Walz and Biden and all of the other DEMONratic and RINO "leadership" weren't really elected--they were "appointed" by the deep state cabalists via the "no excuse mail-in ballot and Internet hackable voting "machines" that were instituted in the "swing" states over the past 5 years.

Detroit has been corrupt for so many years no one even bothers with it any longer. 65 years ago, it was the gem city of the Midwest. Doesnā€™t take long to destroy anything man touches.

Expand full comment

Detroit was once considered to be the 'Paris of the Midwest'. The beautiful art-deco buildings that were once the pride of the nascent Detroit auto industry are still there.

I was shocked to learn that Kwame was/is a WEF Young Acolyte. Kwame's corruption was legendary as pretty much everyone knows.

The not-quite-fatal deathblow to Detroit started with Coleman Young. Coleman did everything he could to play the race card and to alienate Detroit from the suburbs. The culture of racial victimization has persisted to the city's detriment despite all attempts to reintegrate Detroit into the larger surrounding suburban area.

My Dad was an executive with the Detroit Free Press (back when it wasn't a garbage rag) and part of my childhood upbringing was spent with my Dad driving through Detroit and his pointing out all the ways Detroit's infrastructure was destroyed even before the '67 Riots and Coleman Young's administration. My Dad blamed the auto industry and seeing what happened to places like Pontiac and Flint, I tend to agree with him.

Places like the Grande Ballroom that was legendary for hosting bands back when music mattered like Iggy, MC5 (think 'Kick out the Jams'), are now empty husks along Michigan Avenue which is still, all these years later, like driving through a third world city or a post-apocalyptic movie set. I remember a friend who was a big Eminem fan making a trip to Detroit back in the late '00s to see Eight Mile looking for notable spots from the movie. Predictably, she was horrified particularly when she got a glimpse of Seven Mile towards the east-side.

It's been nothing short of miraculous that a dying, rust belt example of urban detritus has been brought back from the brink through the vision of the late-Mike Ilitch and Dan Gilbert. It's questionable whether it will be sustained with Michigan's leftward lurch under Whitmer and businesses migrating steadily out of the state.

There are many WEF plants running for local office with much $$$$ behind them. The sheeple have no clue.

Coming from mid Michigan, near Saginaw, you can add that city to the list. The auto industry did help in the destruction of Detroit, but over 80 years of Democratic influence have made it nothing but a scene of urban decay. It is living off itā€™s former sportā€™s glory now, the only reason any one goes to that area and if the pro teams donā€™t start bringing in championships, the fans wonā€™t keep coming, but it is always good to get all kinds of Federal and state monies that is laundered and never actually helps those who need it.

Detroit has its beauty. The classic art-deco buildings that date back to the '20s. The new construction.

Our favorite thing used to be to eat at this great Vietnamese place north of Little Caesar's Arena, walk down Woodward to the riverfront and Hart Plaza, hang-out down there, and walk back through Greektown, passing Ford Field and Comerica. We always felt safe, day or night.

Detroit's like any other city: you just have to know where you can and should not be.

If you haven't yet read it, I highly recommend Detroit: An American Autopsy, by talented Detroit-based writer Charlie LeDuff. Another great one is Detroit: A Biography, by Scott Martelle. The Detroit experience - socially, economically, and politically - remains relevant for all big American cities. I'm witnessing our increasingly blue capital city in a vast sea of red take on all the trappings of San Francisco, New York, and Chicago and threatening to bring the rest of our state with it.

Expand full comment

Did this all start with the "death" of American dominance in the auto-making biz--which would have been from the late 1970's onward? Just curious, Hannah!

Expand full comment

Detroit specifically was in recession beginning in the late '50s as the war-based economy started to contract. Detroit was a magnet for all of the war-based factory jobs in the '40s which brought lots of people and new social problems (the Detroit race riots in 1943, for example). When the war ended, so did the jobs. Detroit was already in decline by the time of the '67 Riots.

No, it's a factual-based disagreement outside the US borders.

The civilized world and Europe are united in stopping Putin's War. Here it's become rather shrill like a "Rumble" Qtardia scream of bio labs and "illegal war" but as a reference deleting Putin referenced in his ACTUAL illegal war/invasion of Ukraine.

Tucker is leading the charge with fabrications on that front. It's a sad display.

You can call it "true" but the truth is he's being intellectually dishonest.

I do applaud him for sticking to it. Seriously. That's one of the best qualities of a Marine - Semper Fi. However, jarheads are a little short on critical thinking skills but that is a skillset not required to be a good Marine.

Expand full comment

Think the Marine here is making regular, factually-based comments and he's typically not met with anything other than, "I don't like these facts."

My experience studying the region and travel there acknowledges Benjamin's expertise to which he speaks. I've not seen him make errors in facts as so many others do probably because they prefer or choose to ignore facts and simply go the other way of demented Biden. (It is Biden and his Obamunist handlers who gave Putin the idea he could get away with his illegal invasion.)

Benjamin is not short on critical thinking but he's not seen much in the way of factual disagreement. Mostly, it's just name calling.

Generally Jeff is good on:

Covid

Trump's "charges" (Which are BS, being an idiot is not illegal)

Mandates-he ironically skips a lot of foreign coverage, I don't know why. But he discusses the EU and WHO along with Europe but Skips Russia. Very ironic given that Russia is huge into the vaccine mandates and just approved the sputnik covid shot in under 3 months for children.

But very, very bad on:

Foreign policy-especially Ukraine and Nato.

If Trump was in office he would be singing a very different tune and how we have to support our allies and help our friends, the Ukrainians.

Forieng policy

Expand full comment

Can't speak to the 50-50 record perspective posed but it's largely driven by domestic and foreign policy. Outside the borders of the US, the takes get real bad, lack facts and have become jump the shark hysterical. Not in a good way either.

There are Americans who don't feel the incompetent, illegitimate administration controlling the oval means a reflexively negative to everything including foreign policy is the right path. It will only worsen things and give aid and comfort to the ChiCom-Russia-Mullahs Alliance which if you noticed is on the march.

Expand full comment

Well of course as a Neocon you're only concern is "Outside the borders of the US" (which gives away your neocon agenda) and "foreign policy" as this is the only area the Neocon narrative is concerned with. The Neocons have been driving the bus on foreign policy in the USG since before I was born and they do not even care if the American people are ruled domestically by a Bolshevik tyranny as long as they are able to continue to bleed Americans dry to maintain their NWO USG hegemony. I understand that for you and Ben to even consider such a concept would cause unacceptable cognitive dissonance. So you construct your own little fantasy world of selected "facts" to justify your paradigm of "US foreign relations" and never trouble yourself with the ethical or moral implications.

Expand full comment

Now that is the most concise statement I've seen. Obviously if Trump were in office that wouldn't have happened. Doesn't justify a thing though unless you subscribe to the Neocon narrative to never turn down a good opportunity for another war. If they want to come here to fight, we will quickly dispatch them to the afterlife. If they fuck up on the other side of the planet, that's not my problem nor should it be. Patriotic Nationalism semper fi. Empire and international hegemony based on empire building and foreign regime change is illegitimate and immoral and Constitutionally illegal yet the USG has been engaged in it since Abraham Lincoln waged unlimited warfare on half of America. Yet this is what the NeoCons who control the USG have been all about since before WWII. As a result, they have progressively destroyed America morally, ethically and financially. The great American middle class, the wonder and envy of the world, has been hollowed out economically and culturally. We now stand on the brink thanks to the NeoCons.

I can only pray that Trump gets back into office but, either way, the real war here in America has been engaged. Trump threw down the gauntlet in his interview with Tucker when he said the Number 1 problem, above China, above Ukraine and Russia, above everything else is the Deep State in America. This is the enemy the American people are now engaged in war with. International adversaries are nothing compared to this threat to the very existence of America. Those exterior threats are easily handled. We are that strong.

It is a Neocon deception that America cannot defend herself without controlling the rest of the world through NATO and the exportation of the wealth of the American people to buy the loyalty of foreign despots and governments. This is EXACTLY what the founding fathers including George Washington warned us about. But once the Neocons got in control of the USG they would rather submit to a Bolshevik coup than truly protect the interests of the American people. And that's the BOTTOM line.
