the facts so that you can make your own decision. Also, why should you care about the appellate court and how should you vote on it this Tuesday? We'll discuss how to find out the facts. Finally, policing is continually under attack and the attack is in Grand Rapids. We discuss the case again.  Jen Stuppy's Experience https://youtu.be/6tz_1fAsFUE?t=159 Slander in the Tribunehttps://www.grandhaventribune.com/lifestyles/faith/against-those-who-would-harm-lgbtq-students-in-grand-haven/article_b8d7ad36-6b5d-5e15-b61e-b499faf4decc.html Appellate Courthttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/appellate-courts.asp#:~:text=Appellate courts, also known as the court of,heard in a trial-level or other lower court.

THE TIDES HAVE TURNED
The polls in Michigan are telling a different story than you might hear from the mainstream media and Democrats. Tudor is up, proposals are up, but a red wave may be the outcome. A poll in the NYT suggests that many Americans don't trust the media which is a great pitch for me! We hear from Roger Williams running for the Grand Haven School Board and examine the claim that he is a disruptive and radical extremist. Finally, clear your children from the room because I will be talking about "This Book Is Gay" and you don't want this near your children. Why is it in GHAPS?

GRAND HAVEN HS CURRICULUM DIRECTOR ”RESENTS” GRAND HAVEN
Many parents have started attending their school board meetings upon learning that they had almost no control over their child's learning and that some teachers are using their platform to teach harmful ideologies to children. Some parents are motivated enough to run for the school board themselves. I spoke to Tommy Vanhill and Thomas Hoekstra this week and we will see what they have to say. Also, since the Mayor of GH didn't get addressed last week that's on the docket. GHHS curriculum director says she "resents" Grand Haven's Community. Proposal 3 lets children make their own decision about sterilization and finally we look at how mail in ballots are processed.   Candidates for GH School Board https://grandhavenschoolboard.com/   Mayor Release https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/grandhaventribune.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/4/ad/4ade5e05-6231-5b4f-9fea-330e42873d20/63409137835f3.pdf.pdf   Mayor Article https://www.grandhaventribune.com/news/local/petition-filed-to-recall-grand-havens-mayor/article_247cbc08-3c3c-5b3a-a214-6cc57bc63336.html   Detroit School Board https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2022/10/14/trump-dearborn-schools-protest-lgbtq-book-board/69559895007/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot   Prop 3 https://thefederalist.com/2022/10/12/michigan-is-hiding-a-childrens-constitutional-right-to-genital-amputation-in-its-abortion-amendment/   Mail-In Ballots https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2022/10/14/election-2022-mail-ballots-fact-focus/69563574007/   GHPS Curriculum Director https://rumble.com/v1g02eh-grand-haven-schools-approach-to-crt-curriculum-director-mary-jane-evink.html?fbclid=IwAR3tU1x4xUZI2c9LMih7GtRNDcHAPBng8nDcGbO9QgDfCokJ9lcF5D7MOGs
