Detroit Democrats? Corruption is in the basic job description.
[ConservativeBrief] The Democrat political machine in Detroit has taken a blow following an FBI raid on the city hall and the homes of city council members.
On Wednesday, FBI agents reportedly raided the homes of two Detroit City Council members as part of a federal corruption investigation, Fox News reported.
The FBI executed search warrants on the homes of Detroit City Council members Janeé Ayers and Scott Benson, and the offices of the city’s Coleman A. Young Municipal Center.
Detroit News reports that no criminal charges were filed against the individuals and the search warrants remain sealed in court for now.
The raids follow charges against councilman André Spivey some three weeks ago he was charged on a single count of conspiracy to commit bribery for allegedly accepting over $35,000 to be “influenced and rewarded” for votes.

Sometimes the best protection for a politician is an "ongoing investigation" that can take years before the statues of limitations runs out. See the Durham investigation or the Ilhan Omar immigration fraud now being too old to pursue due to statute of limitations...A new Michigan Governor would be helpless to interfere with an ongoing federal investigation.
[NYPOST] The tally of New Yorkers killed by the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic stands at more than 55,000 people, the state Health Department confirmed late Tuesday — far more than the 43,000 long reported by now-departed Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo ...former Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuomo and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he had about a dozen allegations of sexual harassment and groping against him that forced him out of office. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he'll probably run again... DOH officials released the revised tallies just hours after Gov. Kathy Hochul was sworn into office, finally bringing the state’s death count into line with figures long published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Johns Hopkins University.
"We’re now releasing more data than had been released before, publicly, so people know the nursing home deaths and the hospital deaths are consistent with what’s being displayed by the CDC," Hochul told MSNBC on Wednesday morning. "There’s just a lot of things that weren’t happening, and I’m going to make them happen. Transparency will be the hallmark of my administration."

...Their finding can probably be boiled down to, "We'll tell you who it's acceptable to vote for."

Our voting systems would be improved greatly if Zuckerberg didn't dump tons of money into local elections to try to sway the election to the left-wing candidate.
[BIZPACREVIEW] Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... is demanding that the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us... take in hundreds of thousands of Aghan refugees even as the U.S. military struggling to get all Americans out of the war-torn country ahead of an Aug. 31 deadline.
The New York leftist told The Independent that Biden should set, as a minimum, the acceptance of 200,000 Afghans into the U.S. as the country exits its longest war. She added those refugees should be permanently resettled and eventually granted naturalized American citizenship.
"I believe we need to move and the administration needs to move as quickly as possible and as expansively as possible ensuring that we are raising the amount of refugee visas to whatever amount is necessary," she told the outlet.
"I would say the rock bottom is 200,000, but I think it should be whatever is necessary," she added. "And that needs to be expedited as soon as possible."
Ocasio-Cortez’s demand comes as the Biden administration is coming under increasing fire for extricating more Afghani citizens than Americans, by percentages, according to a leaked State Department cable on Tuesday.
During his nightly "Chalk Talk," Newsmax TV’s Steve Cortes, citing figures from the cable, noted that official numbers from the State Department showed a massively disproportionate number of Afghans being evacuated compared to Americans.
"It has never been more important to prioritize American citizens than right now, particularly as it is related to Afghanistan," the "Cortes & Pellegrino" co-host and former Trump adviser said. "But so far, the massive airlift from Afghanistan has been Americans last."
According to State Department figures, on Monday the U.S. evacuated a total of 6,916 people from Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...One of the more egregious mistakes of the post 9-11 era... International Airport in Kabul, just 483 of whom were Americans — 7 percent of the total, Cortes said.

200,000 Afhans would be an exciting and vibrant addition to Minneapolis. And would probably give the resident Somali population a run for their money. Vibrant excitement for everyone!
