An official-looking envelope arrived in the mail on Friday. It came from the Voter Participation Center — a shadowy left-wing group — and contained threatening language. “Remember, who you vote for is private, but whether or not you voted is public record,” wrote VPC President Tom Lopach in the letter. “We’re sending this mailing to you and your neighbors to share who does and does not vote in an effort to promote election participation.” The mailer was addressed to my wife. It included a chart with her name, our Michigan address, and her supposed voting record from 2016 to 2022....

During an interview with UpNorthLive News on Friday, 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) responded to a question on attempts by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) to thwart pipeline projects in the state by saying that “we need to create good-paying jobs. We need to make sure that we’re tackling energy prices. But we also need to make sure that we’re protecting the natural resources,” “And, as the states deal with this, the Vice President and I are committed to making sure that we’re dealing with all those issues, good-paying jobs, price of energy, but,...

With polls showing Vice President Harris and former President Trump locked in a dead heat as the 2024 race for the White House enters its final hours, the fate of the nation will turn on seven battleground states. These swing states have a combined 93 electoral votes. Some are longtime pillars of the so-called Democratic “blue wall,” which Trump demolished in 2016. Others are staples of the Republican coalition President Biden clawed away in 2020. With no pandemic, there will be fewer mail-in ballots this year — which could yield a winner much sooner than in 2020, when the race...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a member of the progressive faction in the House referred to as the “Squad,” refused to back Vice President Kamala Harris during a Michigan United Auto Workers rally just days ahead of the election. With union workers forming a critical component of the Democratic base, Tlaib joined Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in rallying supporters in Detroit on Friday evening in a bid to shore up blue party support in the battleground state. Yet while Jayapal and Ocasio-Cortez urged workers to vote for Harris, Tlaib never mentioned her name. Tlaib has been a...

NEW: Our report tonight on @OutFrontCNN — The Harris campaign is targeting Jews in PA and Arabs in Michigan with entirely different messages on Gaza. PA ads highlight her support for Israel's "ability to defend itself," while Michigan ads say "she will not be silent" on Gaza.

Ford Motor Company is halting production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck at a Michigan factory, the auto giant announced Thursday. Just three years ago, President Joe Biden and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D., Mich.) visited the plant to celebrate the truck's rollout, calling it an "incredible facility" that shows there's "no limit to what American ingenuity and manufacturing can accomplish." Ford—which, like other major automakers, has struggled to keep its EV business afloat—will shutter the Dearborn, Michigan, manufacturing plant beginning on Nov. 18 and until Jan. 6, 2025. "We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales...

Former President Donald Trump became the first major party presidential candidate to visit Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, venturing into the majority-Arab and predominantly Muslim town, which had once been hostile territory. Trump’s message there was simple: he is asking for the people’s vote, and he is promising peace in the Middle East. The former president received a raucous welcome inside a restaurant, with fans shouting: “The best president ever!” Journalists, following Trump, shouted questions. “What about the Muslim ban?” one yelled, referring to Trump’s travel ban on terror-prone states (which was never a Muslim ban, an idea he proposed on...

The CRCNA (Christian Reformed Church in North America) is a historically conservative denomination in the process of being eaten alive by famished and bad-faith progressives, and they are barely fighting back. Like a wildebeest that quietly lets lions tear chunks out of its hindquarters with half-hearted resistance, so too has the CRCNA been being attacked and put upon by LGBTQ-loving liberals, slowly being drained of the lifeblood of Christ. We saw this defeatism most evidently in 2022, when their flagship school, Calvin University, made a devil’s deal with gay-affirming staff and professors. The school’s board of trustees voted to allow...

Israel confirmed Thursday that its soldiers had killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during a battle the day before in Gaza. That would have been impossible if President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had their way. Nevertheless, Biden tried to take credit in a statement welcoming Sinwar’s death on Sunday: Shortly after the October 7 massacres, I directed Special Operations personnel and our intelligence professionals to work side-by-side with their Israeli counterparts to help locate and track Sinwar and other Hamas leaders hiding in Gaza. With our intelligence help, the IDF relentlessly pursued Hamas’s leaders, flushing them out of...

Former President Donald Trump is attracting massive crowds as the election barrels down and he travels coast to coast. Trump has taken no days off, traveling across the country and sometimes holding multiple events a day. He’ll be in more states. On Thursday, he’s literally traveling all over the country, hitting every single battleground state — Pennsylvania, Georgia, again, he’ll be in North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin — all over the next seven days,” Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily earlier this week. “So it’s a busy schedule. We’ve been...

Campaign seasons rarely provide opportunities to discuss issues, but the last week of the 2024 election has yielded a surprisingly enlightened discussion — on the left — about who is to blame for the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The first comments came from Van Jones, the veteran left-wing community organizer who is a strident partisan on cable news panels but also one of the few people who will speak honestly about the Democrats’ weaknesses as well. Jones appeared on Jonah Platt’s new podcast, Being Jewish, to discuss the relationships between blacks and Jews. At one point, he made the rare but...

Former New York Governor Cuomo is finally being held accountable for his actions and directives during the COVID crisis starting in 2020. Back in May 2020 TGP reported that New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, MD and Executive Deputy Commissioner Sally Dreslin’s actions led to thousands of deaths in New York state. Yaacov Apelbaum at the Illustrated Primer shared that these New York politicians were accountable for thousands of nursing home deaths because of their insane directives related to the China coronavirus. Apelbaum first pointed out the ludicrous directive from New York’s Department of Health, including: During...

A frail-looking Bill Clinton called out “young Arab Americans” in a hoarse defense of Israel’s deadly war against Hamas in Gaza during a stump speech in Michigan — a swing state with a large Arab population, which has made Israel policy a major issue. “The hardest issue here in Michigan is the Middle East,” Clinton, 78, shakily told the crowd at a “Souls to the Polls” event in Muskegon Heights in western Michigan Wednesday morning, according to Michigan Live. “I understand why young Palestinians and Arab Americans here in Michigan think too many people have died. I get that,” he...

Former President Bill Clinton said the “economy was better” under former President Donald Trump during a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Muskegon Heights, Michigan, adding that people should still vote for Harris. “I don’t think it’s right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better then,” Clinton said in what rallygoers seemingly perceived as a pro-Trump slip, as the 42nd president’s remark elicited groans from the audience. But Clinton stressed that people should still vote for Harris, even though the economy was better under Trump. Clinton also said, “I think I’m...

Former President Trump lashed out at prominent critic former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), calling her a “Muslim-hating warmonger” during a campaign event in Michigan on Saturday. “Kamala is campaigning with Muslim-hating warmonger, Liz Cheney, who wants to invade practically every Muslim country on the planet. And let me tell you the Muslims of our country, they see it, and they know it,” Trump said at a rally in Novi, Mich. “Her father was responsible for invading the Middle East, killing millions of Arabs – millions – and this is the one that Kamala is campaigning with,” he continued, referring to...

In September 2024, we reported that data experts Tim Vetter, Data Lead for United Sovereign Americans, and Phani Mantravadi of Check My Vote identified 6,126 duplicate votes on the August primary voter rolls. Later, 6,017 of the duplicate votes curiously disappeared from the voter rolls after our reporting, while 109 duplicate votes remained in the October vote history. “Our Secretary of State has a record of scrubbing the voter rolls after the media and election integrity groups bring it to their attention.” ... From our September 2024 article: A STUNNING analysis of voter history records by Michigan data expert Tim...
