WASHINGTON D.C. - The person who’s doing the most damage to Kamala Harris’ campaign right now is: Kamala Harris. That is because she is just an empty suit.

She’s a total empty suit on every front, and the most obvious front is the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which ripped through parts of the panhandle of Florida, tore through parts of Georgia, and slammed hard against North Carolina. There are hundreds of people who are missing in North Carolina right now; parts of the state are underwater, and incredibly serious damage has resulted from the hurricane.

GOP governors have been terrific during this time. The response from Ron DeSantis in Florida has been excellent. He had the electricity back on right away. The underrated part of DeSantis’ appeal when he ran for president is that he’s a terrific governor. He really cleans up the state when something bad happens. He makes sure matters are taken care of quite quickly. Click here to read more.

 

DEL RIO, TX - A new report from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, compiled by the Daily Mail, indicates that the Biden-Harris administration failed to deport 74% of criminal illegal migrants from the United States.

"Under President Joe Biden, and his hand-picked 'border czar,' Vice  President Kamala Harris, we don't just have a crisis at our borders — we  have one in the interior, as well," Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., told the Mail.

Green added that under former GOP nominee Donald Trump, border crossings were down, and immigration enforcement was up. During the Trump administration, the aggregate number of deportations at the border was 32%. Under Biden and Harris, that figure is 3.5%. Click here to read more.

 

DETROIT, Mich - As sales of its electric vehicles (EVs) continue to stall, Ford Motor Company is hoping to spark interest among consumers by offering free at-home charging stations.

“Auto shoppers say they’re more likely to buy an electric vehicle if they could fill up at home,” Ford CEO Jim Farley wrote in a post on social platform X. “So we’re going to make it easy for our customers.”

“If you buy or lease a new Ford electric vehicle, we’ll include a complimentary home charger. This is part of something we’re calling the Ford Power Promise, which is about giving our electric vehicle customers convenience, peace of mind and expert service.” Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON (TND) — During a recent campaign stop at the Southern border, Vice President Kamala Harris appealed to family members of those who were brought to the United States as young children known as DACA recipients.

“They are American in every way. But still, they do not have an earned pathway to citizenship," Harris said Friday. Donald Trump meanwhile has made his appeals to Latino voters differently.

“The Hispanic population is like a rocket ship for us but we have to protect it because the people coming through, Kamala, they're coming through the border and they're taking your jobs," Trump said at a rally Sunday.

Trump supporter and X CEO Elon Musk wrote in a post:

"Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!"

However, the trend lines, at least for Latino voters, have been moving in the other direction for years. Click here to read more.

 

CALHOUN COUNTY, Ala. - The Alabama state fire marshal closed four drug rehabilitation centers in Alabama over fire code and safety violations.

Calhoun County Sheriff Matthew Wade says investigators followed up on several complaints before the facilities were closed.

“I’m not sure that the level of actual treatment matches up with the money, what basically I attribute to human trafficking,” says Wade.

After a year of numerous complaints about certain rehab facilities in Calhoun County and the surrounding area that were housing sex offenders, Calhoun County Sheriff Matthew Wade says something had to be done.

“Anytime you put a large number of registered sex offenders together, that draws the community’s eye to it. I think everybody wants to solve the drug problem in Alabama and across our country, we want to make sure we do it in the right way,” says Wade. 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 ...

Feds Conduct Door-To-Door Checks At Suspected Minneapolis Fraud Sites

Homeland Security Investigations agents were on the ground in Minneapolis on Monday, conducting door-to-door checks at suspected fraud sites, as authorities examined the alleged involvement of Somali immigrants in a broader criminal scheme.

The Department of Homeland Security posted a video showing two agents entering a convenience store, where they ask the clerk about a suspicious business next door. Last week, independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video allegingthat numerous daycare and learning centers in the Twin Cities area had no children on-site, despite receiving millions of dollars in government funding.

“The American people deserve answers on how their taxpayer money is being used and ARRESTS when abuse is found. Under the leadership of [Secretary Kristi Noem], DHS is working to deliver results,” Homeland Security posted on social media. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Election Rocked by AI Deepfakes Targeting GOP Candidate

SAGINAW, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan’s latest political controversy isn’t about tax policy or crumbling roads – it’s about digital deception. A series of AI-generated deepfake videos recently circulated online falsely portraying a Republican candidate as gay and aligned with a transgender advocacy group, fueling voter confusion and renewed scrutiny in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence. A deepfake is AI-generated media that makes it look or sound like someone said or did something they never actually did.

A now-deleted website and Facebook page were uncovered portraying Saginaw attorney Jason Tunney, a candidate in the 35th Senate District’s February 3 special primary, as gay and backed by a transgender group calling itself “Tranneys for Tunney.” Included were videos showing Tunney kissing another man and speaking in front of pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Tunney, who is not gay, is married to a woman named Pamela and is a conservative Republican. Click here to read more.

‘Just Snapped’: Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole Jr.’s Confession Revealed in Court Docs

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Federal prosecutors told a judge that the man suspected of planting pipebombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in January 2021 confessed to the crime in an affidavit filed Sunday.

The Department of Justice announced Dec. 4 the arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on charges of transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

In the filing, prosecutors note Cole said he “just snapped” and wanted to punish both political parties, adding he was inspired by The Troubles, a roughly 30-year ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland.

“The defendant explained that after the 2020 election, ‘when it first seemed like something was wrong’ and ‘stuff started happening,’ he began following the issue closely on YouTube and Reddit and felt ‘bewildered,’” the filing said. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

The miracle cure for sickle cell is now 2 years old. Most are still waiting.

The Trump administration has a plan to provide access to new treatments for sickle cell disease, the hereditary condition that has meant a lifetime of excruciating pain and debilitating health issues for tens of thousands of mostly Black Americans.

It’s one of few initiatives on which President Donald Trump and the public health establishment are aligned. But for parents desperate for a cure for children with a disease that, besides pain, causes infections, vision problems, delayed puberty and regular visits to the hospital, it doesn’t mean they’ll get the gene therapy treatments anytime soon.

Trump administration rolls out $50 billion rural health fund

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Monday that it was launching its $50 billion initiative to help rural communities nationwide, which was created through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July.

All 50 states will receive monetary assistance that will go to rural areas starting next year, with the first wave of awards ranging from $147 million to $281 million.

The awards are expected to be used to bring more resources to Americans in rural areas, including by expanding preventive, primary, maternal, and behavioral health services; strengthen and sustain the rural clinical workforce; and modernize medical technology in rural areas.

Michigan's minimum wage is going up
What you need to know
Michigan’s minimum wage is going up on January 1, 2026, under the state’s Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act. The hourly minimum wage for most workers will increase from $12.48 to $13.73. That’s a $1.25 bump that affects tens of thousands of Michigan workers.
The increases are part of a schedule written into law that will take Michigan’s minimum wage to $15 per hour on January 1, 2027, and then tie it to inflation after that.
What Changes on January 1, 2026
  • Standard minimum wage: increases to $13.73 per hour from $12.48.
  • Tipped workers: will see the tipped minimum wage go up to $5.49 per hour (40 percent of the full minimum wage) as long as tips bring them up to at least the full rate.
  • Minors (ages 16 and 17): can be paid 85 percent of the minimum wage, rising to $11.67 per hour.
  • Training wage: for employees under age 20 in their first 90 calendar days of employment remains unchanged.
These changes come from Michigan’s labor department and the wage rules posted by the state. They reflect a planned schedule of increases that lawmakers set into motion after legal and legislative actions over the last few years.
Why It’s Happening
Under current Michigan law, set by the state legislature and state wage rules, annual increases are scheduled until the $15 minimum wage is reached in 2027. After that, annual adjustments are tied to inflation. This means the minimum wage won’t just sit still after 2027; it will move with changes in the cost of living.
For the official wage schedule and full details straight from the state, see the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s minimum wage page:
