Mixing Alcohol And Cold Has Consequences

The Detroit News: Body of missing teen recovered in Ann Arbor

A completely avoidable death and waste of potential.

Leaving a party to go out in sub-zero temperatures and brutal wind chill at 1 in the morning on your own after consuming a lot of alcohol  -- while wearing just a t-shirt and jeans is not going to turn out well.

In this case it did not turn out well at all. 

Apparently, he made it all of two blocks and then wasn't found for almost a day.

If you're going to be drinking underage at a party (or out drinking in any case, really), at least use a buddy system so you can look after each other, and be sure wear some appropriate clothes in winter for your own protection - not to mention just take an Uber home.

It's a damn shame this happened, and this kind of bad decision-making unfortunately keeps happening.

How Cold Is It Today?

It's so cold today, I saw something I haven't seen before:

A Democrat Politician with his hands in his own pockets.

Time To Sing The Cold Song

With the temperature now at -1 with a wind chill of -25 at the moment  -- and still dropping, it is time for the cold song:

It's Cold.  Cold.  Cold, Cold, Cold.

Colder than the frost on a champagne glass.

Colder than the hair on a polar bears a$$.

Colder than the nipple on a witches' t!t.

It's Colder than a pile of penguin sh*t.

Dress appropriately for the weather, and stay warm out there today folks. 

Yep, She's Going To Be Running

The Democrats so far have a rather thin and likely unelectable nation-wide field of candidates for 2028.

Kamala is just not going to win on a second attempt. 

Walz is neck-deep in corruption. 

Newsom may lead in California but his policies would make even most mid-western Democrats run away. 

Shapiro can't get past the anti-semites in his own party to make it to a VP slot, much less advance in the primaries. 

So it seems our own governor is prepping to throw herself into the ring creating a "social media empire" and laying the groundwork for a run:

She's running, bet on it. 

More On Progressives And Airplanes

So progressives in  Michigan are rather against ICE flying illegals out of the state.  

Possibly they are angry they'd prefer the illegals be bussed or even better taken by train out of the state, as progressives do love their trains.

We will note they didn't raise a peep when the Biden administration was flying illegals into the state. 

The Detroit News: Deportation critics target 'ICE Air' flights out of Willow Run airport

 Now, local activists are organizing a campaign to pressure the airport's authority from allowing detained immigrants to fly out of the historic Wayne County airport, even though legal experts say the authority is powerless to stop the flights. Activists oppose the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and argue that Wayne County resources shouldn’t support the federal government’s goal of deporting 1 million people each year. 

No it really does not work that way.  You can't discriminate about flights from airports like that, especially federal flights at a federally funded airport.  This is just more leftist activists trying to get some publicity demanding something that they know or should know cannot be done - but it does get them some media coverage for their latest cause.

A New Flight School in Minneapolis

Apparently a new flight school has been opened in Minneapolis:

 

While a normal Airline Transport Pilot needs 1,500 hours to get their ticket, since this flight school isn't going to be training their students how to land, they may just get it done in eight weeks. 

Not Nearly Enough Time For The Crime

Yet again, soft-on-crime judges are not punishing bad behavior sufficiently.

What do you get for phoning in two bomb threats to a school? All of 11 days in jail and probation, and an impulse control class.

 The Detroit News:  Detroit woman sentenced for phoning in fake bomb threats to Lake Shore High School

 A Detroit woman was sentenced to a short jail stint followed by probation for phoning in two fake bomb threats to Lake Shore High School because her daughter was not allowed to participate in a school play, prosecutors said Thursday.

Phoning in a bomb threat is uncivilized and unacceptable behavior. 

So much so you can be jailed up to 4 years for doing so. 

If you want to discourage behavior like this you need to crack down on it and make the punishment be a deterrent both to the moron that phoned it in and to others contemplating doing the same thing.

Just 11 days in jail and probation for two felonies with a maximum time of 4 years in jail after disrupting 700 students and parents is almost a joke rather than a deterrent.  She got off far too lightly.

Nothing Says That's Detroit For Ya

Like having felons  . . .  on their Police Commission. 

The Detroit News:  Convicted felons on Detroit police board work on legal issues as video emerges

Yep not just one felon on the Detroit Police Commission but multiple. 

Note one of the felons, who has since resigned when it came to light he had outstanding charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm and had threatened a police officer had been placed on the commission. 

Interesting how the Democrats keep saying they are against gun-related crimes and gun ownership in general, but keep placing criminals who have used guns in crime or committed other felonies in positions of authority. 

Funny, that.

No, Signs Really Don't Work That Way

Had a call from a person looking for a lawyer.

He had quite the request:

He wanted me to draft up a sign that could be posted on his property all legal-like alerting all persons including federal law enforcement most specifically ICE, that if they came onto his property without a warrant they would be met with deadly force.  

As you may suspect, I politely declined to acquiesce to his request.

In other words, I said "Hell No". 

Such a sign has no legal effect at all, and basically will help send the moron to jail if someone is ever shot by him on his property.

Apparently, the latest trend is thinking a sign magically stops ICE from enforcing immigration law, and the idiot thought he could get on the bandwagon with a clever sign.  

Some people think that so long as you post a sign with some legalese, or otherwise use some legalese you find on the internet (especially if it uses Latin for some reason) then you can do a dumb and illegal thing with no consequences. 

You cannot. 

In Michigan you can use deadly force for only three reasons.

Someone trespassing on your property, federal agent or not, is absolutely not one of them.
