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.

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.

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 ...

Despite age of consent being 16, Michigan Board of Education wants to teach ‘safe and healthy’ sex to 8-year-olds

Michigan’s Department of Education has proposed major updates to the state’s health education standards, reshaping how schools teach about sex, relationships, and identity. The draft guidelines, still under review, emphasize inclusivity, consent, and respect, and have sparked debate among educators, parents, and lawmakers across the state.

The proposal moves away from the state’s longstanding abstinence-focused framework toward a more comprehensive model. It calls for lessons that explicitly address sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, encouraging respect for all individuals regardless of their background.

Students in middle and high school would learn to define and distinguish between biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, treating each as a distinct part of personal identity. The framework also asks students to practice empathy and show courtesy toward those whose sexuality or gender differs from their own. Click here to read more.

 

Foreign Journalists Asked Kamala the Questions Americans Wouldn’t

Last month, former Vice President Kamala Harris made the rounds of supportive liberal networks to promote her campaign book “107 Days.” The title implied it was impossible for her to beat that allegedly despised dictator Donald Trump with so little time.

No one expected much of the interviewers, starting with ABC’s “The View",” which could have titled the interview “You Had Me at Hello.” They put a six-pack of suck-ups on the set. The “conservative” Alyssa Farah Griffin could only ask if Harris missed any warning signs.

The biggest event in that interview was co-host Sunny Hostin confessing to the Mom-ala that she felt she’d hurt her chances by asking an obvious question: Where do you differ from Joe Biden? Harris said she couldn’t think of anything. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

Movement Barrels Forward To Euthanize 12 Year Old Children In Canada

Advocates for assisted suicide in Canada, where it’s been legal for just under a decade, are pushing to expand the practice to children.

Canada’s euthanasia program, known as MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying), started back in 2016 for people whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” and wanted to end their lives. It’s already been expanded — both expanding the pool of adults who are eligible and how it can be administered, leading to an explosion of suicides in recent years.

Now, groups are calling for minors as young as 12 years old to be included in the government-funded suicide program. One advocacy group, called “Dying With Dignity Canada,” recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.

The group calls for assessing age eligibility based on “maturity” rather than “chronological age.” Click here to read more.

 

Ranchers decry beef imports from Argentina, expert says good start

Consumers feeling the pang of high beef prices at the grocery store may see some relief from a plan to import beef from Argentina but it’s not likely to be much, according to an expert.

Marc Busch is an expert on international trade policy and law. He’s also the Karl F. Landegger Professor of International Business Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

Busch said the increase in beef prices is the result of a combination of factors, including the lowest U.S. beef cattle headcount since 1951.

“We have a shortage of domestic beef. We have higher input prices, not least because of the tariffs, on what it takes to grow a herd, and we have a Byzantine system of import quotas that don’t make a lot of sense and that keep trade from filling in where domestic production falls short,” he told The Center Square.

Clerk’s mistake leads woman to $500K win, lottery says

COLUMBIA, S.C. - A woman in South Carolina won $500,000 off a scratch-off ticket because of a clerk’s mistake.

The South Carolina Education Lottery said the woman had bought a $10 scratch-off ticket at a Piggly Wiggly in Columbia.

She told officials she had pointed to a different one than the “Feeling Lucky?” game ticket the clerk accidentally handed her.

“I just kept it,” the woman, whose name was not released, said in a statement.
Thanks to the mistake, she won a $500,000 prize.

“It was a blessing that changed my life,” she said.

The lottery said the odds of winning $500,000 in the “Feeling Lucky?” game are 1 in 1.5 million. Two top prizes still remain for the game.
