CHICAGO, IL - McDonald’s has ended certain diversity goals for its leadership and suppliers following a review that included the legal impacts of a US Supreme Court decision that barred racial preferences in university admissions.
The fast-food chain said on Monday that it will drop “representation goals”. The company had previously aimed to have women to account for 45 per cent of global leadership roles and for 35 per cent of US company leaders to come from “underrepresented,” or non-white, groups, by the end of 2025.
McDonald’s also said it will no longer ask suppliers to sign a pledge known as the Mutual Commitment to DEI. The company’s diversity team will now be called the “Global Inclusion Team” and it will
FREELAND, Mich - Michigan’s environmental agency could fine a Freeland man $1.7 million for deepening his own pond.
From 2020-2023, Joshua Wenzlick expanded a small pond on his property. The state considers the land, a former sand mine, a regulated wetland, according to his brother Zachary Wenzlick, who spoke to Michigan Capitol Confidential in a phone interview.
After confirming that the local government didn’t require him to obtain a permit for the project, Joshua hired Schlicht Ponds of Montrose, a licensed contractor, to excavate the pond to about 20 feet in one section. That depth is sufficient to sustain wildlife when the pond freezes over in the winter, ensuring there would be enough oxygen.
Joshua stocked the pond with about 700 fish — a mix of bass, bluegill, crappie, and perch. After stocking the pond, ducks, geese, and painted turtles moved into the pond, Zach said. Click here to read more.
JACKSON, OH - An Ohio teacher who resigned after refusing to use students’ preferred pronouns and names will receive a $450,000 settlement from her school district.
Vivian Geraghty sued the Jackson Local School District in 2022, and the settlement was reached last month, the New York Post reported over the weekend. She was aided in her suit by Alliance Defending Freedom, which released a statement to NBC4 late last week.
“The school tried to force Vivian to accept and repeat the school’s viewpoint on issues that go to the foundation of morality and human identity, like what makes us male or female, by ordering her to personally participate in the social transition of her students,” said Logan Spena, legal counsel for ADF. “The First Amendment prohibits that abuse of power, and Jackson Local School District officials have learned that comes at a steep cost.” Click here to read more.
BOSTON, MASS - Police charged five students at Assumption University with ambushing, chasing down and falsely accusing a soldier of being a sexual predator back in October.
Police alleged that the five accused lured the 22-year-old victim to campus with the purpose of framing him as a sexual predator looking for underage victims, WCVB 5 reported. The students were inspired by the TV series “To Catch a Predator” and a recent TikTok trend of people mimicking the show, police said.

One student — 18-year-old Kelsy Brainard — allegedly messaged the victim on a dating app. Their messages developed in a sexual manner and her friends organized the plot, according to police. Brainard took the man into a basement lounge and watched TV with him, court documents citing campus video footage said. Almost 30 students then allegedly approached the man. Click here to read more.
LANSING, MICH - With Trump-endorsed Republican Mike Johnson from Louisiana retaining the Speaker’s gavel after the Friday vote on January 3rd, members of Congress have been sworn in and are officially back to work.
Republicans are now poised to control Congress with what will be a razor-thin 217-215 majority. This count excludes former GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who did not return to Congress, as well as two other representatives transitioning to roles in the Trump Administration.
Four of the 215 Democratic Representatives – Michigan’s Debbie Dingell, Haley Stevens, Rashida Tlaib, and Shri Thanedar – returned to Congress after winning re-election, despite all four voting against the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes.
The Nancy Mace-sponsored “Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act” which was voted on less than four months ago sought to remove rapists, pedophiles, domestic abusers, stalkers and other predators from U.S. soil. But these four Michigan Democratic Reps, along with 154 others at the time, decided the legislation was a step too far for them to vote for as we reported back in September. Click here to read more.
