We love you for being a great teacher of the week and of course go to wnic.com to learn more. Couple Fox News headlines today. Residents near Bellville say some gravel roads in Sumpner Township are in terrible shape, filled with potholes, standing water, deep ruts that can damage cars, slow down emergency vehicles, Township leaders have now declared a public safety emergency and are pressuring
Wayne County, which maintains the roads to fix the problem. Excuse me, gravel roads, my flat out dirt roads and I know exactly what roads are talking about. A long time ago, I remember being in the car with Jill and maybe my mom and she was door dashing. And we were off of Ross andville, maybe Bellville, but we were over that way. And I was so angry, I was in the car so angry, I was going to rent a car because I was going to put my car through it. Pop all the tires. Even going through those. My car was going through it at that moment because Jill didn't have her own car. I was going to rent a car and literally make a documentary. It took us probably four minutes to get down a road because the potholes were so distraught so unacceptable. And I couldn't believe it. Like that's how mad I was. I was like, I'm going to rent a car just to make a, and meanwhile people that live on that road were like flying and I'm like, I don't know how you're doing that. You're ruining your car. I mean, I'm just saying. It is odd that there's, there are still gravel roads. Yeah, I don't know in these Americas.
In the Americas in 2026. I mean, I get it for a deep, deep farmland, but there's something, but I mean, that's something or township. What else do we have? A serious story. Two teenagers are being held without bail. Their police say they tried to set off homemade explosive devices during a protest outside of the New York City mayor's home. Investigators say one device was a confirmed IED, but police do not believe the incident is connected to the recent US attack on Iran. Just a couple idiots. It says it's an ice, it says ISIS linked plot. So maybe it's a young ISIS, I don't know. We had the news on yesterday. They said they wanted it to be bigger than the Boston bombing. Yes. Yep. And finally, this morning, travelers at home and airports across the country are going to start facing some serious security lines as long as three hours, because TSA staffing is stretched during the partial government shutdown.
About 50,000 screeners are currently working without pay. Detroit Metro Airport says security lines here are moving absolutely fine, just totally normal. But some of the videos I'm seeing online are just wild. Like, can you think, can you imagine the Atlanta airport, I mean, the airport is huge. Yeah. And if they're down like half their TSA members, a good luck getting through. The one I see all the time that posts all the time is in the Houston airport because the line goes all the way out the airport and then into the parking garage. It's just crazy. Excuse me. This is a fairly new government, right? Over a little over a year, when was the elect 2024? Yeah. Okay. And we feel like it's, we think it might have shut down three times. That's not okay. No. You haven't been in there that, I mean, this is a lot of shutdowns. Yeah. The issue here, I mean, I'm not going to be political, but the issue on why this is where it's at right now is because one side wants to just get this through.
The other side is saying, we'll put it through once you fix the ice stuff, that, you know, and what's that called when they're just, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're still me. Yeah, they're still me. Yeah. And I get it. I get it. Right. So one side saying the only way to stand up for this is by this, but the problem is, is that there's got to be another way to get the messaging around or, I don't know, it has to be something that you can kind of like come to a middle ground with. You know, you look, why do people's paychecks always have to be dangling out there for some other, like, like figure out the other thing. Just go figure the other thing out, figure it out, which they're not going to. Right. I mean, there's no middle ground. I'm saying, well, none of their paychecks are affected by it, so it's the people who need their paychecks, the, whatever, postal workers or TSA workers or, I don't know, whoever's a government employee, but, you know, I wonder if that would force, I wonder if that would force politicians to make decisions or work harder for some kind of solution.
If at any point the government shuts down everyone in Washington that votes immediately gets no pay, I don't think that would make a difference. That's how it kind of should go, I mean, they're the ones making the decision, so your checks go first. Right. Yeah. I mean, that seems fair. Yeah, it's like a system of like, it starts with you. Yeah. Yeah. I like this. I feel so strongly about my vote. I'm put my own paycheck on the line. I won't get paid either. Right. Yeah. I think you should run for office and put that through rails. Okay. I'm sure that I think you should all run for office for multiple reasons. Yeah. I'm sure some pro temp position. If so, Annie would get that done. I would so nail it. I'm surprised. They don't just call me on the phone. You do know though that you can't cancel, like, council meetings and stuff like that. Actually, I don't know that Chelsea doesn't know that. Nearly home.
