That’s Comrade John Conyers in my book.

The Reddest in the good old fashioned Commie sense of the word.

This goes “good” with the Mayor Kilpatrick mess.

Somehow sludge is the perfect metaphor for this couple of gutter politicians.

This is going to go deep. This is all connected to Team Kilpatrick selling off parcels of City owned land, cheap, to outside “investors”. “Investors”, made up of family and friends of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (Democrat). In fact, one of these investment companies has Bernard Kilpatrick, Kwame’s Dad, on the board. The land is sold cheap to “Investors” who then turn around and resell at higher prices.

Keep an eye on this scandal. It has legs...legs that tie in Conyers and Governor Jennie Granholm (Also a Democrat)

Know you know why Michigan is in the crapper.

As always, one can predict they will come out smelling like roses with the constituents there. They are mere victims in the parade of accusations to the people there that control the plurality of votes in Michigan.

Methinks none of this stuff goes anywhere beyond some jagged news stories here and there.

Mildred Gaddis has this girl on her Detroit Talk Show one morning for over an hour.

What an articulate amazing young women and back handedly it make Monica Conyers look like an even bigger fool.

My fear this Sludge deal on top off all the other scandals will kill all chances of an expanded Cobo Hall and we loose the North American International Auto Show.

Worst housing market in the nation, 20 month housing supply, the Big 3 are hurting and now this....

We here in Michigan are so screwed by these buffoons, no one wants to do business in MI because of so many reasons, but the corruption will be the last nail in our economic coffin......

I did watch it. That little girl is as marvelous as conyer’s wife is pitiable. She is a treasure to be protected
educated and nurtured to make certain she reaches adulthood in uncorrupted safety. Obviously her parents and that school know what they’re doing.

Detroit has become America’s Zimbabwe.

True dat:

The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit
It can NOT be corrected so long as miscreants, welfare leaches, criminals, dysfunctional addicts and illiterates retain the vote.

Trust me, you ain't seen nuttin' yet:

Of U.S. Children Under 5, Nearly Half Are Minorities
In all seriousness, your assertion "can NOT be corrected" applies to the USA as a whole: Owing to dysgenic fertility & the graying of the infertile Caucasian boomers, America, as we knew her, cannot persist much longer than about 2020.

Circa 2020, America will either degenerate into something like Zimbabwe/North Korea, or else there will be various secessionist movements which will tear her apart at the seams.

No - dysgenic fertility is the nail in your coffin.

The bad people made more babies than the good people

And there's not a dadgum thing you can do about it at this point - the time to act was 40 or 50 years ago, when chemical & surgical abortions were first decriminalized, and white people stopped making babies.

All you can do now is to start eyeing a lifeboat to jump in when the great ship of state hits the iceberg in about a decade.

Kansas said that we were "Dust in the Wind", but the truth is that we're rats on a sinking boat who need to start thinking about whether we have enough energy to make the swim to shore, or whether we're gonna drown along with everyone else.
