Michigan families are worried about grocery prices, utility bills, housing and health care. Michigan Republican gubernatorial nominee John James, meanwhile, went on The Benny Show and started talking about circumcision, submitting to his Lord and Savior, and Satan.
No, seriously. James launched into a theological discussion about circumcision as a covenant with God and how Satan twists that message. This is the Republican nominee for governor of Michigan, not a guy yelling into a microphone outside a gas station. Watch this for yourself. Just don’t get second hand cringe.
The contrast could not be clearer. While James was talking about circumcision and Satan, Jocelyn Benson was campaigning on affordability and talking about lowering costs for Michigan families.
That is increasingly the choice Republicans are offering voters: endless culture-war obsessions and deeply weird conversations about your body and religion, while normal people are trying to figure out how to pay their electric bill.
Michigan voters need a governor focused on making life more affordable. If John James wants the job, maybe he should spend a little less time talking about foreskins and Satan and a little more time talking about why everything costs so damn much.
Now The Weirdos Are Cheering a Trade War Because Trump Renamed a Lake
Then there’s the Oakland County Republican Party, apparently thrilled that Trump is trying to turn Lake Ontario into another stupid culture-war prop. They’re cheering the name change like it’s some huge victory instead of what it actually is: petty nonsense happening in the middle of a trade war with Canada that is costing Michigan jobs and raising prices.
That’s the part they somehow never mention. Michigan’s economy is tied to Canada at the hip. When Trump slaps tariffs on Canadian goods, manufacturers pay more, businesses get squeezed, the auto industry gets hurt and those costs eventually land exactly where they always do: on you.
So imagine watching your own state take the hit and responding, “Hell yeah, rename the lake.” Are they really this desperate for a culture-war dopamine hit that they’ll cheer while Michigan families pick up the tab? Pathetic.
We have plenty of more weird republican news coming your way! You think this is bad, wait until you hear about some of the stuff Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers is up to! At least he just put his Florida house up for sale. Maybe he wont move back after he loses the election this time.
