LANSING, Mich - When Michiganders’ food stamps are stolen, it can take six to eight weeks for the state to replace the card, according to a fraud expert.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services administers the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which helps feed the state’s most vulnerable people — about 800,000 households.

The dollar amount of reported food stamp fraud increased from fiscal year 2023 to 2024 by 387%, according to documents Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained through a records request. Criminals steal food stamps from Michiganders via card skimmers and card cloning.

Criminals can install fake versions of card readers that process payment cards, such as debit and credit cards, at gas stations, grocery stores and liquor stores. A project proposal from the state health department describes the situation and suggests making benefit cards more secure.

“This project (to switch to chipped debit cards) is expected to realize significant advancements in both improved program integrity as well as benefit delivery modernization,” the proposal says. Click here to rerad more. Click here to read more.

PALERMO, Maine – A K-9 puppy is being credited with rescuing a 5-year-old girl with autism.

According to Main State Police, 10-month-old Millie the bloodhound saved the little girl on Friday in Palermo, Maine.

Police said around 5:30 p.m., Millie and her handler found the missing girl in a cedar swamp, waist-deep in water.

Thankfully, the girl was not hurt.

Police said Millie tracked a scent trail from the girl’s home that was a third of a mile long.

“Millie is only 10 months old, yet she’s already proving herself time and again with her dedication, sweet disposition, and incredible nose,” Maine State Police wrote in a Facebook post. “We’re so proud of Millie and the team — here’s to many more successful missions!”

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Several doctors have said it’s “inconceivable” that former President Joe Biden’s aggressive form of prostate cancer went undetected by his medical team — as first son Don Trump Jr. even questioned whether the health diagnosis was part of a “cover-up.”

The 82-year-old former president was diagnosed Friday after doctors found a “small nodule” on his prostate during a medical exam earlier this month — with the cancer cells having spread to the bone, his spokesman revealed Sunday.

His team said the cancer had been graded a Gleason score of 9, suggesting his form was among the most aggressive.

A handful of medical experts were quick to question how the former president could be diagnosed at such a late stage — especially given that prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork, which is recommended for men over the age of 50. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to remove legal protections for 350,000 Venezuelans, clearing the way for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to include the migrants in their mass deportation program.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court lifted a lower court ruling that blocked the Trump administration from removing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the Venezuelan migrants. The Biden administration initially granted protected status to the migrants in 2021, finding that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s socialist regime had made it too dangerous to return them to their home country. He further extended TPS to Venezuelans in 2023 because of the horrors of Maduro’s regime, as more of them entered the U.S. illegally.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter in the Supreme Court’s 8-1 decision. With protected status lifted, the Trump administration could elect to deport the Venezuelans as part of its mass deportation campaign.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem rescinded the Biden administration’s extension of TPS in February. Weeks later, Obama-appointed federal judge Edward Chen halted Noem’s order, siding with a group of Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries and left-wing activists. The plaintiffs will still be able to challenge the TPS revocation in lower courts with Chen’s nationwide injunction halted for the time being. Click here to read more.

 

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. — Three police officers were shot, including one in the face, after responding to a report of a suspicious person prowling near a residence Saturday night.

A press release from the department said the officers were dispatched to Potomac Drive to investigate at 9:44 p.m. When officers arrived on scene they found “a possible domestic situation,” according to the release. They confronted the suspicious individual, who opened fire on the officers.

WASHINGTON D.C. - A Democrat congresswoman has revived an effort to provide reparations payments to black Americans for slavery, introducing legislation that would cost trillions of dollars.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) reintroduced the Reparations Now resolution, which was first introduced by former Rep. Cori Bush in 2023.

Lee says that the funds are owed to black Americans. “Black folks are owed more than thoughts and prayers. We’re owed repair, we’re owed restitution, and we’re owed justice,” Lee said at a press conference as she announced the reintroduction of the bill. “We’re here to say that there’s no more waiting, no more watering down, no more putting justice on layaway.”

If enacted, the bill is estimated to cost a whopping $14 Trillion The gross domestic product of the entire United States in 2023, by comparison, was just over $27 trillion, while the federal government’s entire budget in that same year was $6.1 Trillion. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - A taxpayer-funded sweepstakes that encourage students to fill out a Free Application for Student Aid is a waste of public money, according to a state House representative.

The 2025 Michigan budget allocates $980,000 for the ‘Ticket to Tuition Sweepstakes,’ Gov. Whitmer promoted April 16. The governor is holding out a chance to share in a purse of $1 million in prizes in her effort to get all students to seek public assistance by filling out the student aid form known commonly as FAFSA.

Whitmer’s tweet included three checked boxes with instructions. “Fill out your FAFSA, Tell a friend to do the same, Enter to win up to $1 million in prizes.”

A webpage for the contest reads in part: “Ten students will win $50,000 and 40 students will win $10,000 cash in a Michigan Education Savings Program account. That’s money that can be used for tuition at a community college, university or career training program, as well as room and board, living expenses and more!” Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - We’ve all been there: you go out with friends, have a great time then they leave you stuck with the bill. After four years of reckless, ruinous and arguably illegal Joe Biden administration policies, America will be stuck with a massive border bar tab for years to come.

President Donald Trump is busy keeping his promises to secure the border, remove aliens in accordance with the law, and hold noncitizen visitors and students accountable for the promises they made when getting visas to respect our country and its rules.

He’s been sued at every step by illegal aliens and their left-wing advocates. Lower-level federal judges—usually, but not always appointed by Democrat presidents and working in Democrat-dominated states—are ordering nationwide injunctions as a default, in cases filed on the flimsiest of legal pretexts.

According to former Attorney General Bill Barr, federal courts issued a total of 27 nationwide injunctions in the entire 20th century, but they’ve issued 79 against Trump alone this century. Click here to read more.

 

EASTLAND, Texas - A routine day turned tragic when a Texas man was attacked by a swarm of bees while mowing the lawn.

Stephen Daniel was mowing the lawn April 27 near an abandoned structure beside Friendship Park when he disturbed a large beehive, according to an Eastland Police report.

The bees swarmed, following Daniel into his vehicle.

As Daniel attempted to escape, he ended up in Chrishae Cooper’s family’s front yard. She saw him struggling to fight off the bees and called 911. Shortly after, police raced to the scene to attempt to help Daniel.

Despite his efforts to flee, Daniel was attacked by a large number of bees. He later died at the hospital from circulatory collapse due to the stings.

A beekeeper was called to remove the hive from the property.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - Across Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, Meta Platforms is racing to popularize a new class of AI-powered digital companions that Mark Zuckerberg believes will be the future of social media.

Inside Meta, however, staffers across multiple departments have raised concerns that the company’s rush to popularize these bots may have crossed ethical lines, including by quietly endowing AI personas with the capacity for fantasy sex, according to people who worked on them. The staffers also warned that the company wasn’t protecting underage users from such sexually explicit discussions.

Unique among its top peers, Meta has allowed these synthetic personas to offer a full range of social interaction—including “romantic role-play”—as they banter over text, share selfies and even engage in live voice conversations with users.

To boost the popularity of these souped-up chatbots, Meta has cut deals for up to seven-figures with celebrities like actresses Kristen Bell and Judi Dench and wrestler-turned-actor John Cena for the rights to use their voices. The social-media giant assured them that it would prevent their voices from being used in sexually explicit discussions, according to people familiar with the matter. Click here to read more.

 

 

LANSING, Mich - Payments caused by fraud in Michigan’s food stamp program jumped by 387% from fiscal year 2023 to 2024, according to documents obtained by a records request. The increase comes at a time when Michigan officials still haven’t switched to safer, more secure cards with embedded microchips.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services approved 592 of 651 requests in fiscal year 2023 to replace stolen benefits, for a total of $181,778.

About 800,000 Michigan households with low incomes purchase food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps. Money from the program is loaded onto state-issued Bridge cards, which recipients can use at approved vendors such as grocery stores. If a criminal rather than the intended recipient uses those funds, the state health and human services department will replace the lost benefits. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - On Thursday, the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee announced that it received bombshell evidence that suggested Pfizer executives pushed to delay full testing for their company’s COVID vaccine until after the 2020 election.

British drugmaker GSK informed the panel that Philip Dormitzer, a former Pfizer executive who became a senior scientist at GSK, told colleagues at GSK that “in late 2020, the three most senior people in Pfizer R&D were involved in a decision to deliberately slow down clinical testing so that it would not be complete prior to the results of the presidential election that year.”

The Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), said that it had sought information from GSK after The Wall Street Journal reported in March that U.S. prosecutors were looking into a tip from the company that came in “soon” after President Donald Trump won a second term in 2024.

NEW YORK, NY - For years now, children across our country have been systematically duped by predators into exposing themselves sexually online. The next step is often blackmail. This is what drove 16-year-old Carter Bremseth to take his life one night in 2021, after volunteering as an altar server at his church.

His mother, Jaime—a licensed mental health counselor—went searching for answers when she discovered the horrible truth. Her kind and caring son had become a victim of sextortion.

Jaime had been proactive in protecting her son online, even educating him about the threat of online predators. Nevertheless, within six months of creating a Snapchat account, he was victimized to death.

Stories like Carter’s should be unthinkable. Instead, they are becoming routine routine.

Given the easy access to children that social media and smartphones provide, there appears to be no way to put a stop to it. Unless, that is, tech companies are held accountable, and parents are better empowered to protect their kids online. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is dead at the University of Michigan, or is it?

“Last week, @RealChrisRufo said incoming U of Florida President Santa Ono crushed DEI as President of the U of Michigan,” conservative activist Karlyn Borysenko posted to X on Wednesday. “So, how did I record a ‘gender & sexuality’ librarian from Michigan two days ago talking about pushing DEI on campus, organizing with students explicitly?”
