LANSING, Mich. – Michigan News Source has learned that Michigan legislators have plans to introduce a sweeping bill this month that could radically change the state’s public school curriculum around sex education, gender identity, and reproductive health. Fast-tracked for the lame duck session, the bill aims to reshape traditional values in schools, sparking intense opposition from critics who see it as an overreach of Democratic government ideologies that would affect approximately 1.3 million students in nearly 3,000 public schools across the state

According to Salt & Light Global, a religious advocacy group, this is the current state of sex education in the state: “Currently, children typically begin studying Sex Education in upper elementary school (as early as grades 3 and 4) with continued studies throughout high school. A board of community members, including parents, teachers, and clergy work with the local school board to approve curriculum in each district, in accordance with legislative guidelines that teach abstinence first, alongside elements of healthy relationships, consent and refusal skills, and how to mitigate health risks. Students also learn about healthy family life and how think carefully about the long-term impact of their actions. Current standards actively involve parents and do not allow for school teaching on abortion or distribution of contraceptives.” Click here to read more.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - Kamala Harris’ failed bid for the presidency had an estimated cost of more than $1 billion. According to one report, a portion of that money went to celebrities and social media influencers who touted the Democratic candidate on their sizable platforms.

For example, Oprah Winfrey‘s company, Harpo Productions, received $1 million from the Harris campaign on October 15 after Winfrey hosted a town hall event for the campaign in September, per The Washington Examiner.

Oprah was also featured at Harris’ final campaign rally in Philadelphia just days before the election, where she warned voters to get to the polls instead of being tempted to “sit this one out.”

“If we don’t show up tomorrow, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again,” Oprah warned at the time. “And let me be very clear, if you do not make sure that the people in your life can get to the polls, that is a mistake.” Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK, NY - Mattel has apologized after boxes for some of its new dolls from the movie "Wicked" included a link to a pornographic website.

The packages for the dolls were printed with a web address to an adult film site with the same name as the upcoming movie musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

Customers who noticed the mistake shared images of the toy boxes on social media.

Sarah Genao, a popular YouTube creator who makes videos about Legos, told ABC News she first heard about the printing mishap on Reddit and went to Target to see it for herself.

"I thought it was really funny initially, but I was also concerned because this went under the radar," she said, noting the dolls had already been on shelves for weeks. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Elon Musk has thrown down a $2 trillion gauntlet, claiming he can slash federal spending by that amount. While the billionaire's proclamations on X often generate more heat than light, one can only hope he will succeed.

The real question isn't whether we can cut $2 trillion from a bloated $6.8 trillion federal budget—we absolutely can. After all, the government managed to function at $4.4 trillion five years ago, and American civilization didn't collapse. The economy was humming, wages were rising, and poverty was falling. 

The fact that it's feasible, however, does not mean Musk will actually succeed. Before Washington's army of spending defenders, many of them Republicans, starts wailing about draconian cuts, let's discuss the actual question: how to trim the fat without harming the muscle. 

Theoretically, one of the most straightforward budget-cutting approaches is an across-the-board or uniform-reduction rule. There is plenty to cut everywhere in the budget, including the large slice that funds the Department of Defense. The Congressional Budget Office's biennial Options for Reducing the Deficit lists reductions to the Pentagon's budget that would save $995 billion over ten years. Click here to read more.

 

NASHVILLE, TN - ERWIN, Tenn. (Gray News) – A body that was buried in North Carolina was washed into Tennessee due to flooding caused by Hurricane Helene in September, according to Erwin Police Chief Regan Tilson.

Officials said the body was buried in Whitson Cemetery in Yancey County in 2006.

The flood waters washed the body to Unicoi County.

Details about the identification of the body were not released.

Helene brought widespread devastation to western North Carolina, causing 1,400 landslides and damaging over 160 water and sewer systems, according to the state budget office. Click here to read more.

Taylor, Michigan School Superintendent Bans Political Displays in Classrooms follow pushback from parents. Decision follows national debates ove

TAYLOR, Mich. - Taylor School District’s superintendent Mike Wegher announced a ban on classroom displays considered politically controversial after a photo surfaced of a local classroom decorated with a Black Lives Matter flag, a “Science is Real” banner, and a Taylor Swift poster.

The image sparked backlash in the community, with some parents arguing the displays promoted political messages. Superintendent Mark Maloney said the new policy will prohibit all political symbols, including Black Lives Matter, “Blue Lives Matter,” and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags.

“This policy applies across the board,” Maloney said. “Whether it’s BLM, Blue Lives Matter, or Don’t Tread on Me, we’re not allowing any of it. Our classrooms should remain focused on education, not political debate.” He noted that items tied directly to classroom material would still be permitted but acknowledged it could take time for staff to adjust.

The move places Taylor among a growing number of ...

Jocelyn Benson’s proposed election rule changes make it easier to cheat, harder to challenge illegal votes

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson wants to make it easier to cheat and more difficult to challenge illegal votes and registrations through a dozen proposed rule changes that will be presented at a public hearing on Friday.

The administrative hearing, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Binsfeld Office Building in Lansing, marks a departure from Benson’s tactic of unilaterally imposing changes repeatedly rules unlawful by courts for circumventing the state’s Administrative Procedures Act.

State law requires Benson to provide public notice of rule changes and opportunities for Michiganders to weigh in before adoption.

The proposed changes for Friday involve voter registration cancellations, challenges, corrections, and overseas voting privileges, which Patrice Johnson, founder of the Michigan Fair Elections Institute, argues “will be devastating to citizen and clerk input to clean the voter rolls.” Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Rep. Blows the Lid Off American Medical Association’s Gender “Care” Narrative

LANSING, Mich. – Michigan Representative Brad Paquette (R-Niles), a former teacher, has been on a mission to protect children from gender care medical experimentation and has introduced bills to criminalize gender-affirming care for minors. According to a May press release, Paquette’s three-bill package would “prohibit health care providers from conducting hormone treatments, surgeries for sterilization, and surgeries that alter genital appearance on minors, with an exception for minors with medically verifiable disorders of sex development or those facing imminent danger from physical condition.”

Paquette said, “It is time for the experimentation on children in the name of care to come to an end. Children are not born in the wrong body. No one has the right to maim a healthy child’s body to try to achieve the unachievable.” Click here to read more.

 

A Comedian Was Jailed In The UK For Jokes. Is Britain Now North Korea?

A member of Parliament warned U.S. legislators Wednesday that Americans could face arrest in the United Kingdom for what they post on social media, under a new British law that has received wide attention this week.

Comments in Washington by Nigel Farage, leader of the conservative Reform UK party, come amid fresh scrutiny of Britain’s Online Safety Act, which, among other things, makes it illegal to incite violence through internet posts.

Even some supporters of the measure seem to be questioning the enforcement side after Irish comedian Graham Linehan was arrested Monday at Heathrow Airport for social media posts about transgender people. Click here to read more.

 

Senator Says It’s ‘Extremely Troubling’ to Believe Rights Come From the Creator

The U.S. Senate has wasted no time getting back to serving the American people after its six-week summer recess. With issues like the Sept. 30 deadline to have either a budget or a continuing resolution or risk a partial government shutdown on the agenda, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia reminded us of the twisted view the Left has of our civil rights and how much control it wants government to have over them.

During a nominations hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, the former Democrat vice presidential candidate said, “The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator … that’s what the Iranian government believes. … So, the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” Click here to read more.

 

A Health Care Tax Hike Poses the Greatest Midterm Threat to the GOP

As a pollster, I know numbers. And right now, our poll numbers are issuing a stark warning about the future of our party’s majorities in Washington. If Congress fails to act on a critical issue this year – to preserve key health care tax credits for millions of working, middle-class Americans in the individual health insurance marketplace – these Americans will get hit with an unexpected tax increase. After four years of Biden-Harris inflation, it’s a tax they can’t afford.

Our recent national survey reveals a clear mandate that every Republican lawmaker should be working to preserve these health care tax credits that help make health insurance more affordable for working Americans, or risk significant political consequences. Click here to read more.

ChatGPT's safety fixes come amid scrutiny over teen use of AI chatbot companions

OpenAI announced steps it's taking over the coming months to address safety concerns for people, especially teenagers, who use the company's chatbots while experiencing mental and emotional distress.

The actions come on the heels of a lawsuit filed against the ChatGPT maker on behalf of a family who lost their 16-year-old son to suicide after the company’s chatbot allegedly encouraged his suicidal ideation.

OpenAI’s post on Tuesday announcing the new safety actions didn’t mention the teen, Adam Raine.

OpenAI said it’s enlisting the help of youth development and mental health experts in designing future safeguards for its chatbots.

The company said it will begin routing “sensitive conversations” to more advanced “reasoning models” that are capable of following safety guidelines more consistently.

And it’s giving parents the ability to link accounts with their teens, disable features and get notifications when ChatGPT detects acute distress in the interaction with the young user. Click here to read more.

 

First In The Nation: Florida To End All Vaccine Mandates

Florida’s surgeon general, alongside GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, announced on Wednesday that the Sunshine State will end all vaccination mandates, including requirements for schools.

“The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the government, is working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law — all of them,” Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo told a room of supporters. “Every last one of them.”

Ladapo went on to say that the government has no right to tell parents what to put in their children’s bodies, or their own bodies, sparking loud applause.

“Every last [mandate] is wrong and drips with disdain — and slavery,” he argued. “Who am I, or anyone else … to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?” Click here to read more.
