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.

Five years ago

🚨Five years ago, this happened in Michigan.🚨
Duane and Margaret Bishop were in a Saginaw hospital fighting COVID. No family was allowed at their bedside. Margaret died first. Duane passed shortly after. They died alone because of government-imposed restrictions. COVID was real, but so were the consequences of those policies. We can never forget what was done to people like the Bishops — and we should never allow it to happen again.

Fiancé of Missing Pregnant Wexford County Woman In Custody After Body Found in Manistee National Forest
Body discovered in the Manistee National Forest as detectives continue questioning the missing woman’s fiancé.

WEXFORD COUNTY Mich. Authorities say the fiancé of a pregnant woman who vanished more than three weeks ago has been taken into custody after searchers discovered a body in the Manistee National Forest.

Investigators confirmed Tuesday that a body was located in a remote part of the forest in Boon during an ongoing search for 32 year old Rebecca Park. Park was last seen on November 4 and her disappearance prompted extensive searches across northern Michigan.

The Wexford County Sheriff’s Office said Park’s fiancé, 35 year old Christopher Huspen, was arrested earlier in the day on unrelated warrants. Detectives say he remains a person of interest as they continue processing evidence connected to the case.

Authorities said formal identification of the body is still underway and have not released a cause of death. The Michigan State Police Crime Lab is assisting with the investigation.

Search teams including volunteers had spent weeks combing through rural areas after friends and family reported that Park’s sudden disappearance was out of character. Her vehicle was later located in a wooded area near Boon which intensified the search effort.

Officials say more information will be released once the medical examiner completes the autopsy. The investigation is ongoing.

Largest battery storage facility in Great Lakes region could be forced on Ludington area thanks to ‘clean energy’ mandate

Plans are in the works for a massive 500-megawatt energy storage facility near Ludington that’s expected to dwarf the largest similar facility in the Great Lakes region by nearly double.

Amber Township Supervisor Tom Alway told Crain’s Grand Rapids Business officials are “doing our due diligence to learn more about” the proposal from NextEra Energy, the same company that owns Florida Power & Light, the largest electric utility in the country.

“We’re still trying to learn more,” Alway said. “What is the overall impact to the township and county, and just trying to understand the whole magnitude of this project.”

Zoning for the project is overseen by Mason County, though legislation approved by a Democratic government trifecta in 2023 allows the developer to circumvent local approval to apply directly to the Michigan Public Service Commission, comprised of three bureaucrats appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Click here to read more.

 

Trump Should Troll the COP30 UN Climate Conference

As we all know, the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) has been running in Brazil. Conservative energy and environmental groups are urging the Trump Administration to stage a boycott, labelling these meetings as a waste of taxpayer money that fail to improve the environment while enriching China.

These groups are right–and that’s exactly why President Donald Trump should attend. Instead of letting the jet-setting climate class hobnob in peace, the president should use their own global stage to troll them for their hypocrisy while boldly promoting his much better record on the environment.

Biden Admin Pressured U.S. Airports To House Illegal Immigrants, Bombshell Senate Report Reveals

The Biden administration pressured at least 11 American airports to house illegal immigrants despite security warnings, a shocking new Senate report revealed Tuesday.

The Biden White House directed the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to identify airports where illegal migrants could be held and processed, according to Fox News, citing the 47-page report, entitled “Flight Risk.” In some instances, the Biden administration asked federal agencies to “divert … resources” to support the illegal migrants.
