LANSING, Mich - A sweeping plan to reform Michigan's election recount process passed the state’s Democratic-led Senate on Tuesday amid partisan tensions as lawmakers debated the role of bipartisan canvassers. 

The proposal would solve a long-standing issue in Michigan elections by allowing county officials to recount precincts that are “out of balance” because the number of physical ballots does not exactly match the local clerks’ count of voters. 

But the legislation has proven controversial because it would also make clear that county canvassers – two Republicans and two Democrats each – should focus on remedying potential “errors” in a recount but not investigate “fraudulent or illegal voting,” which Democrats say should be left to law enforcement. 

Republicans uniformly voted against the bills, with some alleging the changes would weaken the state’s protections against election fraud. But supporters contend the plan would drive home the distinction between recounts and proper criminal investigations. Click here to read more.

WAUCHULA, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation on Wednesday banning the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat in Florida.

SB 1084 prohibits and creates penalties for the manufacturing, sale or distribution of cultivated meat in the state.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — 7News On Your Side has obtained an email revealing Prince William County Public Schools removed a speech-language pathologist from their list of evaluators because he "sides with the parents."

The email is dated July 14, 2023, and appears to be sent from one of the school district's executive administrative assistants to the Director for the Special Education Department to other school district staff members, informing them Dr. Jay Lucker was no longer on the list of speech-language pathologists.

"[We] removed Dr. Jay Lucker from our speech provider list," the email said. "Dr. Lucker does not give good evaluations and typically sides with the parents. We took him off the list, but did not send him a formal letter to state that we are removing him from our provider list. I don't think we are required to do that." Click here to read more.

Federal Agencies Mobilizing Voters: Inside Biden's Controversial Executive Order 14019
How some say this could impact the 2024 election

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Oversight Project has acquired copies of various federal agencies' previously hidden plans for executing President Joe Biden's Executive Order 14019, which mandates federal agencies to mobilize historically Democratic groups to vote. This discovery, concluded the Heritage Foundation's government watchdog Oversight Project, signifies potential "election interference" that could have significant implications for the upcoming elections.

"The last election was decided by less than 40,000 votes in the determinative swings," said Mike Howell, executive director of the Oversight Project, to Blaze News.

I walked away from the mainstream media because I wanted to fight their narratives and bias. Help me to keep my journalism independent.

Howell pointed out that Demos, a left-leaning think tank whose 2020 recommendations appear to have inspired EO 14019, boasts that the plan could generate 3 million new voter registrations annually, although Howell suspects the actual number could be much higher.

People need to see this. Share now so everyone can see what is happening

The Oversight Project has done more than just identify the problem. They have exposed various agencies' strategic plans and identified three significant steps states can take to counter or "frustrate" these efforts.

Months after taking office, Biden issued EO 14019, asserting that minorities, particularly Black Americans, face "significant obstacles" to voting. According to the preamble, they are "disproportionately burdened by voter identification laws and limited opportunities to vote by mail." Greater turnout from this group would likely benefit Biden, given that 83% of Black voters currently support or lean towards the Democratic Party, according to the Pew Research Center.

The executive order directs federal agencies to "consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process." This directive includes federal agencies using their resources to facilitate registrations and mass mail-in ballot applications, and providing space on agency premises for approved NGOs and state officials to achieve these goals.

The Oversight Project summarized the situation: "On March 7, 2021, Biden signed Executive Order (E.O.) 14019 directing every federal agency to get out the vote for his reelection campaign. This whole-of-government approach is partnering with exclusively left-wing dark money groups."

Concerns have been raised about the lawfulness and neutrality of these efforts, particularly whether voters in traditionally right-leaning areas will be targeted with the same enthusiasm as those in Democratic strongholds. The administrative state has shown a left-leaning bias, with 95% of campaign donations from 14 government agencies going to Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 election, and the majority of federal employees donating to the Democratic candidate in 2020.

The Oversight Project also pointed out issues with the approval process for NGOs and state officials involved in implementing the order, noting a lack of transparency and evidence of a partisan approach.

For instance, a July 12, 2021, "Listening Session" on the order's implementation involved the Biden DOJ, various federal agencies, and liberal groups like the ACLU, the Anti-Defamation League, Black Votes Matter, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Open Society Policy Center, and the NAACP. No identifiable Republican, independent, or politically conservative individuals were present.

Furthermore, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced an agreement with the Michigan Department of State to execute Biden's order in Michigan, where initiatives in 2020 boosted Biden. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat criticized for altering absentee voting rules in 2020, will play a significant role.

Despite requests for greater transparency, the Biden Administration and Congressional Democrats have resisted efforts to provide detailed information about EO 14019. The Oversight Project has filed around 1,600 FOIA requests related to the order and recently sued the Small Business Administration.

The newly released documents reveal the lengths federal agencies are going to mobilize voter turnout, including guaranteeing federal employees four hours of paid administrative leave per election to vote or participate as poll watchers.

One significant proposal involves automatic voter registration through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), potentially affecting 20 million Americans.

The Oversight Project will continue to reveal more documents related to "Biden Bucks" as they become available.

When asked if Congress could take action, Howell stated, "Congress missed their shot. Ship sailed. They funded this." However, states could still intervene by challenging the order's application to presidential elections, raising complaints about partisan activities, and scrutinizing designations of federal agencies as voter registration entities.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have expressed similar concerns, noting that the authority to engage in such efforts is delegated to states and Congress by the Constitution. The committee highlighted the challenges EO 14019 poses to the checks and balances system designed to prevent executive overreach.

The Oversight Project's efforts to uncover and challenge the implementation of EO 14019 continue as they seek to uphold election integrity.

DETROIT, Mich - When it comes to illegal immigration, most eyes have been on the U.S. Southern border.

However, the U.S. border with Canada is also experiencing an increased influx of illegal immigrants.

As reported by The Center Square, the border between Canada and New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire is reporting record numbers of illegal crossings. The Swanton Sector U.S. Border Patrol in Vermont reported a record 1,109 illegal immigrant apprehensions in March, according to The Center Square. In March 2021, only 37 immigrant apprehensions were reported.

Last month also broke previous records, as April 28 to May 4 saw agents apprehend 492 illegal border crossers. Quoting Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia, the article notes that the number exceeds the 365 total arrests for the entirety of 2021. Click here to read more.

NEWARK, NJ - A black man from New Jersey was charged in federal court with threats after allegedly planning a mass murder of white people, who he said were privileged.

In December 2022, federal prosecutors say Joshua Cobb wrote online that he wanted “to cause mayhem on the white community,” according to court records filed late last week.

“The reason i specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles,” Cobb wrote, according to the prosecutors. “Same way I will never understand their struggles, but I don’t care to. I want to erase them. All of them really, but in this case as many as I possibly can.” Cobb added that he had “officially began planning my attack” to occur in New Jersey during “an important holiday to their race,” and that he had “already acquired 2 of the 4 firearms I plan to use for my attack.” Click here to read more.

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The United States Drug Enforcement Agency issued a report of its 2024 National Threat Assessment, which highlights the growing epidemic of fentanyl and methamphetamine in the United States.

“The shift from plant-based drugs, like heroin and cocaine, to synthetic, chemical-based drugs, like fentanyl and methamphetamine, has resulted in the most dangerous and deadly drug crisis the United States has ever faced,” DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said. “At the heart of the synthetic drug crisis are the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels and their associates, who DEA is tracking world-wide.”

“The suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and money launderers all play a role in the web of deliberate and calculated treachery orchestrated by these cartels. DEA will continue to use all available resources to target these networks and save American lives,” Milgram continued. Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - Fay Beydoun sparked a Venti-sized scandal when she used a state grant to buy a $4,500 coffeemaker. Beydoun, an Oakland County businesswoman, secured $20 million from the state for her nonprofit Global Link International, then used the money for several eyebrow-raising purchases. Lawmakers are calling for new oversight of state incentive programs.

People are understandably upset. This scandal should also give pause to lawmakers who are considering new subsidies for the film industry and other select businesses. Click link to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Biden administration appears to be repurposing a federal program aimed at helping kids in the foster care system transition to adulthood, instead using the taxpayer dollars to fund efforts by children to transition into the opposite sex.

Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says federal taxpayer dollars can be spent towards buying “personal items” that support “a youth’s expression of their gender identity,” which typically refer to accessories such as chest binders and so-called packers, which are prosthetic penises used by girls who want it to appear like they have male genitals.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) premier automaker, BYD, is selling a $12,000 Electric Vehicle (EV) that “could be a nightmare” for the United States auto industry without an all-out ban or steeper tariffs on such cars made by Chinese companies.

A report from the Detroit News, which interviewed several industry insiders, details the impact that BYD’s all-electric Seagull — which sells for just $12,000 in China and about $21,000 in Latin America — may have on American auto workers without fierce trade protections. Currently, former President Donald Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on China-made cars are the only reason BYD and other Chinese automakers have not flooded the U.S. market with cheap EVs to sell to American consumers.

DEWITT, Mich. — DeWitt Public Schools Board of Education met amid interruptions and applauds for the first time since a controversial lesson on pronouns was canceled in an elementary school. 

More than a dozen parents and community members spoke their concerns and praise for the lesson plan to board members in the DeWitt Middle School auditorium.

In April, parents were notified of an optional lesson expected to be taught to one first-grade class at Schavey Road Elementary School. The lesson would have included a reading of the children’s book “They, She, He, Me: Free to Be”, practicing using they/them pronouns and learning that it’s “not ok” to change someone’s pronouns on purpose.
