I cheated. I read the story last PM instead of saving it for this morning.
Another perfect story that commands the attention of our elected officials. Unfortunately, "they" seem to follow him so closely, they crawl behind to pick up his crumb. I thank Ms Howard for her dilligence in keeping us aware of the other things he does that negatively effects all of us, not just Michiganders. I suggest we take your lead and share your stories with the elected officials so they can have an understanding of the damage he's doing to us!
Appreciate this expressive & passionate column! I learned something about our form of federal gov't in my many Oakland University political science classes, and studied how the executive branch is always trying to grab more power. In normal times our US congress members would fight back vigorously, but not so much any more. So, Phoebe, if I'm correct, we share a commonality with our US Congresswoman Lisa McClain representing our 9th US District in Michigan. Q. Have you attempted to interview her? Whenever I've spoken to her congressional office staff they seem to be receptive to listening to the loyal opposition like me. That'd be a good conversation to have. If you see her X/Twitter postings, she's pretty much a Pres. Trump sycophant, which is pretty darn sad for the state of our democracy, especially with her being elected in a 'safe' Republican majority district She holds a top #3 position within the Republican Party ranks in the US Congress. Actually, I highly suggest that you send her a copy of this informative column to her constituent rep. staff member Muhammad Sudi who works in her Lake Orion congressional office. His email address is: Muhammed.Smidi@Mail.House.Gov. I'm sure Rep. McClain will welcome your point of view. Maybe, you can convince her to do a townhall up in Port Huron. I'd certainly would want to attend that for sure! Thanks Phoebe, take care-
You might consider forwarding the column as a constituent. That carries more weight with any congressional staff. As for a town hall, well, Lisa McClain hasn't held an event in the district yet. And it's not my role to request one. She seems to think TV appearances do the trick. And based on her winning 66.8% of the vote in 2024, folks seem to agree.
Always learn from your writing.Maybe Trump saw the movie and his interest in acquiring Canada came from Michael Moore.
Ironic, if so. The additional information on Truman's affection for Port Huron adds more to my interest in him. A highlight of 2024 was touring the Truman Library; so many current events are linked to the Truman administration. Truman,unlike Trump, was for building America for the common man and woman. Elbows up Canada, you have every right to distrust the Trump administration.
If the Trump administration were to use military force to seize control over Greenland, wouldn’t NATO be required to respond to protect them? For that matter, as a member nation, wouldn’t we technically be violating the charter and forced to fight ourselves, as well? How is that done, a circular line of fire? Is it any wonder why the world thinks we’ve gone nuts?
It’s sad to see the propaganda so easily manipulate people like a flock of starlings.
There’s more about their government and “owner“
Has anyone ever noticed that the media only focuses on divisions? There are good people, intelligent people in Canada that understand the true structure of what’s going on in their government and fully understand what being part of America is and its value and has nothing to do with Donald Trump. It has to do with the Canadian people. But everyone makes it about shallow differences, which is the most ridiculous shit that I keep seeing. No understanding of the governing situations going on whatsoever and the dark players that had nothing but evil in store for the people in this American nation and the Canadian nation and many others.
There are scenarios that are real beyond what has ever been mentioned in the media and they do it on purpose. You do not know what you do not know. You are about to see some of that reality crack the surface if any of these media clowns has any will at all to share.
Perhaps none of you know what’s actually going on around you. It’s been very easy to keep it from people with a handful of centralized canned media resources.
Do any of you understand that Canada was considered, and I believe included in the original article articles of confederation at the beginning of this nation?
Your answers to the questions you’ve never asked are tucked back in time. Those are the early resources of what has gone on and what still remains.
This nation’s “news” resources are owned by the same lying blob that pay them to tell this nation of people what they want them to know but doesn’t mean we know anything at all. A carefully designed ignorance, ignorant of just the right stuff.And we continuously display this lack of knowledge and squabble over “emotional” nonsense.
Consider this.
Canada would have much to gain to be a United State and I believe there’s going to be others because they know how valuable it is to be United with our constitution and ideals. It’s bigger than social media. It’s about freedom. And that wonderful freedom and liberty being protected. They have tyranny over there. If you’ve heard otherwise that’s that lying blob I was telling you about. Those who lack acknowledge are weaponized against those who know and are trying to help.
Dear Mafdet17, While I always welcome feedback and input and differences of opinion, it’s hard to take seriously an anonymous poster who uses the term “lying blob” repeatedly and dismisses coverage of hard data obtained firsthand — and its economic impact — as conspiracy. Also, each state in our nation are not known as a United State. The United States is a collective of individual states, which are united.
Beg to differ with your last paragraph, especially!! Everything about our freedoms and our Constitution are in question right now because of Trump and his administration. Everything we hold dear (our freedoms and liberties) are being ripped out from under us daily. Canada has zero to gain by becoming the 51st state.
I just came across a few very good realities to share with you if you are bold enough to read them. If you disagree with this truth then your every single word has ZERO value.
Get real. It’s important.

Tim Allen wrote... Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party:
- Women are upset at Trump’s naughty words -- they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.
- Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal.
- No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more...
- Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.
- President Trump’s wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America!
- We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
- They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.
- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.
- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet!
- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?
- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.
- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don’t remember the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office.
- I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump’s approval ratings are low.
- “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”— Margaret Thatcher
- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
- President Trump said — "They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in their way."

So many interesting little morsels to share. Glad to know you enjoy them.
Note: Fascinating to see what presidential actions endure through history. Visiting the Truman Library would be lovely.

Expand your thinking .

Also, each state in our nation are not known as a United State. The United States is a collective of individual states, which are united.
Did you check out anything I shared?
How much research did you do based on “my different opinion”?
The thing is there are too many too sensitive about their small opinion.
Expand your thinking.

It’s about time the people start questioning the Constitution!!!
Thank God!!!
They might learn something we were never put in clear understanding!!!
You just sound angry about a narrative that’s sheer propaganda.
You are about to see the rats driven into the light.
Disagreeing can lead to great conversations and learning!!!
Canada will make its own choice and if people knew the truth, they will rejoice in such an agreement.
Who do you say “owns” Canada now?
You think their elections are true?
lol.
72 countries had elections stolen so those governments are NOT the will of their own people.
Stop listening to hateful divisive rhetoric.
It’s fruitless.
