Ebola Doctor Declared Hero On Veterans Day, Not Veterans - Ebola Doctor Not A Hero

The real heroes are the veterans who defend our nation, not doctors that do not self quarantine themselves after they come back to America from being in areas with deadly diseases, such as Ebola.

Craig Spencer
Earlier today applause greeted New York Dr. Craig Spencer as he spoke publicly for the first time after being cured of Ebola.

Wearing a blue sweater and smiling during the press conference at New York's Bellevue Hospital, the Spencer seemed to be the picture of health after less than a month since he was diagnosed with the deadly Ebola Virus.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (Democrat) welcomed Spencer back to his "normal life."

Spencer stood beside the mayor. De Blasio urged him to give the mayor's wife a hug. Then, de Blasio and Spencer hugged.

It's a "good feeling to hug a hero," de Blasio said.

However Craig Spencer is not a hero.  He, through his selfish actions, put millions at risk when he returned from Africa. 

His first few days had Dr. Spencer riding the subways and going bowling even the day he became visibly ill with the virus!  His actions created the term Ebowling.

If Dr. Spencer was truly a hero, he would have done the right thing and quarantined himself for 21 days to make sure he did not bring the virus back with him.  He did not take this necessary protocol and because of this, he is not a hero and should not be treated as such.

The real heroes are those that are going over to Africa to fight Ebola and are quarantining themselves to not get the general public contaminated. 


I do hope that Dr. Spencer is aware that the virus is still in him for at least another 3 months.  In men the virus remains in their reproductive system for 3 months and the virus can still be spread through the exchange of fluids.

39 Years Ago today the Edmund Fitzgerald Sank During A Historical Storm System In The Great Lakes


The mighty 729 foot long Edmund Fitzgerald was one of the largest ships ever to run in the Great Lakes but a weather event of historical proportions sunk the ship 35 years ago today, on November 10, 1975. The ship was located a week later at the bottom of Lake Superior, but to this day not one body was ever recovered.

An intense low pressure developed in the plains and moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Winds were sustained out of the east and northeast at 40 to 50 mph with waves up to 10 feet high causing major problems for ship traffic early on November 10, 1975.

By late afternoon the low pressure moved over the Lake and into Canada driving the winds out of the northwest which then gusted up to 80 mph over the open lake. This caused waves to crash on to the ship at more than 25 feet high. All of this was taking place as intense rain mixed and then changed over to very heavy snow and sub-freezing temperatures. The raging super blizzard on an unforgiving Lake Superior doomed the ship and left a mark on the history books. The weather records were recorded very well by a ship only 10 miles away from the Anderson.

Squatting on the Squatter

Detroit homeowner Sarah Hamilton wanted to sell her house,
but was having some trouble.

No, it wasn’t a down seller’s market — it was a squatter.

Hamilton had a difficult battle: In the process of trying to
get Lynn Williams out her house, WJBK-TV reported Hamilton was threatened with a knife.

Then police were called, at which point Lynn Williams said Sarah Hamilton
had tried running her over with a vehicle.



The homeowner, Sarah Hamilton was arrested, and with that,
the squatter. Lynn Williams went right back to squatting.


Things got quite things interesting after WJBK reporter Charlie LeDuff entered the scene. He met with the homeowner, Sarah Hamilton and her attorney, and was given a set of keys and as well as the deed and lease paperwork 

When the Charlie LeDuff  arrived at the house and met Willams , he told he/her that he had the keys, the deed, and permission from the landlord to move in, the squatter appearedconfused, ”Let you in ‘your house’? This is Lynn Williams’ house.”

LeDuff asked Lynn Williams why she/h felt entitled to live
in a house she didn’t own without permission.

“Well…I’m not the only one that is squatting. It’s a lot of
other people on the block, if you want to be technical,”  Lynn Williams responded. “And a lot of people
encouraged me to do what I’m doing now.”

Charlie LeDuff came back again with facts: “But this isn’t
your house”

“But I have put a lot of work in here and I spent a lot of
money,” Williams replied. “I am on a fixed income.” Indeed, Williams claimed she was on social security — for an ailment she couldn't verify.


Charlie then spotted some curious electrical wiring connected to a neighbor’s house.

“Is that power legit?”  He asked. 


Williams responded “I am blessed”.  


Then the Detroit police pull and Charlie LeDuff tells Williams.  "I don't think you are going to get away with this."

Federal Appeals Court Upholds Anti-Gay Marriage Law In 4 States

Today a federal appeals court in Cincinnati upheld anti-gay marriage laws in four states breaking ranks with other courts that have considered the issue and setting up the prospect of Supreme Court review.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that heard arguments on gay marriage bans or restrictions in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee on Aug. 6 split 2-1, with Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton writing the majority opinion. The ruling creates a divide among federal appeals courts, increasing the likelihood the Supreme Court will now take up the issue.

Michigan pastor Stacy Swimp was enthusiastic about the ruling Thursday.

"I'm very happy that the courts decided to uphold the voting rights
Stacy Swimp
of 2.7 million voters who under the Michigan and the U.S. constitutions exercised their voting rights," said Swimp of the National Christian Leadership Council and a member of the National Coalition of Black Pastors and Christian Leaders, which filed amicus briefs in the case opposing gay marriage. "No court had the right to usurp their God-given rights."

The 64-page ruling notes four courts have upheld same-sex unions, but for different reasons in each case.

"Even if we … assume that same-sex marriage will be recognized one day in all fifty states, that does not tell us how — whether through the courts or through democracy. And if through the courts, that does not tell us why," the opinion states.

The ruling says "process and structure matter greatly in American government" and laws passed by voters shouldn't be overturned on a whim. The issue should not be settled by a "poll of three judges on this panel … about whether gay marriage is a good idea."

The court also said the traditional perception of marriage cannot simply be overruled.

"A dose of humility makes us hesitant to condemn as unconstitutionally irrational a view of marriage shared not long ago by every society in the world, shared by most, if not all, of our ancestors, and shared still today by a significant number of states," the ruling states.

Attorney General Bill Schuette said he's ready when and if the case will  to the Supreme Court.



"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit has ruled, and Michigan's constitution remains in full effect," Schuette said. "As I have stated repeatedly, the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word on this issue. The sooner they rule, the better, for Michigan and the country."




More than 300 couples received marriage licenses in several
Michigan counties, including Dick Devos’ Michigan Gubernatorial campaign manager and current Director of the political pact Michigan Freedom Fund  Greg McNeilly before an appeals judge imposed a stay.

Is Richard Bernstein Running For Supreme Court Justice or Lawyer?

Another reason why Richard Bernstein is not
qualified for Supreme Court, he doesn't understand the position. 

In his commercial he states that his ready to fight for all but then in the next breath says big corporations, insurance companies and wealthy have their attorneys, so let me be your judge. 

So I guess all does not mean corporations, insurance companies or wealthy business owners. 

That is not what a Supreme Court Justice or any justice does. 

They are supposed to represent all equally big or small. They are supposed to follow rule of law, not make up the law as they go along. 
Only the legislature can make law. 

Richard's Supreme Court television ad sounds more like an ad for his family's law firm than that of a candidate for Supreme Court.


Radio Host Lambastes Michigan Gubernatorial Candidate Mark Schauer On His Lies

Mark Schauer
Mark Schauer continues to lie to the people of Michigan.  His biggest lie is that current Governor Rick Snyder took $1 Billion from school funding in this state.  Many newspapers including the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press confirm that Mark is not being truthful.  


Now add to the list WJR 760AM Detroit radio host Paul W. Smith.  Paul wrote a scathing editorial in the Nov 1st edition of the Detroit news.  Here is what he said:


Paul W Smith
My biggest frustration is the possible success of a most dishonest (though effective) campaign by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Schauer. I begged him to talk substantively about what he would do if he becomes governor, even to tell us any number of things he doesn’t like about what Gov. Rick Snyder has done, but please stop repeating over and over the lie that the governor has “cut a billion dollars” from Michigan school funding.

 It just did not happen.

 In life, no matter how many times you tell a lie, it doesn’t make it true.

 Unfortunately, in a political campaign, the truthfulness of a claim is not nearly as important as the effectiveness of the damage of that claim against an opponent. 

It’s up to you to set the record straight.
