It's been a while but I've got a good post today, probably one of my longest at nearly 1400 words. This is as close to a policy manifesto as I've gotten so if you want to know what I would do at each level of government here it is. So tell me, what does America need?

I’m a student at Albion College, and this question was posed to me recently by one of my professors. What Does America Need? The context of course being the election and the seeming absence o…

Donald Trump's plan for 'Peace' in Ukraine (Which he claims will be achieved within 24 hours of his inauguration) is nothing short of a total capitulation to Russia. If a decade ago I told you that the leader of the Free World would be rubbing shoulders with one of Europe's most infamous dictators you'd have called me crazy.

Russia hasn't changed in 10 years so what has?

I wish I had talked more about it before the election but we can see the consequences now. The tax limitation proposal failed and we're already seeing the effects, the Sheriff has had to cut afternoon patrols from 12 pm to 12 am, this is on top of cutting 12 am to 6 am patrols in 2022.

This is what budget cuts mean and I'm sure this isn't the last we'll see of stories like this.

The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office announced that beginning December 1, 2024, it will eliminate afternoon road patrol coverage from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. to save costs.

I suppose I should probably concede since I completely lost the Trustee race. I still got 136 votes which is about 126 more than I ever could have expected. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me get here. Don't worry, I'll be back again next election and until then I'll keep up posting here and fighting the good fight.

And here we are, this wasn't what I wanted to happen but oh well. I hope I'm wrong about Trump, for the sake of our country I hope everything I thought I knew about him was a lie. Be careful America, I don't know what happens next but I don't have a good feeling.

I'm done preaching to you all, I've said my peace. Please get out there today and vote for Harris/Walz. I'll see you folks on the other side tomorrow.

Tomorrow's the big day, I want everyone to know that even though there's a lot of stress and uncertainty we'll get through it. Things might get tougher for some of us but we'll always persevere so long as we stick to our principles and keep fighting the good fight.

If you haven't thought about voting yet please get to the polls tomorrow and make your voice heard, and never forget the principles that got us here, Liberty, Equality, and Democracy.

If you hadn't noticed I have a particular style, why do I always wear that black suit? The persona you see in my fireside chats, in my writings on my website, and in these posts here on Facebook is a construct, a particular way I present myself to this part of the world.

As for the black suit I can't say it's an original idea, I was inspired to dress that way thanks to an ideological protege of mine, Johnny Cash. Today I wish you'd all listen to his words, recognize that not a thing he said is false and that I wear the black for the same reason as him.

No matter who wins on Tuesday, never forget that we are all Americans. Now, more than ever, we need unity. We are equals now as we were yesterday and we will be tomorrow, I will stand up for you as I would hope you would do for me.

Five days left to go, I voted early in-person, If you haven't yet remember that the polls will be open early until November 3rd, and of course on election day on the 5th, please get out there Michigan and make the right choice.
