Hamtramck: Found Votes Push The Democrat Candidate To Victory

The mayoral race in 2025 led to a victory for the Republican candidate for mayor, Adam Alharbi - by an 11 vote margin in Hamtramck, a Muslim majority city on Wayne County.

Then 37 absentee votes that had been "overlooked" were  conveniently found in the clerk's office.

The Court has now ordered them to be counted and applied to the results, even as the chain of custody of these discovered ballots is questionable at best.

The Detroit Free Press: After 37 votes counted, Hamtramck ex-councilman leads 2025 mayoral race

The votes now counted put the Democrat challenger, Muhith Mahmood  ahead by 12 voted.

Funny how that works.

All is not lost however, there's a separate court challenge and investigation alleging that Muhith Mahmood does not actually have residency in Hamtramck as is required.  This may very well disqualify him.

A sudden discovery of votes that just happen to put the Democrat in the lead seems to be an ongoing theme, and it is a theme that really needs to stop, as it certainly raises doubts as to the validity and fairness of elections. 

Even in Detroit, Those Are Not Standard Commands

The Detroit Free Press: Detroit police bodycam video shows officer chase, shoot man in back

This is a likely lawful but ugly police defensive shooting of a fleeing armed felon. 

It really doesn't help when the officer's command to stop and drop the weapon is not "Stop and Drop the Weapon!" but instead is:

“I’m ‘bout to shoot you, b–ch,” repeatedly, Detroit police body camera video shows.

“B--ch, come here b--ch, I’m ‘bout to shoot you, I’m ‘bout to shoot you, I’m ‘bout to shoot you b–-ch, I’m ‘bout to shoot you, b–-ch, “I’m ‘bout to –”

Yep that's a very non-standard string of commands that end in: Bang. 

Officer David Gonzalez fires four times, hitting the 18-year-old in the back as he runs through a downtown parking lot before the June 22 Ford Fireworks event, Gonzalez’s body camera footage obtained by the Free Press shows. Lee-Perkins survived.

Police have said Lee-Perkins’ hands made him look armed and that Gonzalez fired because he feared for his safety and the safety of others.

Even in Detroit, these are not appropriate commands to give to an armed fleeing felon and they really didn't help in the matter. 

Yes, the felon in question was indeed, illegally concealing a firearm in his waistband and likely reaching toward it at the time.  He fled from police while armed, and he got shot in what appears to be a furtive movement shooting.  However, police and indeed armed civilians are held to a better standard than saying "B--ch, come here b--ch, I’m ‘bout to shoot you" as a defensive command.  

Parisian Gay Chickens For KFC

Gays in Paris are apparently calling for, checks notes, Sharia Law.  

This could be because they have ignored all the evidence as to what Islam and Islam's adherents thinks about gay people, and mistakenly conflated the idea that since Islam is against Western Civilization and capitalism, it must be an ally.  

In short they fell for the canard that "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Not so much. Often the enemy of your enemy is just your enemy's enemy, and nothing more. 

In this case based on past and present performance it's their enemy too. 

 Gays in Paris are calling for Islam and want to live under Sharia. They believe Islam is the only progressive religion and that it will help them dismantle capitalism.This will not end well.

Funny how they eschew western civilization with its ideas of tolerance that have allowed them to thrive, to jump into the embrace of a far less tolerant socio-religio ideology.

 I can't wait until they really find out how Islam feels about gays. I expect they'll be welcomed with open arms....dropping them off rooftops.

 

The Stupid, It Burns

During the rioting in France a viral video of a "Youth" rioter (read Muslim teen) blasting a French woman in the face with a homemade flamethrower got quite a bit of attention.

The Sun.com: FRANCE IN FLAMES Horror moment rioter blasts woman’s face with flamethrower as violent protests grip France with almost 2,000 arrested 

The quite violent act  is now being defended by some leftist women as being not serious and noticing the violence is harmful to the immigrant community.

 Indeed, they argue it is so not serious that they've decided to do TikToks blasting themselves with homemade flamethrowers made from spray cans and a lighter to show how not serious it is.

This worked out as well as you might predict for them:

  

 

Leftist woman decides to stand in solidarity with the illegal migrant who set a French woman’s face on fire, by trying to prove getting a blow torch to the face ‘isn’t that bad’ She then proceeds to light herself on fire… Liberals want to prove that this incident during the France student protests in October was been overblown and it’s being used to harm the immigrant community

Stupid is supposed to hurt, but seriously, that's one heckuva hill to self flame on.

Rather amazing that they don't defend or feel much for the woman that was attacked (so much for sisterhood and all that) but are all in for the violent migrant "youths".   Suicidal empathy indeed.

 

Final Ride Of The CT-114

The Canadair CT-114 Tutor has been a jet trainer that entered service in the Royal Canadian Air Force, then with the Canadian Forces in the 1960s. 

The Tutor is the jet used by the Snowbirds Demonstration team, the 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, ever since the formation of the team. They use them to put on one heckuva stunning, nine-jet strong, demonstration of skilled acrobatic and formation precision flying.

Until now.

The last airshow featuring the Canadian Forces Snowbirds flying the CT-114 took this past weekend at the California Capital Air Show.

It is the end of an era. 

The Tutors are being retired due to age, and the Snowbirds are standing down, ending their era of flying jets.  

The jets will be replaced by CT-157 Siskin (Pilatus PC-21) prop trainers. 

The Snowbirds will not be fully re-equipped and returning to the air show circuit until at least 2030. 

Now I Need This Shirt

The only downside to the entire trip was the very close encounter with TSA.

I mean a very, very, close encounter.

I have to do the body scanner due to the hip replacement as I set off the metal detector about 80% of the time, causing issues and untoward excitement.  As such, I just opt in to do the body scan to save a lot of hassle. 

This time even opting in, I got the hassle.

While in line, I saw the TSA agent doing a very thorough groin area search on a guy ahead of me in line.

Didn't think much of it and continued in the line. 

For the first time ever, when I walked through the scan stated it didn't work.

I walked through again, and it showed a red square at my groin area. Funny, that.  Was the machine malfunctioning or was someone marking off that area to be funny or what? Not so funny is what happened next.

I will note I was wearing cloth shorts where the only metal was the very thin zipper on it and I was wearing normal (and clean, thank you very much) underwear at the time that I have worn through security lots of times in the past.

So I got a very, very, thorough groin area check that was quite a bit much for a first date, without the agent even offering to buy me dinner first. You might say things got handled.

No, there was indeed nothing prohibited there, just ahem, me. 

I now need this shirt:

 

Back From Florida

Spent the weekend in Gainesville visiting the younger heir.

Arrived after a nice Delta flight (one day I do need to fly myself there for the fun of it) and drove to meet her.

Picked her up and we headed to lunch at Liquid Ginger.

 

Excellent sushi.  Really good, and it hit the spot after the drive in from Jacksonville. 

On Saturday, we went to the Gators/Gamecocks football game.

 A sold-out crowd, on Homecoming weekend no less, assembled to watch the Gators win as they were projected to do and the crowd was fired up accordingly.

Sadly this expected hometown win didn't happen. 

It was quite a game day environment: Overcast with some sun peeking through on occasion, enough to get a sunburn, and the joy of 100% humidity and on top of a delay of game due to lightning within 8 miles of the field, 

 

 

Two shorts bursts of torrential rain and a 30-minute rain delay didn't help things either, nor did the delay give the Gators a chance to recombobulate and come back from their terrible on-field performance.

The Gators lost, and lost badly 38-19. The Homecoming crowd was not pleased.

Still a fun time out with the kid, and great to catch up on what she is up to, and see how she is doing.

After some rest we had dinner out and then on Sunday met up for breakfast.

I then took her food shopping for necessary supplies, as one does, dropped her back at her apartment, helped her unload the shopping, and then headed back on the road to Jacksonville to head back home.

Even with the Gator defeat, ending my record of 100% wins when I'm at a Gator Football game, it was still a great weekend. 

Of Course He Did

 Fox News: Abbas delays Palestinian elections again, making more than two decades without vote 

Abbas issued a decree Friday pushing Palestinian Legislative Council elections from next month to Sept. 11, 2027, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA. Presidential elections, which have not been held since Abbas' 2005 victory, are also scheduled for that date.

Mahmoud Abbas is now in the twenty-second year of his four-year term as President of the Palestinian Authority.

Yep, read that again, I'll wait. 

Looks like he's now going for twenty-three years plus.

There have been no PA elections since 2005.

We can also note that there has not been an election in Gaza since 2006 when Hamas won and there has been no desire for an election, much less a free and fair one, there either.

Very much the standard practice of Muslim "Democracy":  Democracy is like a train - when you get where you want, you get off.

We will note this is in direct contravention of the assurance he gave to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and to French President Macron that he would hold an election in 2026 return for France and Canada recognizing the rather non-existent Palestinian state. Credulous fools and useful idiots, they.
