Joe Biden waves to a friendly on his current “vacation.”  He may as well stay there, where his inaction is better than selling out America…Glen Wunderlich

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed Reese’s Law (P.L. 117-171), which directed the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to adopt increased warning and product safety standards for products containing button cell and coin batteries, due to potential ingestion hazards for children. The law also included requirements regarding the packaging of button cell or coin batteries not sold already installed in consumer products. Read more

What follows is an unsolicited and unpaid testimonial about this product that I was so excited about, I had to share it.

My old GMC Sierra, 2003 vintage with 242,000 miles on it really runs well and has been well maintained.  However, for the past month or so, the check engine light was trying to tell me something.  So, after ignoring it for too long, I stopped into a NAPA store and found a volunteer to run a test with a code reader.  The cordial staff member said there was a fuel issue but he couldn’t pinpoint the malfunction based on the data provided.

He mentioned a few parts that could be the culprit, but I didn’t want to start replacing things.  I also didn’t want to pay the shop fee at a local auto repair facility, being the innate cheap guy I am.  Since one of his suspicions had to do with the injectors, I asked him if I put some fuel treatment in the tank, would there be a chance to correct the issue and he said it could.

Since I’ve been a fan of Motorkote products – especially the Hyper Lubricant for oil – I recalled that I had some of the Motor Treatment in stock back home.  When I got home, I poured the entire bottle into the gasoline tank and hoped for the best.  It’s been about a week since the treatment and I’m a believer!  The dang light went off today and only a half tank of fuel was consumed since the experiment began.

This is one product I’ll keep in stock now!

When President Trump commented on President Biden’s push to factor-in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in his regime at the National Association of Black Journalists’ appearance recently, he was widely criticized for essentially indicating race was the reason for her appointment.  Interestingly enough, Biden made the following public comments in May 2024.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “They’re trying to erase Black history. We’re going to write Black history because it’s American history.

It’s American history. Together, we make history, not erase it.

To me, the values of diversity, equality, inclusion are literally — and this is not kidding — the core strengths of America. That’s why I’m proud to have the most diverse administration in history that taps into the full talents of our country. And it starts at the top with the Vice President.”

So, who’s trying to erase history?  If the shoe fits, wear it!

Summer is in full swing, and the water is the place to be! Though there are many ways to enjoy Michigan’s waterways – swimming, fishing, paddling, boating and more – the Michigan Department of Natural Resources wants to ensure that your first priority is safety in and around the water.

“Michigan’s waters, from the Great Lakes to our inland lakes, can be deceptively dangerous,” said Ron Olson, chief of the DNR Parks and Recreation Division. “With several drownings already reported on inland lakes and the Great Lakes this season, this underscores the importance of practicing and reviewing water safety each and every time you’re on the water.”

Although most tips apply to all situations in and on the water, there are a few distinctions between general water safety, Great Lakes beach safety and boating safety.

General water safety tips

• Before leaving home for any beach outing, check local weather reports and lake conditions.
• Always swim with a buddy or an observer on shore, regardless of swimming abilities.
• When near the water, keep small children in a U.S, Coast Guard-approved life jacket, even when playing on shore in the sand. Always watch and never turn your back to children in or near the water.
• Have a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device readily available in case you or another swimmer needs help.
• When visiting a state park, swim in buoyed swim areas. These areas are equipped with additional safety features, such as buoys or markers that identify water depth less than 5 feet (inspected approximately every two weeks), a beach flag warning system (found in buoyed swim areas in state parks along the Great Lakes) and rescue equipment. It’s important to remember that not all state parks have designated swim areas.
• Avoid swimming near the outlets of rivers – either upstream from the outlet or where there are “no swimming” signs – because these currents can be extremely hazardous. Swimmers can be quickly swept out into the Great Lakes.
• Swimming near moored or anchored boats? Boats coming and going can create turbulent water strong enough to exhaust even strong swimmers.
• Especially in the spring and fall, please be cautious of cold-water temperatures. Sudden immersion and/or sustained time in cold water can cause cold shock, making it hard to breathe and increasing your risk of drowning.
• Keep in mind that DNR staff start removing swim buoys, beach warning flags and other visual markers that denote buoyed swim beaches at state parks along the Great Lakes after Labor Day.
• Please be aware that there are no beach guards in state parks. Visitors must swim at their own risk and are asked to always prioritize safety.
