Initial Press Release - July 20, 2024

On Sunday, July 21, 2024, the Hancock Police Department responded to three incidents that appeared politically motivated. Two of these incidents involved vandalized vehicles. At approximately 5:45 PM on Anthony Street, the same suspect drove an ATV with the alleged intention to harm, running over an 80-year-old male who was posting a political sign in his yard.

The victim was transported to the hospital with serious injuries and remained in critical condition for several days. The police believed the ATV driver was involved in all three incidents, targeting Trump and Law Enforcement supporters.

The Hancock Police Department had been seeking community assistance in identifying the suspect before his identification and subsequent death.

This tragic series of events has left the community of Hancock and the surrounding areas in shock. The police department extends its gratitude to all who assisted in the investigation and continues to support the victim in his recovery.

LANSING, MICH - Recent reports show 437 children were harmed in the care of the Michigan’s Department of Health and Human Services in 2023, as the department faltered on abuse complaints and background checks.

Two recent reports – one produced by a court appointed third party, and another from the Michigan Office of the Auditor General – paint a concerning picture of how Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration manages the children in its care, and how those who lead DHHS respond to the criticism.

A monitoring report for Dwayne B. v. Whitmer, a case that spawned a 2019 plan to improve DHHS, found the state failed to meet required performance standards in 22 of 28 areas monitored for compliance with the agreement. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - If there’s one indisputable strategic advantage that Democrats possess, it’s that they don’t really have a political party in the traditional sense. They have a cult.

The slogans come down from on high, and overnight, the yard signs go up: “No human is illegal, Black Lives Matter, defund the police,” and so on. They’ll invent quasi-religious explanations for events they don’t understand or don’t want to understand, and then they’ll use the entirety of corporate media and academia to present those explanations as fact. Hurricanes are caused by man-made climate change; therefore we need “environmental justice.” Black people go to prison because of “systemic racism”; therefore we need DEI, and so on. Anyone who dissents is immediately cast out of the collective.

If you want to create a stable, functioning country, this kind of mindless collectivism is obviously counterproductive. But Democrats’ goal isn’t to create a stable or functioning country. Their goal is to mobilize and to win. Click here to read more.

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A Tennessee congressman has introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden’s move to end his presidential campaign and endorse Harris to take over on Sunday.

Congressman Andy Ogles introduced the impeachment articles for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The two articles were introduced on Tuesday for what he says is Harris’ refusal to uphold immigration laws and a breach of public trust.

“The articles cite her gross incompetence in dealing with the crisis at the southern border and her betrayal of the American people,” Ogles office said. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The man who told authorities that he traveled from California to Maryland with the intent to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will be heading to trial, court documents show.

Nicholas John Roske, then 26, traveled to the Kavanaugh home in Maryland in June 2022 with the express intent of killing Kavanaugh and two other justices after he saw their addresses posted online, according to a U.S. Department of Justice affidavit. Authorities found him carrying soft-soled boots, a Glock pistol, a tactical knife, two pistol magazines, pepper spray, a crow bar, a screwdriver, and a hammer.

“I’m gonna stop Roe v. Wade from being overturned,” Roske told a friend in an online conversation, according to an FBI search warrant obtained by Fox News, saying he would “remove some people from the Supreme Court.” Click here to read more.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senior U.S. Army officials said Thursday that training materials labeling prominent anti-abortion organizations as “terrorist groups” have been used for at least seven years.

The admission comes after a House and Senate inquiry into training materials leaked from a training seminar at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, in North Carolina.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Senior U.S. Army officials said Thursday that training materials labeling prominent anti-abortion organizations as “terrorist groups” have been used for at least seven years.

The admission comes after a House and Senate inquiry into training materials leaked from a training seminar at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, in North Carolina.

“The information that I have at this time indicates that this set of slides has been used for at least the last seven years by the Directorate of Emergency Services at Fort Liberty to train soldiers as they prepare to take on instillation access duties,” wrote Army Secretary Christine Wormuth to Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC). Click here to read more.
