XLFD replied to XLFD's discussion Mayor Barnett's Blatant Gaslighting Campaign
"Barnett will go to the grave unrepentant, because his career shows that he will kiss the asses of his betters and his peers and kick the asses of those who his betters and peers point towards.  When a problem comes up that requires moral…"

"LIARS gonna Lie. Sad and the wicked justify themselves. All I can do is pray, that some day, Barnett will get over himself, conquer his ego because he can't seen to see over it to hear what you say. Barnett is one of the main sources (imo), if…"

"He's minimally smarter than a rock, so it must be the latter.  The problem is that everybody has been doing things wrong for so long that it would be an admission of corruption if they changed their policy so that they keep private funds…"

"Disgusting twist of facts that Barnett makes over misuse of general funds to buy hams (2017, 8 years ago and stillcannot understand law). Like the devil twisting truths. Shame, shame, shame ham. Give it up Mayor, if you cannot understand law."

Mayor Barnett's Blatant Gaslighting Campaign

At the May 19, 2025 meeting of the Ludington City Council, "blatant" must have been the vocabulary (or drinking) word of the day, as Mayor Mark Barnett would use that adjective five times in a little over a minute to describe actions of his favorite citizen journalist.  Rather than taunt the gentle reader by going over what led up to the outburst at the end of the 86 minute meeting, we'll…See More

"Math is my strength, so I would explore your reading ability, Stump, after I double check my writing ability for an error.  If the fencing is not up 107 days in a year (which is 365.25 days) as it has in the past, the percentage is 29.3%. …"

Labor Day Week Fence Up, Memorial Day Week Fence Down

I was walking through Stearns Park last night (Sunday, May 18, 2025) when it struck me that it was less than a week before summer officially started in Ludington with Memorial Day weekend, and we still had sand piles on the beach left by recently removed sand fences and barrel-supported sand fences still along the east side of Stearns Outer Drive.  I ran the numbers in…See More

Scottville City Commission, May 12, 2025: Living Within Their Means

Back when former Scottville City Manager Jimmy Newkirk was running up city expenses without a commensurate increase of revenue, one person was going to meetings reminding city commissioners that they needed to live within their means.  It made no sense hiring a Grand Rapids law firm whose attorney would be charging over $300 per hour,…See More

    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…
