WASHINGTON D.C. - Mortgage rates have climbed to their highest level in months, some unwelcome news for President Joe Biden in a critical election year.

As of Thursday, the average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 7.17%, according to Freddie Mac. That is the highest mortgage rates have been since November of last year. The higher rates are crimping homebuying, a factor that has weighed on voter perceptions of the economy. Mortgage rates peaked at about 7.8% in October, although they fell steadily through early January as investors expected the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates. Since then, though, inflation reports have come in hotter than expected, and the prospect of rate cuts has been pushed back.

The housing market has taken on water because of the higher interest rates. The Fed controls short-term interest rates, which affect rates throughout the economy, including mortgages. Click here to read more.

 

SEATTLE, WASH - Educators need to start working on new curricula to teach students about the contributions, perspectives and histories of all people, including the stories of LGBTQ+ Washingtonians.

This new inclusive learning law takes effect June 6 and includes all districts, even those that have opposed it.

While Senate Bill 5462 was still in committee, several school boards, including the Lynden School District board, passed resolutions against its passage.

“It was more about how it erodes local control,” Schoolboard President Tonya Hickman told KOMO News.

That includes control of curriculum, Hickman told KOMO News that this is the school board's job.

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration is pushing back against the “lies and misinformation” regarding Florida’s Heartbeat Protection Act, which went into effect Wednesday.

“The pro-abortion left is lying for political gain,” Secretary of the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration Jason Weida said. “The attempts to demonize standard healthcare for women make a physician’s job more difficult and can put a pregnant woman’s life at risk.”

The administration shared a “myth vs fact” sheet regarding the new law. It is titled “Florida is Protecting Life. Myth vs Fact. Don’t Let the Fearmongers lie to you.” Click here to read more.

 

OKLAHOMA - The family of an Oklahoma teen found dead wearing just his shoes on the side of the road have been left with more questions than answers after his autopsy results. 

Noah Presgrove, 19, was discovered on a desolate stretch of US-81 near Terral, Oklahoma, on September 4 after he disappeared from a four-day 22nd birthday party with friends over the Labor Day weekend.

This week, an autopsy declared his cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head, while police said his death was no longer being investigated as a murder. Click here to read more.

 

DURHAM, UK - Linda Ellerton never thought she’d see her cat Whiskas again. However, the pair have been reunited in an emotional reunion, more than 10 years after the beloved feline went missing.

Whiskas, who is 16 years old, was found in Chilton Moor, near Durham in the UK, which is close to where she lived before disappearing.

A local resident found her taking residence in his shed and took her to a vet in December, where she was found to have an old RSPCA microchip.

Whiskas was adopted by Linda in 2007 after being found as a stray kitten by the RSPCA in Scotland. After living with Linda for 6 years, Whiskas disappeared, with the family moving house after giving up hope of seeing their pet again. Linda, who last saw Whiskas in 2013, was alerted after the charity put out an online appeal. 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.

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF - San Francisco offers a $5 million program for homeless alcoholics to receive free alcohol. The city says its Managed Alcohol Program is in place to help stabilize drinking patterns.

While the program has supporters who say it works, it has received criticism from local leaders. The San Francisco Department of Public Health described MAP as “interventions that aim to reduce the harms of severe alcohol use, poverty and homelessness.” 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.
