OLYMPIA, Wash. — A Washington state home loan program promises to counter racial discrimination by limiting the ethnicities of those eligible for its services.

The Covenant Homeownership Program is a product of the state’s 2023 Covenant Homeownership Act, which received bipartisan support in the state legislature. That law directed the Washington State Housing Finance Commission to conduct a study on ways to reverse “racial disparities in home ownership.”

“The Covenant Homeownership Act acknowledges the State government’s role as both an active and passive participant in generations of discriminatory policies and practices that created barriers to credit and homeownership for historically marginalized communities in Washington and that these discriminatory actions continue to impact these communities today,” the study reads.

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND - The hits keep coming for one of the most infamous global organizations of our time.

The World Economic Forum (WEF), once the most prestigious international networking (and progressive political advocacy) group in the world, is facing a crisis that threatens to take down the whole organizational entity.

Klaus Schwab, the founder and 50-plus-year uncontested head honcho of the WEF, resigned from the organization without warning on Sunday. This caught onlookers by surprise and led to a plethora of intrigue about what exactly is happening at the outfit that hosts the annual high-profile confab in Davos, Switzerland.

Well, now we know what’s been causing a ruckus behind the scenes.

The World Economic Forum launched an investigation against Schwab after whistleblowers came forward with a plethora of serious allegations against both Mr Schwab and his wife, Hilda, who had long been intimately involved with the organization. Click here to read more.

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Senate Democratic Minority Leader Jason Pizzo announced his abrupt departure from the Democratic Party Thursday in a scorching and emotional speech during session.

“The Democratic Party in Florida is dead,” Pizzo said. “It craves and screams anarchy, and then demands amnesty. That’s not OK.”

izzo told senators that he “FedEx’d” his voter registration change in Broward County. His new affiliation will be “No Party Affiliation.”

“Partisanship holds us back rather than propels us forward,” he said. “Less gets done, not more more so than most […] Have I been blessed? I’ve been blessed with an incredible family and friendships who parade love, loyalty and sacrifice more than any one person deserves.”

“The party that my dad volunteered for with JFK, when he was 18 years old in 1960, is not the party today,” he said.

“I hope the members of the Democratic Caucus will elect a new leader, for, today, I have FedEx’d my voter registration form to change my party affiliation to No Party Affiliation,” the senator said. “Our constituents are craving practical leaders, not political hacks.” Click here to read more.

 

PHOENIX, AZ - Our communities are the building blocks of society. Whether neighbors, churches, family, or the family we create from our friends, our communities shape who we are. They also serve as core support systems. It is through these connections that we know what it means to be human.

For 25-year-old Austin Davis, his love for his community is the driving force behind everything he does. Austin has spent the past five years running Arizona Hugs, a group that provides meals and support for Tempe’s homeless population. He didn’t wake up one morning and decide on a whim to get into charity work; his call to serve arose organically as he built personal relationships with the homeless community. While attending Arizona State University, Austin would skate to class and around town, which is how he got to know the folks he lovingly refers to as his “homies.” Click here to read more.

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – A former Indiana elementary school teacher received her sentence for an incident involving a special needs student being forced to eat his own vomit.

Sara Seymour pleaded guilty to neglect of a dependent, which led to prosecutors dropping the charge of failure to make a report.

Seymour was sentenced to a year in jail, but she will not spend any additional time behind bars because she is getting credit for time served and the rest of the sentence was suspended to probation.

This sentence stems from an incident in 2023 where a 7-year-old special needs student threw up in the cafeteria.

A fellow school employee said Seymour instructed the child would have to eat the vomit.

All five of the staff members present during the incident were either fired or resigned from the school.

 

 

GREAT BRITIAN - Just when you thought things couldn’t get more crazy – It does get more crazy.

I have previously reported on how a company called Make Sunsets have been spraying TOXIC chemicals in the air in order to block out the sun.

But now Britain is about to do the same.

Within the next weeks the British government will be giving the green light to conduct experiments to dim sunlight to stop global warming they say.

They are considering field trials which include spraying particles into the atmosphere in order to block out the sun, and the government has set aside a whopping £50 million for this.

Other ideas they have include creating certain clouds to allow more heat to escape from earth. Click here to read more.

 

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIF - The tragic deaths of two American teenagers at the hands of an illegal alien was “completely preventable,” according to a top Department of Homeland Security official.

Illegal alien Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano was deported from the U.S. twice before being “convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, which resulted in the death of a young American couple,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, told The Daily Signal. “This criminal illegal alien should have never been in our country.”

Ortega-Anguiano was sentenced to 10 years in prison after crashing into a vehicle on a freeway in Orange County, Calif., in 2021, claiming the lives of Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin, who were both 19 at the time.

The parents of the teens were informed on Easter Sunday that the man responsible for their children’s deaths will be released from prison early. Click here to read more.

 

CHINA- President Donald Trump mocked China on Tuesday for its pollution, which represents a sizable share of the world’s waste.

Trump posted a series of photos to his Truth Social account that showed islands of floating bottles, plastics, and other waste in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The president called the mess “A Gift from China.”

China is one of the foremost polluting countries, commonly ranking near the top on lists of nations that produce the most waste that finds its way into the natural environment. China was number four on a list of “highest ocean plastic waste polluters in 2025” put together by the United Kingdom’s GreenMatch.

China produces 71,000 metric tons of plastic waste that ends up in the ocean, according to GreenMatch. China ranked just behind Malaysia, which produces 73,000 metric tons. The Philippines and India took the top two spots at 360,000 metric tons and 130,000 metric tons, respectively.

 

LANSING, MICH - A Michigan dentist with 40 years of experience is challenging a 2020 directive from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that requires all health care professionals to take implicit bias training to keep their professional licenses.

Kent Wildern, a dentist who practiced in Grand Rapids, was forced to surrender his license after he refused to complete the hotly debated social training.

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs implemented new rules in 2022 that compel more than 400,000 health care professionals to complete two hours of implicit bias training every renewal cycle.

Michiganders licensed by the state across 26 occupations ranging from medical practice to santitary services to acupuncture must complete the training to renew their professional licenses. Veterinarians were exempted. Click here to read more.

 

Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison is trying to explain his support for a Muslim children’s organization that is being prosecuted for massive fraud.

Federal prosecutors have been investigating the Minneapolis-based Somali organization that was supposed to be raising funds for children but instead turned into the most expensive fraud concerning COVID funding in the entire nation, where 47 Somali immigrants have been charged with stealing $250 million in federal COVID funding.

Yet, Ellison took a meeting with representatives of that charity even as it was being investigated and now, in an op-ed, he is suddenly claiming, “as for the meeting — if I had had any way of knowing beforehand who those people were and what they’d done, I never would have agreed to it.”

But his claim is hard to square with his past statements on this very group, not to mention a recently released recording of a meeting he took with them. Click here to read more.

 

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing the extent to which parents can opt their children out of public school instruction in which LGBT-themed books are read as part of the curriculum.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday morning in the case of Mahmoud, Tamer, et al. v. Taylor, Thomas W., et al. The case centers on whether public school parents in Montgomery County, Maryland — the state's largest school district — have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to exempt their children from lessons that feature LGBT ideology.

Eric Baxter of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty argued the case on behalf of a diverse coalition of Christian, Muslim and Jewish parents, saying in his opening arguments that "petitioners deserve complete preliminary relief" from the school district because it won't allow them to opt their children out of such instruction.

DENTON COUNTY, TX - Tributes poured in for Denton County Precinct 3 Commissioner Bobbie Mitchell and her husband, Fred, as more details emerged Tuesday about a stabbing that police say led to the arrest of the couple’s grandson Monday morning at their home in Lewisville.

Fred Mitchell, 75, died from his wounds soon after the incident, police said, while Bobbie Mitchell, 76, is expected to recover after undergoing surgery.

The couple’s 23-year-old grandson, Mitchell Reinacher, is suspected of stabbing his grandparents and is facing charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

ST. PAUL, MN — A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill in the Minnesota House of Representatives that would classify mRNA vaccines and products as "weapons of mass destruction" and criminalize their manufacture, distribution, and possession.

"It's a shot across the bow of the biotechnology industry, which has taken advantage of its unique liability protections and the fear generated by emergency to fast-track novel gene-altering treatments which are not fully understood," Rep. Walter Hudson (Albertville), one of the bill's authors, told Patch.

"These treatments were coerced under threat of lost employment and social censure, rather than offered under the longstanding ethical norm of informed consent."

Hudson said the bill "would need significant amendment to become law" but described its "bold opening position" as an effort to "provoke productive conversation about these issues" and ultimately "arrive at a reasonable legislative response." Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former White House Chief Medical Adviser and a prominent figure during the COVID-19 pandemic, has seen a significant increase in his wealth since retiring from government service, according to the government watchdog group Open the Books.

"He was the highest-paid bureaucrat when he was working for the federal government, he was making $480,000 as his final salary. He’s actually doing even better post-retirement," said Rachel O’Brien, Public Policy Editor at Open the Books.

Open the Books obtained Fauci’s financial disclosure, revealing that his household earned more than $3.5 million in 2023. This included multiple six-figure deposits, though the sources of these deposits were not detailed in the documents. Fauci reportedly had several paid speaking engagements and sold his memoir to a subsidiary of Penguin Random House for approximately $5 million. Click here to read more.

 

HOOVER, Ala. - Nearly two years after faking her own disappearance, Carlee Russell has paid less than $1,000 in restitution to the City of Hoover.

A Jefferson County judge appeared satisfied with Russell as she briefly stood before him in court Tuesday for a probationary review, during which it was reported that she had paid roughly $500 so far to Hoover in $50 monthly installments.

That judge also confirmed Russell has successfully completed her supervised probation.

Russell has been ordered to pay nearly $18,000 to the city for expenses related to the two-day search for her.

While Russell is said to be making restitution payments to the city of hoover in a timely manner, prosecutors say the amount of time it’s taking is frustrating.

An attorney for Russell told reporters following the court appearance that it’s been difficult for her client to find work due to the widespread media attention of her disappearance. Click here to read more.
