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.

No, keeping it real after hours tonight

Katie and I are both not feeling well so there will be no after hours show tonight.

News bias?

This morning, the Trump administration announced that one of the top MS 13 gang members was arrested on the East Coast of the United States. Fox News is the only network to lead with this during the 9 a.m. hour.  The other networks lead with old news.

WASHINGTON D.C. - BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, historically a supporter of green energy initiatives, acknowledged that wind and solar alone “can’t reliably keep the lights on” without “major breakthroughs in storage” and wrote that it’s necessary to be “clear-eyed about our energy mix” in his annual chairman’s letter to investors on Monday.

Fink supported the transition to green energy in the past and heads BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, which has pushedfor Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG). Fink said in 2023 that he would no longer use the term ESG due to its political connotation, though he’s “not ashamed” of the term and believes in “conscious capitalism.” Fink praised nuclear power and raised doubts Monday regarding the reliability of solar and wind energy alone due to storage issues in his annual chairman’s letter. “We need energy pragmatism. That starts with fixing the slow, broken permitting processes in the U.S. and Europe. But it also means being clear-eyed about our energy mix,” Fink wrote in the letter. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON — The most recent border crossing numbers from the U.S. government show the lowest monthly total ever recorded.

In March, the Border Patrol data shows that around 7,180 southwest border crossings were recorded.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said it's a dramatic drop compared to the monthly average of 155,000 from the previous four years. Daily southwest border apprehensions also fell to around 230 per day, a number CBP officials said is one that the United States has never seen before.

In the Trump administrations report released Tuesday, CBP noted that the Biden administration experienced 5,100 crossings in a day.

CBP added that last month's border crossings in the southwest mark a "pivotal achievement in our nation’s border security efforts." Click here to read more.

 

SALT LAKE CITY - Utah is now the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, despite widespread opposition from dentists and national health organizations.

Fluoride in public drinking water has benefits and drawbacks. Positives include reduced tooth decay, especially in children, as it strengthens enamel and prevents cavities—supported by decades of public health data.

It’s cost-effective, benefiting communities broadly. Negatives involve potential overexposure, leading to dental fluorosis (mild tooth discoloration) or, in rare cases, skeletal issues.

Some argue it’s an ethical concern, mass-medicating without consent. While deemed safe by major health bodies like the CDC, debate persists over necessity and individual choice. Click here to read more.

 

ATHENS, Mich. – A tragic summer day in August of 2024 ended with the death of a three-year-old boy left strapped in a car seat in a hot SUV with the windows rolled up for over eight hours. His father, 36-year-old Chad Martin of Athens, has avoided immediate jail time so far.

Martin was sentenced Thursday, March 27th in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court to nine months in jail and three years of probation for the death of his son, who was discovered lifeless in the backseat of Martin’s vehicle on August 13, 2024 after temperatures outside of the vehicle had climbed above 80 degrees.

But in a controversial move, the Kalamazoo County Circuit Court judge delayed Martin’s jail time until a status hearing in December. According to WWMT-TV, the decision will hinge on Martin’s progress while on probation, leaving open the possibility that he may never serve a day behind bars. Click here to read more.

 

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. - As a home burned early Tuesday morning, sending deep black clouds of smoke into the sky, four Farmington Hills police officers kicked their way into the home to rescue 8 people from the inferno – putting their own lives at risk.

During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Farmington Hills Police Chief John Piggot and Fire Chief John Unruh spoke about the fire and the bravery of the officers to rush in. Piggott said there's no doubt in his mind that their actions save people's lives.

"Failure to act is going to result in people dying and that's where you're proud that all the training and all their instincts went to this, like their instincts were to save lives. And, you know, when when you watch the video for the first time and you see the officer running up to that front door and without hesitation, kick the door and go straight in. And there wasn't any hesitation," PIggot said.

The 8 people rescued from inside the home are expected to be okay. Three of the four officers are hospitalized with breathing issues after inhaling the black smoke. Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - For decades, Michigan lawmakers have sworn that corporate subsidies create prosperity. Yet the Strategic Outreach Attraction Reserve, Michigan’s largest subsidy program, has spent $670 million in three after its inception and has not created any jobs, according to a new report.

Politicians promised that the SOAR would create 8,812 jobs.

In 2021, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed Senate Bill 844, which created the Strategic Outreach Attraction Reserve and authorized the state to hand out $1 billion to select companies. “Today, I am proud to sign another bipartisan bill that will build on Michigan’s growing economic momentum, attract billions in investment, and create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs,” Whitmer said in 2022. “The bipartisan legislation will help us grow, attract, and retain businesses in Michigan, ensuring we can lead the future of mobility and electrification and bring supply chains of chips and batteries home to Michigan.”

Two significant projects attracted by the fund have either been paused or shrunk as few Michigan consumers have adopted electric vehicles. About 50,000 EVs are registered statewide, according to the federal government. 

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Remember, the Left said that anybody who had doubts about the balloting or the procedures or the change in laws of voting in 2020 was an election denialist. And they always cited Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, kind of conspiracy theorists that were saying computers were communicating with China or Venezuela.

We’re not talking about any of that. We’re talking about the fact that in 2020, 158 million people voted. Four years later, only 155 million. That’s only happened, I think, two or three times in American history, where four years later, fewer people voted. But the country grew by 11 million people. So, that was kind of odd that we went from an 11 million increase in population but we decreased by 3 million voters.

The other thing that was very odd was that traditionally we only had about 40% of people voting before Election Day, either through mail-in balloting or early balloting. And that was very apparent in 2018, when a traditional 35% to 40%, depending on the state, did not vote on Election Day. But given the changes that were democratically inspired, on Election Day, in 2020, 70% of the people had already voted. And about 55% to 60% of those, even higher in some states, were Democrats.

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A bill that aims to expand parental rights over minors’ healthcare, including stricter consent requirements for surveys and medical procedures, passed a Florida House committee Monday.

What it does: HB 1505 expands parental rights in Florida by requiring parental consent for surveys and questionnaires administered to minors, removing existing exceptions that allowed minors to access certain healthcare services without parental consent, and requiring parental consent for the use of biofeedback devices on minors.

  • The bill eliminates exceptions allowing minors to obtain healthcare services without parental consent, including family planning, abortion-related care, STD treatment, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment.

  • It requires written parental consent for all medical procedures on minors, except in emergencies or when authorized by a court.

Survey and questionnaire consent: Under the bill, parents gain the right to review and consent to any survey or questionnaire given to their child.

  • Parents must approve the sharing of survey responses, with clear notice of recipients and the purpose under the bill. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Virginia Giuffre, the woman behind a civil lawsuit against the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, says she now has days to live following a bus collision.

Giuffre wrote via social media her vehicle crumpled like “a tin can” after colliding with a school bus allegedly traveling roughly 70 miles per hour. She has since gone into renal kidney failure and says doctors told her she has just four days to live.

I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes,” she wrote. S”**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day. Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life.

She notes in her Instagram bio "pursuit of justice doesn’t stop with Epstein-the elites who trafficked me and so many others are going down-the house of cards will begin to fall.”

Giuffre’s lawsuit named notable figures such as former President Bill Clinton, Britain's Prince Andrew, physicist Stephen Hawking, and law professor Alan Dershowitz, who she claimed were associated with Epstein. She settled her suit against Prince Andrew and withdrew her claim against Dershowitz in 2022. Click here to learn more.

 

VENICE, Calif. – Francesca Padilla was awakened by the sound of screaming people and breaking glass. Soon she could hear the tortured howls of her neighbor’s dog Togo as the bungalow right next to her Venice home was engulfed in flames.

"It was yelping so loud--the sound isn't the usual dog sound--it was suffering,” another neighbor told a local newspaper. “It was suffering." The homeowner, Dr. Courtney Gillenwater, a pediatrician, was at work when the fire started around 3 a.m. Her neighbors tried and failed to break into her bungalow to rescue Togo. But the Husky-mix ultimately died, and Gillenwater’s home in this Los Angeles neighborhood was destroyed.

Gillenwater suspected that drug addicts from the growing homeless encampment nearby started the April 2021 fire because she had asked city officials to remove a dumpster behind her house where they would congregate.

Her neighbor, Padilla, also believes the homeless were the culprits. “Anyone can see the correlation between homeless encampments and the rise of fires," she said. “We have people cooking drugs out in the open right across the street. Is that not a recipe for disaster?” Click here to read more.

LANSING, Mich - In February alone, 6,000 became unemployed as numerous businesses issued layoff notices.

According to Wayne Rourke, labor market information director for Michigan’s Center for Data and Analytics, the state’s “unemployment rate has gone up slightly in the first two months of the year, mainly due to a rise in the number of unemployed people.”

Over the last year, 70,000 Michiganders have lost their jobs.

In February alone, 6,000 became unemployed as numerous businesses issued layoff notices.

According to Wayne Rourke, labor market information director for Michigan’s Center for Data and Analytics, the state’s “unemployment rate has gone up slightly in the first two months of the year, mainly due to a rise in the number of unemployed people.”

He also noted in a statement the “size of the state’s labor force and number of payroll jobs have also increased in both January and February.”

The reality is February’s one-tenth of a percentage point increase in unemployment to 5.4% marks the 11th straight month of growing unemployment in the Great Lakes State, which is now at the highest rate since September 2021, when it declined to 5.6% as the pandemic waned.

Rourke told WEMU factory workers returning from layoffs last month mitigated some manufacturing job losses, but weak demand for new vehicles continues to drive workforce reductions. Click here to read more.

CHICAGO, IL - Fewer than one-third of Illinois fourth-grade students met or exceeded reading proficiency standards on a recent national assessment, part of a nationwide literacy crisis in which students are already behind in fourth grade.

Students failed to meet or exceed reading standards in most states in 2024. Illinois joined 40 other states and Washington, D.C., in which 1 in 3, or fewer, fourth-grade students met or exceeded reading standards.

Research has pinpointed third grade as a critical reading milestone because students need to have learned to read by then or they will not be able to absorb curricula during the remainder of their school years. If they cannot read, social studies, math and other subjects become incomprehensible and their futures bleak.

But there’s hope: Many states, including Illinois, have passed laws aimed at aligning reading instruction with evidence-based practices to improve the literacy and academic achievement of students. Still, Illinois could and should do more. Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGOTN D.C. - Considering the massive propaganda effort to brainwash Americans into believing that climate change will doom humanity if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels yesterday, it is impressive to see just how little the American public buys the narrative.

A recent poll finds that Americans value energy independence, keeping car prices lower, and reducing the cost of electricity ahead of fighting climate change.

When asked, “Is it more important to make America energy independent or fight climate change?” most respondents (57%) chose energy independence, while another 39% chose climate change, and 4% said they were not sure.

When asked, “Which is more important, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change, or keeping the price of cars low enough for families to afford them?” about half of respondents (50%) chose keeping car prices low, while 43% said reducing greenhouse gas emissions was more important. The remaining 7% said they were not sure. Click here to read more.

 

BRANSON, Mo. — The leader of the Predator Poachers, an online vigilante group who try to catch alleged pedophiles in sting operations, was arrested at a Steak ‘n Shake in Missouri, authorities say.

Alex Rosen, who has amassed more than 400,000 followers on X while chronicling his takedowns of accused predators, went to the Branson restaurant on March 26 and asked to speak with a certain employee, according to a probable cause statement.

The employee, according to an interview from Rosen, was previously accused of molesting a 12-year-old, and Rosen said the worker had engaged in similar activity again.

Rosen was asked by the restaurant manager to leave the property and was told multiple times he was trespassing, police said. Click here to read more.

 

PHOENIX, AZ – Two parents in Phoenix helped police catch a pedophile who’s now in prison for sending graphic videos and images to three elementary school boys in Scottsdale.

They’ve asked to conceal their identity, as their son was only 11 when he became one of at least six victims as young as 10 years old in at least three states, lured by the same man through the popular video game Fortnite.

And the one thing these parents did to ensure police and prosecutors got enough evidence to put him away for a very long time is a lesson for all of us.

“There were no busted-in doors, no broken locks, no shattered glass, but our home was violated. It rocked us and changed us forever,” the Dad said.

“So, what we’re seeing now is in sectors such as manufacturing and professional and business services, those are still our weakest sectors over the past year or so,” Rourke said. “Our retail trade has also been declining since last year. That’s not really a surprise due to all the news we’ve seen.” Click here to read more.
