Michigan House Approves Wolf Hunt, Allows Businesses and Citizens to Protect Their Assets

Last week, the Michigan House voted 65-43 in support of a wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula despite pleas to allow the controversial issue go to the November ballot when a statewide vote takes place. The vote follows legislators on both sides of issue presenting heated arguments regarding the initiative. "A business owner in Grand Marais told me that wolves have been gathering in the parking lot of his hotel. They are so great in numbers that people are concerned about going in their backyards in the evening," according to state Rep. Kevin Daley, R-Lum. "We should allow sound science to make the decision and not allow special-interest groups to come in front of us and cry wolf." According to state Rep.

Battle of Horseshoe Bend Enemies Propagated the Words of Bloody Deeds

Recently, Jillian Keenan said that we should kick off the 20$ bill of “Andrew Jackson”.  The freelance writer of New York Times says that “Andrew had distributed the coffin handbill during the course of 1828 elections”. On the other hand, the editor of Philadelphia John Binns said that “the seventh president was the preacher and promoter of carnage and blood”. No doubt, he was one of the enemies of Andrew who printed and distributed the handbill and recalled the killing of Indian noncombatant in the battle of Horseshoe bend”. It goes without saying, the right side of the handbill contains two figures (one looming and one bent over) and recounting the scenario of 1806 incident.  It is said that Andrew Jackson had a quarrel with Samuel Dorsey Jackson at Nashville Street.
