Michigan: Voters Terminate Entire Local Government over Support for China-Linked EV Battery Company

Michigan: Jason Kruse led a revolt against the Green Charter Township’s local government that replaced all five council board members in a recall election after they backed China-linked company Gotion that makes electric vehicle batteries. Green Charter Township has a population of 3,210 people, and voters felt that they were not represented by their elected leaders. Voters objected to Gotion establishing a factory in their area because the company pledges loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Kruse showed that voting in local government matters.

Kruse said that the Michigan State Legislature in Lansing is passing legislation to do more green energy deals in wind and solar that includes taking away the rights of townships in zoning matters.

Groundbreaking Study Reveals Some Antibiotics Actually Help Harmful Bacteria Stay Alive

Scientists at the University of Exeter report that some antibiotics inflict a curious effect on certain bacteria — the drugs actually boost the bacteria, helping them live longer. Scientists uncovered that some antibiotics help relieve stress and help stop the decline of bacterial populations when they are dying out. In other words, more bacteria survive for longer periods in comparison to populations with no exposure to the antibiotic.

On a related antibacterial note, the rise of antibiotic resistance in recent years has rendered many antibiotics ineffective against certain infections. Untreatable infections could be the biggest global cause of death by 2050.

Newsom Trashed for Admitting San Francisco Was Cleaned Up for China Summit: ‘Slap in the Face’

San Francisco was cleaned up virtually overnight for a major summit that welcomed Communist Chinese President Xi Jinping. Governor Gavin Newsom admitted that the city was cleaned because “fancy leaders are coming to town.” Newsom, who was Mayor of San Francisco before he became the Governor, was roasted across the internet for working with extreme Democrats to infest California with crime and homelessness. Another critic wrote that very single problem in America’s cities — the crime, the drugs, the homelessness, could all be solved overnight but the radical left-wing leaders that run these places simply refuse to do it. A former CIA agent wrote, “When politicians are this smarmy about their failures, it means they have total control and fear nothing.”

Major retailers have pulled out of San Francisco as the city continues to grapple with a surge of drug overdoses, crime and homelessness. Dave Rubin asked where have all the homeless people gone.
