LANSING, Mich. — Neil Friske apparently lives up to his name: The Michigan state representative was arrested early Thursday after Lansing police responded to a report of gunshots — and allegedly found him chasing a stripper and firing a weapon.Some more potential details.
Friske, a first-term Republican who represents the northern 107th House District and is facing an August primary challenge, remains jailed.
His arrest “stems from allegations that he sexually assaulted an exotic dancer and then chased her with a firearm, a source familiar with the allegations” told news service Gongwer Michigan.

Technocrats
It's part of the "moderate" brand, generally, along with being "sensible" and "pragmatic" and...
Hochul’s decision to temporarily pause congestion pricing came less than a month before the anticipated June 30 start date and after the tolling gantries were already installed throughout parts of Manhattan. The MTA is on the hook for about $503 million to contractors for getting the program in place, including $291 million to TransCore LP, which designed, built and installed the tolling gantries, according to the MTA’s capital program dashboard.
The “incurred costs” of the congestion pricing infrastructure may also have to be offset “with reductions in other capital spending,” the document said.
The Ethnic Benefit
Amazing stuff from Clinton-endorsed Latimer.
Latimer, referencing recent polling, said he’s confident he can beat Bowman.
“Is [Bowman] going to get at least 40% of the vote? Yes. Does he have an obvious ethnic benefit? Yes,” Latimer said. “Will he get the people who are furthest to the left? Yes. But once you get beyond a couple of constituencies that he has strength in, he’s weak everywhere else.”
Based Jen Rubin
Quite the evolution.
The court is broken, unpopular and in dire need of reform. Biden knows it and should make court reform a key campaign issue.
Sure Why Not
I've said all along that whatever one thinks of who is, in a sense, "to blame," de-esclation should be the goal and certainly the goal of entities (Uncle Sam) that position themselves as The Moderators. Is this de-escalation?
US special envoy Amos Hochstein warned Lebanese officials that if Hezbollah doesn’t cease its near-daily attacks on northern Israel, it could find itself the target of a limited Israeli operation, the Kan public broadcaster reports.I know for some the only de-escalation tool they know is threats, but I submit there are better ones.
According to the report, Hochstein told the officials that a diplomatic solution was needed to force the Iran-backed terror group back from the Israel-Lebanon border, or else Israel could launch a limited attack with the backing of the United States.
"Young Lady"
Just rancid people.
Dallas-area megachurch pastor Robert Morris admitted to “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” in the 1980s after a woman accused him of molesting her when she was 12 years old, according to a statement obtained by CNN affiliate WFAA.

Typical UK Journalist Behavior
OK he wasn't officially a journalist at the time, but they rarely remember which hat they are wearing.
Will Lewis, the Washington Post publisher, advised Boris Johnson and senior officials at 10 Downing Street to “clean up” their phones in the midst of a Covid-era political scandal, according to claims by three people familiar with the operations inside No 10 at the time.
Oh No Elmo
Oh no!!!
In the first six months of 2023 — the first full year in which Musk controlled the company — X's revenue fell by nearly 40 percent from the same period the prior year. The company brought in $1.48 billion during that time period. Furthermore, X lost $456 million in the first quarter of 2023.The information is out because Musk wants to create a Venmo-type platform and I do not suggest you trust your money to him!
Sounds Bad
"Shut up bad orange man bad" has been The Discourse since October, and, well, good job everyone.
A senior doctor from Gaza died while under Shin Bet interrogation, six days after initially being detained. His death, which occurred in November, has prompted a probe by the Justice Ministry department that investigates complaints against Shin Bet interrogators.I'm sure that probe will reach conclusions as quickly as all the numerous other announced ones have.
Are People OK
Just insane behavior.
A Vermont lawmaker was compelled to apologize publicly after being caught on video pouring water into her colleague’s work bag multiple times across several months.
The Thin Blue Line
Normie voters want the cops to provide taxpayer funded free air limos for rich people. This is popularism!
But according to Bloomberg's analysis, sightseeing is exactly what it appears the NYPD pilots are doing much of the time. "The flight records show that many of the department trips left city limits and some followed trajectories that hit multiple city landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium, the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center," the story notes.
Sometimes, Bloomberg says, the flight records suggest that the helicopters are being used to ferry passengers to and from a location, like a sort of taxpayer-funded Blade service. One flight highlighted in the investigation zipped out to the Hamptons and back on a Friday evening in August. Another went to Philadelphia and then Albany before returning to New York City. Another time, an NYPD helicopter just went to Philly and back so a deputy commissioner could roll up to a gala event in style.
