Michigan Man Plotted Attack on Jewish Daycare.

Hassan Chokr, a 35-year-old Michigan man with a history of felony convictions, has pled guilty to federal gun charges in connection with a disturbing plot to attack a Jewish daycare in Bloomfield Hills.

In December 2022, while out on bail, Chokr drove through the Temple Beth El parking lot, yelling antisemitic slurs and threats at children and parents. After the incident, he attempted to purchase three firearms—an AR-15-style rifle, an automatic shotgun, and a Glock pistol—from a Dearborn gun store.

Authorities say he lied on the federal form to conceal prior convictions and a pending assault case. Court records show he referenced “God’s wrath” during the attempt and had posted antisemitic content online. He now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Click here to learn more.

 

Elon Musk Criticizes Trump's Budget Bill as 'Disgusting Abomination'

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Elon Musk is speaking out against President Trump’s proposed federal budget, calling it a “disgusting abomination” in a post shared Tuesday on X (formerly Twitter).

The budget, which aims to stimulate growth through increased domestic energy production and infrastructure spending, also includes large boosts in defense funding and significant tariff hikes on imported steel and aluminum. Trump has defended the bill, saying it’s a bold plan to restore American manufacturing and energy independence.

However, Musk—known for his libertarian leanings—warned that the bill would explode the federal deficit, which is projected to reach $2.5 trillion. He criticized the measure as a betrayal of fiscal conservatives and warned it could lead to long-term economic instability.

Musk’s criticism is especially noteworthy given his previous alignment with some elements of Trump’s policy agenda. His comments signal emerging fractures between the pro-growth and limited-government factions of the right. Click here to read more.

Border Patrol Says Over 1.2 Million ‘Gotaways’ Under Biden

WASHINGTON D.C. - Former border czar Tom Homan warned that America could face a major terror attack due to the surge in illegal immigration under President Biden.

Homan cited more than 1.2 million “gotaways”—individuals who entered the U.S. illegally without being apprehended. He questioned why so many would avoid contact with authorities if the Biden administration is routinely releasing migrants into the interior.

He also referenced the Colorado terrorist attack carried out by Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who had overstayed his visa, as a sign of what’s to come. Homan says border security failures are now the greatest national security threat he's seen in 40 years of law enforcement. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Republicans Move to Impeach Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson

LANSING, Mich -Michigan House Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat and top contender for the 2026 gubernatorial race.

Rep. James DeSana (R-Carleton) is leading the charge, accusing Benson of overstepping her authority by issuing illegal election directives, failing to preserve key election records, and damaging public trust in the electoral process.

The impeachment resolution also cites Benson’s political donations to a PAC supporting Michigan Supreme Court Justice Kyra Harris Bolden. Critics say the donation came shortly before Benson’s department appeared before the court in a case involving election inspectors—raising ethical concerns.

Another point of contention is Benson’s ban on firearms at polling places, which Republicans argue exceeded her legal authority. Click here to read more.

 

DeSantis signs bill extending ban on mRNA vaccine status discrimination

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a piece of legislation that extends protections against discrimination based on mRNA vaccination status for another two years, upholding personal freedom and reinforcing Florida’s commitment to individual rights.

The news was shared on the Florida Department of Health’s “X” account on Tuesday.

What it does: HB 1299 prohibits health care providers and facilities from discriminating against a patient based solely on vaccination status and affirms a patient’s right to impartial access to treatment or accommodations regardless of vaccination status.

• The bill repeals the scheduled expiration of the definition of mRNA vaccines, maintaining the prohibition against discrimination based on vaccination status.

• It also prohibits health care providers and facilities from discriminating against patients based solely on vaccination status.

• The bill requires Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers and Testing Laboratories to report actual or attempted theft, loss, or diversion of medical marijuana to the Department of Health as well as law enforcement, and defines “owners,” “managers,” and “employees” for background screening purposes.

LANSING, Mich. — On Tuesday, State Representative James DeSana (R-Carleton) announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

DeSana's move follows a recent vote in the Michigan House to hold Secretary Benson in civil contempt for allegedly refusing to comply with a legislative subpoena. The subpoena, issued by the House Oversight Committee, sought the full release of election training materials provided to local clerks across the state. While Benson's office released a portion of the materials, key information was reportedly withheld, leading to the contempt vote.

"Our Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, has been found in violation of the law by the courts seven separate times, and she has lost the trust of the people," DeSana stated. "We as Representatives of the people have the responsibility to hold her accountable."

The articles of impeachment are expected to allege constitutional violations, corruption, and abuse of power related to Benson's handling of elections. This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Republican lawmakers and the Democratic Secretary of State over election administration and transparency.

Articles of impeachment against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson are an uphill battle due to the following reasons:

1. Democratic Control of the Legislature

• Michigan’s House and Senate are currently controlled by Democrats (as of 2025). Impeachment requires majority votes in both chambers: first to impeach (House), then to convict and remove (Senate).

• It is highly improbable that Democrats will vote to remove a fellow Democrat from office based on Republican-led charges.

2. High Bar for Impeachment

• Impeachment in Michigan is typically reserved for serious criminal misconduct or gross abuse of office. Political or policy disagreements, even if they involve court rulings, often don't meet that threshold.

• Courts previously ruling against Benson on election issues were largely over administrative decisions—not criminal wrongdoing.

I have reached out to Benson’s office for a statement. If and when I get one I will update this article.

 

 

LANSING, Mich - Michiganders will pay higher fees for vehicle registration, boating, and fishing if the state enacts the $84.6 billion budget for fiscal year 2026 that was recently passed by the Michigan Senate.

The recommendation exceeds Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s budget by more than a billion dollars but still requires the approval of the Michigan House.

The fee increase comes after a six-year period during which Michigan’s budget has grown by 47%.

Lawmakers want to require every Michigander who registers a vehicle to pay an extra $10 for a recreational park pass, a purchase that has been optional to date.

Michigan aims to raise $43.5 million in revenue through the higher recreational fee. The higher hunting and fishing fees are intended to raise $28.8 million, and the higher boating fee aims to bring in $12 million. The new Department of Natural Resources nudget would hire 29 new full-time employees. Click here to read more.

 

CLOVID, CALIF - Over the weekend, this sleepy San Joaquin Valley suburb of Fresno became the focus of the national transgenderism debate. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), the governing body for California high school athletics, hosted the statewide track and field championships at Clovis’s Buchanan High School, during which a boy, AB Hernandez, dominated several of the girls’ events.

Hernandez, a junior from Jurupa Valley High School, located near Riverside, is a boy who claims to be a transgender girl. Under CIF rules and California law, Hernandez has been permitted to compete in girls’ sports. On Saturday, May 31, Hernandez took first place in the girls’ triple jump, tied for first place in the girls’ high jump, and got second place in the girls’ long jump.

Yes, that’s right, the California state girls’ champion in the high and triple jump . . . is a boy. Click here to read more.

 

WASHIGNGTON D.C. - Since President Trump took office in January, some of the world’s largest and most prominent companies have made a clear choice: They are staking their future on a growing presence in the United States. Many of these companies are in the tech sector, and it’s welcome news as the U.S. seeks to secure its leadership position in the race for global technological dominance.

The running tally of new investments to make technology products in America is long, and the investments are substantial. The White House just launched a website called “The Trump Effect,” which lists more than $5 trillion of investments since Mr. Trump began his second term. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Conservative and faith-based services are sounding the alarm about ways that Washington politicians could restrict the freedom to practice their beliefs, citing new provisions that narrowly failed during last week’s passage of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax cut legislation.

Congressional action around election integrity is the impetus for increasing concern that religious freedoms may be caught in the crossfire. Provisions in the legislation would have allowed for expanded surveillance of sensitive areas such as churches, synagogues, and mosques, areas that have historically allowed civic associations to congregate.

The language was nearly included in last week’s omnibus bill passed by the U.S. House, which would have given the federal government additional authority to expand the definition of foreign election interference by nonprofit organizations. Religious advocates say this could jeopardize their tax-exempt status and even their relationships with federally backed banks, which may revoke their accounts. Click here to read more.

 

MURPHY, Texas - A suspect is in custody after police say a Texas elementary school teacher was attacked and robbed outside her school.

Parent Amber Beayrd says a Boggess Elementary School teacher was attacked last Thursday morning just steps from the school building. Several students, including her fourth grade son, witnessed what happened.

“They were outside for the recess activities. He heard some screaming going on, and that’s when he looked and saw everything happening,” Beayrd said.

Arrest documents state Daniel Okungbowa approached the teacher outside the school, asking questions about her job. Police say when the woman walked away, the suspect ran up behind her and grabbed her in a full-body hold. Click here to read more.
