Gretchen Whitmer draws the line

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

With the fall of Afghanistan, people are desperate to flee, and many are. But where are they going? Some are coming here – to America! And there have been some politicians who are not happy about this fact.

These unhappy politicians are, of course, primarily Republicans, with special emphasis on Fox Non-news hosts, some of whom appear to be losing their minds on the air just by thinking about this.

But then there is the other side of the equation: the people who are proud to welcome said, refugees. One of them is Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Whitmer is a strong and courageous governor who has been through so much trauma, primarily due to deranged MAGAS who wanted to kidnap her.

It was a pleasure to see the Governor’s statement issued on Friday.

Some of it reads: “Michigan’s greatest strength is and always has been our people. We have a rich history of multiculturalism from the Dutch who settled in the West, to the Finns who mined the North, to the Middle Easterners who made Dearborn a flourishing center for Arab culture, and countless others who make us who we are.”

“Now, as Afghan families flee violence and political persecution, it is our duty and honor to welcome them with that fundamental Michigan spirit of friendliness.”

Thank you, Governor Whitmer. It is essential that Afghan refugees feel welcomed by the great country of America. And Governor Whitmer and Michiganders are helping to make that happen. A big thanks to them.
