The Michigan Medicis of Donald Trump’s America

Left, clockwise from top left Blackwater founder Erik Prince; U.S. Sec of Education Betsy DeVos (Prince); philanthropist Elsa and Prince Corporation founder Edgar Prince. Right, philanthropist Hellen and Amway co-founder Richard DeVos; standing, businessman Dick DeVos.

If you ever wondered where the weird Republican ideas came from or how did we get here, well, here's a piece of the puzzle. Buckle up, it's a long read. Link to full article above. I pulled out quotes on topics below.

"In the solar system of elite Republican contributors, Richard DeVos Sr., who died Thursday at age 92—one of the two founders of Amway, the direct-sale colossus—occupied an exalted place, and his offspring did too. Since the 1970s, members of the DeVos family had given as much as $200 million to the G.O.P. and been tireless promoters of the modern conservative movement—its ideas, its policies, and its crusades combining free-market economics, a push for privatization of many government functions, and Christian social values. While other far-right mega-donors may have become better known over the years (the Coorses and the Kochs, Sheldon Adelson and the Mercers), Michigan’s DeVos dynasty stands apart—for the duration, range, and depth of its influence."

Conservative think tanks, advocacy organizations, and colleges

Grand Valley State University; Calvin College, attended by several generations of DeVoses, including Rich’s daughter-in-law Betsy DeVos, Northwood University, her husband Dick’s alma mater. Hillsdale, the libertarian-plus-Christian liberal-arts college in southern Michigan.

Other recipients of DeVos largesse: the Heritage Foundation, the Institute for Justice, and the American Enterprise Institute

"The DeVoses’ preference for “values-oriented” candidates reflect the teachings of the Christian Reformed Church. A small breakaway denomination of its Dutch forerunner, it has some 300,000 adherents in North America, many living in the same western-Michigan towns where their immigrant ancestors settled in the 1840s to pursue a faith.."

SCHOOL REFORM: Who can forget Betsy DeVos’s campaign to undo the state’s public-education system and replace it with for-profit and charter schools that, as she had put it two decades earlier, shared her mission of “defending the Judeo-Christian values"?

“[Among] her big ‘accomplishments,’” says Diane Ravitch, the N.Y.U. professor and respected education historian, “have been reversing civil-rights enforcement for kids with disabilities, putting administrators from for-profit colleges in charge of monitoring for-profit colleges . . . stabbing in the back young people with heavy debt for their college education, and being a constant critic of public schools.” One saving grace, Ravitch contends, is that DeVos has gotten very few of her budget proposals through Congress. 

LABOR UNIONS: Another target was labor unions. Amway and the Prince Corporation had no use for them. Now the family waged a public fight. After Dick DeVos was routed when he ran for governor of Michigan in 2006, he blamed his defeat, in part, on Michigan’s unions and began to push for a right-to-work law (weakening the unions’ economic power and political clout, a pillar of the state’s Democratic Party). In 2012, the bill got through, and Michigan—headquarters to the United Automobile Workers, no less—became yet another of the country’s right-to-work states.

FAMILY: "Betsy and Erik’s father, Edgar Prince, was a Chrysler-Plymouth salesman and then machine engineer who started a die-cast business and also had a tinkerer’s gift for inventions. One, the lighted vanity mirror on the flip-up sun visor (introduced in 1972), helped Prince become one of the wealthiest men in Michigan." (wow) "As he got richer, the elder Prince rewarded his hometown handsomely; Prince money has done much to preserve downtown Holland, which remains a 1950s time capsule of Candy Land façades."

The C.R.C.’s greatest figure, Abraham Kuyper, a Dutch theologian and prime minister who died almost a century ago, had declared, in words the faithful know by heart: “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”  

The Princes and DeVoses—with neighboring homes in Holland—had effected a merger thanks to the 1979 marriage of their firstborn, Betsy Prince and Dick DeVos, then in their 20s. “Bible-reading jet-setter” was the description in a Detroit Free Press profile of Betsy.

Betsy and Dick own a 22,000-square-foot mansion on Lake Macatawa.

ERIK PRINCE was devoted to his father, who doted on him. He played four sports at Holland Christian and was the proudly straitlaced kid who, without being asked, put away the soccer balls after practice. Prince enrolled in the U.S. Naval Academy in 1987 but was shocked by the frat-house atmosphere—too much for a junior culture warrior who’d been an intern at the Family Research Council. After three semesters, he transferred to Michigan’s Hillsdale College.

Today Hillsdale, under its president, Larry P. Arnn (former head of the Claremont Institute, a citadel of far-right ideology), is known as a feeder school for the Trump administration, including Betsy DeVos’s chief of staff, Josh Venable. In May, the week Vice President Pence gave the commencement address there, Politico called it “the college that wants to take over Washington”—citing many alums who are now D.C. power players. 

In 1989, Erik had been invited to a “youth” inaugural ball for Bush—and there had met Joan Keating, the woman who would become his first wife. Prince even worked as a Bush White House intern. “I saw a lot of things I didn’t agree with,” he later said. “Homosexual groups being invited in, the budget agreement, the Clean Air Act, those kind of bills. I think the administration has been indifferent to a lot of conservative concerns.” He left that job for another, in the office of California congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who has often been called Vladimir Putin’s top Capitol Hill asset, so valued, the Times has reported, that he was given a Kremlin code name.

Prince spent four years with the SEALs in the early 90s but moved on after his wife was diagnosed with cancer and his father, aged 63, died of a heart attack. The elder Prince left behind a business with 4,500 employees. The family sold it for $1.3 billion, and Erik, at 25, now had a sizable inheritance.

One of Prince’s instructors in the SEALs, Al Clark, was also looking to set up a security-and-defense training company. Prince had money to invest. Out of this came Blackwater, which began as an instruction facility for law enforcement, the military, and special-ops squads in Moyock, North Carolina. 

The article goes into detail about Blackwater and it is mind-blowing. Their involvement post 9/11, Russian arms dealings, US government contracts,

"The source says he resigned after he discovered that Prince had approved plans to illegally weaponize aircraft and “actively train former Chinese Red Army personnel that are now being deployed into Pakistan, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Uighur region in China”—actions he perceived as supporting foreign interests above America’s. (Other Prince associates reportedly resigned for similar reasons.) Prince firmly denied the allegations."

tama pacific beach - chapter 1

Posted by u/journeyman_greg | 3 days ago

[Travel] Anyone stayed at Tama Pacific Beach Resort recently? Drones??

Hey folks, just got back from a week at Tama Pacific Beach Resort (the one on Iki Island, pretty exclusive spot, marketed as a luxury "wellness and tech" fusion place), and I gotta say, loved the views, but the drones were something else.

Now I knew going in that they were part of the package. They’re even in the brochure. Supposedly part of the "guest experience enhancement system” which is just a fancy way of saying they follow you around like robotic hummingbirds. They hover just out of reach, super quiet, always there but not really “there,” y’know?

According to staff, they track hydration levels, circadian rhythm, stress markers. Yeah. Not kidding. They even mentioned heart rate variability. Sleek little matte-black things that practically blend into the sky during the day and go borderline invisible at night. Kinda cool... until it’s not.

They don’t call it surveillance (lol obviously), they call it “companion monitoring.” Supposedly for guest safety. To be fair, the island has some sketchy terrain: docks, cliffs, jungle paths. They said guests have gotten hurt before. The drones are “preventative.” Allegedly!!!

But I swear and I’m not the only one who noticed this, they’d drift closer when people got into arguments. If someone was tailing another person too long on the trails, the drone would slow down, hang back a bit. Like it was watching.

One woman in our villa swore her drone “blinked” after she turned the lights off. When she told the concierge, he laughed and said she was probably tired from too much detox. 😬

Also: there are zones in the jungle marked as no-fly for guests, but I saw drones head straight into those parts. Staff didn’t go in there. They just smiled when I asked what was beyond the trees.

Everything was sleek. Branded. Sanitized. A little too perfect.

Asked one of the receptionists what powers the drones, she said “solar.” When I pushed, she just gave me a very corporate smile and said, “It’s all proprietary” in very broken English

Anyone else been there? Just curious if this was a me-being-weird moment or if the place really does have Black Mirror energy.

Neptune from the Royal Au (everything will be redone in digital art when I have more energy!)

HISTORY~

Neptune’s kingdom is known as the forever frozen kingdom, one forged from war and bloodshed from battles long gone, during the multiple wars they were under control of the Sun’s empire and any battle Sun got into so did they, meaning they very war torn for much of their history until the Great War that involved many of the Solar System kingdoms, Neptune was not welling to give up easily as they raised above all else to stay alive and keep their citizens safe.

Sun gave them their independence after this as they couldn’t keep their many colonies under control any long as Sun needed to focus on his own Kingdom.

Clothing~

Warmth is the upmost important as it is almost always snowing or cold out, so they wear multiple layers that keep them warm will also expressing their nation pride, on Neptune’s coat you can see their nation flower that is royal purple and fish, as they have a booming fishing industry (more on it later) underneath the coat is a pale white dress, to keep focus on the elaborate coat, it is light and flowing, as to make it easy to move and not weigh them down, the veil is to keep their head/ears warm and having a layer between her head and crown, as metal can get really cold.

For the braids it’s tradition from the start of their villages to have two braids with dark blue ribbons in their hair for the first daughter, while the other younger daughter wear light blue instead, it shows their maturity and wellness to serve their citizens and are passed down by their mother after they hit puberty, believing that is when they are mature enough to know the responsibility they are excepting by taking the ribbon, this is also a huge celebration that the girl are trained for since they were little.

Extra~

Neptunes kingdom has a lot of bright colours to keep their moods up in the cold weather, it also help other find their way between towns in case of storm comes in. Even if it’s cold out everyone is pretty happy and friendly for those brave enough to visit despite the cold.

They are mostly known as a ice fishing nation, which is how they get most of their fish since the ice makes it hard to fish normally, they sell the freshest and best tasting fish on the market right next to Earth (something she is not happy about lol) if anyone is brave enough to visit it’s for the sea food :)

Neptune has memory loss after part of a castle collapsed onto her during the war, she was only six at the time and has a long lasting consequences because of it, those being memory loss/trouble and phantom pain that strikes up sometime leaving her bedridden.

Uranus parents are the cause of the castle collapse and while they didn’t mean to hurt such a small child, it was collateral from the war effort, Neptune’s parents were wary of Neptune hanging with Uranus (this is long after the war) but lighted after they saw how much it helped with Neptune’s memory problems as well as making Neptune more social then she was before. Now the parents are more friendly with each other, often going over to Uranus nation a few times a year (Uranus would go over to Neptune’s but had health problems which are also consequence from the war more on it in Uranus section)

Neptune is very close with Uranus and they try to keep in touch via mail, she is not as close to the other gas giants but is friendly with them.

She doesn’t really know the rocky planets, maybe when she was younger but can no longer remember anything about them, same with Sun even if she was their ruler for years

I’m probably going to post Uranus’ next, I’ve been really enjoying making up stories for all the different kingdoms and what their kingdoms would be like, if anyone else want so join in I’ll be happy to share it and talk with them to bounce ideas off each other!

Here’s so extra drawing I’ve made, mostly for the villagers outfits

Excerpt from this story from Anthropocene Magazine:

I write about the climate and energy for a living and even I can’t quite wrap my head around how cheap low-carbon power technologies have gotten. The cost of onshore wind energy has dropped by 70% over just the last decade, and that of batteries and solar photovoltaic by a staggering 90%. Our World in Data points out that within a generation, solar power has gone from being one of the most expensive electricity sources to the cheapest in many countries—and it’s showing little signs of slowing down.

So where does this all end?

Back in the 1960s, the nuclear industry promised a future in which electricity was too cheap to meter. Decades later, the same vision seems to be on the horizon again, this time from solar. It seems, well, fantastic. Perhaps (almost) free renewable power leads to climate utopia. Then again, should we be careful what we wish for?

The Road To Decarbonization Is Paved With Cheap Green Power

1. More renewables = less carbon. The math isn’t complicated. The faster we transition to clean energy, the less carbon dioxide we’re adding to the atmosphere and the fewer effects of global warming we will suffer.While humanity is still emitting more greenhouse gases than ever, the carbon intensity of electricity production has been dropping for well over a decade.

2. Cheap, clean power also unlocks humanitarian goals. Modern civilization rests on a foundation of electricity. Beyond its obvious uses in heating, cooling, cooking, lighting and data, electricity can decarbonize transportation, construction, services, water purification, and food production. Increasing the supply and reducing the cost of green electricity doesn’t just help the climate, it improves equity and quality of life for the world’s poorest.

3. Scrubbing the skies will take a lot of juice. Once we get emissions under control, it’s time to tackle the mess we’ve made of the atmosphere. Today’s direct air capture (DAC) systems use about two megawatt hours of electricity for every ton of CO2 plucked from fresh air. Scale that up to the 7 to 9 million tons we need to be removing annually in the US by 2030, according to the World Resources Institute, and you’re looking at about 0.5% of the country’s current energy generation. Scale it again to the nearly 1,000 billion tons the IPCC wants to sequester during the 21st century, and we’ll need every kilowatt of solar power available—the cheaper the better.

Cheap Power Has Hidden Costs

1. Cheap technology doesn’t always mean cheap power. If solar cells are so damn cheap, why do electricity bills keep rising? One problem is that renewables are still just a fraction of the energy mix in most places, about 20% in the US and 30% globally. This recent report from think-tank Energy Innovation identifies volatility in natural gas costs and investments in uneconomic coal plants as big drivers for prices at the meter. Renewables will have to dominate the energy mix before retail prices can fall. 

2. The cheaper the power, the more we’ll waste. Two cases in point: cryptocurrency mining and AI chat bots. Unless we make tough social and political decisions to fairly price carbon and promote climate action, the market will find its own uses for all the cheap green power we can generate. And they may not advance our climate goals one inch.

3. Centuries of petro-history to overcome. Cheap power alone can only get us so far. Even with EVs challenging gas cars, and heat pumps now outselling gas furnaces in the US, there is a monumental legacy of fossil fuel systems to dismantle. Getting 1.5 billion gas cars off the world’s roads will take generations, and such changes can have  enormous social costs. To help smooth the transition, the Center for American Progress suggests replacing annual revenue-sharing payments from coal, oil, and natural gas production with stable, permanent distributions for mining and oil communities, funded by federal oil and gas revenue payments.

Hermes is one of the few deities that developed at an accelerated rate! His trickster mischievous nature started early in life, as a one day old godling when he stole stole a herd of cattle from Apollo after leaving the watchful eye of Maia in a cave in Arcadia. Even as a baby, his cleverness was in full effect to cover his tracks- such as tying brooms to the cattle’s tails to erase their footprints in addition to creating sandals from tree branches to prevent them from making noise. When Apollo brought the chubby baby before Zeus to face justice, the king sat on his throne with an amused look on his face. Hermes, playing into the sweet innocent facade, babbled incoherently. Zeus took Hermes into his arms, smiling. “O gios mou,” he replied, laughing boisterously. 

He’s even credited with the creation of the lyre, his older half brother’s divine symbolic musical instrument.  

Hermes loves eating poached eggs with bacon & hash browns for breakfast. He also likes rizogalo, belgian waffles (topped with strawberries, powdered sugar, & whipped cream), as well as cereal- Omega Lightning Flakes and Grains of Olympus.

He’s fond of saying puns, adopting them into his everyday speech.

Hermes adores his mother, always taking the opportunity to shower her with expensive gifts. They keep in touch through video calls & texting and he's always traveling to Arcadia anyway. They love mountain climbing together.

His royal issued crown is a platinum circlet adorned with fat citrines and diamonds.

Instead of smoking cigarettes, Hermes uses a vape pen. His favorite vape flavors are strawberry, mint, cherry, cola, and coffee!

Snagging Inspection for Apartments vs Villas: What's Checked and Why It’s Different

When it comes to snagging inspections, both apartments and villas go through a rigorous process—but what’s inspected and why it differs significantly. Simply put, snagging inspections for apartments tend to focus more on interiors and shared systems, while villas require broader assessments including structural, external, and standalone utility checks.

Whether you're about to receive keys to a high-rise apartment or a luxury standalone villa, a snagging inspection is a must-do step. This detailed review helps you identify defects or unfinished work before you take possession. While the goal remains the same—ensuring quality and value for money—the process diverges depending on the type of property.

Why Snagging Inspections Matter

Imagine moving into a brand-new home only to find leaky pipes, cracked tiles, or poorly installed windows. A proper snagging inspection prevents such disappointments by catching these issues early. Especially in fast-paced real estate markets like Dubai, where properties are completed rapidly to meet demand, the importance of a thorough handover inspection in Dubai cannot be overstated.

Both apartments and villas undergo snagging inspections, but they aren't identical. The nature of construction, layout, and amenities influence what gets checked.

For reliable, professional assessments, property owners often turn to trusted snagging services to ensure a thorough and unbiased review.

What Gets Checked in Apartments

Apartments are typically part of a larger building complex. This means the inspection focuses primarily on:

Interior Finishes: Walls, ceilings, floors, paintwork, and tiling are closely examined. Any cracks, stains, or improper installations are flagged.

Doors and Windows: Inspectors check for alignment, locking mechanisms, ease of movement, and proper sealing.

Kitchen and Bathrooms: Fixtures, fittings, cabinets, and waterproofing are inspected to ensure functionality and quality.

HVAC Systems: Centralized air conditioning units and thermostats must be tested for performance.

Plumbing and Electrical: Faucets, drains, light switches, sockets, and circuit boards are tested.

Appliances (if included): Built-in appliances like ovens, cooktops, or washing machines are checked for installation and operation.

Fire Safety Compliance: Smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and fire exits within the apartment.

However, shared areas like hallways, lifts, or common amenities fall under the building management's responsibility. These are not usually covered in a private snagging inspection unless specifically requested.

For a detailed, independent evaluation of your unit, getting a property snag report ensures no defect goes unnoticed.

What Gets Checked in Villas

Villas present a more complex case for snagging inspections due to their independent nature and greater square footage. Here, inspections extend beyond the interiors:

Structural Integrity: Walls, roofing, foundations, and external finishes are inspected for any cracks, misalignments, or moisture ingress.

External Spaces: Gardens, fences, driveways, terraces, and any installed landscaping features are assessed.

Roofing and Waterproofing: Since villas have direct exposure to weather, special attention is given to waterproofing and drainage systems.

Facade and Paintwork: The exterior of the building is thoroughly reviewed for uniformity, quality, and weather resistance.

Windows and Doors (including external): Security features and weather-sealing are evaluated more critically than in apartments.

Utilities: Villas often have standalone water tanks, pumps, and sometimes solar panels—all need inspection.

Garage and Ancillary Structures: Carports, outbuildings, or maid quarters (if any) are part of the review.

A villa inspection also covers a wider range of safety checks, especially concerning the property's boundary and standalone fire and security systems.

Choosing professional snagging inspection services is crucial for villa owners, where the margin for unnoticed flaws is greater.

Key Differences: Apartments vs Villas

To better understand how inspections differ, let’s break down the core distinctions:

Scope of Inspection:

Apartments: Mostly internal checks.

Villas: Internal + structural + external.

Systems Complexity:

Apartments: Centralized systems for HVAC, plumbing.

Villas: Independent systems requiring individual assessment.

External Features:

Apartments: Minimal or none.

Villas: Gardens, driveways, fences, private pools, etc.

Shared Responsibilities:

Apartments: Common areas handled by building management.

Villas: Homeowner bears complete responsibility.

Cost of Repairs:

Missed issues in villas can lead to costlier fixes due to the scale and autonomy of systems.

This is why expert-led Dubai property snagging services adapt their process depending on whether the property is an apartment or villa.

Real-World Example: Apartment vs Villa Inspection Case Study

Case 1: Apartment in Business Bay, Dubai A client hired a snagging company before taking possession of a new apartment. The inspection revealed:

Misaligned kitchen cabinetry

Scratches on bedroom flooring

Low water pressure in the bathroom

Thanks to the handover inspection Dubai process, the developer was required to address these issues before final sign-off.

Case 2: Villa in Arabian Ranches In contrast, a villa inspection revealed:

Foundation cracks near the garage

Poor waterproofing on the roof

Non-functioning solar heater

Drainage slope errors in the garden area

These defects could have led to major repairs post-handover, but the snagging report allowed the homeowner to demand fixes in advance.

Why the Difference Matters

Understanding the difference in snagging inspections is not just academic. It determines the depth, cost, and timing of your inspection process.

If you’re buying an apartment, your focus should be tight and detailed, mostly within four walls. But for villa buyers, especially in high-end communities, a comprehensive inspection can prevent long-term financial headaches.

Even the best developers can miss things. Snagging isn't about mistrust—it's about due diligence.

Expert Insights: What Professionals Say

According to seasoned property inspectors at GTA Inspectors, over 80% of new properties show some form of defect during handover. "Villas especially tend to have critical issues with waterproofing and drainage if rushed," notes one senior engineer.

Industry statistics indicate:

90% of apartment inspections reveal minor issues like paint, sealants, or fixture misalignments.

60% of villa inspections reveal both minor and major issues including roofing, plumbing, and structural faults.

This validates the need for tailored snagging checklists.

Practical Tips for Buyers

Time Your Inspection: Conduct it close to handover but with enough time for the developer to address issues.

Hire Professionals: DIY checks miss what expert snagging services won’t.

Document Everything: Get a photographic property snag report to support your claims.

Follow-Up: Ensure that the developer resolves all identified issues before you finalize the handover.

Tailor the Checklist: Use property-specific templates—villa checklists are more detailed and diverse.

Conclusion: Choose the Right Snagging Path

In conclusion, snagging inspections are vital for both apartments and villas, but the process differs due to the unique nature of each property type. Apartments lean toward internal finish checks while villas demand broader, structural, and external reviews.

Being informed empowers you to ask the right questions and demand the right fixes. Whether it's a studio apartment in downtown Dubai or a sprawling villa in the suburbs, a thorough snagging inspection safeguards your investment.

For peace of mind, consult with experienced professionals in snagging inspection and ensure you get what you paid for—a perfect new home.

3. A Lifestyle That Goes Beyond Square Feet

Today’s discerning buyers want more than just space—they want a lifestyle that complements their values. Krishna Downtown offers just that. With increasing interest in wellness, remote working, and community living, these villas are thoughtfully equipped to support all aspects of modern life.

4. Investing Smarter: Why These Villas Make Financial Sense

Real estate is one of the most reliable ways to grow wealth, and villas in upcoming neighborhoods like Phulnakhara offer exceptional potential for long-term returns. Unlike apartments, villas provide a higher appreciation rate due to their independent nature, lower density, and larger land share.

In the case of Krishna Downtown, buyers get a premium product at a competitive price point, in a location that is still developing—meaning the cost of entry is relatively low now, but likely to increase as infrastructure grows and demand surges. For investors, this means stronger resale value and the possibility of earning attractive rental income.

5. Sustainability Meets Smart Living

Another strong reason to choose Krishna Downtown is its emphasis on sustainability. The project integrates eco-friendly features such as rainwater harvesting, solar lighting in common areas, and efficient waste management systems. These initiatives not only reduce the environmental impact but also help homeowners cut down on monthly utility costs.

Moreover, with the increasing focus on green and smart homes across India, investing in a sustainable property gives you an edge in the future real estate market.

6. Community, Security, and Peace of Mind

Security is a growing concern for families and senior citizens alike. Krishna Downtown offers a fully gated community with 24x7 security, CCTV surveillance, and professional management—providing peace of mind to residents. Add to that a warm, like-minded community of homeowners, and you get a neighborhood that feels both safe and welcoming.

Whether you're raising kids or planning your retirement, this kind of supportive environment plays a crucial role in long-term satisfaction and well-being.

7. Your Gateway to Smart Urban Living

For those looking to make a move to a larger home—or for investors seeking long-term capital growth—this is the right time to explore 4 BHK villas in Phulnakhara Bhubaneswar. Krishna Downtown offers the chance to own a villa that’s not only future-ready but also strategically located, beautifully designed, and smartly priced.

From layout to location, amenities to affordability, it checks every box that today’s buyers care about. And with only a limited number of villas available, early movers stand to gain the most.

Conclusion

Living smart isn’t just about technology—it’s about making informed, forward-thinking choices. And investing smarter means recognizing opportunities before the market catches up. Krishna Downtown offers both: a superior lifestyle today and a secure, appreciating asset for tomorrow.

If you're ready to take the next step in life and investment, now is the time. 4 BHK villas in Phulnakhara Bhubaneswar are more than just homes—they're a lifestyle upgrade and a smart financial move.
