How nice.
No terrorist's here in Michigan, All Muslims are innocent in this State.
And if you believe that, you are an Idiot!
This is the reason why I will not trust Muslims and I do not patronize Muslim owned Businesses.
It is not because of any bullshit Islamaphobia, it is not because of any racism, it is because they can not be trusted; just look at what happened here, you may think you are just buying a car, but you end up helping to fund a terrorist group !

Eight car dealers in southeast Michigan, along with a Redford Township-based transport company, are part of a $480-million money laundering scheme tied to Mideast terrorist group Hizballah, federal prosecutors said.
According to a federal lawsuit filed in New York City, Oussama Salhab, the owner of Cybamar Swiss, the Redford Township transport company, "is a Hizballah operative" who was part of an effort to funnel part of the proceeds from car sales to the Lebanese group.
A manager at Cybamar said Friday that the owner was not available to comment.
The suit seeks the forfeiture of the assets of Cybamar. In addition, federal officials sought the forfeiture of used car dealerships in Detroit, Dearborn Heights, Lansing and Redford Township that sold vehicles whose proceeds may have ended up going to Hizballah.

Michigan governor approves state takeover of Flint
Up next... Detroit.
Flint is arguably the most dangerous city in Michigan (yes worse than Detroit) Mismanaged for years by a strong Democratic base, it is absolutely a shithole; and also Michael moores hometown.
Unless Gov Snyder can get the old school democrats out of the way Flint will remain the same and the rest of the state will follow.
(Reuters) - Michigan Governor Rick Snyder approved a state takeover of the city of Flint on Tuesday, following a review team's assessment earlier in the month that the city, a former manufacturing hub for the auto industry, is in a financial emergency.
Snyder named Michael K. Brown, a former mayor of Flint, as the emergency financial manager for the city.
Flint is now the fifth municipality in Michigan to come under a state-appointed manager. The move comes as Detroit, the state's biggest city, struggles with fiscal problems that have already threatened to take it down the same road.

Michigan;Monroe car bombing
WTF? A car Bombing in America is unheard of.
The target seems like a normal lawyer type of a guy, sure people do not like lawyers but the guy does not seem like he is a shyster type.
I hope this is just an act of revenge and not some new trend in terrorism within the U.S.
The Detroit Free Press
Federal investigators are asking for the public’s help to learn who planted a bomb in the car that exploded Tuesday night, injuring a lawyer and his two sons in Monroe.
“We got a ton of leads,” said Special Agent Donald Dawkins of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “We have some serious directions that we’re going toward, but none that I can say are concrete.”
At the wheel of the station wagon was Erik G. Chappell, 42, of La Salle, a local lawyer who coaches 4th through 6th grade boys’ football as part of the Catholic Youth Organization. He and his boys appear to have been headed to football practice when the bomb exploded at 5:41 p.m. on East Elm Avenue just east of I-75.

Mich. Ban on Race in College Admissions Illegal
Point.
a sweeping law that forced the University of Michigan and other public schools to change admission policies.
The Duh!
The court mostly was concerned about how the affirmative action ban was created. Because it was passed as an amendment to the state constitution, it can only be changed with another statewide vote.
Yeah jackass, we passed it in a sweeping vote, that means it was a legit and unanimous vote.
Hey I guess we need to vote on again though.
Foxnews
A federal appeals court on Friday struck down Michigan's ban on the considhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giferation of race and gender in college admissions, saying it burdens minorities and violates the U.S. Constitution.
The 2-1 decision upends a sweeping law that forced the University of Michigan and other public schools to change admission policies. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the law, approved by voters in 2006, violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
The court mostly was concerned about how the affirmative action ban was created. Because it was passed as an amendment to the state constitution, it can only be changed with another statewide vote. This places a big burden on minorities who object to it, judges R. Guy Cole Jr. and Martha Craig Daughtrey said.
The ban's supporters could have chosen "less onerous avenues to effect political change," the judges said in the court's opinion.

We Don't Want Your Canadian Trash
This has been a big issue in Michigan for years, The Canadian trash haulers flood across the border to dump their trash for next to nothing.
Past political dealings(Money going into someones Pocket)has made this what it is.
Is it B.S. definitely, Can anything really be done about it, Probably; but at a cost to us Michigan Taxpayers I'm sure.
Maybe Canada Needs to Recycle!
Foxnews
Lady Liberty welcomes your tired, poor and huddled masses. She says nothing of soiled diapers, pizza boxes and Labatt Blue bottles.
Yet Michigan lawmakers are concerned Canada is treating their state as its personal waste heap, with dump trucks crossing the border from Ontario to take advantage of Michigan's bargain-rate landfills. In hopes of discouraging the trek, they're introducing legislation in Congress that would charge the Canadians exorbitant fees for bringing their garbage stateside...
But some might choose to blame Michigan for setting itself up as an international landfill destination. The state creates a financial incentive for Canadians to bring their trash across the border. Not only is the border fee just $5, it charges just 21 cents for every ton of trash. By contrast, Wisconsin charges $12.99 per ton.
Prices at Canada's landfills are much higher. They range from about $64 (U.S. dollars) per ton of commercial waste in Windsor to upwards of $100 per ton in Ottawa.

Dearborn Police chief regrets imam's death
Surprisingly not a peep out of Dearbornistan Residents .
Maybe they realize he got what he deserved ?
I'm sure there will be some kind of whineyass statement coming from CAIR .
The Freep
Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad said today he regrets that a Muslim leader died in Dearborn during a shootout with FBI agents.
But he supports the view of the state Attorney General report released Thursday that said no state laws were broken in the Oct. 28 shooting of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah in Dearborn.
“The unnatural loss of life under any circumstances is profoundly regrettable and this case is no different,” said Chief Haddad in a statement. “Imam Luqman Abdullah had family, friends, and a religious following who have all been impacted by this event.”
At the same time, he said Abdullah caused his own death. The Dearborn police department interviewed 85 witnesses and FBI agents in their own investigation.
“It is important to note that four out of five of the defendants in the warehouse surrendered without incident and were not injured,” the city of Dearborn said. “It is clear that the decisions made by Imam Luqman Abdullah, when confronted by the arresting authorities on that day, put into action a series of events that ultimately lead to his death. Careful review of the facts have revealed that Imam Luqman Abdullah fired three shots in the direction of agents, which resulted in the death of an FBI K-9 (dog) prior to any agents returning fire.”

Woman hits Senate Armed Services chairman with pie
Could not have happened to a better Asshole !
Washington post
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. -- Michigan authorities have filed felony stalking charges against a woman they say hit U.S. Sen. Carl Levin in the face with an apple pie during a meeting with constituents in northern Michigan.
Big Rapids police arrested 22-year-old Ahlam M. Mohsen of Coldwater on the charge, as well as misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct charges.
Levin is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Mohsen told the Big Rapids Pioneer she hoped "to send a message that liberals and Democrats are just as implicated" in war as Republicans.
Police base the stalking charge on Mohsen's arrest during a 2009 protest against Levin.
Police say a man who read a statement before Mohsen hit Levin and a woman who videotaped the attack also could face charges.

Ann Arbor illegal immigrant jailed after protest at Sen. McCain's office
So a Gay Iranian Muslim , who is an Illegal Immigrant , decides to protest and gets his ass thrown in jail for breaking the law !
Now he faces Deportation , But back to Iran ?
If Iran gets him they will already Know that he is Gay , And he will be Hanged !
Maybe this Dumbass Should have thought about that before he decided to get Arrested , And it would not be because of Arizona's immigration law ! It is because you are not supposed to be in this country ILLEGALLY !
Freep.com
A Muslim illegal immigrant from Ann Arbor who fears deportation to Iran because he is gay is in jail today after leading a sit-in protest Monday inside the office of Sen. John McCain over Arizona's new immigration law. Tonight in Detroit, a vigil for him is to be held in Clark Park.
Mohammad Abdollahi, 24, of Ann Arbor was one of a group of protesters who were arrested Monday at the Tucson, Ariz., offices of McCain after trespassing and sitting in the office in protest of the Arizona law targeting illegal immigrants. He could now face deportation proceedings.
A spokeswoman for McCain, Brooke Buchanan, said today that their office gave the protesters leeway and did not immediately call the police when they arrived at the office with an attorney. McCain's office let them even stay inside the office one hour past closing time.
Buchanan said that McCain is committed to immigration reform, but the U.S. must first secure its borders. McCain has called for the National Guard to be deployed on the southern border to stem a rising tide of violence.

Father testifies Hutaree suspect visited militia activist Mark Koernke
Crazy whacked out Militia leaders like to hang out together .
It won't be long before somebody decides it is time to retaliate against the rotten Evil U.S Government , You can almost smell it brewing , Radical "Religious" Militia's are on the verge of Rampage ! And It is every bit as disturbing as waiting for Al Qaida to strike again !
Militias are not necessarily a bad thing , there are plenty of them in Michigan Alone (About 47) , But as with everything there are extremists , Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols , both of Oklahoma City Bombing fame , had ties to the Dexter Area Militias ,As well as the Deckerville area Militias in the Thumb of Michigan .
detnews.com
Detroit -- The alleged leader of the Hutaree militia, David Stone Sr., was a regular visitor to the home of Dexter-area militia activist Mark Koernke, a federal court hearing was told Wednesday.
At a bond appeal hearing, Stone's father, Ray Stone of Clayton, testified he has visited Koernke, 52, and his son David did several times since Koernke's release from prison in 2007. He served about six years for charges that included assaulting police.
Koernke was considered a leader of the militia movement and has hosted a "Mark from Michigan" radio show. He is also credited with the trilogy of "America in Peril" videos about the "New World Order" -- an alleged conspiracy involving international bankers, the United Nations and officials in the U.S. government.
Koernke, who did not immediately respond to a telephone message this morning, said in an Internet radio broadcast that militias would respond violently to the Hutaree arrests, Newsweek reported on April 2. But there has been no such reaction, and some militia members have taken credit for reporting the Hutaree's activities to the FBI.
Stone and eight alleged followers face seditious conspiracy and other charges in a federal grand jury indictment unsealed March 29, accused of plotting to kill police officers who Stone allegedly saw as members of a "brotherhood" aligned with the New World Order.

'Christian warrior' militia accused in plot to kill police
"We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. All Christians must know this and prepare, just as Christ commanded."
A few more tidbits on the Religious Extremists Known as the Hutaree .
Is this what we have to deal with now ? religious nutjobs in the U.S. ?
Plotting to Kill Police , Muslims , Innocent people , With Pipebombs ?
WTF .
(CNN) -- Nine people federal prosecutors say belong to a "Christian warrior" militia were accused Monday of plotting to kill a Michigan law enforcement officer and then attack other police at the funeral.
A federal grand jury in Detroit, Michigan, indicted six Michigan residents, two Ohioans and an Indiana resident on charges of seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade and Andrew Arena, FBI special agent in charge, announced.
The five-count indictment unsealed Monday charges that since August 2008, the defendants, acting as a Lenawee County, Michigan, militia group called the Hutaree, conspired to oppose by force the authority of the U.S. government.
Attorney General Eric Holder called it "an insidious plan by anti-government extremists."
The group says on its Web site that Hutaree means "Christian warrior" and proclaims on its home page, "Preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive."
In the Web site's "About Us" section, the group says, "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. All Christians must know this and prepare, just as Christ commanded."

Seven arrested in FBI raids linked to Christian militia group
O.k. so it was not the Michigan Militia we all know and love , It was a radical christian militia preparing for Battle with the Anti Christ .
Wow , That is two Militant Christian groups that are in the news at the Same Time .
The Hutaree's ?(Stupid Ass name for a group) were making threats against Islamic groups , And selling Pipe bombs ( For possibly following through with those threats ?) It does not look good for anyone connected to this group of religious Whackjobs !
Not one to take the threat of Islam Lightly , but acting like a Radical islamist group does , is not the Answer .
Detnews.com
At least seven people, including some from Michigan, have been arrested in raids by a FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as part of an investigation into an Adrian-based Christian militia group, a person familiar with the matter said.
The suspects are expected to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Monday.
On Sunday, a source close to the investigation in Washington, D.C. confirmed that FBI agents were conducting activities in Washtenaw and Lenawee counties over the weekend in connection to Hutaree, a Christian militia group. Detroit FBI Special Agent Sandra Berchtold told The Detroit News the federal warrants in the case are under court seal and declined further comment.
Sources have said the FBI was in the second day of raids around the southeastern Michigan city of Adrian that are connected to a militia group, known as the Hutaree, an Adrian-based group whose members describe themselves as Christian soldiers preparing for the arrival and battle with the anti-Christ.
WXYZ-TV reports that helicopters were spotted in the sky for much of Saturday night, and agents set up checkpoints throughout the area. Witnesses told the station that it was like a small army had descended on the area. The Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids.
Mike Lackomar, of Michiganmilitia.com, said both The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia and the Michiganmilitia.com were not a part of the raid.
Lackomar said he heard from other militia members that the FBI targeted the Hutaree after its members made threats of violence against Islamic organizations.
"Last night and into today the FBI conducted a raid against homes belonging to the Hutaree. They are a religious cult. They are not part of our militia community," he said.
Lackomar said he was told there were five arrests Saturday and another five early Sunday. The FBI declined to comment.
One of the Hutaree members called a Michigan militia leader for assistance Saturday after federal agents had already began their raid, Lackomar said, but the militia member -- who is of Islamic decent and had heard about the threats -- declined to offer help. That Michigan militia leader is now working with federal officials to provide information on the Hutaree member for the investigation, Lackomar said Sunday.
"They are more of survivalist group and in an emergency they withdraw and stand their ground. They are actively training to be alongside Jesus," he said.
Sources from the Michigan militia community said one of the FBI raids took place Saturday during a wake for a Hutaree member who had died of natural causes. A Hutaree leader was arrested during the wake while at the same time agents were conducting raids at other locations.
The Associated Press is reporting that FBI spokesman Scott Wilson in Cleveland said agents arrested two people Saturday in northwest Ohio. A third arrest was made in Illinois on Sunday, a day after raids in northwest Indiana.

Billions for state, but where are jobs?
(H/T to Vet on YT)
Another good example of Government spending and throwing money at states who piss it away on .....
Who knows what , It is not spent on jobs , it sure is not spent on the People , So where does it go ???
The last time I was home Back in Detroit , just a few months ago , their was so much road construction it would have almost been faster to walk home from the Airport ! that is all good except the fact that most of that money , every State gets , Every year , it already comes from a federal fund !
I am not sure how much Michigan received from the stimulus plan but with the History of this State I'm sure someone is sitting pretty right now ! And can you guess who that Governors name is ?
WASHINGTON -- Seven months into the massive federal stimulus program, the vast majority of government grants, contracts and loans in Michigan so far have created or retained virtually no jobs, a Free Press analysis shows.
The analysis also revealed that others who have been promised or have received stimulus money have overstated -- in some cases greatly -- the number of jobs created or protected.
Obama administration and state officials say it's too early to draw conclusions about the overall impact of the $787-billion nationwide program to stimulate the economy and generate jobs. They promise that job growth will follow as more funding arrives.
"It looks to us like the program is unfolding much as we hoped in Michigan," said White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein.
The Free Press examination of more than 1,800 government reports of those who have received or expect to receive stimulus money found the biggest impact was spurring or protecting public-sector or summer jobs -- not private-sector jobs. Michigan has the nation's worst unemployment rate.
Officials reported that by Sept. 30, some 22,500 Michigan jobs were created or retained thanks to the promise of $5.2 billion in stimulus money for the state, $1.2 billion of which had arrived.
The analysis also found:
• Three of every four stimulus grants, contracts and loans approved in Michigan created or retained one job or less.
• Fewer than 700 awards had received some money, and nearly half of those -- 327 -- had created one job or less, at a cost per job of $2.7 million.
• Some job estimates were wrong: General Motors Co., for instance, reported 105 jobs saved or created for a government purchase of 5,000 vehicles but later said no jobs were saved or created. The City of Detroit reported 342 jobs it now says were projections -- not jobs already created or retained.
Peter Morici, a University of Maryland economist, said the results suggest the stimulus won't deliver promised results.
"All those claims," he said, "are ridiculous."

Attorney General Eric Holder to give key-note speech at event with CAIR
Seems like someone pulled an old Jedi mind trick over Attorney General Eric Holder. "These aren't the terrorists you're looking for"
From Politico
On Nov. 19, Holder is scheduled to speak in Detroit to the first annual awards banquet of Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust, a coalition of several dozen law enforcement and community groups. An online registration form for the event includes the Council on American Islamic Relations-Michigan on a list of “official & participating organizations.”
A spokeswoman for ALPACT confirmed that CAIR is a member of the coalition.
“CAIR has been involved for a while,” said Chandra McMillion, community development facilitator for ALPACT. “CAIR is listed as an official member.”
