"Its ironic that if Trump hadn't pardoned Huttle he would still be in prison, alive and drug/alcohol free. But, given his lifestyle, probably not for long. Still, I hope the officers don't get qualified immunity, to which I am generally…"

"Thanks for attending this meeting and gathering this information. Has anyone explained how a small town like Scottville could possibly mismanage funds so badly that $500,000 disappears? If no crime was involved then where did the money go? Why…"

"An "altercation can be physical or verbal. Given Huttle's record of violence, substance abuse, and resistance, likely it was physical. Getting into a physical altercation with a police officer while carrying an illegal firearm is stupid,…"

A Two Year Mission to Restore Election Integrity in Michigan

Back in 2020, this reporter saw rather early on that the COVID p(l)andemic responses were apparently a ruse in order to topple the Trump presidency, when Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson used millions in Covid relief money to mail out ballot applications to those on her mailing lists that included dead people, those no longer in…See More

Let this reporter acknowledge his own bias at the forefront, in that he believes the approximately 1500 people held for years in federal prisons and similar gulag facilities were for the most part…Continue

    Migration Update

    The elves of the Ludington Torch were hopeful that we could move from our current Ning 2.0 network to the Ning 3.0 network shortly after our five year anniversary, but we have got news from them back that they are not currently doing any new migrations to the higher platform at this time.  We surmise that there has been problems with the migrations of other Ning sites, because some things do not transfer very well or at all, including videos and group modules. 

    As they continue to…

    Spammertizing

    Over the last couple of months our members have swelled due to an advertising push by those who join, post an ad, provide a link, and possibly send messages to other members advocating some product or action.  While these are basically harmless if you ignore them, the Torch tech wizards cannot fully protect against the intruders.  I have eradicated about two dozen of these infidels, and will make it a practice to do so in the future.

    Downloading Videos

    Want to download videos for a thread or just to add to our Videos library, but are having a hard time figuring it out?  It's not hard once you know how to do it.  First you will need the Video's "Embed" code; on a typical video site like Youtube they will have a "share" button you need to click, you will then see an "Embed" button you need to click.  You will see the code all in blue, you need to "copy" (as in copy and paste) this code by going to your copy command.

    Now go to the…
