BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

School board bans clapping....seriously

ALPENA, Mich. — A new rule banning applause and other displays of emotion at Alpena Public Schools board meetings has sparked pushback from community members who say the policy infringes on their free speech rights.

The board recently adopted a policy prohibiting clapping, cheering, booing, or any demonstrations from audience members during meetings. Board President Eric Lawson said the restriction is meant to prevent disruptions and maintain order.

“We’re doing our best to show respect to you all and make sure you have adequate time for your comments,” Lawson said during a recent meeting. “Please show the board a little respect as well.”

Not everyone in attendance agreed. Several residents voiced frustration, including one woman who argued that clapping constitutes symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

“Clapping is a universal symbolic action that typically expresses approval,” she said. “Up until one week ago, clapping was a regular occurrence at these ...

EXCLUSIVE: Court records reveal multiple charges filed against Saginaw Intermediate Schools bus assistant

The charges stem from allegations involving a special education student and incidents prosecutors say occurred on a school bus.

SAGINAW, Mich. A Saginaw Intermediate School District bus assistant is facing multiple criminal sexual conduct charges after prosecutors allege he repeatedly engaged in inappropriate contact with a special education student while working for the school district, according to court records filed in Saginaw County District Court.

Morris Holmes is charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree. The charges stem from alleged incidents that prosecutors say occurred over a period of several weeks in the fall of 2025 while Holmes was employed by the Saginaw Intermediate School District.

According to felony complaints filed in district court, prosecutors allege Holmes engaged in repeated inappropriate contact with a student who was receiving special education services through the district. Michigan law classifies criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree as a high court misdemeanor when a school employee, substitute, contractor, or service provider has prohibited contact with a student receiving special education services from the same district.

Saginaw ISD Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Collier released the following statement:

Court records indicate the alleged conduct occurred between late October and late November of 2025 while Holmes was assigned as a bus assistant responsible for transporting students with developmental disabilities. Prosecutors allege the incidents took place on a school bus during regular transportation routes.

According to bond documents filed in circuit court, the alleged incidents were captured by a video camera installed inside the school bus. Prosecutors state they reviewed video evidence that they say shows alleged inappropriate contact occurring on 19 separate days during the time period outlined in the charging documents.

Court records state Holmes was interviewed during the investigation. According to the bond recommendation, Holmes admitted to touching the student and told investigators he believed the contact was intended to calm the individual.

The bond filing further states that school administrators reported Holmes had specifically requested to be assigned to a bus serving individuals with developmental disabilities. Court documents indicate Holmes was placed on leave from his position with the school district following the allegations and the subsequent investigation.

Prosecutors argue in court filings that the likelihood of conviction is high due to the presence of video evidence and Holmes’ statements during the investigation. The bond recommendation also references Holmes’ prior criminal history, which includes a domestic violence conviction from 1998 and a disorderly conduct related conviction from 2024.

As part of pretrial proceedings, prosecutors are requesting a 250,000 dollar cash or surety bond. If Holmes is able to post bond, prosecutors are asking the court to impose several conditions, including GPS monitoring and restrictions that would prohibit contact with any schools.

Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree carries a potential penalty of up to two years in jail and a fine of up to 500 dollars under Michigan law. Court records also note that mandatory testing for sexually transmitted diseases may be ordered if there is a conviction.

The felony complaints include notices related to the Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act. Any registration requirement would be determined later in the legal process and would depend on factors including the nature of the conviction and other criteria outlined in state law.

Holmes is expected to be arraigned in district court, with additional hearings anticipated as the case proceeds through the Saginaw County court system. No trial date has been set.

As with all criminal cases, the charges are allegations. Holmes is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Michigan Democrats Use Federal Vaccine Shake-Up to Push Sweeping Immunization Laws

LANSING, Mich. — As Washington pulls back on certain childhood vaccines, Michigan Democrats are pushing forward with new state rules, insisting parents need more “guidance” amid federal “confusion.”

The legislation comes as federal health policy shifts under U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose moves—including rolling back the hepatitis B shot for newborns—have alarmed Michigan health officials. Democratic lawmakers say the state must reinforce its own immunization authority to counter what they describe as “chaos and distrust” coming from Washington.

Most Michigan school buildings fall below the 95% vaccination rate used as the herd-immunity standard, prompting Democrats to require schools and child-care centers to post anonymized immunization data publicly and send reports directly to parents beginning in 2028. Click here to read more.

Congress Gives the Military $8 Billion More Than It Asked for

The House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2026, giving the military a record $900.6 billion—more than the $892.6 billion base defense budget that the Trump administration’s Department of War had asked for. The Senate is expected to pass the bill next week, sending it to President Donald Trump’s desk.

The American public, of course, isn’t clamoring for more military spending. A poll conducted by the nonprofit Institute for Global Affairs in October 2025 found that 40 percent of Americans wanted to decrease the military budget, 50 percent wanted to keep it the same, and only 10 percent wanted to increase it. And the military itself isn’t even calling for this much more money, either. Congress’ budget pushes funding for programs that the brass wants to get rid of. Click here to read more.

BLM Official in Oklahoma City Charged with Wire Fraud and Money Laundering

A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City has charged Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson with wire fraud and money laundering, U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester announced on Thursday.

“The Department of Justice is committed to unraveling and prosecuting fraud in the Black Lives Matter organization, and this case illustrates how some in the group’s leadership allegedly used donor money to bankroll their own lifestyles,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement provided exclusively to Breitbart News. “We have zero tolerance for any kind of fraud perpetrated against the American people and will continue bringing fraudsters to justice as cases arise.” Click here to read more.

Texas Accuses ‘Radical’ Doctors Of Using Tax Dollars To Fund Secret Trans Procedures On Teenagers

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has expanded a 2024 lawsuit based on new evidence that accuses two doctors of lying to healthcare providers about prescribing transgender procedures on kids in defiance of state law.

Paxton announced additional allegations on Wednesday against two doctors, May Lau and M. Brett Cooper, over alleged healthcare fraud related to their prescription of transgender drugs to minors. Both Lau and Cooper had prescribed transgender drugs to dozens of kids in violation of state law, Paxton said.

“What these radicals were doing was evil, and I will pursue every available legal tool to stop and punish this cruel child abuse,” Paxton said. “Any fraudulent scheme to steal hardworking Texans’ taxpayer dollars will be stopped and repaid in full. Under my watch, the transgender activists using their positions in the medical field to illegally ‘transition’ children will face the full force of the law.” Click here to read more.

Federal probe launched into alleged fraud in small business contracting program

WASHINGTON (TNND) — For decades, the Small Business Administration has set its sights on helping small businesses succeed in a country often dominated by large corporations.

The Business Development Program was meant “to help experienced small business owners who are socially and economically disadvantaged,” and give them priority access to the largest buyer of goods and services in the country.

The program was expanded by President Joe Biden in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), in which he required at least 15% of federal contracts to be given to such companies. Click here to read more.
