Thank you all so much for the enormous feedback regarding the Employer Advisor. We will review your thoughtful ideas and incorporate some of your suggestions in the months to come.

Hopefully, you’ve heard that the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) has determined that over 55,000 claimants will not have to pay back approximately $431 million in overpayments of federal pandemic unemployment benefits that the agency previously determined to have been improperly awarded.  To date the UIA has waived over $4.3 billion in overpayment debt for more than 400,000 claimants with more to come. We are working hard for all Michiganders.

House Passes ‘White Supremacism’ Domestic Terrorism Bill After Buffalo Shooting

House Passes ‘White Supremacism’ Domestic Terrorism Bill After Buffalo Shooting

  • The bill only mentions white supremacy and neo-Nazis because obviously, those are the only people who terrorize others. Posted by Mary Chastain

...Domestic terrorism only means white supremacy in this bill.

The bill creates:

  • Domestic Terrorism Unit in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis of the Department of Homeland Security
  • Domestic Terrorism Office in the Counterterrorism Section of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice.
  • Domestic Terrorism Section within the Counterterrorism Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Reports submitted to Congress by said agencies will include (emphasis mine):

(A) an assessment of the domestic terrorism threat posed by White supremacists and neo-Nazis, including White supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies and the uniformed services; and..."

Abortion advocates of faith insist 'God is on their side,' claim the view that abortion is murder is just the product of a 'white evangelical worldview' - TheBlaze

Should the Supreme Court follow through with its anticipated decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and thus significantly roll back abortion rights in the United States, many Christians across the country would celebrate and praise God for bestowing his grace and favor. Pro-life advocates, many of whom are Christians, have fought for decades to defend the lives of the unborn and restrict the performance of abortions in the U.S., something they argue is clear and unjustifiable murder.

As america sleeps....-----CNN's Eye is on the Sparrow - American Thinker

CNN's Eye is on the Sparrow - American Thinker  By Clarice Feldman

"Jack Sparrow, that is, the movie pirate played by Johnny Depp, whose defamation suit against his ex-wife Amber Heard is full of the kind of meaningless salacious nonsense CNN’s declining viewership is capable of focusing on. 
For grownups, another trial in nearby Washington, D.C. is of far greater import, the trial of Michael Sussmann, but as Professor Charles Lipson notes on Facebook:  I scanned through 2 hours of CNN coverage. No mention of the Sussmann trial at all (as usual) and no mention of Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook’s unexpected revelation that Hillary herself approved spreading the false Alfa bank story….  If CNN covered the revelation on other shows, please let me know. Otherwise, it looks like they are news undertakers, not reporters.

For those whose local press is as focused on nonsense as CNN, let me recap the significance of this week’s proceedings instituted by special counsel John Durham after a lengthy investigation into the origins of the Russian hoax, which was generated and promoted by Hillary Clinton to advance her election and which, after she lost, served to tie up President Trump and his administration with investigations and impeachments. The indictment was a detailed 26-page outline indictment of the case which is now ongoing..."
