A “top state official” confirmed the Michigan DNR’s plans to clear the acres of state forest for a solar farm to MLive.com.

The acres being cleared from the state forest are reportedly among the “4,000 acres of public land” throughout Michigan that will be leased in order to address decreased “revenues from hunting and fishing licenses,” as well as Michigan falling “behind building enough renewable energy.”

Leasing 4,000 acres of public land statewide is partof the DNR’s plan to help remedy both problems in coming years. Officials said that state solar initiative may begin just west of Gaylord.

DNR officials also reportedly “recently assessed 1,200 acres of public trust land in Otsego County near a major power transmission line to decide whether it was suitable for solar arrays,” according to the outlet.

The Daily Wire reported that Chris Martz, a meteorology student, had “published a chart showing nuclear power produces far more power on less land than solar and wind.” […]

Duggan’s decision to run outside the Democrat label comes at a time when the party’s policies are under fire for economic mismanagement, rising crime rates, and what conservatives argue is an overreach in social policies. His move has sparked frustration among Michigan Democrats, with some like Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson arguing that true leaders should stay and address issues within their party, not flee. This sentiment reflects a broader critique that Democrat leaders often abandon ship when the going gets tough, leaving voters with more questions than answers.

The twist in this race has led to speculation about whether Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg might be coaxed into running as the Democrat standard-bearer. Known for his appearances on conservative media, Buttigieg has been praised by some for his willingness to engage with different political audiences. However, his potential candidacy is viewed with skepticism by those who see him as a puppet of the Biden administration’s policies, which many argue have exacerbated issues like inflation and infrastructure neglect.

Critics are quick to point out that Buttigieg’s record at the Department of Transportation has been less than stellar, with delays in infrastructure projects and mismanagement during crises like supply chain disruptions. His entry into the race could be perceived by some as an attempt by Democrats to inject a “fresh face” into a tarnished narrative, but one that might not resonate with Michigan voters who are increasingly turning away from the Democrat establishment.

Furthermore, the independent run by Duggan could split the Democrat vote, providing an unprecedented opportunity for Republicans to capture the governorship. This scenario is seen as a potential backlash against years of progressive policies that many argue have led Michigan down a path of economic stagnation and social division.

As the race unfolds, voters are watching closely, hopeful that this upheaval might lead to a Republican victory, emphasizing traditional values, economic freedom, and state rights over what they describe as the overreaches of federal control and progressive agendas.

The political landscape in Michigan, therefore, is not just about choosing a new governor but is a referendum on the direction of the state’s policy in the wake of national Democrat governance.

This development in Michigan’s gubernatorial race underscores the fluidity and unpredictability of politics, especially in swing states where every vote counts, and every political calculation can shift the balance of power.

This endorsement, made via a Facebook post on Sunday, is not just a casual nod; it reflects a significant shift in the narrative. Ghalib, while acknowledging that he and Trump don’t “agree on everything,” still regards the former president as “a man of principles.”

Here’s his post:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me be clear, so our expectations are realistic.

President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles.

Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences.

For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Now, let the Caravan begin its journey. This is just the starting point.

Amer Ghalib
Hamtramck City Mayor.

Trump, ever the savvy politician, wasted no time in amplifying Ghalib’s message, sharing it on his Truth Social account. This is more than just an endorsement; it’s a strategic alliance that could resonate deeply within the Arab American community.

Ghalib’s endorsement follows a private meeting with Trump in Flint earlier this week, where the two engaged in a candid 20-minute conversation.

Ghalib noted that Trump “knew a lot about me before the meeting,” suggesting a level of preparation that hints at a calculated approach to garnering support from diverse communities.

In his discussions with Trump, Ghalib revealed, “We talked about various topics including the debates, the polls updates, the statistics of votes in Michigan and Wayne County, the Arab American concerns and the Yemeni Americans in particular. We also talked about the situation in Yemen.”
