Facebook Secretly Censored the Patriot Party to Kill It in the Crib
October 23, 2021While Rescue Michigan certainly does not support creating a new "Patriot Party" to divide the conservatives, the Wall Street Journal exposed how Facebook worked to censor those who did:
After the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, far-right activists launched an online campaign to form what they called a Patriot Party as an alternative to the Republican Party.Read the rest here.
Facebook Inc. worked to kill it, citing information it said showed the movement was being pushed by white nationalists and self-styled militias who had worked to instigate the riot, according to internal company documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Facebook engineers made it harder for organizers to share Patriot Party content, restricted the visibility of groups connected to the movement and limited “super-inviters” from recruiting new adherents, according to a March review.
“We were able to nip terms like Patriot Party in the bud before mass adoption,” said another memo.
Rashida Tlaib Admits She Only Wears Masks for the Cameras
October 6, 2021The Cult of the Mask is a total fraud, and all of the politicians supporting it know it.
From the Free Beacon:
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) thinks masks only need to be worn if someone is there to catch you without one, according to remarks caught on video during a Detroit community event.See the video here.
The "Squad" member told attendees at the event that she only wore a mask because a "Republican tracker" was filming her. After doing an event with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary Marcia Fudge on Monday, Tlaib conversed with a maskless attendee who mistakenly thought the Democrat scolded him for being "the one unmasked guy" in the area. Tlaib responded by insisting she only wore a mask because a "Republican tracker" was recording the exchange.
"Oh, no, oh, not you!" Tlaib said as she pulled her mask away from her face. "No, no, no—I'm just wearing it because I've got a Republican tracker here."
Gretchen Whitmer Coronavirus Vaccination Raffle Gimmick Falls 95% Short of Goal
July 14, 2021Embarrassing:
Eager to change the subject from her scandals, Whitmer held a festive press conference shortly before the July 4 holiday weekend, promising the chance to win millions in tax dollars to those who registered after they received a coronavirus vaccine, including $50,000 daily drawings.Pathetic – and a terrible waste of taxpayers' money.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Whitmer was aiming to use the gimmick to reach her goal of 70 percent of residents receiving at least one dose of the vaccine. The objective was to raise the rate by 9 percentage points, or 768,000 newly vaccinated Michiganders.
Alas, the scheme fell more than 95 percent short of its goal.
“We’re not seeing our numbers skyrocket like we hoped,” Kalamazoo County Health Officer Jim Rutherford lamented to NBC 25.
“We’re not seeing a terrible demand for the vaccine, and we’ve tried a lot of different approaches and I was hopeful that this lottery would increase that but just haven’t seen anything yet that would signify a significant increase.”
The news station noted such raffle gimmicks “did nothing to improve vaccination rates when compared to trends in other states.”

After Her Poll Numbers Drop 12 Points, Whitmer Rescinds All Covid Restrictions
June 19, 2021Big League Politics:
Whitmer is acting like this decision was made in response to the data and the science, but in actuality, her decision is nakedly political. She made the decision after plummeting in the polls and is reversing in an attempt to save her fledgling regime for another term.
Recent polling has shown that Whitmer is down a stunning 11 points to any generic Republican, a shocking drop of 12 points for the villainous governor. This follows a host of scandals including her murderous housing of COVID-19 patients in nursing homes and violation of her own edicts to party it up with friends while the little people suffered.
The firm that commissioned the survey, Cygnal, noted that their results are “based on a projected turnout model inline with historical midterm election voter trends.”
After Killing Them, Gretchen Whitmer Celebrates "Small Business Week"
May 10, 2021The hypocrisy is staggering:
“Small businesses support the economy, add vibrancy to our communities, and provide hundreds of thousands of jobs across Michigan,” she claimed. [...]
In December, Michigan Capitol Confidential reported over one-third — 35.8 percent — of Michigan’s small businesses closed in 2020, far higher than the national average of 28.9 percent.
Feds 'had secret backup plan to arrest Derek Chauvin at court if he was cleared of killing George Floyd"
April 30, 2021In case the judge, mass media, and mob hadn't done enough to secure his conviction, the feds were ready to bring new charges and arrest him immediately.
The government is fully on board with the mob, and more mob violence will be the inevitable result.
Ted Cruz Rejects Corporate PACS: "Your Woke Money Is No Good Here"
April 30, 2021Amazing statement Senator Ted Cruz makes in the Wall Street Journal:
[...]
Had these watch-me-woke-it-up CEOs actually read the bill—instead of parroting the radical left’s talking points—they’d have discovered they had no idea what they were talking about. A clutch of business leaders tried to win woke Twitter points and clowned themselves instead.
This is the point in the drama when Republicans usually shrug their shoulders, call these companies “job creators,” and start to cut their taxes. Not this time.
[...]
In my nine years in the Senate, I've received $2.6 million in contributions from corporate political-action committees. Starting today, I no longer accept money from any corporate PAC. I urge my GOP colleagues at all levels to do the same.
For too long, woke CEOs have been fair-weather friends to the Republican Party: They like us until the left's digital pitchforks come out. Then they run away.... Enough is enough. Corporations that flagrantly misrepresent efforts to protect our elections need to be called out, singled out and cut off.
California State Officials Coordinated with Big Tech to Censor Americans’ Election Posts
April 28, 2021Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 540 pages and a supplemental four pages of documents from the office of the Secretary of State of California revealing how state officials pressured social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Google (YouTube)) to censor posts about the 2020 election. Included in these documents were “misinformation briefings” emails that were compiled by communications firm SKDK, that lists Biden for President as their top client of 2020. The documents show how the state agency successfully pressured YouTube to censor a Judicial Watch video concerning the vote by mail and a Judicial Watch lawsuit settlement about California voter roll clean up...
Signatures Trigger Recall Election for California Gov. Gavin Newsom
April 27, 2021Breitbart:
California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber has announced that the threshold of verified signatures reported by counties has been met for the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom. The valid signatures in the 10th report are 1,626,042, which exceeds the total of 1,495,709 signatures required. Counties still have until April 29th to verify the validity of any remaining signatures.Michigan citizens, however, should note that the requirements for recall in California are much lower than in Michigan. It would take just over 1 million valid signatures to recall Gretchen Whitmer, about 2/3 as many as needed in California, a state with 4 times as many people. The signature drive to recall Gavin Newsom began in June of last year. Michigan law only allows for recall petitions to be signed in a 2-month period. In other words, recalling Gretchen Whitmer would take about 13 times the speed in collecting signatures that California had.
