  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    Be sure to give them an 'attaboy.'

    Regular readers know Michigan State Senator Kahn and a couple of others are on a watch list.  At times some of us have asked that you contact them in opposition to their "mistaken" positions regarding legislation.  Typically legislation that is neither conservative, or even remotely 'Republican' in its nature.

    If you happen to come across any these legislators during your calls, or emails, etc., be sure to give them a little positive feedback on one particular piece of legislation; 2011 SB 638.

    A bill to designate English as the official state language; to provide certain rights; and to provide the powers and duties of certain state and local agencies and officials.

    Senators KAHN, GREEN, COLBECK, WALKER, BRANDENBURG, HANSEN and PAPPAGEORGE are right on target in sponsoring this legislation that will save state government in a number of ways.

    This legislation comes before the Government  Operations Committee:

    Tuesday, November 8, 2011 @ 1:00 p.m.
    Rooms 402 and 403, Capitol Building,
    100 S. Capitol Avenue, Lansing, MI   48933

    Let them know you support it, and that it is about time.

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Before we forget

    What the heck is going on here?

    I can hardly keep up with the scandal laden atmosphere that apparently is still Michigan.  One piece of work that in my view has a prison sentence with the former governor's name all over it, is the forced unionization scam that was perpetrated on the very folks who could hardly realize in time what was happening much less have a chance to object.  A plan so deliberate and sinister, it took on a life that apparently continues to this day.

    What is going on I ask?!

    "For the state to operate a dubiously formed government entity that has been defunded by the Legislature seems unprecedented," said Patrick Wright, director of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation. "But such shenanigans aren't entirely surprising given the origination of this agency and the machinations to preserve it for the sake of skimming `union dues' from independent contractors."

    Wright was referring to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Mackinac Center that point to behind-the-scenes legislative efforts to keep the council operating by other means. Among the documents, emails indicate that Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw Twp., was particularly focused on maintaining MQCCC."


    Ah crap.  We have criminal activities on our side too?

    There can be only one way a republican could move to support what was at the least a vary BAD mistake, and more likely a collusive effort between a cash seeking union and our former governor. Victims were many, yet there are still those who wish to see more.

    Kahn? Fess up. Spill the beans on the shenanigans you and Richardville are involved in, and walk away with SOME form of dignity.  You are about to see a whole lot of fun here with your name on it.

    Your move.

    Ok.. maybe that's the way our state would like to continue the dialogue..  With reform stalled in the Senate, the legislators have gone home to their districts.  School pension reform could mean that a $118 cut per K-12 pupil would not happen for the 2011 school year. Per CapCon..

    A K-12 school aid budget recently passed by the Michigan Senate would use the savings from this plan to maintain the current year's per-pupil funding for Michigan's school districts. But without pension reform, the Senate funding plan would require a $118 per student cut for fiscal 2011.

    The stall however is in the Republican controlled senate, where an unholy alliance of certain republicans and the MEA has logjammed any forward progress.

    Breaking records I didn't even know existed

    Add one more dubious distinction to the record of accomplishment being racked up by the Granholm-Cherry administration.  This morning the Detroit News reports that for the first time in nearly three decades, new home construction in southeast Michigan has been outpaced by building demolition.  

    On top of that, residential building permits in southeast Michigan fell for a fourth straight year in 2008 -- the sharpest decline in more than 50 years, according to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.

    The bad news is that the proverbial "no one" is buying or building.  The good news, I suppose, is that hundreds of eye-sores, especially in the Motor City, are getting the old Eight Mile treatment.  Legally, of course.

    If only Detroit could disappear every eye sore that draws heaps of negative attention towards the city.  Alas, Congressman John Conyers' wife, Monica, may have plead guilty to accepting bribes but she still hasn't been sentenced. And apparently she isn't going away until someone PUTS her away.

    C'mon, Johnny Law.  Can't we speed up those wheels of justice?

    If I have to read about or listen to this woman try to cloak herself in pseudo-Gospel speak one more time I'm going to become a real-life "Bible Thumper," using the massive hardcover study Bible on my shelf to beat myself into peaceful oblivion.

    Kahn, Jones introduce legislation to protect worship services


    By Nick, Section News
    Posted on Fri Mar 06, 2009 at 12:02:32 PM EST

    Less than a week after the election of Barack Obama as the nation's first Dem President in nearly a decade a pro-gay-special rights group calling themselves "Bash Back!" invaded an evangelical church in Lansing, vandalizing the property, disrupting the service, running over worshipers and attempting to instigate physical confrontations.

    And that's just what happened OUTSIDE the bathroom where church security found two of the homosexual activists after police thought they'd cleared the campus.  (The image below was screen-grabbed from the website where they claimed credit for the attack.)

    RightMichigan was the first to tell you the story (which you can find HERE) but certainly wasn't the last.  Our coverage was discussed everywhere from WorldNet Daily to the Drudge Report and wound up shining a pretty bright spotlight on the liberals who'd commissioned and carried out the violent anti-Christian attack.

    Sadly, the libs claimed they weren't done and that similar church-targeted violence should be expected in the future.

    Now, several months later, some in the Michigan legislature are standing up and saying `not so fast.'

    Yesterday Senator Roger Kahn and Representative Rick Jones introduced legislation in each Michigan chamber increasing the penalties for church service invasions.  House Bill 4537 and Senate Bill 351 ratchet up the punishment for this sort of anti-religious behavior to a $5,000 fine on top of any additional criminal charges.

    The bills protect religious services across the board, in churches, synagogues and mosques.

    "Michigan must send a strong message that hoodlum-type behavior is not welcome in our state, and certainly not in our churches," Jones said.  "Freedom of Religion is one of our basic American rights and it must be protected.  By increasing the penalty for this shocking crime, we can effectively deter future demonstrations and allow people to worship in peace."

    Kahn said Michigan must enact this legislation to help maintain the sanctity of the state's places of worship.

    "This legislation is just plain common sense," said Sen. Kahn. "Our people expect and deserve the right to worship in peace.  Extremist groups who would be so insensitive as to interrupt a religious service should know that such behavior will not be tolerated."

    A quick listen to a liberal blogger's recorded interview with Bash Back!'s defacto spokesman makes it plain as day that the criminal penalties for trespassing and vandalism don't worry these Democratic extremists.  Hit them in the pocket-books, though, in this Granholm-Cherry economy?  That's going to pack a wallop.

    Props to Senator Kahn, Representative Jones and the folks who have already begun signing on as co-sponsors.  This is common-sense, non-partisan legislation that should move quickly through both chambers... one would assume.  Then again, one could have also assumed the Dems would never dream of attacking peaceful church goers on a Sunday morning.  And we all know now the danger of assumption.
