WASHINGTON D.C. - A Democrat congresswoman has revived an effort to provide reparations payments to black Americans for slavery, introducing legislation that would cost trillions of dollars.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) reintroduced the Reparations Now resolution, which was first introduced by former Rep. Cori Bush in 2023.

Lee says that the funds are owed to black Americans. “Black folks are owed more than thoughts and prayers. We’re owed repair, we’re owed restitution, and we’re owed justice,” Lee said at a press conference as she announced the reintroduction of the bill. “We’re here to say that there’s no more waiting, no more watering down, no more putting justice on layaway.”

If enacted, the bill is estimated to cost a whopping $14 Trillion The gross domestic product of the entire United States in 2023, by comparison, was just over $27 trillion, while the federal government’s entire budget in that same year was $6.1 Trillion. Click here to read more.

 

LANSING, Mich - A taxpayer-funded sweepstakes that encourage students to fill out a Free Application for Student Aid is a waste of public money, according to a state House representative.

The 2025 Michigan budget allocates $980,000 for the ‘Ticket to Tuition Sweepstakes,’ Gov. Whitmer promoted April 16. The governor is holding out a chance to share in a purse of $1 million in prizes in her effort to get all students to seek public assistance by filling out the student aid form known commonly as FAFSA.

Whitmer’s tweet included three checked boxes with instructions. “Fill out your FAFSA, Tell a friend to do the same, Enter to win up to $1 million in prizes.”

A webpage for the contest reads in part: “Ten students will win $50,000 and 40 students will win $10,000 cash in a Michigan Education Savings Program account. That’s money that can be used for tuition at a community college, university or career training program, as well as room and board, living expenses and more!” Click here to read more.

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - We’ve all been there: you go out with friends, have a great time then they leave you stuck with the bill. After four years of reckless, ruinous and arguably illegal Joe Biden administration policies, America will be stuck with a massive border bar tab for years to come.

President Donald Trump is busy keeping his promises to secure the border, remove aliens in accordance with the law, and hold noncitizen visitors and students accountable for the promises they made when getting visas to respect our country and its rules.

He’s been sued at every step by illegal aliens and their left-wing advocates. Lower-level federal judges—usually, but not always appointed by Democrat presidents and working in Democrat-dominated states—are ordering nationwide injunctions as a default, in cases filed on the flimsiest of legal pretexts.

According to former Attorney General Bill Barr, federal courts issued a total of 27 nationwide injunctions in the entire 20th century, but they’ve issued 79 against Trump alone this century. Click here to read more.

 

EASTLAND, Texas - A routine day turned tragic when a Texas man was attacked by a swarm of bees while mowing the lawn.

Stephen Daniel was mowing the lawn April 27 near an abandoned structure beside Friendship Park when he disturbed a large beehive, according to an Eastland Police report.

The bees swarmed, following Daniel into his vehicle.

As Daniel attempted to escape, he ended up in Chrishae Cooper’s family’s front yard. She saw him struggling to fight off the bees and called 911. Shortly after, police raced to the scene to attempt to help Daniel.

Despite his efforts to flee, Daniel was attacked by a large number of bees. He later died at the hospital from circulatory collapse due to the stings.

A beekeeper was called to remove the hive from the property.

 

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - Across Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, Meta Platforms is racing to popularize a new class of AI-powered digital companions that Mark Zuckerberg believes will be the future of social media.

Inside Meta, however, staffers across multiple departments have raised concerns that the company’s rush to popularize these bots may have crossed ethical lines, including by quietly endowing AI personas with the capacity for fantasy sex, according to people who worked on them. The staffers also warned that the company wasn’t protecting underage users from such sexually explicit discussions.

Unique among its top peers, Meta has allowed these synthetic personas to offer a full range of social interaction—including “romantic role-play”—as they banter over text, share selfies and even engage in live voice conversations with users.

To boost the popularity of these souped-up chatbots, Meta has cut deals for up to seven-figures with celebrities like actresses Kristen Bell and Judi Dench and wrestler-turned-actor John Cena for the rights to use their voices. The social-media giant assured them that it would prevent their voices from being used in sexually explicit discussions, according to people familiar with the matter. Click here to read more.

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

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 ...

BREAKING: Federal Court Rules Schools Cannot Force Students to Use “Preferred Pronouns”
Court rules schools can’t compel students’ speech in pronoun disputes

CINCINNATI — The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that public schools cannot compel students to use “preferred pronouns,” finding that doing so would violate free speech protections under the First Amendment.

The decision stems from a case involving the Olentangy Local School District in Ohio, which barred students from referring to transgender or nonbinary classmates by their biological pronouns. Parents and students argued that the policy violated their right to express the belief that sex is immutable.

In the ruling, Judge Eric Murphy wrote that the district “introduced no evidence that the use of biological pronouns would disrupt school functions or qualify as harassment under Ohio law.” The court cited Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969), emphasizing that schools cannot restrict personal speech on matters of public concern unless it would “materially and substantially disrupt” school activities or infringe on the rights of others.

The case will now return to a lower court for further proceedings, but the appellate decision marks a significant victory for free speech advocates who argue that schools cannot compel students to speak in ways that conflict with their beliefs.

As schools see record budget, prominent Democrat says that’s not enough

Michigan schools are underfunded by $4.5 billion, Democratic members of the state Board of Education member said in an October resolution.

The resolution, brought to the board by Mitchell Robinson, endorsed the Invest in MI Kids proposal, which would amend the Michigan Constitution to double the state income tax rate on high earners.

But measures of proficiency and classroom attainment indicate that massive spending hikes do not lead to better education outcomes.

Michigan Senate Democrats praised historic school funding in July 2023, but that sentiment did not last long. Click here to read more.
