The corporate controlled media only covers a few stories. They miss a lot. I am bringing you this newsletter to give you stories they aren’t covering on a national level. If you are able to become a paid subscriber it will help me to keep doing this work.

 

 

 

 
 

PALM SPRINGS, CALIF - It was just a few days ago that we discussed the extreme level of disdain that Democrats were displaying, seemingly out of nowhere, toward a small number of white refugees who were arriving in the United States. All at once, the same people with the yard signs that proclaim “no one is illegal” and “love is love” were suddenly overcome with bloodlust, all because a handful of Afrikaners landed at Dulles airport. In the history of “mask-off moments” in this country, this one ranks pretty high on the list. It’s a bit like when the Manson Family single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the hippie movement. Once you start talking about murdering people — or actually murdering people — you can’t really recover from it. No one’s going to buy your “peace and love” schtick ever again. They’re going to see you for exactly what you are. Click here to read more.

 

ORLANDO, FLA _ So the mainstream media is freaking out once again.

This time because Ron DeSantis signed a bill making Florida the second state in the USA to ban adding fluoride to the public water supply.

In other words, this means that something good has happened.

A little while ago, I reported on how Utah became the first state to do this. Now Florida is following suit.

”Yes, use fluoride for your teeth, that’s fine, but forcing it in the water supply is basically forced medication on people” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said.

But here is the thing I don’t understand. Yes, we know that fluoride is effective in preventing caries. But why put it in water where people drink it? Surely the most effective way to use fluoride would be to use toothpaste or something similar – Not drinking it.

A new official government report found that fluoride can in fact affect IQ of children. Click here to read more.

 

DALLAS, TX - In April 2025, nearly two dozen members of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang seized control of a unit in a Texas ICE detention center. They flooded cells, covered cameras, threatened to take hostages, and ignored direct orders for hours. According to the Department of Homeland Security, it was a deliberate, coordinated uprising by foreign gang members held in American custody.

That should have been the end of the conversation.

Yet just days later, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Trump administration could not deport MS-13 detainees back to El Salvador’s Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT), a purpose-built prison for the worst gang offenders and terrorists. Instead, these paramilitary threats remain in US facilities that were never designed to hold foreign combatants and transnational predators. The justices framed the issue as one of civil rights, missing the broader, grimmer reality: the American prison system is not neutral ground, it is a battlefield, and we are arming the enemy with procedural rights.

ATLANTA, GA - (AP) - Home Depot doesn’t expect to raise prices because of tariffs, saying it has spent years diversifying the sources for the goods on its shelves.

Billy Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising, said during a conference call on Tuesday that Home Depot’s suppliers have shifted sourcing across several countries and that the company doesn’t expect any single country outside of the U.S. will represent more than 10% of its purchases 12 months from now.

“We don’t see broad based price increases for our customers at all going forward,” he said.

Other companies, domestic and foreign, have warned customers that price hikes are on the way due to a trade war.

Walmart said last week that it has already raised prices and will have to do so again in the near future. Late Monday, Subaru of America said it would raise prices on some of its most popular models by as much as $2,000.

President Donald Trump lambasted Walmart, saying on social media over the weekend that the retail giant should “eat” the additional costs created by his tariffs.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF - For more than a decade, parents were inundated with unsubstantiated claims that violent video games influence children and teens to be violent.

Now, from California comes the story of exactly the opposite occurring. A teenage gamer, who routinely engages in virtual violence, took action to prevent violence from actually happening.

On May 11th, in Tehama County, members from the Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit carried out a search warrant on two houses on Bowman Road and Lake California.

Inside, two juveniles aged 14 and 15 were found to be in possession of improvised explosive devices, guns, and a manifesto explaining the motives behind a yet-to-be-carried-out attack which in their minds killed one set of parents, and 100 people at Evergreen Middle School, in Cottonwood.

Now in juvenile detention awaiting formal prosecution, the media has been informed that the search warrants were approved based on the information provided by an as-yet unidentified teenage video gamer from Tennessee, who heard the imprisoned pair discussing their plot whilst playing computer games with them.

BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

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

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

Feds Conduct Door-To-Door Checks At Suspected Minneapolis Fraud Sites

Homeland Security Investigations agents were on the ground in Minneapolis on Monday, conducting door-to-door checks at suspected fraud sites, as authorities examined the alleged involvement of Somali immigrants in a broader criminal scheme.

The Department of Homeland Security posted a video showing two agents entering a convenience store, where they ask the clerk about a suspicious business next door. Last week, independent journalist Nick Shirley posted a 42-minute video allegingthat numerous daycare and learning centers in the Twin Cities area had no children on-site, despite receiving millions of dollars in government funding.

“The American people deserve answers on how their taxpayer money is being used and ARRESTS when abuse is found. Under the leadership of [Secretary Kristi Noem], DHS is working to deliver results,” Homeland Security posted on social media. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan Election Rocked by AI Deepfakes Targeting GOP Candidate

SAGINAW, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan’s latest political controversy isn’t about tax policy or crumbling roads – it’s about digital deception. A series of AI-generated deepfake videos recently circulated online falsely portraying a Republican candidate as gay and aligned with a transgender advocacy group, fueling voter confusion and renewed scrutiny in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence. A deepfake is AI-generated media that makes it look or sound like someone said or did something they never actually did.

A now-deleted website and Facebook page were uncovered portraying Saginaw attorney Jason Tunney, a candidate in the 35th Senate District’s February 3 special primary, as gay and backed by a transgender group calling itself “Tranneys for Tunney.” Included were videos showing Tunney kissing another man and speaking in front of pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Tunney, who is not gay, is married to a woman named Pamela and is a conservative Republican. Click here to read more.

‘Just Snapped’: Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole Jr.’s Confession Revealed in Court Docs

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Federal prosecutors told a judge that the man suspected of planting pipebombs near the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in January 2021 confessed to the crime in an affidavit filed Sunday.

The Department of Justice announced Dec. 4 the arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on charges of transporting an explosive device and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

In the filing, prosecutors note Cole said he “just snapped” and wanted to punish both political parties, adding he was inspired by The Troubles, a roughly 30-year ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland.

“The defendant explained that after the 2020 election, ‘when it first seemed like something was wrong’ and ‘stuff started happening,’ he began following the issue closely on YouTube and Reddit and felt ‘bewildered,’” the filing said. Click here to read more. Click here to read more.

 

The miracle cure for sickle cell is now 2 years old. Most are still waiting.

The Trump administration has a plan to provide access to new treatments for sickle cell disease, the hereditary condition that has meant a lifetime of excruciating pain and debilitating health issues for tens of thousands of mostly Black Americans.

It’s one of few initiatives on which President Donald Trump and the public health establishment are aligned. But for parents desperate for a cure for children with a disease that, besides pain, causes infections, vision problems, delayed puberty and regular visits to the hospital, it doesn’t mean they’ll get the gene therapy treatments anytime soon.

Trump administration rolls out $50 billion rural health fund

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced Monday that it was launching its $50 billion initiative to help rural communities nationwide, which was created through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July.

All 50 states will receive monetary assistance that will go to rural areas starting next year, with the first wave of awards ranging from $147 million to $281 million.

The awards are expected to be used to bring more resources to Americans in rural areas, including by expanding preventive, primary, maternal, and behavioral health services; strengthen and sustain the rural clinical workforce; and modernize medical technology in rural areas.

Michigan's minimum wage is going up
What you need to know
Michigan’s minimum wage is going up on January 1, 2026, under the state’s Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act. The hourly minimum wage for most workers will increase from $12.48 to $13.73. That’s a $1.25 bump that affects tens of thousands of Michigan workers.
The increases are part of a schedule written into law that will take Michigan’s minimum wage to $15 per hour on January 1, 2027, and then tie it to inflation after that.
What Changes on January 1, 2026
  • Standard minimum wage: increases to $13.73 per hour from $12.48.
  • Tipped workers: will see the tipped minimum wage go up to $5.49 per hour (40 percent of the full minimum wage) as long as tips bring them up to at least the full rate.
  • Minors (ages 16 and 17): can be paid 85 percent of the minimum wage, rising to $11.67 per hour.
  • Training wage: for employees under age 20 in their first 90 calendar days of employment remains unchanged.
These changes come from Michigan’s labor department and the wage rules posted by the state. They reflect a planned schedule of increases that lawmakers set into motion after legal and legislative actions over the last few years.
Why It’s Happening
Under current Michigan law, set by the state legislature and state wage rules, annual increases are scheduled until the $15 minimum wage is reached in 2027. After that, annual adjustments are tied to inflation. This means the minimum wage won’t just sit still after 2027; it will move with changes in the cost of living.
For the official wage schedule and full details straight from the state, see the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity’s minimum wage page:
