Hopefully the truth is on the move.

I did say hopefully. It will be an issue if the members of the Snyder administration attempt to lie about it's involvement in the poisoning of the people of Flint. I am sure they have huddled about Flint more than once to "get their storeis straight."

Speculation (click here) is mounting that a grand jury has been tapped to consider potential charges in the Flint water case, as The Detroit News reports Dave Murray, a former spokesman for Gov. Rick Snyder, made a lengthy visit to the Genesee County Courthouse Tuesday.

Murray was one of Snyder's closest advisers in the wake of the Flint water crisis. His lawyer would not answer questions about why he was at the court in Flint. A spokesperson for state Attorney General Dana Nessel would not confirm whether a grand jury had been convened. 

Prosecutors have been mum on the status of the case since mid-April, when they said criminal charges were still coming. The initial probe that brought stiff charges against top Snyder officials was scrapped and restarted last year by Nessel. She said a special prosecution team tapped by her predecessor, Bill Schuette, botched its investigation.

A well thought out plan.

Farmers are very smart businesspersons. I first saw this a couple of days ago and waited to hear how it was photoshopped or something. Evidently, it is for real.

A farm this size cannot register a series of large losses. Mr. Larson is right he needed to rethink his best interests. I wish the farming community would realize it is the Democrats that fight hardest for them. It is usually a Democrat that comes to the press to say the farm bill is stalled in Congress.

I love it. It is a great expression of resolve.

“I’m sitting out there for hours, and I got to thinking, ‘you know, I could make a nice sign out here I betcha,’” he says in a recent interview with The Independent. “I had taken a little piece of note paper — I didn’t take a Biden and Harris sign, just found the logo online — and made a little sketch. When I finished doing my business up there, I made these little signs.”

To be clear, the signs are anything but small.

Larson says the Biden-Harris sign stretches ten acres. He also made one for the state’s Democratic gubernatorial and lieutenant governor candidates, Dr Shelley Lenz and Ben Vig. He used a grid based on old tracks left in the fields from the last time he worked on the area, and simply got to work on his vision....

...Larson (click here) says the president’s trade wars with China have resulted in steep losses in revenue for his farm, calling Trump’s promise that China would end up taking the economic hit instead of America’s farmers and ranchers a “bold-faced lie.”

“It’s cost a lot of money,” he says. “I’ve paid check-off money — tens of thousands of dollars for forty years. A big share of that money goes to trade missions: Setting up trade relationships, inviting trading partners over here to see our product. Trump got into office and he flushed that all down the toilet in two months.”...
