NEWS THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE

ATHENS, GA - Laken Hope Riley, the 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student allegedly killed by an illegal alien released into the United States, is the latest American woman to fall victim to the federal government’s inability to enforce immigration law.

SACRAMENTO, CA - A judge in California has upheld a local school district’s ban on the teaching of Critical Race Theory in the Temecula Unified School District, as well as a policy requiring the district to notify parents if their child decides to change genders at school.

LANSING, Mich - Right-to-work protections no longer apply to people who work in the private sector, meaning that if a union’s collective bargaining unit covers them, they must pay the union.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Democratic majorities in the Michigan Legislature repealed Michigan’s right-to-work law last fall, and the repeal took effect Feb. 13.

DENVER, COL - The high-altitude balloon that was intercepted earlier this week over the U.S. was likely a “hobby balloon,” officials said Saturday.

The balloon, which flew at an altitude of over 40,000 feet over Utah and Colorado, did not pose a security threat, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said in a statement to multiple outlets.

MECOSTA COUNTY, Mich - Michigan residents may have ponied up $715 million in subsidies and millions of dollars more in tax abatements for the nascent Gotion Inc. electric vehicle battery plant in Mecosta County, but a wide swath of the county’s residents isn’t taking it lying down.

LANSING, Mich - Two State Board of Education members spoke out recently against the Michigan Department of Education’s plans to seek a homeschool registry.

“This whole homeschool thing is quite disturbing,” said one of the trustees, Tom McMillin, a Republican, at the board’s Feb. 13 meeting. An eight-minute clip of the meeting, posted on X by @WallStreetApes, went viral.

LANSING, Mich - Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants a circuit court to dismiss a lawsuit alleging civil rights violations in the state’s efforts to protect transgender residents.

Studio 8 Hair Lab in Traverse City faces fines and suspension of its business license after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights in November charged owner Christine Geiger with violations of the Elliot-Larson Civil Rights Act over a Facebook post this summer.

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Supreme Court heard a case this week in which, by following the Constitution, it can help states save money, electricity generation, and lives while lower courts consider a legal challenge to strict new regulations that President Joe Biden is trying to impose.

In agency after agency, Biden’s appointees wildly exceed their legal authority, which is why radical new regulations have been struck down so often by courts in areas from education to energy to immigration to health, among others. This time the power grabbers come from the Environmental Protection Agency.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. — The West Allis Police Department said 14-year-old Leila M. Gutierrez has been located on Thursday night.

She was last seen on Feb. 9 near 70 and Becher streets in West Allis. On Feb. 16, police issued a missing person alert stating that she was reported as a runaway.

WYOMING, Mich. — Two Michigan parents were charged with child abuse Friday in what the Kent County Prosecutor’s Office alleges was torture that went on for over a decade.

CHICAGO, IL - A blind seal rescued in Maine has given birth at an Illinois zoo.

The eleven-year-old seal named Georgie gave birth last weekend to a nearly 35-pound pup.

She's gained 15 pounds in just a week and zoo officials say she has been practicing her swimming skills in a pool

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said.

Sunday’s heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee.

DEL RIO, TX - It’s believed to be a record-breaking meth bust at the border.

The United States Customs and Border Protection says officers seized 6.5 tons of methamphetamine valued at $117 million in a single enforcement action on Sunday.

The agency says it’s the largest meth seizure recorded at a port of entry.

CHICAGO, IL - Mayor Brandon Johnson is spending $8.6 million to extend the city’s controversial deal with ShotSpotter for nine final months — shelling out significantly more than the city paid for the entire past year of service.

Johnson announced last week the city planned to shut down the gunshot detection system after the historically violent summer months and the Democratic National Convention, making good on a key campaign promise.

DUNKIRK, Md. - A Maryland businesswoman made a startling discovery after going through a recent lot of items brought to her auction house.

It all started when a woman from Dunkirk, Maryland, who wants to remain anonymous, got a bizarre phone call from lawyers that a loved one had passed away.

NEW YORK, NY - The power of a six-figure (or more) salary is seemingly fading depending on where you live, bumping some U.S. earners into a "lower middle class" status.

"In America’s most expensive cities, the bar has definitely been raised to be considered ‘middle class,’" GOBankingRates lead content data researcher Andrew Murray told Fox News Digital. "To escape the lower middle class, you’ll need to earn as much as $150,000, which is substantially higher than what it used to be."

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - Google is offering a mea culpa for its widely-panned artificial intelligence (AI) image generator that critics trashed for creating "woke" content, admitting it "missed the mark."

NASHVILLE, TN - Nashville’s Democrat mayor released the names of multiple federal law enforcement agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), drawing ire from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, who say that the mayor is putting law enforcement at risk.

Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s office released information on interactions between ICE agents and Nashville emergency service personnel, dropping data that included the names of federal law enforcement personnel. O’Connell says their names were released by mistake, but the Department of Homeland Security isn’t convinced.

“They claimed it was a mistake. There’s zero chance it was a mistake and there will be repercussions,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin charged in response to the incident. “Our ICE enforcement officers are already facing a 400% increase in assaults against them and he’s essentially handing over intelligence to these criminal gangs so they can target our ICE enforcement officers. It’s wrong. It’s beneath the city of Nashville.” Click here to read more.

 

Michigan’s economy is experiencing the consequences of the state’s two years of Democratic policymaking.

Michigan’s Democratic lawmakers passed a lot of bad laws in 2023. They now force workers to pay unions. They voted to stop using the state’s already paid-for power plants and move to unreliable wind and solar. They increased the costs of government construction for no other reason than to hand construction unions a favor. And they gave out billions in pork projects.

It’s no way to run a state or serve its people. It’s no way to put the state ahead, either. Michigan’s economy has fallen behind since the new laws went into effect last February.

Michigan’s unemployment rate is veering in the wrong direction, rising from 4.0% to 5.5%, the third worst in the nation, behind only Nevada and Washington D.C. While most of the country is scrambling to fill jobs, in Michigan, it’s getting harder to find one. Click here to read more.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - California has declared war on its middle class, and the special interests controlling the state are doing everything they can to impose this punitive economic model on the rest of America. It’s a quasi-feudal system, with the entire population divided into aristocrats and serfs. The means to destroy the middle class is to engineer an unaffordable cost of living for households, and a regulatory environment that only huge corporations can afford to navigate. The moral justification for this destruction is to cope with the “climate emergency” and to achieve social “equity.”

While the Trump interregnum has slowed the march of neo-feudalism in the rest of America, in California, the plan continues to move relentlessly forward. If you’re extremely wealthy, California’s abusive cost of living is not a big concern, and you stay for the scenic beauty and abundant sunshine. If you’re extremely poor, you stay because California’s taxpayer-funded assistance programs—financial aid, food assistance, healthcare, and other support services—offer a lifestyle orders of magnitude better than what you may have previously endured in the barrios of Tegucigalpa or the suburbios of Maputo.

But if you’re not rich, and you’re not poor, but just work, pay taxes, and pay for everything you need with after-tax earnings and without government assistance, California is a hostile environment. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Department of Labor on Thursday announced it has paused its Job Corps operations, cautioning that the program has issues with student safety and fiscal sustainability.

“Job Corps was created to help young adults build a pathway to a better life through education, training, and community,” Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a written statement. “However, a startling number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis reveal the program is no longer achieving the intended outcomes that students deserve.”

The Department of Labor just released its first-of-its-kind Job Corps Transparency Report, using data from program year 2023, which found concerning results.

The Job Corps program is a federally funded residential career training and education program that is often popular with unions and centered around low-income young adults.

The report found that the average graduation rate for the program is only 32 percent. After graduating from the program, participants only earned $16,000 annually, which is barely above the poverty line. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON — San Francisco education officials have swiftly abandoned a controversial "equity grading" system for K-12 schools just a day after its introduction, following intense bipartisan backlash.

The proposed system allowed students to retake tests, skip homework without penalty, and earn an "A" with an 80% score. A 41% would receive a "C."

"This policy proves California stays at the top of the idiot index. This is such a stupid idea," criticized businessman Kevin O'Leary.

"You want to teach kids good habits so when they become an adult, they can be successful in the adult world, and what equitable grading does is it rewards or incentivizes unsuccessful behaviors," explained Rhyen Staley, a researcher with Parents Defending Education.

San Francisco's Democratic Mayor Daniel Lurie expressed his own concerns on social media, writing, "We owe our young people an education that prepares them to succeed. The proposed changes to grading at SFUSD would not accomplish that." Click here to read more.

SEATTLE, WASH - As of the latest official count, there are a grand total of 195 nations on the planet. And if you consult a history book, they’ll tell you that we’ve had 195 nations for more than a decade, ever since the sovereignty of “South Sudan” was recognized in East Africa during the Obama administration. Who could forget that moment. Ask any person off the street, and they’ll tell you, with a sparkle in their eye, exactly where they were on that momentous day when South Sudan became a country.

Unfortunately, all the rubes who buy into this narrative are being lied to. In reality, South Sudan is not the newest nation that’s been formed. That’s because, for a brief shining moment, back in the summer of 2020, a brand-new country was born, of all places, right here in the United States. The “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ, became the 196th nation, seemingly out of nowhere. The local homeless population teamed up with the Antifa and trans activists. They cordoned off a six-block radius in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, seized control of the East Precinct police station, named a warlord-slash-rapper named “Raz” as their King, and declared their independence. “You are now leaving the USA,” read a sign at the entrance to CHAZ.

LANSING, Mich - A representative of a deceased three-year-old Detroit resident, Chayce Allen, has sued the state in federal court after employees of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services failed to stop a death allegedly caused by years of abuse.

Chayce Allen, 3, was one of 9,200 children in Michigan’s foster care system.

On June 24, 2022, Chayce’s decaying corpse was found in a broken freezer in the basement of his birth mother’s home. Officials from child protective services had visited that home several times before the child’s death, according to a lawsuit filed on March 31 by Juwan Allen, who seeks a jury trial.

Over three years of life, Chayce Allen’s alleged injuries included bruised ribs, nonaccidental blunt force trauma that caused permanent blindness, black eyes, third-degree burns, and regular vomiting from blows to the chest, the lawsuit says. Click here to read more.

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis signed two bills into law designed to strengthen protections for animals, particularly dogs, by increasing penalties for aggravated cruelty and prohibiting the abandonment of restrained pets during natural disasters.

‘Trooper’s Law’ – Dog abandonment

  • What it does: SB 150, brought by Sen. Don Gaetz and Rep. Phillip Griffitts in the House, creates a new offense of animal abandonment for abandoning a restrained dog outside during a natural disaster and makes it a third degree felony. The crime is punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of not more than $10,000.

  • Why: Last October, Tampa Florida Highway Patrol troopers rescued a dog left tied to a pole on I-75 as Hurricane Milton was expected to make landfall. “Trooper” has since been adopted.

WASHINGTON D.C. - There is no evidence that former President Joe Biden knew of at least eight climate-related executive actions he supposedly signed during office, according to a pro-American energy watchdog group.

Power the Future, a nonprofit organization founded by energy expert Daniel Turner, released a report this week revealing “troubling” implications about several significant actions from the previous administration, especially given the recent reports that most of the official documents Biden signed during his time were via autopen signature.

Back in March, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project released a review of “every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency,” along with the disturbing conclusion that all of them had the same autopen signature except for the one announcing that he was ending his campaign for reelection:

“Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency,” the Oversight Project wrote in their announcement. Click here to read more.

 

President Donald Trump is often in the headlines for the millions of dollars taxpayers spend to fund his golf trips, but he’s far from the only one enjoying the expensive hobby.

The Department of Defense owns scores of golf courses all over the world and recently spent $200 million to renovate five of them, according to reporting from The Intercept. Two courses in Germany and one each in Korea, Japan, and Massachusetts will receive upgrades.

Key facts: The Intercept was able to identify 144 military-owned golf courses. Ten are owned by the Marines, 29 by the Navy, 51 by the Air Force, and 54 by the Army. At least 24 are in foreign countries, and two are in Guam.

That may be an underestimate. The golf courses have been in watchdogs’ crosshairs for decades, with Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI) calling out the Pentagon in 1975 for spending $14 million per year maintaining 300 golf courses. The number of courses has seemingly fallen since, but the Pentagon has also removed some from its lists or listed separate courses as one facility.

Maintenance costs vary. One Army golf course in Virginia costs around $1 million per year to operate and spent $406,000 replacing golf carts in 2021. MIC.com reported in 2012 that a “very conservative estimate” of annual costs for all the golf courses is $140 million. Click here to read more.

Federal Health Agency Says Puberty Blockers, Hormones Pose Risks to Children
U.S. Health Department Warns Against Gender Transition Treatments for Minors

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued a letter advising health care providers, risk managers, and state medical boards to immediately update treatment protocols for minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The agency cited findings from a comprehensive review that questioned the safety and effectiveness of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries used on children and adolescents.

The letter, signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., references the HHS’s “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices,” published May 1. According to the review, these interventions are based on “weak evidence” and carry “significant risks,” including infertility, impaired bone density, cardiovascular disease, and adverse mental health outcomes.

“Health care providers are reminded that when medical interventions pose unnecessary, disproportionate risks of harm, they should refuse to offer them, even when requested or demanded by patients,” the letter states.

Click here to read the entire report by HHS.

The review criticizes international guidelines such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care Version 8 (SOC-8), calling them ideologically driven and lacking scientific rigor. It also notes that no international body conducting systematic reviews endorsed WPATH or Endocrine Society guidelines due to their “lack [of] developmental rigour and transparency.”

HHS emphasized its legal obligation to protect children from harm and pointed to growing international concerns, including recent restrictions in the U.K., Sweden, and Finland on medicalized gender treatments for youth. The agency instead recommends prioritizing psychotherapy and other non-invasive approaches.

Additionally, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reminded providers of their duty to adhere to the highest standards of care and whistleblower protections for those reporting abuses in HHS-funded programs were reinforced earlier this year.

Kennedy urged providers to review the findings and revise their clinical practices accordingly. “Our nation’s children must be protected from harmful interventions,” he wrote.
