Kid Rock is stepping up his political messaging as he considers a run for Senate in Michigan.

In a recent rant posted to Facebook (warning: graphic language) music legend Kid Rock continued

to prime himself for an upcoming Senate run.

In the post, Kid Rock took aim at a number of liberal institutions that have become aggressive

towards him since he started flirting with federal politics including Al Sharpton.

"Has Al Sharpton even paid his back taxes yet?"

Kid Rock asked.

Kid Rock explains that the liberal mainstream media completely changed their approach to

the 46-year-old rock star after he launched kidrockforsenate.com.

Kid Rock has not formally announced his intentions to run for office, yet the mainstream media

is attacking Kid Rock with full force for challenging Democrat incumbent Debbie Stabenow.

"Pay NO attention to the garbage the extreme left is trying to create!"

Kid Rock wrote, before explaining the mainstream reaction to his campaign.

Rock explained that a recent series of articles accusing him of racism were only published

"to stir the pot, when we all know none of this would be going on if I were not thinking

of running for office."

Kid Rock was recently selected to headline a series of concerts at the newly constructed

Little Ceasars Arena in Detroit.

The Michigan native was asked by Olympia Entertainment to perform six concerts to open the new venue.

The National Action Network (NAN) Al Sharpton's civil rights group, immediately came out to

denounce Olympia Entertainment for selecting Kid Rock, accusing him of racism for displaying

the Confederate Battle Flag at concerts.

"When you hire Kid Rock, who is known to be dog-whistling and catcalling to white supremacist

organizations and the white supremacist community, alt-right, whatever you want to call them,

and you take our tax dollars to do that?

That's wrong," explained NAN Detroit president Rev. Charles Williams II.

Kid Rock, however, thinks this is also political.

"Pretty funny how scared I have them all and their only agenda is to try and label

people / me racist who do not agree or cower to them!!

No one had a word to say when we sold out the 6 shows at LCA back in January," he

wrote in his Facebook post.

Kid Rock lives in Detroit and is a proud contributor to the local community.

In 2014 Rock was granted a NAACP award for his charitable actions by the Detroit chapter

of the NAACP.

Kid Rock has previously donated to Al Sharpton's civil rights group, but that is coming to

an end.

"I am however very disappointed that none of the people, businesses or charities I have

so diligently supported in Detroit have had anything to say about all these unfounded

attacks from these handful of jacka***s and The Detroit Free Press," Kid Rock wrote

on Facebook.

"So for the unforeseen future I will focus my philanthropy efforts on other organizations

besides the ones I have supported in the past.

I would however employ that NAN go ahead and make up these losses since they claim to be

so good for Detroit and do not want me opening the arena and generating tons of jobs and

tax dollars for the city and people I LOVE."

It will be interesting to see how the public will respond with their votes if Kid Rock

does decide to run for office.

One thing is for certain: he won't be holding his tongue.

Supreme Court agrees with Trump administration, says some refugees can be barred for now

The Supreme Court agreed with the Trump administration Tuesday and put on hold a lower court decision that would have allowed more refugees to enter the country.

The court issued a one-paragraph statement granting the administration's request for a stay of the latest legal maneuvering involving the president's executive order on immigration. There were no recorded dissents to the decision.

At issue is whether the president can block a group of about 24,000 refugees, who have assurances from sponsors, from entering the United States. A panel of the U.S.

Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit had interpreted a Supreme Court directive this summer to mean that they should be allowed in, but the government objected.

It is part of a complicated legal battle that began last January when President Trump issued his first version of the ban. The Supreme Court is scheduled to consider the merits of his actions at a hearing Oct.

The current case grows out of a Supreme Court decision last June that approved a limited version of a presidential order that temporarily blocked refugees and citizens of six majority-Muslim countries.

 The justices said Trump could impose a limited version of the measure, but not on those with a "bona fide" connection to the United States, such as having family members here, a job or a place in a U.S. university.

It is the interpretation of a "bona fide" connection to the United States that is being debated. The government initially declined to include grandparents and other extended family members as meeting that standard, as well as refugees with formal assurances.

A federal district judge said the government's reading was too broad, and stopped it. The Supreme Court largely upheld that ruling in July, though it put on hold the portion dealing with refugees.

Last week, a federal appeals court panel weighed in, deciding that the administration could block neither grandparents nor refugees with assurances.

 The Justice Department this week asked the Supreme Court to step in again — though only to block refugees, not grandparents and other extended family members.

Even those refugees with formal assurances from a resettlement agency lack the sort of connection that should exempt them from the ban, the Justice Department argued in its new filing to the Supreme Court.

"The absence of a formal connection between a resettlement agency and a refugee subject to an assurance stands in stark contrast to the sort of relationships this court identified as sufficient in its June 26 stay ruling," Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey B.

Wall wrote in his filing.

"Unlike students who have been admitted to study at an American university, workers who have accepted jobs at an American company, and lecturers who come to speak to an American audience, refugees do not have any free-standing connection to resettlement agencies, separate and apart from the refugee-admissions process itself, by virtue of the agencies' assurance agreement with the government," the filing said.

In response, the state of Hawaii, which is challenging the travel ban, told the Supreme Court that the government's argument made no sense.

"Refugees with formal assurances are the category of foreign nationals least likely to implicate the national security rationales the government has pointed to in the past," wrote Washington lawyer Neal Katyal, who is representing Hawaii.

"By the government's own admission, these refugees have already been approved by the Department of Homeland Security.

It is therefore exceedingly unlikely that they represent a security threat." Time is beginning to become a factor in the broader fight over Trump's travel ban.

The measure was supposed to have been temporary — lasting 90 days for citizens of the six affected countries, and 120 days for refugees.

If the measure is considered to have taken effect when the Supreme Court allowed partial implementation, the 90 days will have passed by the time the justices hear arguments Oct.

10, and the 120 days are very likely to have passed by the time they issue a decision. Some deadlines for reports have also seemingly passed.

The Department of Homeland Security secretary was — within 20 days of the order taking effect — to have given Trump the results of a worldwide review determining what information was necessary from other countries to vet travelers.

The countries that weren't supplying adequate information were then to be given 50 days to begin doing so, and after that, top U.S. officials were to give Trump a list of countries recommended for inclusion in a more permanent travel ban.

A Homeland Security spokesman said a report was delivered to the White House in early July on the results of the review, and officials then went about assessing each country on the information it provided He said Homeland Security officials were "evaluating the information received and will provide a report to the president in the coming weeks."  .
