NEWARK, NJ - What in the world are these mysterious drones that have been flying over New Jersey the past couple weeks? Or, at least, we believe they’re drones. Nobody has really gone up there to confirm, and no one has brought one down to take a look at these things. Instead, for some bizarre reason, we’ve just been letting them fly around up there, causing a ruckus in the news and most government officials to simply shrug their shoulders. Are they new government technology, drones from a foreign adversary, a hobbyist project, or are they UFOs and UAPs?

Let’s start with what might probably be the easiest explanation. Most officials who have looked into the matter have stated these drones are not a hobbyist project. Given the scale of these objects, the numbers of them, and the sophistication of the technology they seem to display, if this were to be some sort of side project by a drone enthusiast, then this particular person (or group) would have to be wealthy or, at least, very well-funded. Sure, I could purchase a good-quality commercial drone for a few hundred dollars, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. These particular drones appear to be about six feet in diameter and contain a technology that eludes radar detection and is making it difficult for officials to track. The couple times police helicopters have gone up to take a look, the drones have turned off their lights and have seemingly disappeared into the night sky. However, to this point, these craft have only been witnessed over New Jersey which indicates a local point of origin. Could this be a billionaire’s practical joke? Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - Democrats in Lansing on Wednesday rammed a raft of anti-gun measures through two separate House committees.

Collectively, House Bills 6183, 6184 and 6185 would eliminate the firearm industry’s civil liability protections. It would also allow civil actions against firearm industry members for “contributing to a public nuisance” by manufacturing and distributing products or failing to implement “reasonable controls.”

On Wednesday, the Michigan House Committee on Judiciary voted 8-5 along party lines in favor of the three measures. The measures are part of a series of anti-gun bills Lansing Democrats filed in their last days holding majorities in the House and Senate.

State Rep. Andrew Fink, R-Adams Township, and other Republicans opposed the push as an attack on the firearm industry and a way to hinder lawful gun ownership.

“This legislation effectively suggests that a manufacturer of a product that Michigan citizens have a constitutional right to use, keep, and own could be held liable for the proper functioning of said product,” Fink said in a statement. “This would be like a car manufacturer being sued for a vehicle being used to intentionally harm another individual. The driver should be responsible for that crime, not the manufacturer. In this case, if a firearm is used for the purpose of committing a crime, it appears to me that this legislation would allow the attorney general or citizen to file an injunction against the manufacturer.” Click here to read more.

 

DEL RIO, TX - The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul a massive amount of border wall materials away from the southern border to be sold off in a government auction, an apparent effort to hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s effort to secure the border, The Daily Wire has learned.

Videos obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire from a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent show unused sections of the wall being hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a section of the border just south of Tucson, a hotspot for illegal crossings during the Biden administration. The agent estimates that up to half a mile per day of unused border wall is being moved.

“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the border patrol agent, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told The Daily Wire. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.” Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Twenty-six confidential human sources (CHS) cooperating with the FBI were in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, in connection to the Capitol riot, a report from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) revealed Thursday.

The CHSs, who were not undercover employees, provided information to FBI “handling agents,” the report states. FBI field offices tasked three of the sources to “report on domestic terrorism subjects” in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6.

The OIG noted that none of the CHSs were authorized to enter restricted areas — including the U.S. Capitol — or violate the law. Four sources, however, were inside the Capitol during the riot, and 13 entered a security perimeter around the building.

“None of the CHSs who entered the Capitol or a restricted area has been prosecuted to date,” the report states.

One CHS was reimbursed for travel on Jan. 6 and the inauguration, according to the report. The CHS was not tasked with attending the electoral certification, the OIG noted. Click here to read more.

 

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state's governing body for high school athletics announced Tuesday it is considering forming a separate division for transgender athletes to compete in.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) currently allows high schoolers in the state to compete in sports based on gender identity. However, a proposed policy amendment would require athletic programs to be offered separately for a boys' division, a girls' division and an "open" division.

Any athletes who wish to compete based on their gender identity would be required to participate in the "open" division, according to the proposal. Eligibility for the "open" division would also include athletes "in the process of transition that have undertaken medical changes," the proposal says.

A separate proposed amendment would also require participation in girls' sports to be limited to students whose biological sex is female. The amendment, modeled after guidance in Alaska, acknowledges such a move may spark legal challenges due to some interpreting the policy as "discriminatory."

However, the language asserts the proposed change "emphasizes inclusivity" and still encourages transgender students to participate in athletics. Click here to read more.

School board bans clapping....seriously

ALPENA, Mich. — A new rule banning applause and other displays of emotion at Alpena Public Schools board meetings has sparked pushback from community members who say the policy infringes on their free speech rights.

The board recently adopted a policy prohibiting clapping, cheering, booing, or any demonstrations from audience members during meetings. Board President Eric Lawson said the restriction is meant to prevent disruptions and maintain order.

“We’re doing our best to show respect to you all and make sure you have adequate time for your comments,” Lawson said during a recent meeting. “Please show the board a little respect as well.”

Not everyone in attendance agreed. Several residents voiced frustration, including one woman who argued that clapping constitutes symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

“Clapping is a universal symbolic action that typically expresses approval,” she said. “Up until one week ago, clapping was a regular occurrence at these ...

News they don't want you to see
Tuesday September 30, 2025

Welcome to all my new followers here on Locals! I’m an independent journalist who walked away from 25 years in legacy media as a news anchor and reporter in Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. I left because I was done with the bias and scripted narratives. Now, I report directly to you — bringing real, unfiltered news that the mainstream often ignores.

 
 

Michigan to end its biggest business subsidy program

Early reports indicate that lawmakers have a deal to complete the state budget, and that it will include an end to the state’s largest business subsidy program. The state currently earmarks $500 million of the corporate income tax to the Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve, which writes big checks to big companies. That earmark would end under the reported budget deal.

It’s a good move. The SOAR program is a waste of money. Lawmakers used the program to propose nine deals that offered $1.45 billion to create 14,779 jobs. However, $720 million has been spent and no jobs have been created, according to the latest state report.

Nor should lawmakers expect that deals deliver on their promises. The major deals that the lawmakers made from 2000 to 2020 produced just 9% of the jobs that were promised. Click here to read more.

 

Trump Scores $22M Payout After YouTube Settles Lawsuit Over Account Suspension

YouTube reportedly agreed to a $24.5 million settlement over a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump over the suspension of his account in 2021.

The vast majority of YouTube’s settlement will be directed toward funding construction of a new White House ballroom that Trump is building. Court documents say that $22 million will be given to the Trust for the National Mall, which is “dedicated to restoring, preserving, and elevating the National Mall, to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom,” according to FOX News.

The remaining settlement money, $2.5 million, will go toward other plaintiffs on the case, such as the American Conservative Union, according to the Wall Street Journal. Click here to read more.

Chicago Teachers Union honors convicted murderer, wanted terrorist

The Chicago Teachers Union honored a convicted murder and wanted terrorist on social media following her death, drawing sharp condemnation from Chicago Alderman and governors from multiple states.

What did the Chicago Teachers Union do?

The Chicago Teachers Union posted on social media honoring the memory of Assata Shakur, a former Black Liberation Army member convicted in the 1973 killing of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster. CTU’s post quickly drew angry responses from across the nation.

CTU’s post read in part: “Rest in Power, Rest in Peace, Assata Shakur… Today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.” Click here to read more.

 

Michigan House Passes Pot Tax Hike to Pave the Roads

LANSING, Mich. — Lawmakers want Michigan drivers to dodge potholes with pot money. The state House voted September 25 to slap a new 24% wholesale tax on marijuana, projected to raise $420 million a year for local road repairs and bridge fixes.

The proposal, part of a larger budget framework to avert a government shutdown this week, sailed through the House in a 78–21 vote with bipartisan support. Ten Republicans and 11 Democrats opposed it.

House Speaker Matt Hall (R-Richland Township) said Republicans negotiated Gov. Gretchen Whitmer down from her original ask of a 32% tax.

Still, industry leaders warn even the lower rate could drive customers back to the black market and put smaller dispensaries out of business. “Everyone knows that a large increase in cannabis taxes drives customers straight back to the illicit market,” Robin Schneider of the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association said.

Secrets of the deep, deep tunnels where nuclear waste is buried

The lift is accelerating into the earth, the geologists and engineers on board stifling groans as their bodies move faster than their stomachs.

“This is the fastest passenger elevator in Europe,” says Pasi Tuohimaa, 64, a spokesman for Posiva, the nuclear disposal company that runs this facility. The lift drops 433 metres in 66 seconds before the passengers, slightly unsteadily, step into a vast network of tunnels excavated below the island of Olkiluoto off Finland’s west coast.

This is likely to be the last group of visitors to make this journey down into the bedrock. Next month Posiva will close the tunnels for a series of tests.

Then, if all goes to plan, spent nuclear fuel will be transported early next year down dedicated lift shafts before robotic machines bury the 24-tonne copper and iron canisters in the rock where they will remain for the rest of time.

This is the world’s first deep geological disposal facility for nuclear fuel, a concept that has been discussed by engineers and politicians for half a century. More than 20 other countries including the UK, US, France and Sweden have plans to follow suit. But the Finns have got there first. Click here to read more.

Mass shooting at Michigan church
The very latest

GRAND BLANC TWP, Mich — A Sunday morning worship service at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Township turned tragic when a gunman rammed his vehicle into the building, opened fire, and sparked a blaze. Authorities say multiple people were shot and the suspect was “down” after law enforcement engaged him.

The incident unfolded just before 10:30 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, when a 40-year-old man from Burton is alleged to have driven into the front doors of the church. He then exited the vehicle and began firing rounds into the congregation.

 

Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye said two responding officers confronted the shooter, leading to an exchange of gunfire. The suspect was killed. He was reportedly armed with what appeared to be an assault rifle.

At least ten victims were transported to local hospitals — among them at least one person who died. Chief Renye warned more victims may be discovered once responders can search areas affected by the fire, saying “there may be people up there … that were unable to get out of the church.”

The suspects truck had American flag on the back of the truck.

 

Law enforcement confirmed that there is no ongoing threat to the public. The fire that broke out in the building was still burning as responders rushed to contain it.

Federal agencies including the FBI and ATF were dispatched to the scene to assist state and local authorities. Officials have not yet released a motive or full identity of the shooter.

The State Police bomb squad is at the home of the suspect. I have been told the name of the person who is believed to be the shooter but I am not releasing it until I can confirm it with law enforcement.

 

In the wake of the attack, national figures responded with condemnation and prayers. President Donald Trump called it a “targeted attack on Christians” and said he had been briefed on the situation. Vice President J.D. Vance and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi also expressed support and sorrow, with Bondi calling the violence at a place of worship “heartbreaking and chilling.”

 

The local congregation released a statement calling the event a “tragic act of violence,” expressing gratitude to the first responders and pledging cooperation with investigators.
