Nigerian professor pleads guilty to stealing $1.4 million from Grand Rapids preschool nonprofit

A highly acclaimed Nigerian professor at Aquinas College is facing two decades in prison after she admitted to swindling more than $1 million from taxpayers and poor minority children in West Michigan.

Nkechy Ezeh, founder and CEO of the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative, pleaded guilty last week to wire fraud and tax evasion in a scheme that forced the nonprofit to shut down after a dozen years preparing about 8,000 preschoolers for kindergarten in Kent County, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, WOOD reports.

Ezeh worked with ELNC bookkeeper Sharon Killebrew to create nearly $500,000 in fake invoices, as well as created fake daycare businesses to siphon off hundreds of thousands of dollars more, which Ezeh used for personal travel to Hawaii, Nigeria and Liberia, according to court documents cited by the news site.

Mortgage rates dip to three-year low after Trump’s bond-buying edict

MOrtgage Rates dipped again this week, with the 30-year fixed rate averaging 6.18%, down from 6.24% last week and the lowest level since September 2022, according to Bankrate’s latest lender survey.

The national median family income for 2025 was $104,200, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the median price of an existing home sold in December 2025 was $405,400, according to the National Association of Realtors. Based on a 20% down payment and a 6.18% mortgage rate, the monthly payment of $1,982 amounts to about 23% of the typical family’s monthly income.

“With more housing inventory coming online and home prices starting to level off, this remains a promising environment for those looking to buy or refinance,” says Samir Dedhia, CEO of One Real Mortgage. Click here to read more.

 

Within Three Years, The Most Intolerant People On Earth Could Control The Internet

On March 15th, 2021, an anonymous Twitter user asked Harvard Medical professor Martin Kulldorff a question. “Do you think younger age groups and or people who have already had the virus need to be vaccinated?”

Who is Martin Kulldorff? He’s a Harvard Medical School professor for 21 years, a well-known Swedish biostatistician who developed widely used software for disease mapping, the co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration on how to deal with the COVID pandemic, and an advisor to the world’s leading health organizations.

What he said was that “Thinking that everyone must be vaccinated is as scientifically flawed as thinking that nobody should get COVID. Vaccines are important for older high-risk people and their caretakers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it, nor do children.” Click here to read more.

 

DOJ civil rights chief puts ex-CNN host Don Lemon ‘on notice’ for joining anti-ICE church invasion

Fired CNN host Don Lemon might get prosecuted by the Justice Department for joining anti Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters who stormed a Minnesota church service Sunday because the pastor is allegedly tied to ICE, Civil Rights Division Chief Harmeet Dhillon implied Sunday night.

The assistant attorney general had already confirmed her division was investigating potential violations of the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act by the church crashers, a rare but statutorily permissible use of the 1994 law. The law has overwhelmingly been used to prosecute pro life activists who sought to blockade abortion clinics, with President Trump pardoning 23 in his first week back in office.

“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest,” Dhillon wrote, sharing quotes from Todd Starnes of Don Lemon, now an independent video journalist, who explained to viewers that crashing the church was justified by “the freedom to protest” and that “protests are not comfortable.” Click here to read more.

 

Tourists gunned down at Florida rental home: ‘We lost three people’

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Three people were gunned down at a Florida rental home Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

Osceola County Sheriff Chris Blackmon said at 12:14 p.m., his deputies responded to a shots fired call at the the Indian Point subdivision near Kissimmee, Florida.

When the first deputy got to the scene, he found all three victims dead from apparent gunshot wounds in front of the home.

“We lost three people, which is sad because it’s three tourists that come here to visit our area,” Blackmon said. “It’s cold-blooded. It was premeditated. There was absolutely no issues. There was no conflict between these people. This was random, and this happened to be the person that lived next door.”

Osceola County Sheriff’s Office deputies located the suspect — Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, of Kissimmee — in a house next to the rental property and arrested him. Click here to read more.

How Illegal Immigration and Government Failure Fuel Identity Theft

More than a million Americans may unwittingly hold second jobs – because that work is being performed by an illegal alien using their stolen social security number.

News of the identity theft can come as a rude shock to citizens like the Minnesota factory worker who had crushing tax bills because of a thrice-deported illegal immigrant in Missouri who was working under his name for years. Or Iowa taxpayers who learned that the superintendent of the Des Moines school system was an illegal immigrant facing a deportation order.

More likely, they may never know that their identity was pilfered, perhaps by one of the 70 illegal workers accused last summer of stealing more than 100 identities so they could work at a Nebraska meatpacking plant, or by one of the 18 individuals charged with “aggravated identity theft, misuse of Social Security numbers, and false statements” in March.

From Viral Videos to FBI Raids: Why Dearborn Is Drawing National Attention

DEARBORN, Mich. – Before Minneapolis, YouTube reporter Nick Shirley walked through the city of Dearborn as Muslim men yelled, “Allahu Akbar.”

Shirley was in town in November, about six weeks before he would break the childcare fraud scandal in Minnesota that brought down Gov. Tim Walz.

“I have a question for you guys,” Shirley asked a group fo Arab men on the street harassing Christian marchers, one of whom had threatened to burn a Quran. “If America were to get in a war … with a country like Iraq, would you guys defend America or Iraq?”

A young Muslim man walked toward the camera and yelled, “We would defend our brothers in Iraq! That’s the only way!.” Click here to read more.

Socialists Planning to Replicate Minneapolis Chaos to Combat ICE Sweeps in New York City

New York City socialists are marshaling an army of more than 4,000 activists to form “rapid response” brigades to disrupt federal immigration enforcement in an expected crackdown on illegal aliens in America’s largest city.

According to a report Sunday in the New York Post, “Mayor Mamdani’s comrades” with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) revealed their disruptive mission against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity during a monthly meeting earlier in the week of the “Chinese Communist Party-linked” People’s Forum.

’As we’ve seen in other cities, we still do anticipate a big wave of federal immigration enforcement,’ a DSA leader who only identified herself as Marina told the crowd of more than 100 members,” according to the Post. Click here to read more.

 

MEDC, facing embezzlement scandal, refuses to name fired staff

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation is refusing to release a list of employees it has fired in the last five years.

Michigan Capitol Confidential asked 11 state agencies for records about how many people they fired since 2020. Ten agencies provided the information immediately. The one agency that did not respond — the development corporation — is embroiled in an embezzlement scandal.

Legislators are considering several bills to dismantle the agency after a reporter revealed that it gave a $20 million grant to one of its board members who then spent that money on an $11,000 plane ticket and a $4,500 coffee maker. Click here to read more.

 

Former school superintendent arrested for failure to report child abuse

GLADEWATER, Texas (KLTV) - The former superintendent for Union Grove ISD was arrested on a charge of knowingly failing to make a required child abuse report.

In July 2025, the school district accepted Kelly Moore’s resignation as superintendent, paying out the remainder of her $130,000 contract.

In the weeks prior, community members voiced concerns over an incident of alleged invasive recording inside a school bathroom between two students. One parent complained to the school board that the video circulated, and his complaint to Moore had gone unaddressed.

Through a public information request, we learned Moore sent the video to the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office on June 11. She stated to the sheriff’s office that the video had been sent to her in mid-May. Click here to read more.

Teachers union distorts record on education spending

“MEA Labor Economist Tanner Delpier tells stories with data,” begins a December article on the Michigan Education Association’s website that mixes bits of truth with widely inaccurate claims.

Gov. Rick Synder, who was in office from 2011 through 2018, “presided over a steep, years-long decline in the state education budget, which hit bottom under his leadership in 2013,” writes MEA Voice editor Brenda Ortega.

Snyder’s first budget (the 2011-12 fiscal year) spent $11.09 billion of state revenues on schools, which was up from $10.80 billion in the 2010-11 budget, the last one under Gov. Jennifer Granholm. These numbers come from the Senate Fiscal Agency, which records state funds as either “state restricted” or “general fund.”

State funding increased to $11.21 billion under Snyder’s second budget. Each budget after that saw more state funds going to schools. Click here to read more.

 

The government regulated rideshare drivers and entrepreneurs, violating principles of federalism

In recent months, state and national governments have acted beyond their constitutional authority by imposing restrictive regulations on rideshare drivers and entrepreneurs. Despite clear constitutional boundaries, governments have unconstitutionally denied out-of-state drivers the ability to drive for rideshare services and required business owners to disclose private financial information to the government.

When the Founders contemplated concentrations of power, they created a system in which certain powers are divided between the state and national governments. But in these cases, the State of California and Congress acted beyond their constitutional authority, hurting hard-working Americans, entrepreneurs, and property buyers alike.

Our constitutional structure enumerates specific powers to the national government, while reserving the remaining powers to the states and the people, thereby protecting liberty. But our government has strayed from its commitment to these original principles. Click here to read more.

 

To Combat Academic Fraud, Scholars Confront Hallowed Tradition

The driving ethos of academia, “publish or perish,” is fighting for its life.

The requirement that scholars constantly publish or face academic ruin has been considered the primary engine of scientific discovery for decades. But a growing movement of universities and researchers is trying to banish the practice to the archives, saying it has perverted the pursuit of knowledge and eroded the public’s trust in science.

Reformers at top universities in Europe and the U.S., including Cambridge, Sorbonne, and UC Berkeley, say this traditional system of advancement has led to an explosion in the growth of low quality research, with little meaningful impact on academic fields or society. It has also sparked the spread of fraudulent research, as “paper mills” churn out fake articles for sale to academics seeking to pad their CVs. Click here to read more.

 

Bakery owner facing death threats over anti-ICE cookies refuses to back down

EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass.  - A Massachusetts bakery owner says she’s facing death threats and online harassment over cookies she made to express her frustrations with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but she’s refusing to back down.

Niki Moran, the owner of The Sweet Boutique in East Longmeadow, says strangers promised to burn down her bakery, threatened to assault her employees and wished death on her children all because of cookies.

“We’ve gotten a lot of death threats, hoping me and all my female employees get raped and my male employees get robbed, that they’re going to lock me in the building and burn the place down with me inside. It’s just been a lot,” Moran said.

She says she never expected this when she decorated a batch of cookies that read F--- ICE. Click here to read more.

 

New viral video alleges millions in fake medical transport claims in Minnesota

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A new video by viral conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley is renewing scrutiny of what investigators describe as one of the largest alleged social services fraud schemes in Minnesota history — with estimates reaching as high as $9 billion in stolen taxpayer funds.

Shirley first drew national attention last month after publishing footage highlighting alleged fraud within Minnesota’s day-care system, including facilities accused of billing the state for children who did not exist. His latest investigation, released Wednesday, shifts focus to another area of concern: non-emergency medical transportation services.

In the video, Shirley alleges transportation companies billed the state millions of dollars for rides that never occurred. He documents visits to addresses listed on state paperwork for several transportation providers, finding locations that appeared to have no connection to medical transport services — including liquor stores, money transfer businesses and private residences.
