Yesterday on my street, I saw a tree, on city property, with 'stuff' piled high around the base of…Read More the tree. I tried to tell the two gentlemen there it would eventually kill the tree. 'Not so!' they replied, according to, I believe, their landscaper. They then proceeded to try and placate this nosy gray haired woman. Maybe someone from the city could clue them in??

Couldn’t agree more! There’s often a silver lining in every dark cloud, though it may be…Read More difficult to see at the time.

Sometimes you can see blessings in hindsight; God’s faithfulness in bringing you through difficult times. He is faithful even if He chooses not to heal you on earth.

I wanted to know Dr. Barr's reason for making the statement, mostly because BHS students do well and…Read More BHS is in good financial shape. So I wonder why he thinks a chartered BHS would be better than what we currently have.
Thanks for the link to the News article..I have already read it and I encourage everyone to read it.

Chef Johnny Prep also does a cooking show on Bloomfield Community Televisions community access…Read More channel. It's called "Soup and Company." See it on Comcast Channel 15 or ATT 99.

Ken, thank you for your comments at the BH Board meeting last night (and waiting around so long to…Read More make them!). I was watching from the comfort of my den (since the voters decided that's where I ought to be...lol.) Anyway, your concern about local school districts surviving is an important one, and sometimes I fear BH and Bham are not as focused on this issue as they should be. Keep up your drum beat on this; I appreciate all your blogs and the time you give to writing them.

And last summer reporter Karen Drew and a camera man sat and watched a custodian from Warren Schools…Read More ( a 30 something year vet ) have a few beers in a bar, waited for him to get in his car and then called the police on the man and he was promptly arrested for drunk driving and lost his job and benefits. I totally agree what he did was wrong, but she could of confronted the gentleman as he was going to his car and got her story there. Instead, she let him drive drunk to get a better story.

What he did was horrible and against the law but if he has taken full responsibility for it and does…Read More not do this again then he deserves forgiveness.....we all make mistakes with the hopes of learning from them and moving on. It may follow him for a long time but no one deserves criticism forever.

He was stupid for doing what he did, but we all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. There…Read More ia no point in demonizing. A simple solution would be to install breathalyzer devices in the vehicles of those convicted of drunk driving as one of their sentences. But, the State will never go for it because the drunk driving business is a huge revenue generator and cash is king.

So if I read this correctly “This is absolutely gendered violence” this law is written…Read More strictly for women to persecute men? Way to go HAVEN
My ex-wife assaulted me with nails to the face, a failed kick to the groin and spastic attempts to punch and claw me followed by slamming our daughters arm in a door. I grabbed her by her neck to subdue her. she called her mother (who coincidentally railroaded her ex with false accusations and stole his business) to call 911. I ended up in jail, divorced (at her command), robbed of my children, stuck with the bills, forclosed on and a $1700.00 a month stipend for child support which she used for a house, a hummer , an expedition and who knows what? Men in this state need to unite and recognize groups like HAVEN are focused towards the destruction of Michigan families through one-sided laws written for pre-determined guilt.
I’m not saying strangling anyone shouldn’t be a felony but when HAVEN feminists are the lobbyists for these things and smugly proclaim that “MEN ARE THE ONLY GUILTY PARTY” it drives the gears in Michigans failed family courts towards a means to an end for women to opt out of marriage at any time for any reason (Like my ex) and simply make an accusation that’s so loaded with focused animosity towards the accused that we MEN stand no chance. The police will not ask for proof of being strangled, they will simply say “I can see the marks” just so they can put someone away and diffuse the situation.

After reading what happened to Angry, I can't say that I blame him. When a woman grows tired of you…Read More in this state, she can have you thrown out of your home, your children taken away and most of your earnings confiscated. She needs no proof to take out a personal protection order against you. He choked me officer, he hit me, he was yelling at me, he beat the kids. No one cares about the man or believes his side on anything, certainly not the Police or Friend of the Court. FOC are in place to suck out your life force, leaving you with barely enough energy/money to get up in the morning and go to work, if you didn't lose your job due to the antics of the woman. I do side with Angry Harry.
