WASHINGTON D.C. - Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines said the NFL was wrong to allow the Washington Commanders to dump its previous name, the Redskins, in what he calls a “case of woke gone wrong.”

Appearing on Fox News’ “s “America Reports,” Sen. Daines said that the Commanders should reverse course and return their former name to the team.

The man credited with the creation of the original logo, Blackie Wetzel, says he based his image on John Two Guns White Calf in 1971. The surviving family of John Two Guns White Calf also back the call to return the Redskins name and logo to the NFL.

“(Don Wetzel) had a vision to use the proud symbol to benefit his people,” Daines told committee members on Tuesday, according to the Daily Montanan. “This morning, I spoke to his son, Ryan Wetzel, about the ongoing negotiations and the progress that has been made.” Click here to read more.

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, COL - The FBI referred Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade for prosecution for making false statements related to a hate crime hoax intended to boost his candidacy, but the Department of Justice refused to pursue it for racial and political reasons, an FBI official told The Daily Wire.

On Nov. 12 the Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado announced that three of Mobolade’s supporters had been charged with writing the n-word on one of his campaign signs, erecting a burning cross in front of it, and sending video of the spectacle to the news media to turn out the black vote for Mobolade, an African immigrant. Mobolade, a left-wing candidate, went on to defeat a white Republican in a closely fought election in the conservative-leaning city.

Communications obtained by investigators showed that the now-mayor was in close contact with the lead suspect, Derrick Bernard, before the incident, on the day of, and afterward.

The FBI interviewed Mobolade twice to determine his knowledge of the hoax, and Mobolade explicitly and strenuously denied contact with Bernard, the official said. The official said there were dozens of messages between Bernard and the now-mayor. The official also said Mobolade was scrolling through his phone as a memory aide during the interview, but that “he was literally skipping over text messages,” not realizing that the bureau had already obtained them elsewhere.

TEMPLE TERRACE, Fla. – Parents are outraged after Florida Connections Academy, a taxpayer-funded virtual charter school, held an LGBTQ-themed virtual lesson for students, which the parents said was conducted without parental consent.

In response to a Florida’s Voice investigation, the state Department of Education sent a letter to Florida Connections Academy’s Executive Director Marcie Trombino notifying her that an investigation is underway and that he expects the school to “fully cooperate in this matter.”

The school email, verified by Florida’s Voice, was sent to students and invited those in grades 9-12 grades to “take some time to enjoy the company of LGBTQ+ students and allies from both Connections Academy schools around the country and Pearson Online Academy!”

The optional “Pride Snack and Chat” lesson was held at 12 p.m. on Nov. 15, during which various LGBTQ topics were discussed.

A verified parent, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Florida’s Voice they were not notified about the 12 p.m. event and that the event was not visible on the parent’s public calendar.

The parents said the event was “highly inappropriate – pretty disgusting.”

“Generally speaking it’s appalling that they went behind the parents’ backs and discussed these grotesque ideologies,” the parent told Florida’s Voice. “None of this stuff should be discussed in front of children.” Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - A growing body of Democrat legislators in Michigan are packing their social media bags as the House enters its lame duck session — and potentially leaving constituents behind. 

A contingent of House Democrats announced plans to leave the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in favor of Bluesky, a Twitter clone spun off from the company under ex-CEO Jack Dorsey’s tenure. 

The House Democrat caucus itself announced a move to the site, although not necessarily plans to stop posting on X, which is now owned by anti-censorship, free speech billionaire Elon Musk. 

The catch is, the platform Bluesky is, by its own users, heavily censored. The site, whose traffic shot up after a left exodus from X, saw a spike in complaints, censorship requests, and on leftist arrival, a flood of child pornography.   Click here to read more.

YPSILANTI, Mich - The Ypsilanti, Michigan Public Library announced on Facebook they are leaving X (Twitter).

This is the reason they gave:

Facebook users aren’t buying the libraries explanation of the exit from X (twitter).

 

 

 

Others agree with the move, agreeing with the library that this move is not political.

 

 

Twitter, now rebranded as X by owner Elon Musk, continues to divide public opinion, with its evolving policies and business strategies sparking heated debate. Once a platform hailed for amplifying voices worldwide, its recent changes under new ownership have prompted both praise and criticism.

Supporters of the platform argue that its shift toward prioritizing free speech and reducing content moderation is a necessary correction to perceived censorship.

Critics on the left argue that Twitter has not done enough to curb hate speech, misinformation, and harassment, especially against marginalized communities.

What is BlueSky?

Bluesky was initially conceived as a project within Twitter in 2019, with the goal of creating a decentralized standard for social media. It became an independent organization in 2021.

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has been a prominent advocate for Bluesky and its decentralized approach.

Unlike traditional platforms, which are controlled by a single company, Bluesky allows users to host their own servers and interact across a network of servers. This decentralization aims to reduce centralized control and censorship.

As controversies around Twitter have grown, including its policy changes and rebranding as X, Bluesky has been viewed as a potential competitor or alternative.

HARRISBURG, PA - The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is ordering Boards of Elections throughout the state to follow its previous rulings and not count “mail-in and absentee ballots that fail to comply” with the state election code.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued its ruling on Monday, as elections board officials in Bucks County, in particular, have defied Pennsylvania Supreme Court precedent and moved to count ballots that the court has determined cannot be counted.

WASHINGTON D.C. - South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace is following up her Capitol Hill bathroom legislation with yet another bill protecting women’s spaces — this time, banning men who identify as transgender women from using women’s facilities on any federal property.

Mace’s bill, the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” was obtained exclusively on Wednesday morning by The Daily Wire. It will “prohibit individuals from accessing or using single-sex facilities on federal property other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” It forbids anyone from accessing facilities on federal property that do not correspond with their biological sex, and it provides precise definitions of what it means to be female or male.

Mace sparked a backlash this week when she introduced a bill banning trans-identifying men from women’s bathrooms or facilities on Capitol Hill. The resolution specifically states that “allowing biological males into single-sex facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms designed for women, jeopardizes the safety and dignity of members, officers, and employees of the House who are female.” Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - A Democratic plan to end cash bail in Michigan is so extreme that even Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel, a former civil rights attorney, opposes it.

The House Criminal Justice Committee is considering House Bills 4655, 4656, 4658, 4659, 4660 and 4661. The measures were introduced in May 2023 and have new life as Democrats move to push through progressive bills before they lose their trifecta control of state government next year.

If signed into law, the measures would mandate judges to release suspects charged with “low-level” crimes, regardless of the defendant’s background. Judges could not consider a suspect’s criminal history, prior failures to appear in court, the circumstances of their arrest or the potential danger to the community.

“This represents a dangerous shift in how we handle public safety,” state Rep. Graham Filler, R-Duplain Township, said in a release. “The people of Michigan deserve a criminal justice system that prioritizes their safety. These bills would force judges to let certain offenders walk free without bail, even if they pose a clear threat to public safety.” Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - Ever wonder what happens to your hard-earned tax dollars? If so, you might want to pour yourself a stiff drink before reading further.

In a recent Ingham County Board of Commissioners meeting, the county’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, its Equal Opportunity Committee, and its Women’s Commission proposed a new expenditure: free menstrual products in all public restrooms, including men’s facilities. 

I would be shocked to find a single man in the state who is banging on their government representatives’ doors demanding access to free tampons. But Ingham County’s DEI racket wants to give them tampons anyway—not because men need them, but because it would be discriminatory to assume otherwise. Don’t you know there are men who aren’t actually men!

We used to call those people women, but now they’re just “menstruating individuals,” according to the Ingham County proposal. 

The county estimates the proposal will cost up to $32,000. Of course, that number could—and probably will—go up with time, as the proposal itself acknowledges. Ongoing costs will be “determined and adjusted based on utilization,” it says. Click here to read more.
