LANSING — In a year in which education debate has been dominated by Republican culture-war attacks — from LGBTQ inclusivity to the teaching of critical race theory — Democrats swept contested races on Tuesday in a slate of university and K-12 board races in Michigan.

Democrats Pamela Pugh and Mitchell Robinson took two contested seats on the State Board of Education, which sets education standards for Michigan schools. Their victories maintained a Democratic majority on the board, and denied openings to Republican candidates who argued that schools were indoctrinating students in communist, Marxist and “perverted” ideologies.

Democrats also took the two contested seats on each of the governing boards for the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University, according to unofficial results from all 83 counties.

Republican activists and parents groups had framed the state’s education debate this election year on “parental rights,” seeking to rid the public schools of so-called “woke” ideology on race, history and other subjects, while also saying they were frustrated by schools that they felt weren’t transparent about lesson plans and diversity initiatives.

To be sure, a number of parental rights candidates secured positions on local school boards Tuesday. But on board openings put to statewide votes, they were shut out.

All the Republican signs lining the main street in my little northern Michigan village ....

Are all completely gone today, every last one! Ha ha ha ha! Well, that didn't take long for my poor misguided neighbors to tuck their tails between their legs and put their losers' signs in the trash! I'll be driving by their houses and laughing mightily for the next week or so, for sure! Pure, lovely, delicious schadenfreude is a dish best served HOT!

The world's worst scam artist ain't who you think it is.

Yes, Donald "Pathological Liar" Trump is one helluva lying scammer, but even he cannot hold a candle to the true King of Cons, the Viscount of Vaporware, the Prince of Ponzi schemes; ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the biggest scam artist the world may ever know: Elon Musk -- BUSTED: [link:

The whoppers he has told and continues to tell are absolutely astounding, as are his promised "new technological advances," and, like his hero DJT, he continually gets away with it all.

We are going backwards as a nation.

We are going backwards as a nation. My wife and I are in our early 60s. We were lamenting today that the Republicans and religious wack jobs have managed to turn the clock back 50 years. What the hell happened? How did it come to this? I am so disheartened on where we’re going as a country.

A short missive from Northwest Michigan

I’m not sure what this is worth but I live in Traverse City these days. I see two Biden signs for every Trump sign. I’ve only seen one Maggat hat in the last six months. I think Northwest Michigan is going for Biden. That is progress!

WTF is on CNN right now? "Finding Jesus" but it should be "Dishing out Xian BS."

Just tuned in but CNN is treating the Gospels as complete fact. What crap!
