November 11, 2024

OSCODA, MICH - A social most post that has gone viral has a lot of people asking questions about FEMA and Oscoda, Michigan.

The post states “FEMA is staging 350 Semi-Trailers and Equipment at an Air Force Bases in Oscoda, Michigan. The AFB was decommissioned in the 90’s. It’s for emergency services.

 

A video was also posted online showing an Oscoda Twp. official talking about this at a recent meeting saying FEMA was possibly coming to Wurtsmith.

I reached out to FEMA for explanation and they released the following statement:

“EMA routinely assesses the viability of sites that may be used in future disasters. There is no plan to use the Wurtsmith location to stage commodities at this time. We have no trailers at the location or on the way. This is an unfortunate misunderstanding."

Oscoda Twp. Manager Bill Palmer released the following statement:

“I misspoke at the Board meeting when I said FEMA was sending 350 semi's to Wurtsmith what I meant to say was Wurtsmith was being " considered" as a secure location along with 5 other possible locations for this secure staging of FEMA equipment, this would simply be a staging area for FEMA to cover some 6 counties in northern Michigan,as I understand, in case of an emergency or disaster of some kind, however at this time no decision has been made by FEMA to my knowledge.  And I have no idea why FEMA is considering this possible action.”

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson accused of not complying with subpoena

LANSING, MIch - The Michigan House Oversight Committee’s rare decision to issue two subpoenas against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has intensified, with House Speaker Matt Hall claiming today that Benson has explicitly refused to comply. The subpoenas, authorized on April 15 in a 9-6 party-line vote, demand election training materials that Republicans say Benson has withheld, escalating a months-long clash over transparency and election security.

The dispute began in November 2024, when Rep. Rachelle Smit (R-Martin), then minority vice chair of the House Elections Committee, requested training materials provided to local election clerks to ensure compliance with new laws, including a 2022 constitutional amendment expanding early voting. Benson’s office provided hundreds of documents but withheld others, citing sensitive election security information that required redaction. The standoff prompted Rep. Jay DeBoyer (R-Clay Township), chair of the Oversight Committee, to issue subpoenas—one ...

Bay City, Michigan teacher goes on vulgar rant against Trump, Musk and DOGE at public meeting.

BAY CITY, Mich. — I have confirmed that Carrollton High School history teacher Matthew Sylvester delivered a profanity-laced speech during the April 7, 2025, Bay City Commission meeting.

The public comment period centered on a controversial “welcoming city” resolution, which would have declared that all residents are welcome in Bay City. The commission initially passed the resolution in a narrow 5-4 vote.

However, during the April 7 meeting, Bay City Mayor Christopher Girard announced he had vetoed the resolution. The commission had the option to override the veto but declined to do so.

During the Monday meeting various people from the community spoke in favor and opposition of the resolution.

Carrollton High School History Teacher Matthew Sylvester took to the podium using vulgar language and even saying at one point calling Elon Musk and illegal immigrant.

Carrollton Schools Superintendent Tiffany L Peterson sent me the following statement:

Thank you for bringing this matter to my ...

GREAT BRITIAN - Just when you thought things couldn’t get more crazy – It does get more crazy.

I have previously reported on how a company called Make Sunsets have been spraying TOXIC chemicals in the air in order to block out the sun.

But now Britain is about to do the same.

Within the next weeks the British government will be giving the green light to conduct experiments to dim sunlight to stop global warming they say.

They are considering field trials which include spraying particles into the atmosphere in order to block out the sun, and the government has set aside a whopping £50 million for this.

Other ideas they have include creating certain clouds to allow more heat to escape from earth. Click here to read more.

 

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIF - The tragic deaths of two American teenagers at the hands of an illegal alien was “completely preventable,” according to a top Department of Homeland Security official.

Illegal alien Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano was deported from the U.S. twice before being “convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, which resulted in the death of a young American couple,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, told The Daily Signal. “This criminal illegal alien should have never been in our country.”

Ortega-Anguiano was sentenced to 10 years in prison after crashing into a vehicle on a freeway in Orange County, Calif., in 2021, claiming the lives of Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin, who were both 19 at the time.

The parents of the teens were informed on Easter Sunday that the man responsible for their children’s deaths will be released from prison early. Click here to read more.

 

CHINA- President Donald Trump mocked China on Tuesday for its pollution, which represents a sizable share of the world’s waste.

Trump posted a series of photos to his Truth Social account that showed islands of floating bottles, plastics, and other waste in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The president called the mess “A Gift from China.”

China is one of the foremost polluting countries, commonly ranking near the top on lists of nations that produce the most waste that finds its way into the natural environment. China was number four on a list of “highest ocean plastic waste polluters in 2025” put together by the United Kingdom’s GreenMatch.

China produces 71,000 metric tons of plastic waste that ends up in the ocean, according to GreenMatch. China ranked just behind Malaysia, which produces 73,000 metric tons. The Philippines and India took the top two spots at 360,000 metric tons and 130,000 metric tons, respectively.

 

LANSING, MICH - A Michigan dentist with 40 years of experience is challenging a 2020 directive from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that requires all health care professionals to take implicit bias training to keep their professional licenses.

Kent Wildern, a dentist who practiced in Grand Rapids, was forced to surrender his license after he refused to complete the hotly debated social training.

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs implemented new rules in 2022 that compel more than 400,000 health care professionals to complete two hours of implicit bias training every renewal cycle.

Michiganders licensed by the state across 26 occupations ranging from medical practice to santitary services to acupuncture must complete the training to renew their professional licenses. Veterinarians were exempted. Click here to read more.

 

Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison is trying to explain his support for a Muslim children’s organization that is being prosecuted for massive fraud.

Federal prosecutors have been investigating the Minneapolis-based Somali organization that was supposed to be raising funds for children but instead turned into the most expensive fraud concerning COVID funding in the entire nation, where 47 Somali immigrants have been charged with stealing $250 million in federal COVID funding.

Yet, Ellison took a meeting with representatives of that charity even as it was being investigated and now, in an op-ed, he is suddenly claiming, “as for the meeting — if I had had any way of knowing beforehand who those people were and what they’d done, I never would have agreed to it.”

But his claim is hard to square with his past statements on this very group, not to mention a recently released recording of a meeting he took with them. Click here to read more.

WASHINGTON D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing the extent to which parents can opt their children out of public school instruction in which LGBT-themed books are read as part of the curriculum.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday morning in the case of Mahmoud, Tamer, et al. v. Taylor, Thomas W., et al. The case centers on whether public school parents in Montgomery County, Maryland — the state's largest school district — have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to exempt their children from lessons that feature LGBT ideology.

Eric Baxter of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty argued the case on behalf of a diverse coalition of Christian, Muslim and Jewish parents, saying in his opening arguments that "petitioners deserve complete preliminary relief" from the school district because it won't allow them to opt their children out of such instruction.

DENTON COUNTY, TX - Tributes poured in for Denton County Precinct 3 Commissioner Bobbie Mitchell and her husband, Fred, as more details emerged Tuesday about a stabbing that police say led to the arrest of the couple’s grandson Monday morning at their home in Lewisville.

Fred Mitchell, 75, died from his wounds soon after the incident, police said, while Bobbie Mitchell, 76, is expected to recover after undergoing surgery.

The couple’s 23-year-old grandson, Mitchell Reinacher, is suspected of stabbing his grandparents and is facing charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Police have not said what might have led to the deadly attack but an arrest-warrant affidavit for Reinacher provided some details of the chaos and violence at the Mitchell residence early Monday. Click here to read more.

 

ST. PAUL, MN — A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill in the Minnesota House of Representatives that would classify mRNA vaccines and products as "weapons of mass destruction" and criminalize their manufacture, distribution, and possession.

"It's a shot across the bow of the biotechnology industry, which has taken advantage of its unique liability protections and the fear generated by emergency to fast-track novel gene-altering treatments which are not fully understood," Rep. Walter Hudson (Albertville), one of the bill's authors, told Patch.

"These treatments were coerced under threat of lost employment and social censure, rather than offered under the longstanding ethical norm of informed consent."

Hudson said the bill "would need significant amendment to become law" but described its "bold opening position" as an effort to "provoke productive conversation about these issues" and ultimately "arrive at a reasonable legislative response." Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former White House Chief Medical Adviser and a prominent figure during the COVID-19 pandemic, has seen a significant increase in his wealth since retiring from government service, according to the government watchdog group Open the Books.

"He was the highest-paid bureaucrat when he was working for the federal government, he was making $480,000 as his final salary. He’s actually doing even better post-retirement," said Rachel O’Brien, Public Policy Editor at Open the Books.

Open the Books obtained Fauci’s financial disclosure, revealing that his household earned more than $3.5 million in 2023. This included multiple six-figure deposits, though the sources of these deposits were not detailed in the documents. Fauci reportedly had several paid speaking engagements and sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for approximately $5 million. Click here to read more.

 

HOOVER, Ala. - Nearly two years after faking her own disappearance, Carlee Russell has paid less than $1,000 in restitution to the City of Hoover.

A Jefferson County judge appeared satisfied with Russell as she briefly stood before him in court Tuesday for a probationary review, during which it was reported that she had paid roughly $500 so far to Hoover in $50 monthly installments.

That judge also confirmed Russell has successfully completed her supervised probation.

Russell has been ordered to pay nearly $18,000 to the city for expenses related to the two-day search for her.

While Russell is said to be making restitution payments to the city of hoover in a timely manner, prosecutors say the amount of time it’s taking is frustrating.

An attorney for Russell told reporters following the court appearance that it’s been difficult for her client to find work due to the widespread media attention of her disappearance. Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - Michigan governmental agencies will spend more than $150,000 to hold a conference on climate-related policies in April. The policies likely to be discussed will, however, have little effect on the climate, according to a university-based scientist.

Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy will hold its 2025 Healthy Climate Conference on April 22-23 at the Huntington Place in Detroit. The department’s plans call for the state to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

Speakers will discuss the transition to electric vehicles, how to decarbonize cities, clean the electric grid, and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, according to a website for the conference.

All of these things would increase the cost of electricity while hurting reliability, Michigan Capitol Confidential has reported.

Grand Rapids the state’s second-largest city, urges residents to drive less, use less energy, and switch to driving electric vehicles. Other cities enacting climate change policies include East Lansing, Jackson, Muskegon, Sterling Heights and Warren.

 

LANSING, MICH - As Michigan continues to grapple with declining literacy rates, the state House took up House Bill 4156, a proposal aimed at reintroducing phonics-based reading instruction in public schools.

Fifty-seven of the Republicans who voted on the measure backed the bill, calling phonics a time-tested method to improve literacy.

However, 43 of the Democratic legislators who voted opposed the bill, including: Reps. Joey Andrews, Noah Arbit, Kelly Breen, Julie Brixie, Brenda Carter, Tyrone Carter, Jennifer Conlin, Emily Dievendorf, Kimberly Edwards, Alabas Farhat, John Fitzgerald, Morgan Foreman, Peter Herzberg, Kara Hope, Jason Hoskins, Matt Koleszar, Tullio Liberati, Matt Longjohn, Sharon MacDonell, Jasper Martus, Mike McFall, Donavan McKinney, Denise Mentzer, Reggie Miller, Tonya Myers Phillips, Cynthia Neeley, Amos O’Neal, Laurie Pohutsky, Natalie Price, Ranjeev Puri, Carrie Rheingans, Julie Rogers, Phil Skaggs, Will Snyder, Joe Tate, Penelope Tsernoglou, Dylan Wegela, Jimmie Wilson Jr., Angela Witwer, Stephen Wooden, Mai Xiong, and Stephanie Young all voted “no” on HB 4156.

PHOENIX, AZ - Our communities are the building blocks of society. Whether neighbors, churches, family, or the family we create from our friends, our communities shape who we are. They also serve as core support systems. It is through these connections that we know what it means to be human.

For 25-year-old Austin Davis, his love for his community is the driving force behind everything he does. Austin has spent the past five years running Arizona Hugs, a group that provides meals and support for Tempe’s homeless population. He didn’t wake up one morning and decide on a whim to get into charity work; his call to serve arose organically as he built personal relationships with the homeless community. While attending Arizona State University, Austin would skate to class and around town, which is how he got to know the folks he lovingly refers to as his “homies.”

Much of the homeless population lived in an area of town known as the river bottom, which most people avoid. But Austin was always welcome and soon became a regular fixture down there. When the community showed Austin that they trusted him, he told them, “I want to show that same trust right back at you.” Above all, Austin wanted to impart a sense of community. As he says, “The best way for someone to get off drugs or work through their trauma is to create a stable, safe environment where their basic needs are met, and they feel safe enough to trust the people around them.” Click here to read more.

 

VIRGNIA BEACH, VA - The budget chair of a beleaguered $4 billion school system spent years pulling off a premeditated con to steal two airplanes worth $1.5 million, a new lawsuit filing alleges.

Kyle McDaniel, a member of Virginia’s Fairfax County School Board, was accused by his private-sector employer of using corporate credit cards to spend $150,000 on personal expenses, strip clubs, and his school board campaign, according to a lawsuit first reported by The Daily Wire earlier this month.

Now, that employer, Blue Label Aviation, added in court documents obtained by The Daily Wire that it has since discovered that McDaniel’s alleged fraud was significantly worse. It outlined methodical, years-long financial fraud that raises questions about how the all-Democrat school board could continue to let McDaniel oversee the finances of one of America’s largest school systems.

FCPS this month resorted to enlisting children to beg for more money, telling them the school system is in a financial crisis, has already cut all non-essential services, and that if the county doesn’t steer unprecedented amounts of money to the schools, children will suffer. It gave them an activist “toolkit” to pressure the leaders who disburse funding to the school system. Click here to read more.

 

SEATTLE — Current and former Seattle police officers who attended President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” political rally on Jan. 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol are asking the nation’s highest court to keep their identities anonymous in public court records.

Using “John Doe” pseudonyms, they sued over whether the investigation into their activities should be made public. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in February that they can be identified and that they haven’t shown that public release of their names violates their right to privacy. The state supreme court denied reconsideration earlier this month and lawyers for the four officers submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking that the names remain protected during their legal challenge.

Four officers who attended events in the nation’s capital on the day of an insurrection claimed they are protected under the state’s public records law. They say they did nothing wrong and that revealing their names would violate their privacy.

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 events, the Seattle Police Department ordered an investigation into whether any of its officers who traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the rally had violated any laws or department policies. Click here to read more.
