LANSING, Mich - A Michigan state agency is seeking to spend $200,000 on a consulting contract to help it develop a program with the stated intention of reducing emissions in the maritime sector.

The program will “advance greening, electrification, decarbonization, equity and environmental justice, infrastructure, and the sustainability of Michigan’s maritime sector while ensuring the efficient movement of goods,” according to an announcement from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

The notice for the taxpayer-funded project includes creating an “engagement and dissemination strategy” to engage maritime stakeholders. The program aims to tug Michigan toward its MI Healthy Climate Plan to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Click here to read more.

 

FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA - During his tenure in office he refused to face the American flag during the pledge and at one point took a knee, emulating disgraced NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Holden said the pledge did not represent the district’s commitment to “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

“Given that the word ‘God’ in the text of the Pledge of Allegiance is capitalized… the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian God, and therefore, it does not include any other faiths such as Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,” Holden said in 2022, adding that this made the pledge of allegiance a “non-inclusionary act.” Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - Michigan House Democrats on Thursday approved legislation to strip away verification and validity measures specifically enacted to prevent election fraud.

Senate bills 603 and 604 eliminate the current ability of county canvassers to investigate fraud during recounts, limiting the basis for requesting a recount to errors that could sway the outcome.

Proponents contend fraud investigations should be handled by law enforcement.

The legislation also increases fees for recounts based on the margin of victory.

“This fee structure includes per-precinct fees which charge less for precincts where the results are closer and more for precincts where the margin is so large that it is unlikely a recount could change the outcome,” Rep. Penelope Tsernoglou, D-East Lansing, told Michigan Public Radio.

Other changes included in the bills deal with precincts where ballot counts are out of balance, making all ballots in those precincts ineligible to be recounted, according to the news site. Click here to read more.

 

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Indiana Republican Party is moving forward with plans to appoint a new GOP candidate after the primary race for a U.S. congressional seat was won by a woman who passed away months before the election.

Jennifer Pace won a GOP primary for Indiana’s 7th Congressional District on May 7 with 31.2% of the vote, according to the Associated Press. The 59-year-old had been deceased since March 6 after suffering a heart attack. Pace’s name appeared on the ballot anyway, and the news of her death did not appear to be widely reported at the time of the election. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - Since 2023, Michigan has authorized $4.4 billion of select corporate business subsidies.

Assuming that money is fungible, what could it have bought Michiganders?

The average price of a ticket to a Taylor Swift concert in 2023 was $1,088, as calculated by CNBC. At that rate, Michigan could have bought Taylor Swift tickets for 40% of the state population.

Or, Michigan taxpayers could have bought 33 million days — 90,000 years and then some — at Disney World via $130-day passes.

The money could have funded child care and living expenses for the roughly 10,000 Michigan kids in foster care. It could have lowered Michigan’s personal income tax rate to 2.85%, down from 4.25%. Click here to read more.

Taylor, Michigan School Superintendent Bans Political Displays in Classrooms follow pushback from parents. Decision follows national debates ove

TAYLOR, Mich. - Taylor School District’s superintendent Mike Wegher announced a ban on classroom displays considered politically controversial after a photo surfaced of a local classroom decorated with a Black Lives Matter flag, a “Science is Real” banner, and a Taylor Swift poster.

The image sparked backlash in the community, with some parents arguing the displays promoted political messages. Superintendent Mark Maloney said the new policy will prohibit all political symbols, including Black Lives Matter, “Blue Lives Matter,” and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags.

“This policy applies across the board,” Maloney said. “Whether it’s BLM, Blue Lives Matter, or Don’t Tread on Me, we’re not allowing any of it. Our classrooms should remain focused on education, not political debate.” He noted that items tied directly to classroom material would still be permitted but acknowledged it could take time for staff to adjust.

The move places Taylor among a growing number of ...

Idaho High School Cheer Coach Fired for Posting Video Celebrating Charlie Kirk Assassination

Annika Rutz, an assistant cheer coach at Meridian High School in Meridian, Idaho, has been fired for posting a video celebrating the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Rutz was fired from the West Ada School District after declaring in a Snapchat video, “You fucking got what you fucking deserve. I just saw the fucking video, it looks like you got shot in the neck or chest,” in reference to Kirk, according to a report by KIVI.

In the video, Rutz went on to rant, “I’m not saying I wish death upon someone, but that’s what I’m fucking saying for this motherfucker, piece of fucking shit, I hope he’s dead.”

“Is that going to get me arrested?” Rutz adds, appearing to second-guess her remarks, before blatantly sarcastically adding, “I hope he’s not dead, ohh ohh, pray for Charlie Kirk, ohh ohh.”

“And he’s a huge advocate for gun rights, if that isn’t irony, I don’t know what is,” Rutz continues, before concluding her video by exclaiming, “Today’s a good day! Today’s a good day!”

In what appears to be follow-up post to Snapchat, the now-former Idaho high school employee shared a photo of her face with her hand over her mouth, writing, “Confirmed: he’s dead.” Click here to read more.

 

Do the Feds Really Need to Own One-Third of All Land in America?

The federal government owns about one-third of America.

Since we’re on a path to bankruptcy, it would be smart to sell some unused property.

President Donald Trump’s interior secretary says it may be worth as much as $200 trillion. Selling just a fraction of it would reduce our enormous debt.

Not just that: Since government doesn’t manage things well, selling or leasing some would leave it in better condition.

Federal bureaucrats have been slow to do controlled burns and remove deadwood that becomes fuel for wildfires.

“Fires on federal lands accounted for more than half of the acres burned,” says the Congressional Budget Office.

But whenever a politician suggests selling any land, environmental activists freak out. Click here to read more.

 

Liberal Foundations Spent Millions To Shape the 'Soft-on-Crime' Policies Now Blamed for Freeing Career Criminal Who Brutally Murdered Ukrainian Refugee

Two left-wing foundations, the MacArthur Foundation and Arnold Ventures, spent millions pushing criminal justice reform policies in Charlotte, North Carolina, that are now being blamed for career criminal Decarlos Brown walking the streets in Charlotte, where he brutally murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the city's transit system.

Brown, who fatally stabbed Zarutska on Aug. 22, had 14 prior arrests including an armed robbery that landed him five years in prison, and was released without bond or monitoring in a criminal case earlier this year. Lawmakers, the Trump administration, and even Brown's relatives have blamed the soft-on-crime policies embraced by Mecklenburg County court system, which oversees Charlotte.

Trump demands COVID vaccine data, calls for transparency from Pfizer

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is demanding that drug companies, including Pfizer, publicly release data to justify the success of their COVID-19 vaccines.

In a Truth Social post, Trump demanded transparency from companies, including Pfizer, regarding their work during “Operation Warp Speed,” the government initiative launched to accelerate the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

“I have been shown information from Pfizer, and others, that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show those results to the public,” Trump wrote. “Why not???”

The president pointed to how Pfizer and other drug companies “go off to the next ‘hunt’ and let everyone rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC, trying to figure out the success or failure of the Drug Companies Covid work.” Click here to read more.

 

Lansing spends $1.4 million on tiny homes for homeless — that aren’t approved for winter use!

The city of Lansing is spending $640,000 on micro-housing units for homeless residents who won’t be able to use them when they need them most.

In August, city officials agreed to purchase 50 ModPods modular housing units for $640,000 from a nonprofit in Kalamazoo. The nonprofit had shelved plans to use them in that community after struggling to find a location, Bridge Michigan reports.

The pods, initially purchased for $1 million, are expected to cost another $750,000 a year to maintain, bringing the total cost for the first year to about $1.4 million, or $28,000 per 8-by-8-foot unit.

However, city officials told the media that the pods are not authorized for winter use and will likely not be available until June 2026.

“I think there’s utility in it.… It really depends on what the goal of the system is,” Nick Cook, director of public policy for the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness, told Bridge. “In and of itself, it’s just another tool in the tool bag for communities to deal with the homeless and unhoused populations.” Click here to read more.

Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect Lived With Transgender Partner Who Is Cooperating With FBI
Investigators say Tyler Robinson’s partner is providing evidence as authorities probe bullet casings engraved with political messages.

OREM, Utah - The man accused of killing conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had been living with a transgender partner who is now cooperating with federal investigators, according to law enforcement sources as first reported by FOX News.

Tyler Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder in the shooting that claimed Kirk’s life during a speaking event this week at Utah Valley University. Authorities say Robinson’s partner, who was transitioning from male to female, has provided communications and other information to the FBI that shed light on Robinson’s actions and state of mind.

Investigators also revealed that bullet casings recovered at the scene bore inscriptions. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said one was marked with the words “Hey fascist! Catch!” Others carried references to internet meme culture, including the phrase “notices, bulges, OwO, what’s this?” as well as lyrics from the anti-fascist song Bella Ciao.

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck while responding to a question about transgender mass shooters during his “American Comeback” tour. He was rushed into surgery but died hours later.

Robinson, a Utah resident who once attended Utah State University before dropping out, had been working as an electrical apprentice. Family members told reporters he had become increasingly political in recent months and had openly expressed hatred of Kirk before the shooting.

Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative student organization that grew into a powerful force on college campuses and in Republican politics. He was a frequent media commentator and a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump.

The killing has sparked widespread outrage and renewed concern about political violence. Prosecutors and the FBI continue to build their case as new details about Robinson’s personal life and motivations emerge.

What is Discord? The Platform at the Center of the Charlie Kirk Shooter’s Online Activity
The chat app, once designed for gamers, has grown into a massive online community where conversations range from harmless hobbies to political extremism.

In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting, investigators revealed that the gunman was active on Discord, a platform that may be unfamiliar to many Americans but is widely used among younger generations.

Discord is a free communication app that combines elements of group chats, social media, and online forums. Launched in 2015, it was originally built for gamers who wanted a place to talk while playing online. Over time, it has grown far beyond gaming, with more than 150 million active users worldwide using it for everything from politics and hobbies to education and business.

If you are not yet a paid subscriber, consider becoming one for less than $1 per week. I rely on paid subscribers to keep my independent journalism going.

 

The platform is organized into "servers," which are essentially online communities. Each server can host multiple text channels for conversations, voice channels for live discussions, and even video hangouts. Some servers are public and open to anyone, while others are private and require invitations.

Part of what makes Discord appealing is also what makes it concerning for law enforcement: its mix of anonymity and community. Users can sign up with little more than a screen name and an email address. Conversations often happen in private servers, making it harder to monitor. While Discord has worked to crack down on illegal content and extremist groups, critics argue it remains a breeding ground for harmful speech, conspiracy theories, and in some cases, coordination of violence..

 

For most users, Discord is harmless—a place to connect with friends, talk about music, play games, or share interests. But as investigators are finding in the Kirk case, it can also be a space where anger festers unchecked and dangerous plans are quietly discussed.

As this investigation continues, the role of Discord will likely face new scrutiny, raising fresh questions about the balance between online free speech, privacy, and public safety.
