LANSING, Mich - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer touted “announced” auto jobs instead of actual jobs created in a press release supporting a new legislative package for more taxpayer-funded corporate handouts.

“Since I took office, we have announced 38,000 new auto jobs and driven unemployment to historic lows,” Whitmer said.

Whitmer has previously announced that auto jobs were being “created” but was accused of misleading the public because announced jobs don’t equate to jobs created. In a 2023 news release, the governor claimed to have “secured” 35,000 auto jobs.

Jobs data show more losses than gains in the auto sector since Whitmer took office. Michigan leaders are often quick to issue press releases about taxpayer-funded jobs that will be coming to Michigan. These jobs usually do not come to fruition. Click here to read more.

 

KANSAS CITY, KS, Kansas on Monday sued Pfizer, accusing the company of misleading the public about its COVID-19 vaccine by hiding risks while making false claims about its effectiveness.

In a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Thomas County, the state said the New York-based drugmaker’s alleged false statements violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. It is seeking unspecified money damages.

“Pfizer made multiple misleading statements to deceive the public about its vaccine at a time when Americans needed the truth,” Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, a Republican, said in a statement. Click here to read more.

 

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rico’s elections commission said Tuesday that it’s reviewing its contract with a U.S. electronic voting company after hundreds of discrepancies were discovered following the island’s heated primaries.

The problem stemmed from a software issue that caused machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems to incorrectly calculate vote totals, said Jessika Padilla Rivera, the commission’s interim president.

While no one is contesting the results from the June 2 primary that correctly identify the winners, machine-reported vote counts were lower than the paper ones in some cases, and some machines reversed certain totals or reported zero votes for some candidates.

“The concern is that we obviously have elections in November, and we must provide the (island) not only with the assurance that the machine produces a correct result, but also that the result it produces is the same one that is reported,” Padilla said. Click here to read more.

WASHINGTON D.C. - Erin Fox has tracked drug shortages for more than 20 years, and she sees no easy solutions for what has become a record run

Drug shortages keep on growing. Older, injectable medicines are among the most vulnerable. Total active shortages hit an all-time high of 323 in this year’s first quarter, according to the University of Utah Drug Information Service. That’s up about 86% from a 10-year low of 174 last reached in 2017.

There were 48 new shortages recorded this year through March, according to the data, published by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK, NY - Good Samaritans were seen on video leaping into action to save a man who collapsed onto subway tracks in Brooklyn, as a tourist put himself in harm's way in an act of bravery rescuing a complete stranger.

The scary incident occurred Wednesday morning, as Jordan Cannon was at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station. The 30-year-old professional rock climber from Las Vegas was visiting New York City to celebrate his birthday when he saw a man collapse on the opposite platform and fall onto the tracks.

"Too much time was going by, we don’t want to see somebody die on the subway in front of all this people," Cannon told NBC New York in an exclusive interview. "You don’t know how much time you have before a train comes."

Cannon said he didn't hear any trains coming and felt he had to do something, then a friend started to record the underground action. That cellphone video shows the moment when Cannon and two others hoisted the man up onto the platform. Click here to read more.

BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

School board bans clapping....seriously

ALPENA, Mich. — A new rule banning applause and other displays of emotion at Alpena Public Schools board meetings has sparked pushback from community members who say the policy infringes on their free speech rights.

The board recently adopted a policy prohibiting clapping, cheering, booing, or any demonstrations from audience members during meetings. Board President Eric Lawson said the restriction is meant to prevent disruptions and maintain order.

“We’re doing our best to show respect to you all and make sure you have adequate time for your comments,” Lawson said during a recent meeting. “Please show the board a little respect as well.”

Not everyone in attendance agreed. Several residents voiced frustration, including one woman who argued that clapping constitutes symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

“Clapping is a universal symbolic action that typically expresses approval,” she said. “Up until one week ago, clapping was a regular occurrence at these ...

Five years ago

🚨Five years ago, this happened in Michigan.🚨
Duane and Margaret Bishop were in a Saginaw hospital fighting COVID. No family was allowed at their bedside. Margaret died first. Duane passed shortly after. They died alone because of government-imposed restrictions. COVID was real, but so were the consequences of those policies. We can never forget what was done to people like the Bishops — and we should never allow it to happen again.

Fiancé of Missing Pregnant Wexford County Woman In Custody After Body Found in Manistee National Forest
Body discovered in the Manistee National Forest as detectives continue questioning the missing woman’s fiancé.

WEXFORD COUNTY Mich. Authorities say the fiancé of a pregnant woman who vanished more than three weeks ago has been taken into custody after searchers discovered a body in the Manistee National Forest.

Investigators confirmed Tuesday that a body was located in a remote part of the forest in Boon during an ongoing search for 32 year old Rebecca Park. Park was last seen on November 4 and her disappearance prompted extensive searches across northern Michigan.

The Wexford County Sheriff’s Office said Park’s fiancé, 35 year old Christopher Huspen, was arrested earlier in the day on unrelated warrants. Detectives say he remains a person of interest as they continue processing evidence connected to the case.

Authorities said formal identification of the body is still underway and have not released a cause of death. The Michigan State Police Crime Lab is assisting with the investigation.

Search teams including volunteers had spent weeks combing through rural areas after friends and family reported that Park’s sudden disappearance was out of character. Her vehicle was later located in a wooded area near Boon which intensified the search effort.

Officials say more information will be released once the medical examiner completes the autopsy. The investigation is ongoing.

Largest battery storage facility in Great Lakes region could be forced on Ludington area thanks to ‘clean energy’ mandate

Plans are in the works for a massive 500-megawatt energy storage facility near Ludington that’s expected to dwarf the largest similar facility in the Great Lakes region by nearly double.

Amber Township Supervisor Tom Alway told Crain’s Grand Rapids Business officials are “doing our due diligence to learn more about” the proposal from NextEra Energy, the same company that owns Florida Power & Light, the largest electric utility in the country.

“We’re still trying to learn more,” Alway said. “What is the overall impact to the township and county, and just trying to understand the whole magnitude of this project.”

Zoning for the project is overseen by Mason County, though legislation approved by a Democratic government trifecta in 2023 allows the developer to circumvent local approval to apply directly to the Michigan Public Service Commission, comprised of three bureaucrats appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Click here to read more.

 

Trump Should Troll the COP30 UN Climate Conference

As we all know, the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) has been running in Brazil. Conservative energy and environmental groups are urging the Trump Administration to stage a boycott, labelling these meetings as a waste of taxpayer money that fail to improve the environment while enriching China.

These groups are right–and that’s exactly why President Donald Trump should attend. Instead of letting the jet-setting climate class hobnob in peace, the president should use their own global stage to troll them for their hypocrisy while boldly promoting his much better record on the environment.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A circuit court judge has denied a request to halt Florida’s first black bear hunt in a decade, clearing the way for the controversial season to begin on Dec. 6 and run through Dec. 28.

The ruling, issued Monday by Leon County Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey, rejected a request for a temporary injunction filed by the conservation group Bear Warriors United, according to FOX13 reported. The group had sued the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, arguing that the agency’s decision to approve the hunt in August was not based on sound science. Click here to read more.

Biden Admin Pressured U.S. Airports To House Illegal Immigrants, Bombshell Senate Report Reveals

The Biden administration pressured at least 11 American airports to house illegal immigrants despite security warnings, a shocking new Senate report revealed Tuesday.

The Biden White House directed the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to identify airports where illegal migrants could be held and processed, according to Fox News, citing the 47-page report, entitled “Flight Risk.” In some instances, the Biden administration asked federal agencies to “divert … resources” to support the illegal migrants.

“The Biden-Harris administration made airports and aviation less secure,” the report states, “by allowing and encouraging aliens to shelter at U.S. airports, by allowing improperly vetted aliens to fly into and throughout the United States, and by diverting needed federal air marshals to the border.” Click here to read more.

There is no confirmed information about the status of her baby.

Up North Live reports, Her cellphone was later found abandoned along a nearby two-track road, raising concerns about her safety early in the investigation.

Search efforts intensified over the past several weeks as friends, family, volunteers, and community members scoured the region. Park, who was 39 weeks pregnant, had not contacted loved ones since the day she went missing.

 

On Monday, a searcher confirmed that Park’s body was located after 21 days missing, though officials have not released a cause of death. The Wexford County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

Park’s fiancé, Richard Falor, previously told reporters the disappearance was completely out of character, saying the two were always in communication. Friends also noted that Park never went anywhere alone.

Anyone with information about Park’s movements on Nov. 3 or the dark-colored vehicle she entered is asked to contact the Wexford County Sheriff’s Office.
