GET ME REWRITE: Ottawa County commissioner Joe Moss wants to move his clown show to Michigan House of Representatives

 
It's a safe seat for the GOP.

Headline:  WZZM, 3/25/2026

Steven Bohner reviews Moss's far-right conservative credentials:
Moss co-founded the conservative group Ottawa Impact, who won the majority of seats on the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners in the 2022 election. But the following election, Ottawa Impact only saw four of their nine backed-candidates win. 
While Moss served on the board, he noted that he voted to close the DEI Department, voted to change legal representation of the county to the Kallman Legal Group, voted to build and expand the Department of Veteran Affairs and voted to approve body camera funding for the sheriff's department.

Latest University of Michigan Survey of Consumers reveals drop in confidence due to Trump War of Whimsy

 
Headline and graph:  Survey of Consumers

Joanne Hsu reports:
Consumer sentiment fell back 6% this month to its lowest level since December 2025. Declines were seen across age and political party. Consumers with middle and higher incomes and stock wealth, buffeted by both escalating gas prices and volatile financial markets in the wake of the Iran conflict, exhibited particularly large drops in sentiment. Overall, the short-run economic outlook plunged 14%, and year-ahead expected personal finances sank 10%, while declines in long-run expectations were more subdued. These patterns suggest that, at this time, consumers may not expect recent negative developments to persist far into the future. These views are subject to change, however, if the Iran conflict becomes protracted or if higher energy prices pass through to overall inflation. Interviews for this release were collected between February 17 and March 23, with about two-thirds completed after the start of the US military conflict in Iran.  [emphasis added]

This is how they do things in Toms River Township New Jersey

 
Headline:  NBC Philadelphia, 3/27/2026

Cherise Lynch reports:
The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, around 8:10 p.m., officers from the Toms River Township Police Department responded to the Ocean County Mall on Hooper Avenue for a report of a shooting. 
When officers got to the scene, officials said they found a 17-year-old boy suffering from a single gunshot wound to his face. The boy was transported to a nearby hospital and listed in stable condition. 
Officials reported that an investigation revealed the boy was sitting in a common area of the Ocean County Mall when he was confronted by an individual attempting to provoke a confrontation. 
As this individual began to walk away, he turned and fired multiple gunshots in the boy's direction, with one of the bullets striking the boy in the face, police said. The suspect then fled the scene. 
Further investigation has revealed that a child was responsible for the shooting.
