  • Michigan’s Dumbest!

    Ralph Godbee is an ignorant man (Covid shot saved his life) and just another shill for the corrupt political establishment. His constant race baiting rhetoric should offended CL, but instead CL let him continue instead of shutting him down for his excuses for himself and every politician.

    WORST GUEST EVER!!

Q: What would you make of that opening?
It's corruption at the worst level. This is wrong. And it needs to be solved; it needs to be taken care of.

Q: What if we find out they've been withholding stuff?
