"It should be deeply concerning that one of the suggested tactics is to enter schools to protest against policies they don’t like," continued Staley. "Putting children's education and safety at risk for political gain is unethical and immoral."

Base rules generally did not allow service members to openly carry personal firearms on base. Under Hegseth’s new directive, base commanders must approve service members’ requests to carry personal firearms on base so they can protect themselves.

Like too many other dem-controlled states!-----Michigan's Utility Regulator is Run Like a Dictatorship | Michigan Enjoyer

One of the many things Democrats cry about regularly these days is how we live in a dictatorship run by President Donald Trump. - Matt. St. Jean 

But here in Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has used her power unilaterally time and time again.
From Covid protocols that kept kids out of schools to putting sick seniors in care centers where she continues to falsify death counts, everyone in the state has felt the impact from her poor decision-making.

• Now in 2026, with one foot out the door, our globe-trotting governor’s appointees at the Michigan Public Service Commission, “voted” to allow raising the bills for every DTE customer by 4.6%, March 5—a burden increase of $242 million.
• Then on Feb. 24, the MPSC received notice from DTE’s lawyers that they will be seeking yet another rate hike this April, but—don’t worry—it won’t go into effect in 2027.
• Mind you, this all comes after the $217 million dollar rate hike in January 2025, also approved by the MPSC...
• On top of approving energy hikes, the Michigan Public Service Commission is also the final word on energy contracts for data centers, solar farms that ruin local municipalities and windmill farms that light up the night skies.

Thanks to PA 233, which was signed by Gov. Whitmer back in 2023, local towns are powerless when the billionaire-owned companies come to town and take our farmland.
That’s a dictatorship, no?

The theme of the speech was depression...
“The spread of depressive states has become disturbing,” he said. “They reveal human, psychological and spiritual frailties which, at least in part, are induced by society.”..
In fact, studies show that depression has risen significantly—especially in teens. 

As a teenager myself, this prompts a few questions.

• Why does the average modern teen show greater levels of anxiety than a psychiatric patient in the 1950s? 
• Why is the culture of my generation one of self-hatred and depression? 
• And seriously, why is crippling introversion the latest social fad?...
