LANSING, Mich - A new Michigan Supreme Court decision means that controversial pandemic-era emergency policies may never face a proper judicial review, and that government officials who issued them will escape accountability.

The court on Nov. 1 dismissed two important cases about the government’s use of emergency powers in response to Covid-19. The majority on the court declared these cases moot because the mandates in question — making children wear masks at school and forcing restaurants to close — are no longer in effect.

The rationale for dismissing these cases is weak. The court notes in its order that a case with “public significance that is likely to recur” should not be considered moot. It’s hard to imagine a public policy more significant to the public than these pandemic mandates. Many of them directly affected the daily lives of the entire state population.

But the Michigan Supreme Court thinks these orders are not likely to be issued again. Here’s hoping they’re correct, but predicting the future is hard. It is important to remember that there is nothing preventing government officials, if they wanted to, from issuing these exact orders tomorrow. There are virtually no restrictions in state law on when these emergency powers may be used. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Biden administration was roasted on Sunday after the Department of Health and Human Services celebrated “Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day” in a social media post.

Republicans ripped into the agency for the post, saying that President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration could not come soon enough. Trump has promised to bring sweeping reform to the federal government and eliminate politically motivated bureaucrats.

“Today on Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day, everyone deserves to feel seen, respected and supported—no matter who they love,” the HHS posted on X. “Create a world where everyone feels proud to be themselves!” Click here to read more.


 

DEL RIO, TX - In June, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five in Maryland. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a nine-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say he came to the U.S. illegally to escape prosecution for at least one other murder in his native El Salvador in December 2022.

“That should never have been allowed to happen,” said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler, referring to the numerous missed red flags the case presented. His office apprehended Hernandez in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Like the member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua sentenced to life in prison last week for the murder of Laken Riley in Georgia, Hernandez’s case is shining a light on the federal government’s failure to properly vet and keep track of lawless migrants.

These gaps have led to broad claims that illegal immigrants have less involvement with the criminal justice system than native-born Americans. A review of the available data, however, shows that the criminal records of millions of migrants – the ones President-elect Trump vows to prioritize for deportation – remain unknown due to illegal crossings, lax enforcement, and lax data collection by federal and “sanctuary” jurisdictions.

WASHINGTON D.C. - An ongoing war in Syria has suddenly ended with the overturning of the long-standing Syrian government, creating national security and humanitarian concerns but also threatening global oil markets.

“Russian oil and gas companies have operated in Syria for years adding to the world’s supply. The future of those operations is now in jeopardy,” Daniel Turner, executive director of the energy workers advocacy group, Power the Future, told The Center Square. “This could be a strategic blow for Putin, but these are global commodities, and we are not immune from the price fluctuations.”

So far, gas prices have remained relatively stable, however instability in the Middle East can cause price spikes. However, that instability may already be baked in given the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and Iran’s involvement via proxy terrorist groups.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas is about $3.00, according to AAA, much lower than the spike to $5 per gallon earlier in President Joe Biden’s term. AAA reported last week taht gas prices hit the lowest point in 3 years.

“The national average is tantalizingly close to falling below $3 a gallon, and it could happen in a few days,” Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a statement. “But 32 states already have an average below or well below $3. Hockley County, Texas, appears to have the lowest county average, at $2.30. Click here to read more.

 

CHICAGO, IL - Illinois saw the third-highest rate of residents moving out in 2024 based on a survey by Atlas Van Lines. Jobs and taxes are among the top reasons people leave Illinois, which is also third in the nation for highest unemployment rate.

New numbers show more Illinoisans packed their bags for good in 2024.

Illinois is third in the nation for residents leaving by percentage, according to a survey by moving company Atlas Van Lines. Illinoisans packing up and finding a new state were 57% of total migration, the third-highest percentage behind California and Louisiana.

IRS data shows 56% of Illinoisans moving out make more than $100,000, the people with the greatest capacity to leave. And they also took $8.8 billion in income with them, too, usually to lower-tax states. A lot of the outmigration comes from Chicago, which is at its lowest population since 1920.

Illinoisans leaving the state don’t have to go far for lower-tax destinations. More than 20,000 of the residents migrating out of Illinois went to another midwest state, so they must be leaving for reasons besides the weather.

Illinois is also third in the nation for highest unemployment rate and total population loss. Illinois’ population shrunk by 87,311 people in 2022 based on the most recent IRS data. New data is expected this month for 2023.

Illinois also has the second-highest property tax rate, corporate income tax rate and gas tax rate on top of gloomy population patterns. Click here to read more.

MICHIGAN PORK ALERT

🚨PORK ALERT🚨Mackinac County, Michigan —one of Michigan’s smaller counties—received the highest per capita pork funding, at a staggering $725 per person. Meanwhile, Livingston County got just 62 cents per person. Even some of Michigan’s largest counties, like Oakland ($37 per capita) and Washtenaw ($76 per capita), received well below the average.

Even more shocking, 40 counties got nothing at all. That’s right—taxpayers in those areas helped fund this spending spree but saw none of the benefits. From Mackinac Center.

Detroit NBC Affiliate Omits Illegal Immigration Status in Coverage of Suspect Facing Life for Child Sexual Assault
WDIV Report Leaves Out Suspect’s Prior Deportation and Police Chief’s Condemnation in High-Profile Shelby Township Case

Shelby Township, MI – Joel Quintana-Dominguez, a 32-year-old who was living in Shelby Township, has been bound over to Macomb County Circuit Court to face trial on three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor under 13.

The charges, classified as life felonies, stem from multiple alleged assaults that took place in 2024.

The case, which has drawn significant attention due to the severity of the accusations and the suspect’s immigration status, was reported by numerous media organizations and stated publicly by the Shelby Twp. Police Department in 2024 — but key details were notably absent from a recent report by WDIV, Detroit’s NBC affiliate.

Did the writer omit this information on purpose, or did the writer not do research into the history of the case and unknowingly not report the information? Having worked in a newsroom I understand how some newsroom employees can fail to do a proper job of reporting given the amount of news happening in a given day.

If it was intentionally omitted, that is a major problem.

On July 15, 2024, Shelby Township Police began investigating Quintana-Dominguez following a report of sexual assault against a minor. Detectives uncovered evidence suggesting the assaults occurred on multiple occasions within the township. Acting quickly, law enforcement located the suspect in a mobile home community in Macomb County after receiving indications he may have been tipped off and was preparing to flee the country. Quintana-Dominguez was arrested and, on July 19, arraigned in Shelby Township’s 41-A District Court by Magistrate Verploeg. His bond was set at $500,000 cash/surety.

 

In a statement following the arraignment, Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Shelide expressed outrage over the case: “I am disgusted and sickened after hearing the details of what Quintana-Dominguez is being charged with. I am also appalled to hear that he had been deported in the past and was able to find his way back into the United States. These types of actions from illegal aliens are harming the country.” Chief Shelide praised the detective bureau’s swift action in apprehending the suspect.

Court records confirm that Quintana-Dominguez had previously been deported and had re-entered the United States illegally—a critical detail that sheds light on the broader context of the case. On February 20, 2025, Shelby Township District Court transferred the case to Macomb County Circuit Court, with Quintana-Dominguez’s next hearing scheduled for March 6, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.

While WDIV reported on February 21, 2025, that Quintana-Dominguez faces trial for the alleged assaults, their coverage omitted several significant aspects of the story. The NBC affiliate failed to mention the suspect’s illegal immigration status, his prior deportation, the possibility he was attempting to flee the country, and the strong statements from Chief Shelide condemning both the alleged crimes and the suspect’s presence in the U.S. These omissions leave out key elements that have fueled local discussion about the case, particularly in light of ongoing national debates over immigration policy and public safety.

 
 

Once again, I would hope this was an error by the reporter and not something that was done intentionally. If the station updates the web story I will update this story.

DENVER, COL - Now that Colorado’s semiautomatic firearm ban has passed the senate all eyes are on the house, where the bill must pass in order to make its way to Gov. Jared Polis’s (D) desk.

Breitbart News noted that the ban passed in the Colorado Senate by a vote of 19-15 — and all 19 votes in favor of the measure were cast by Democrats.

The ban covers America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15, as well as numerous semiautomatic shotguns and pistols.

The bill says:

The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir, an individual residing in another state, or a federally licensed firearm dealer.

The bill passed the Senate after a deal was struck to allow exemptions to the ban for would-be gun buyers who cooperate with special prepurchase conditions and requirements, including training and a vetting process similar to that required for a concealed carry permit. Click here to read more.

TIMMINS, Ontario - A doctor learned he was having a heart attack while treating a cardiac patient who was experiencing the same symptoms the doctor had displayed for months.

According to a press release from Timmins and District Hospital (TDH), Dr. Chris Loreto had been experiencing intense chest pains for over four months, which he chalked up to acid reflux. Specifically, the pain would reach its highest intensity during exercise and the acid reflux medication his doctor prescribed was not helping.

The pain came to a head on Nov. 12 while Loreto was playing hockey, but he "shrugged it off," according to TDH, the hospital Loreto worked for.

"He went to work the next morning," the release said. "Near the end of his shift, a patient had a massive heart attack which Dr. Loreto jumped in to help with. Afterwards, he spoke to the patient's wife to learn more about his symptoms leading up to this event. Both he and the patient were on the same medication for acid reflux."

 

BOSTON, MASS - Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines.

The previously-unknown condition - dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome' - appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance.

Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot.

The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.

The full results of the small study have not yet been published, and the Yale experts emphasized the results 'are still a work in progress.'

Yet the findings, from a well-respected institution, suggest more research on post-vaccination syndrome is needed, independent experts said.

The next phase of the research will be to ascertain how widespread the condition is and who is most at risk. Click here to read more.

 

ATLANTA, GA _ A Georgia woman is suing a fertility clinic after she says she was implanted with a stranger’s embryo.

Krystena Murray, 38, gave birth to a healthy black baby boy in December 2023, following IVF treatments. However, Murray is white, as is the male donor, who has “dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.”

After the woman says she told Coastal Fertility Specialists (CFS) of their error, the clinic notified the baby’s biological parents, who sued Murray for custody of the child. Murray says she gave up the five-month-old baby instead of continuing to pursue a legal fight she was told she couldn’t win. Murray has not seen the baby since.

“To carry a baby, to fall in love with him, to deliver him, to build that uniquely special bond between a mother and a child, all to have him taken away,” Murray said at a press conference on Tuesday. “I’ll never be the same woman, I’ll never fully heal or completely move on and part of me will always long for my son.” Click here to read more.

 

DENVER, COL - Anne Marie Hochhalter, who was shot and paralyzed in the Columbine High School mass shooting in 1999, died on Sunday of natural causes, Fox News Digital has learned. She was 43.

Hochhalter, one of 23 people who were injured and survived the Littleton, Colorado, massacre, was confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of her life due to her injuries and is being remembered as a "pillar of strength" in her community.

She was shot in the back and chest as she ate with friends in the school’s cafeteria. Twelve students and one teacher were killed in the attack when twelfth-grade students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold opened fire. The shooters then killed themselves. Click here to read more.

In a significant policy shift, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could withdraw federal funding from schools and universities mandating COVID-19 vaccinations. This move aligns with the administration's stance against vaccine mandates, emphasizing individual choice over institutional requirements. The order specifically targets COVID-19 vaccines, excluding other immunizations like those for measles and polio. Critics argue that this action may undermine public health efforts and compromise student safety.

Concurrently, the Trump administration is undergoing notable changes in its Cabinet composition. Notably, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic, has been nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services. This appointment has raised concerns due to Kennedy's history of questioning vaccine safety, potentially influencing public health policies and vaccine programs. Despite controversies, the GOP-majority Senate is expected to confirm most of Trump's nominees. Click here to read more.

 

NEW YORK, NY - The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) sued the Trump administration Wednesday over the loss of tens of millions in federal funding for its services for illegal migrants.

The Catholic organization claims its loss of millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars is a violation of the Refugee Act of 1980, Fox News reported.

“For decades, the US government has chosen to admit refugees and outsourced its statutory responsibility to provide those refugees with resettlement assistance to non-profit organizations like USCCB,” the lawsuit alleges.

“But now, after refugees have arrived and been placed in USCCB’s care, the government is attempting to pull the rug out from under USCCB’s programs by halting funding,” the suit adds. Click here to read more.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - About $4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were missing a code that allowed them to be tracked, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project.

DOGE, led by billionaire Elon Musk, announced its discovery on X.

“The Treasury [Account] Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process),” the post said. “In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going.”

Musk also touted the announcement, calling it a “[m]ajor improvement in Treasury payment integrity.” Click here to read more.

 

ATLANTA, GA - A Georgia woman says her journey to motherhood has left her “emotionally and physically broken,” and now she is suing the company responsible.

Even as a child, Krystena Murray, 38, of Savannah, always told people it was her dream to be a mom. Two years ago, she became pregnant after undergoing in vitro fertilization, a life-changing procedure for people trying to have a child.

She said her joy was taken away within seconds of delivery after discovering that the fertility clinic had made a fateful mistake. She is now suing Coastal Fertility Specialists for negligence.

Murray had turned to Coastal Fertility Specialists to help her get pregnant. She began treatment in early 2023 and became pregnant the second time an embryo was implanted in her uterus. She gave birth in December 2023, but within 15 seconds of the baby boy’s arrival, her life had changed forever.

“He was beautiful and literally the best thing I had ever seen. But it was also immediately apparent that he was African-American,” said Murray, who, along with her sperm donor, is white. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - Michigan school districts including Lansing and Waverly in the capital region are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s executive order allowing immigration officers on school property.

Local district officials have changed or updated policies to affirm “welcoming school” resolutions and implement measures to protect any undocumented students and their families.

The Waverly Community Schools Board of Education on Monday passed a resolution “affirming commitment to a safe, inclusive and supportive school environment for all students regardless of immigration status,” according to The Lansing State Journal.

The resolution specifically states that all students, regardless of their immigration status, have the same rights to an education and privacy. In late January, the district’s superintendent posted on social media that ‘schools should be sanctuaries’ for undocumented students, FOX 47 News reported. Click here to read more.
