Grand Rapids, Michigan (CNN)Donald Trump attacked Hillary Clinton in vulgar terms Monday night, saying that her bathroom break during the last Democratic debate was just too "disgusting" to talk about and then stating she "got schlonged" by Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race.

WALKER, Mich.- A record-setting crowd packed into the DeltaPlex Monday night to see Republican front runner Donald Trump take the stage. "We love Michigan, we love it!" Trump said as he first entered the arena for his first campaign stop in West Michigan and second in the state since announcing his presidential run. ... At least 10 people were escorted out of the building by security during the hour-long speech for heckling Trump, shouting various and usually inaudible things at the candidate. Trump didn't miss a beat, calling the protesters sad and staged. ... Expectedly, Trump also hit hard against...

Mitch Morrissey tried to imprison activists for passing out jury nullification pamphlets. Last August, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey charged two local activists, Mark Iannicelli and Eric Brandt, with seven felonies each for passing out jury nullification pamphlets at the Lindsey-Flanigan Courthouse. Morrissey continued to pursue those charges even after conceding that such activity is protected by the First Amendment. When I asked Lynn Kimbrough, Morrissey's public information officer, what Iannicelli and Brandt had done that crossed the line from constitutionally protected speech to felonious jury tampering, she refused to say. That's probably because Morrissey had no case, as confirmed...

TALLAHASSEE Visitors to Florida who rent cars are being shocked by toll charges long after they get home, and enough are complaining that legislators say it could damage the state’s tourist-friendly image. In Florida, a tourist climbs behind the wheel of a rental car and enters a world of 600 miles of toll roads, more than any other state. As cash toll booths are steadily giving way to cashless, all-electronic tolling, car renters are being hit with service fees of $4 to $15 a day on top of unpaid toll charges. The rental car industry calls it a convenience as...

It may surprise some to learn Brother Rice High School in Bloomfield Hills has a dozen or so Muslim students. It has been that way, say leaders, for many years. But questions have recently been raised, primarily by about a dozen or so angry parents, over a prayer room, which allows those Muslim students to pray on a Catholic school's property. "When the question was 'Is there a place that I can pray?', the answer that evolved was yes," says school president John Birney. "We have this 'sacred space' available for you if you want it," he remembers telling students....

Authorities say three suburban Detroit teachers got sick after eating marijuana-laced brownies put out in a school lounge.

Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez thought she was doing the right thing when she pulled out her pistol and fired at a pair of shoplifters as they fled from a Home Depot near Detroit. She wasn't, at least in the eyes of the law. On Wednesday, a Michigan judge sentenced Duva-Rodriguez to 18 months of probation and stripped the 46-year-old of her concealed gun permit. Duva-Rodriguez didn't manage to stop the shoplifters when she rattled off several rounds outside an Auburn Hills Home Depot on Oct. 6, although she did flatten one of their tires. ~snip~ Duva-Rodriguez did not contest the charge in...

The list of schools where students can get a decent education has been dwindling for some time. And atmospheres of political correctness are nothing new. But with the second coming of '60s radicalism - met this time with weak-willed administrators caving to long lists of student demands - the issue is whether there are any universities where dissenting students have half a chance. Some schools are better than others. Colleges like Hillsdale in Michigan, which takes no funding from the federal government, does not have to worry about conforming to insane Title IX statutes. And its luminous faculty treats students...

I don't know how much time you have spent on university campuses. I have spent my whole life in academia and I can tell you I have witnessed the deterioration over the course of time. It is no longer to be assumed that freedom of speech prevails on a university campus. Instead, there are codes of speech. I would say codes of conduct except that the conduct that is most restricted is speech on our campuses and it is not because the speech is of the outrageously obscene variety which we might be perhaps sympathetic trying to control. After all,...

Michigan’s Jake Butt is one of the tightest tight ends in the nation, and was chosen as the Big Ten’s Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year. Butt, a junior, has 48 receptions for 620 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. He’s always shown immense potential, but really flourished this season under Jim Harbaugh, a man who knows his way around tight ends. If Butt decides to declare for the NFL Draft, at the moment he’s looking like a mid-round pick.

Even though some say Hillary Clinton would benefit if you were to be the GOP nominee, for the good of the country I want you to get out of the race. Your lies and vitriolic rhetoric are causing irreparable damage to the nation. In "The Leadership Challenge," a best-selling tome on leadership by James Kouzes and Barry Posner, 89% of people across the globe identify honesty as the most important characteristic of a leader. It seems counterintuitive, then, that despite spewing lies every week and managing to offend people of every race, creed and color, you have still managed to...

Two men have been called cowards for stealing a mobile phone from a cerebral palsy sufferer, beating him and recording the vicious attack on the device. The brutal beating was then shared to the victim’s Facebook page. Nikey Dashone Walker and Shadeed Dontae Bey were arrested after the cruel attack in a stairwell at the victim’s apartment block in Pontiac. The Oakland County Sheriff's Department labelled the pair as ‘cowards’ for “preying on those in our community who suffer from disabilities”. “To have the audacity to post their actions on the victim's page is beyond belief,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said...

Keith Eric Wood is being prosecuted for standing outside a Michigan courthouse and handing out a leaflet that discusses jury nullification. According to Michigan authorities, his leafletting (1) constitutes felony “obstruction of justice," by "knowingly and intentionally giving the members of a ... jury pool a pamphlet that encouraged the jurors to violate their oaths and directly contradicted the instructions the jurors would be given thereby tainting the entire jury panel..."

Starting at least three years ago, I have heard on the radio station WJR AM 760 Detroit, a recruitment ad for the Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI which lists the various types of people they are looking for to enroll in their school. Among these most desired types are "the risk-takers" and "the anarchists"... This ad is usually run during the early morning drive but I have not heard it on any other station or at any other time. The fact that they announce that they are actively seeking "anarchists" is somewhat bothersome but since I first heard this...

Since the start of the Syria's civil war in the spring of 2011, the U.S. has admitted 2,311 Syrian refugees and resettled them in 36 different states. According to data from the State Department's Refugee Processing Center the top three destinations for Syrian refugees since the beginning of the conflict are California, Texas, and Michigan. From March 15, 2011 through December 1, 2015, California received the most (261) Syrian refugees, Texas received the second most with 242, and Michigan has received the third most with 217. Other states that have received Syrian refugees since March 2011 include: Arizona (182), Illinois...

There are many of us, perhaps millions, who believe that the Republican party as a governing force has been the lesser of two evils. We fear what the Democrats are doing to destroy the country but we’re angry about what the Republicans aren’t doing to repair the damage. This is why Donald Trump and Ben Carson have been so popular. It’s why so many people are willing to tell pollsters that they support either of the anti-establishment candidates.Thankfully, there’s a third candidate who would stand in stark contrast to the ineffective Republican Establishment that has been harming the party and...

Police have arrested a suspect in the murder of a 91-year-old Michigan man they say was beaten and then doused with gasoline before he and his home were set on fire. Officials announced that a suspect in the murder of Paul Monchnik was arrested Tuesday, a day after the retired TV repairman and World War II veteran was found dead in his burning northwest Detroit home. "We do have a suspect in custody, and this is just a part of a closed chapter for that family that is still grieving," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said at a news conference....

This is a big part of what the University of Missouri and copycat racist crybully protests were about. Making racist indoctrination mandatory on campus not only provides jobs and entitlements for the crybullies, but perpetuates the cycle. They got their way at the University of Michigan. The University of Michigan has added a three-year diversity requirement to its Ross School of Business undergraduate curriculum that, among other things, will teach their students how race, gender and sexual orientation "connect to larger systems of power, privilege and oppression." The classes, which include "Identity 101" and "Entering into, Engaging with and Exiting...
