Grateful that the @FreeBeacon has exposed this. No one should be shocked by this!
🚨Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed landed a $9,000-a-month consulting contract with Wayne County just six days after launching his campaign, allowing him to bill taxpayers roughly $300 an hour while running for office, the Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman reports.
Public records obtained by the Free Beacon show that Wayne County approved the deal on April 23, less than three weeks after El-Sayed resigned as director of its health services department. The eight-month contract authorized up to $72,000 for 30 hours of work per month providing “strategic support” during the leadership transition.
The payments were routed through AME Higher LLC, an entity El-Sayed created as a pass-through for consulting and speaking fees. “The news comes as El-Sayed has faced questions over his use of a tax loophole to avoid payroll and income taxes on payments he received through AME Higher LLC,” Goodman writes. His latest financial disclosure shows that he paid himself a $64,000 salary from the company and took another $103,000 as a “member draw,” a common strategy for avoiding payroll taxes, accountants told the Free Beacon.
The Wayne County deal was not El-Sayed’s only consulting work during the campaign. He has also collected more than $82,000 from One Health Partners, a Chicago-area nonprofit health care company that former employees have called a “scam.” The Free Beacon reported that the company focuses on buying medical practices and “exploiting Medicare” to increase revenue. It is run by Ali Karim, one of El-Sayed’s largest campaign donors, who was sanctioned by Wisconsin regulators for defrauding an investor and has been accused of fraudulent business practices in multiple lawsuits.
El-Sayed has bragged about his two-year tenure running Wayne County’s health department on the campaign trail, claiming he “led the rebuild from the studs” of its troubled juvenile detention facility. Investigators, however, found the facility “flooded with sewage and garbage” and littered with “dried feces and bodily fluids.” The facility later lost its full operational license and was placed on probation by state regulators.

HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000?
Did I sell it? No.
Did I receive $362,000? No.
Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not.
But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more.
That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.
This isn’t income.
It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account.
It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number.
If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash.
If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more.
So why does owning a home work differently?
WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED?
A house isn’t just an investment.
It’s where people live.
You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper.
At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH.
And people are starting to notice.

all these candidates are anti 2A. While the UAW may not care about their union members rights I do.

You could've told your husband you wouldn't use your job to make $ from data centers. Could've told Nessel no when she called about clearing her wife. Could've run a legal election. Could've not registered illegals to vote, or not been the most corrupt politician in the country.

🚨🔥 HOLY. SMOKES. ALITO JUST WENT NUCLEAR. 🔥🚨
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito just DROPPED A SCATHING, TAKE-NO-PRISONERS DISSENT ripping the Court for blocking Trump’s USPS mail-in ballot integrity rules. 💥⚖️
He didn’t just disagree. He EXPOSED the entire delay game.
The plaintiff states CANNOT scream “timing!” when THEY and activist lower courts CAUSED the delay. 😡
“The plaintiff States cannot claim the TIMING of the rule tilts the equities in their favor when they, and courts hearing their claims, are RESPONSIBLE for so much of the delay.”
The government got hit with MONTHS of premature lawsuits + injunctions this Court later said were likely issued WITHOUT JURISDICTION… then had to wait ANOTHER FULL MONTH for the Court to even say so. ⏳💣
Nationwide injunction from groups that likely LACK STANDING. District courts blocking rulemaking for months. Classic lawfare playbook. 🎭
Alito then walked through EXACTLY why the mail-in rules are constitutional and why the government has a massive interest in stopping fraud. 🇺🇸🛡️
This is a justice who still believes elections should be clean.
We are going to miss this man when he retires. 🙏💔
Clarence Thomas joined him. Two giants standing against the chaos.
SHARE THIS. THE COUNTRY NEEDS TO SEE IT. 📢🔥

For 8 years, Benson gave Michiganders:
* MORE taxes, reckless spending, crippling inflation, gas, grocery, energy & mortgage costs, crime, invading illegals, failing schools, election fraud, corruption,bad roads, closed businesses, &
* LESS wages, incomes, & 82,000 lost jobs.

This is something no one is really discussing.
Michigan is #2 in duplicate registrations.
That doesn’t happen unless you have a corrupt Sec of State like @JocelynBenson at the helm.

3,000 people may have died on 9/11, but that’s not the actual death toll. Nearly 10,000 died from 9/11, as the heroic rescuers continue to die from cancers they’ve endured as a direct result of the wreckage from the muslim terror attack 25 years ago. 9/11 hasn’t forgot about us.

🚨 MICHIGAN — I am absolutely infuriated by this.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh has DENIED Americans for Citizen Voting–Michigan’s emergency request to get the citizens-only voting amendment onto the November ballot.
No written opinion. No explanation. Just DENIED.
Let me make sure I understand this correctly.
More than 700,000 Michigan citizens signed petitions asking for the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment making it clear that only U.S. citizens can vote in Michigan elections.
The State Board of Canvassers blocked it.
Americans for Citizen Voting fought back, ultimately taking the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
Justice Kavanaugh then ordered Michigan to respond on an expedited timeline — which certainly made it look like the Court understood the urgency of what was happening.
Michigan responded. ACVM replied.
And then?
Denied. Without explanation.
So forgive me for asking the obvious question:
Why demand an expedited response from the State if you're going to deny emergency relief without even explaining the legal reasoning?
Maybe there is a legal rationale. But Kavanaugh didn't provide one in the order, so none of us should pretend we know what it is.
And THAT is precisely what is so infuriating.
This isn't some theoretical law-school exercise. There is a ballot deadline staring Michigan voters in the face.
We're talking about 700,000+ petition signatures and citizens attempting to exercise a right Michigan's own Constitution gives them: the initiative process.
If citizens follow the law, collect hundreds of thousands of signatures, challenge the government's decision through the courts and STILL cannot even get the question before voters, at some point we have to ask:
What exactly are these laws and constitutional rights worth if nobody will enforce them when it matters?
And here's the kicker:
Kavanaugh's denial does NOT say those sworn voter affidavits were fraudulent.
It does NOT say those citizens didn't sign the petitions.
It does NOT contain a ruling that the Board was correct on the merits.
It simply denies the emergency injunction.
Apparently 700,000+ Michiganders can sign a petition asking to VOTE on whether only citizens should vote…
…and somehow Michigan voters may never get to vote on it.
You honestly couldn't write the irony better if you tried.
I believe in the rule of law. I believe in our Constitution. And I believe courts exist in part to protect citizens when government institutions overstep their authority.
But the rule of law only means something if citizens can actually rely on it when the clock is running out.
The @USSupremeCourt let us down big time today.
Michigan voters deserved an answer. At the VERY least, they deserved an explanation.
700,000+ signatures. LET THE PEOPLE VOTE.
