(United States of America) – Former FBI Director James B. Comey is one of the few honest people in Washington, D.C. – amid thugs on all sides.

People have forgotten the real meaning of honesty in public service: Any form of coverup, misrepresentation, omission and blatant lie.

Some Yooper governments have hid their corruption for decades – but will be exposed thanks to you – The Truth Tellers. Please be inspired by Jim Comey, who hasn’t forgotten the meaning of integrity.

There is the old news saying – that if your story pisses off all sides – then you likely did a good job. But its more than that.

Comey has rare integrity. Comey saw through efforts to conceal corruption on all sides – and called them on it. Nothing ticks off politicos like being caught.

Hey to my Democrat buddies – Comey is not the reason that Hillary lost the election.

She lost because of the average American’s disgust of the corruption in Washington, D.C. – and endless, endless, broken promises by both sides. Hillary is one of the reasons Trump got elected.

The Democrats think a “We Hate Trump” mantra will make progressives forget how Hillary and the Democratic National Committee  cheated. Hillary and her band of uranium-stained underbosses lost because she expected a coronation.

Can hear Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King telling us to forgive Pres. Trump – what to me is the most unforgiveable act so far. Pres. Trump gave aide and comfort to the KKK and white supremacists.

Trump also put equivalent of Nazi monster in charge of the EPA – one evil, sickening and greedy dude. We live in a state where our top health official is charged of killing people and is still in office. We need our governor indicted on federal RICO charges after he raped the U.P.

Ironically, one way Trump is draining the swamp is a record number of Republican incumbents are not seeking re-election.  We need to take money out of elections before the system begins to correct itself.

In the U.P. there is not much true integrity left in the system. Our governments blatantly lie and hide stuff (like Copper Harbor and all the sheriff’s, prosecutors) to cover up things, put unending fines on the poor, a mental health system that really has become a sick joke.

The deep corruption in Marquette County played a big decision of our former sheriff abandoning the office and leaving town in disgust.
Its hard for truly honest men and women to work within corrupt sleaze. You can tell the U.P. crooks by certain giveaways – they are narcissists who have a ‘for me or against me’ mentality and truly believe they have some special throne on which to rule their little corner of the U.P.

I would not like to explain to kids how our current system is bankrupt financially, environmentally screwed and rotten to the core with all the money in politics. Things are so bad in Michigan, even picking which emergency is worse is hard – as all involve people dying or going to die (like COs/inmates).

U.P. counties are essentially bankrupt and hide lots from the public – its someplace special for slumlords, Boss Hogg politicos, Prosecutors/Sheriffs/Chiefs who try to keep the public in mushroom nirvana and protect those who commit domestic violence, and time and again we have proven that the U.P. rich – get treated differently by media and the system.

I know one case where a slumlord has allowed a couple to live in their burned dilapidated Ishpeming home. We have some slimy slumlords in the U.P.
Everyone who dies in a U.P. fire are inside in an old dwelling – saved especially for the low income – many barely standing from mining era.

So in the wake of all above, Comey IS the only one with integrity in that bunch and for that mater – more than 99 percent of the elected officials in “Superiorland.”

Chippewa County joins lawsuit against drug companies, pharmacies (2)

In Michigan, Chippewa County joins numerous other cities and counties suing the pharmaceutical companies that have cost thousands of lives including well over 100 deaths in the U.P. in recent years.
In Wisconsin, 20 counties are suing pharmaceutical companies over the massive and crooked marketing of prescription opioid painkillers that has caused a drug epidemic across the United States.

“According to the United States Census Bureau, as of 2010 the County of Chippewa had a population of 38,520. It was also estimated that, in 2016, 37,724 persons live in the County of Chippewa.,” the suit states.

The devilish painkillers at issue include OxyContin, MS Contin, Dilaudid/Dilaudid HP, Butrans, Hysingla ER, and Targiniq ER Percocet, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydromorphone, and hydrocodone, opioids Nucynta and Nucynta ER; prescription opioids Actiq and Fentora; prescription opioids Kadian and Norco, a generic version of Kadian, and generic versions of Duragesic and Opana – and many more that makes the companies and pharmacies hundreds of billions of dollars annually while cause tens of thousands of deaths each year across the USA.

“Plaintiff, County of Chippewa, has been uniquely and disproportionately impacted by the scourge of opioid addiction,” Chippewa County officials declared in the lawsuit.

Chippewa County is the second largest county in the State of Michigan.

Chippewa County “has been highly affected by the tidal wave of opioids addiction that has swept through the nation,” the suit states. “The County is being forced to expend county resources combating the opioid epidemic and its cascading effects.

“As a direct result of Defendants’ corporate malfeasance, the County’s medical professionals and first responders must now prioritize combating drug overdoses, including opioid overdoses,” the suit declares. Chippewa County “law-enforcement officers are engaged in a pitched battle against the heroin trade, and against criminal enterprises illegally trading in prescription opioids. The County’s medical professionals must now spend their time and resources combating the multifaceted harms that drug addiction imposes on families, children, and infants.”

The national pharmacies targeted are CVS Health Corporation (“CVS”), Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (“Walgreens”)m Rite Aid Corporation (“Rite Aid”) and Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”).

“The opioid epidemic has contributed to the destabilization of communities and neighborhoods in Chippewa County,” the suit states. Chippewa County has “been deprived” of “tax revenue and increased the costs of delivering county services.”

Chippewa County files the “civil action to eliminate or, at a minimum, reduce the imminent threat to public health and safety in Chippewa County caused by the opioid epidemic, to abate the nuisance caused thereby, and to recoup municipal monies spent to address the harm that resulted from:
(1) the false, deceptive and unfair marketing of prescription opioids by Defendants, and from
(2) Defendants’ failure to stop plainly suspicious orders of opioids, as defined below. The economic damages suffered by Plaintiff were caused by the use of opioid products that were foreseeable to Defendants and were sustained through Defendants’ patterns of activity directly resulting from their reckless, intentional and unlawful acts and omissions.
