  • 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.

    Elitist GOP Factions Shoot Both Feet

    Its pretty bad when a KOS contributor decorates the wall of RightMichigan.com with an underlying truth.

    In the side twitter bar the question

    "What? After paying for #AFP/#RTW #Tentgate 2012 Dick DeVos' Greg McNeilly now anti-#MITeaParty?"

    appears.

    Having been a part of the RTW/FTW effort, I must say I was quite pleased with the impetus placed on FTW in Dec 2012 by Dick DeVos and Ron Weiser, without which, it might never have happened.  But it isn't a free pass for the abuses laid out by operatives of the GOP, and in particular the MiGOP club which doubled down on the national slaparound the tea folk have been getting from media and complicit (Vichy) Republicans.

    December 2012 WAS important though. Snyder at the time might have even overcome a bit of the reaction to the Prop 2 debacle by Michigan's labor unions, but a reminder that anything he had done good was outweighed by cronyism, unilateral international transactions, and the promise of tax increases that moved him.  Truthfully, if not for Weiser and DeVos RTW might never have come to be.  It never was a part of Rick Snyder's agenda, and never really will be heart-fought from ongoing union boss opposition.

    Remember that.

    Something those two saw that the governor could care less about, was the strength of the Tea party movement within the GOP construct.  There was a very real possibility that the governor, sans a significant policy delivery to the base, would face a primary challenge (perhaps by the sitting AG) thus creating a divide in the 'acceptable' GOP hierarchy.  The AG, already on record as opposing the Obamacare Exchanges, Medicaid Expansion, and showing significant support among the Tea types worried the power brokers.

    And those "wackos" were brought under control, right?

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    In Senate Committee sits Common Core

    Rick Snyder wants this in Michigan?  Why yes, yes he does.

    The provision was approved by the House last week prior to the Mackinac Policy Conference, where keynote speakers Michelle Rhee and Jeb Bush warned legislators that pulling back from the standards could have serious consequences.

    Gov. Rick Snyder, who has publicly supported Common Core, told MLive at the conference that he felt the controversy over the standards was "something we need to work through." Snyder endorsed the standards during an appearance with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan at a Detroit-area school last month.

    37 House R's are despicable and need to lose the seat in Lansing.

    Snyder Administration Still Screwing Over Farmers

    The title says it all.

    You can believe the well produced propaganda piece on Michigan's new-found prosperity, OR you can observe what has been happening to the men and women and families that feed us.  No amount of Rah-Rah for right to work (which I support tremendously) and budgets done on time can take away the rotten stink of tyranny that comes through our state's administrative efforts. As far as the bureaucratic 'rule makers' are concerned, the peasantry is far to pitiful to fear, except for a few trouble makers.

    A few troublemakers, merely following tradition by doing what generations have done to make the country healthy and prosperous. Farmers, who like any other business that must inevitably deal with an onslaught of government intrusion into their affairs, making a mockery of presumed prophylactic and protective measures for the public good. Family Farmers, like other mom and pop business ventures who have had the oxygen sucked out of their existence by expansive government till they fall one by one.

    Veteran Mark Baker of Baker's Green Acres is the equivalent of today's canary-in-the-coal-mine that is Michigan.  Except THIS bird isn't dying to tell you the oxygen has left the premises.

    His words are straight up and easy to understand.

    Snyder inherited this issue from the former governor.  When he was elected by a minority of Republicans, and faced a loonytunes SOB in the general "hired", there was a clear warning that this could hurt Michigan families, yet he ignored it.

    Rick Snyder's office needs daily calls, and to be sure, he needs to be a One Term Nerd.

    Backpattery & Bloviating

    Team Snyder doesn't give two whits about the constitution, perspective of GOP objectives, or the platform of the party.

    What an incredible opportunity this 'shutdown' offers us, yet all that they can come up with is self congratulatory political 'twerking'. Rather than applaud a stand for what most republicans profess as their principles, the nerd sycophant unit offers underhanded criticism to the one thing that is going as it should.  Greg McNeilly self proclaimed 'decider' of whom might be an "invasive species", or "Malcontent, magpie", et.. Falls short of identifying the Obama/Reid cabal which has in fact been solely responsible for the shutdown in DC:

    "There could not be a stronger contrast between the actions of Gov. Snyder and the House and Senate Republicans and the irresponsibility of Washington, D.C. politicians.  Michigan's responsible leaders balanced the budget months ahead of schedule, put money aside for a rainy day and still ended up with a surplus.

    "Gov. Snyder and our leadership in the Legislature have done a tremendous job building a solid foundation for Michigan's economic recovery.  As the state continues to grow, we will count on them to continue the smart, fiscally sound policies that have brought Michigan back."

    This from a press release about an hour ago.

    Gosh Greggie, we are so impressed! And NOBODY not everybody had to pay higher taxes for it! Michigan should be PROUD to have the 47th best climate for business in the country! By Obama's accounting that means we are better than 11 others, but for normal folks a modest 3 is good enough though, right?  What happens I wonder to the wonderful Medicaid/welfare expansion that will not be funded if the GOP is successful in holding the line?  Will the governor be able to pull back enough to get maybe 48th?

    Real leadership like this deserves an award.

    Will a burning paper bag with mystery contents (hint .. you might want to use an old shoe to stomp it out.) outside the front door be sufficient?

    Differerence MiGOP and GOP?

    Its been inspiring to watch Senator Ted Cruz and REAL patriots talk on the Senate floor all night long.

    Pushing into the 20th hour and still going strong, there appears to be clear differences where our state GOP is as compared to the party leadership nationally.  About 19 hours ago Reince Priebus Chair of the national GOP tweets:

    From our own party leadership?  Crickets.

    Nothing. Nada.

    Below the fold are screen shots of the only Michigan political social media efforts on twitter.

    Gubernatorial Surprise

    The wound in the Michigan Republican Party needs some cleaning.

    Though centrists, moderates, center left types wish to call Conservatives 'purists', we reject that notion. The request that some form of substance is present, or that at least minimally, or that a reasonable alignment with the platform of the Party be observed should not label Conservative Republicans in that way. Even within our own ranks we have many unique visions of what the Party should be, while still agreeing on one aspect; that it is different from the Democrat Party.

    This morning press releases were issued to local and national news agencies outlining an effort to remove the sitting governor
    even with the risk of electing the Democrat nominee; a point at which we might see gridlock.

    While recognizing the good he has done, we should note that there is nothing so special (including the coveted RTW) that wouldn't have happened with any other Republican at the helm; a fact also emphasized with the realization that another Republican would have been FAR MORE effective in many areas of fiscal responsibility and responsible governance.  Conservative Republican activists across the state have opined, and a few are quoted in the release noting they will not support Rick Snyder in the general if he is the party nominee.

    We are in the process of disinfecting a very deep wound, and though some wait for an "awkward" statement with 'baited breath', those same persons might be wise to consider the possibility that the wiser and older Conservative Republican Party members actually have a clue what principles are, and how to apply them.

    And that the Bactine sometimes stings for a bit when applying liberally.

    But when it is all said and done, the healing will begin.

    Yessirree, Jerry even lost his own state.  Nobody buys Democrat-lite when the real thing costs the same vote.

    Fact.
