When the afternoon of January 20, 2017 arrives, the Republican Party will have:
1) The Presidency.
2) A majority of the House of Representatives.
3) A majority of the Senate.
4) Almost two-thirds of all the governorships.
5) Total control of the statehouses in almost two-thirds of all the states.
And in the near future, Republicans will be able to add:
6) A majority of the Supreme Court.
The above has NEVER happened before in American history. Think about that and let it sink in for a moment... And it's all because of one reason: Barack Obama's forcing his extreme far-left agenda on an unwilling country by executive orders, left wing judges, and obsequious bureaucrats. (Thanks, Larry)

It has only been two weeks since Christmas, and already we are witnessing a stunning bloodbath of store closings. Macy's shocked the retail industry by announcing that they will be closing about 100 stores. The downward spiral of Sears hit another landmark when it was announced that another 150 Sears and Kmart stores would be shutting down. Sears is down 2052 stores since 2010! And we have just learned that The Limited is immediately closing all stores nationwide. If the U.S. economy is doing just fine, then why are we experiencing such a retail apocalypse?

++ Pay to Play ending for Clintons -"discontinuation of the Clinton Global Initative,"
2017 is going to be a very bad year for the Clinton's and their "charitable" foundation. As donations from the Saudi's and other nations have dried up, the truth behind the motives of the "donors" have become increasingly clear. The foundation's donors were all about "pay-to-play," and now that neither Hillary or Bill wield any political power, nations who supposedly donated to the crooked Clinton Foundation to "help" the poor and oppressed have all but disappeared. Gone are the days that foreign nations are able to buy a seat next to influential players in Obama's crooked government or at state dinners...and as those opportunities disappear so have the donors. So the announcement that the Clinton Global Initiative is being shut down shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. More (Thanks, Patty)

++ Repeal Income Tax! During the first day of the Michigan House's new session, amid the ceremonial swearing in of representives, a bill was introduced a bill to reduce and eventually eliminate the state's personal income tax.
"This is simply the right thing to do for Michigan's families," said Speaker Tom Leonard, R-DeWitt, in a press release."...This is the people's money, not ours. Michigan has turned a corner, our economy is booming, and there is even a budget surplus. I'm excited to join my colleagues, offer the best way forward, undo the mistakes of the past and return hundreds of millions of dollars back to the people who earned them in the first place."
The bill,HB 4001, was introduced by Rep. Lee Chatfield, R-Levering. It would roll back the state's income tax to 3.9 percent in 2018, and decrease it by 0.1 percent each year beginning in 2019 until it reached zero. (THAT WOULD TAKE 40 YEARS!!!!)

++ Election Fraud in Detroit Looks 'Organized, and Government Involved'Judge Napolitano: County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News after ballot irregularities were discovered revealed that 37 percent of Detroit precincts registered more votes than voters during the election.
Jill Stein's recount efforts in Michigan have uncovered what looks like systemic election fraud in Detroit, where roughly 95% of the votes cast were cast for Hillary Clinton. Sixty percent of precincts in Wayne County had to be disqualified from the statewide recount because of "irregularities." According to Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, those irregularities look "organized" and "government involved."
Overall, state records show 10.6 percent of the precincts in the 22 counties that began the retabulation process couldn't be recounted because of state law that bars recounts for unbalanced precincts or ones with broken seals.
The problems were the worst in Detroit, where discrepancies meant officials couldn't recount votes in 392 precincts, or nearly 60 percent. And two-thirds of those precincts had too many votes.

. The USA has the most expensive education in the World at about $15,171 a student each year (a 26% increase in five years), but is 34th in overall quality. An enormous increase in funding over the last couple decades has not improved quality.
How much should it cost for a quality K-12 education?
Would you continue to ask for more money?
How would you improve quality without increasing costs?

2.
A typical 5th grader in Weisbaden, Germany with get 50% more instructional hours than a typical public school 5th grader in the USA. Students in many other countries even get more. Some of these countries show better results. Would you advocate more instructional contact in public schools, comparable to that of more successful countries? How would you implement that?
3. A teacher's salary in many states is higher than a typical two-earner family, despite the significant amount of time off during the year. In your home state it is about 170% of per capita income. Likewise, school employees typically have much better fringe benefits and retirements. In many states the "legacy" costs are a multi-billion dollar debt that faces taxpayers. Is this a problem and how should this be addressed?
4. In many states there are many more non-teaching positions than teaching ones. In your home state the ratio is 118 to 100. Some of this is imposed by Federal standards and reporting responsibilities - mandated unfunded burdens. Is this of concern to you, and how would you address it?
5. Information illustrates that class size does not predict outcomes. In your home state the 2nd best secondary school - in your home county - had a 29:1 student teacher ratio. The 5th and 18th best in your state have a 39:1 ratio. What is your take on this, and do you intend to put pressure on class sizes? (see slides in attached PPT).
6. In your home state a couple years ago of 829 public secondary schools there were 230 that did not graduate even one college ready student based upon SAT scores. What should the Federal government do, if anything, to address this problem? What have you done about it in your home state, and with what results?
7. Despite huge increases in spending Federal funding typically amounts to less than about $900 a student per year, less than 10%. Despite that, the Federal Department of Education has regulated and demanded reporting and other overheads that burden the budget and control the agenda and curriculum in many instances. Would you allow a local school district or state to option out of the Federal oversight in exchange for declining the Federal money?
8. In many European countries a K-4 teacher is required to have two years of higher education instruction. Additional credit hours do not guarantee better instruction, and do not mean automatic raises. Given their better performance, should we emulate that more successful model?
9. Higher education costs have soared since student loans have been guaranteed by the Federal government. Their appears to be no justification for this, as outcomes have not improved. Many graduates now have huge student loans outstanding but cannot get a good job in their major.
What would you do as Secretary of Education to address this problem?
What is your plan for these student loans and the prospects that they will fall on the taxpayers?

++ Senate kicks off 2017 with bills to repeal prevailing wage. Senate bills 1, 2 and 3 would repeal the state's prevailing wage laws, and they've got support from A, B and C. The Association of Builders and Contractors, that is.
The state's prevailing wage law applies union-level wages to job sites for public projects like schools and government buildings. The Associated Builders and Contractors have supported its repeal, including through a
failed ballot proposalin 2015. "For years, our schools, universities, and state government have been forced to overspend taxpayer dollars on construction projects, instead of hiring the best company for the best price," said Jeff Wiggins, State Director of ABC.
One other indicator of this being a big priority is that Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, is a bill sponsor, along with Sen. Peter MacGregor, R-Rockford and Sen. David Robertson, R-Grand Blanc.

++ Republican state Sen. Jack Brandenburg said he is preparing sweeping legislation to eliminate Michigan's personal income tax, arguing a "game changer" is needed to help retain and draw new residents in the face of sluggish population growth. Brandenburg argues scrapping the income tax would boost the state economy by giving residents more disposable income to spend at Michigan businesses. The second-term Harrison Township Republican plans to introduce legislation this month and convene a work group to consider tax policy options.
As part of his plan to scrap the state's 4.25 percent personal income tax, Brandenburg told The Detroit News he may propose to increase the state's 6 percent sales tax to offset some of the anticipated revenue loss from killing the income tax. He anticipates budget cuts would also be necessary.
"After six years of tax increases, working families and seniors absolutely deserve a tax break from this administration," Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint said.
Michigan collected more than $9.3 billion in personal income taxes in the 2016 fiscal year, according to the non-partisan Senate Fiscal Agency. It was the largest single source of revenue for the state.
Most income tax revenue goes toward the state's general fund, which is used to pay for various government functions. Roughly 30 percent goes to the School Aid Fund for K-12 education. Sales taxes generated about $7.3 billion last fiscal year, by comparison, with roughly 73 percent going to schools, 16 percent to the general fund and 10 percent to local units of government.

COMMENT: We want to help!!!
With all due respects, Governor, That is not the most important issue. What is State government doing it does not have to do? What can you cut? When will you implement a zero-based review of budgets, contracts and expenditures? Why are you paying contractors 25%+/- more than you need to through artificial "prevailing wages"? When will state employee compensation and benefits come in line with those you supposedly serve? Why give a billion dollar$ a year to certain favored businesses and individuals? Why keep up the appearance (and costs) of full time legislature at full pay, that has sessions less than 90 days a year? Why does every legislator need to have an office with a view of the Capitol? Why keep increasing education budgets $250 million each year when student population is decreasing by thousands of students and quality is flat-lined? The list could go on. The fact of the matter is, the Michigan State Government has become bloated and wasteful and more intrusive under Republican leadership. It is not a good legacy.
